Listen "#135: Why Adult Dysregulation Looks Like Resistance (And What to Do About It)"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhat looks like resistance is often dysregulation in disguise—showing up as avoidance, blame, or burnout. We talk all the time about helping kids manage their emotions, but what about adults? When adults become dysregulated, their brains shift from thoughtful decision-making to fight-or-flight mode, sabotaging effective communication and clear thinking. Kim Hall breaks down exactly what's happening during these moments and shares a simple, powerful strategy to hit the “calm the heck down” button—helping you move from knee-jerk reactions to intentional responses. Because as coaches and leaders, we can’t effectively support our beautiful educators and students until we've regulated ourselves first. The Whole Educator is now booking for the 2025–2026 school year—keynotes, PD, and our Human Centered Academy are all designed to turn resistance into real progress.
