Regulate & Rewire: An Anxiety & Depression Podcast

What My Four-Year-Old Knows About Healing That Most Adults Don't


Listen Later

In this episode, I share a personal (and slightly unconventional) parenting story about letting my 4-year-old son practice walking on our roof. As risky as it might sound, the experience brought three profound lessons about healing: the importance of practice, the power of pacing, and the value of having support.

Join me as we explore how these lessons apply to your journey of emotional regulation and self-healing, especially if you didn’t grow up with the tools or guidance to navigate your emotions. Together, we’ll uncover a framework for building self-compassion and moving forward in a way that feels intentional and supportive.

Key Takeaways:

  1. It’s okay to practice. Let yourself be bad until you're not anymore.
  2. It’s okay to go slow. There’s no rush to get it “right.” Moving at a pace that feels safe and manageable is how real, lasting change happens.
  3. It’s okay to ask for support. It’s actually essential – we’re here for you.
