Listen "Unpacking Aggression"
Episode Synopsis
Returning guest, DIR® Expert Training Leader and Licensed Professional Counsellor, Mike Fields, joins us to discuss aggression. We’ll cover praxis, regulation and co-regulation, neuroception (i.e., the body scanning the environment for safety), limit setting, self-directed aggression, trauma, and more, across age groups. Aggression is one thing when your child is a toddler, but can be a very scary thing when your child gets big. DIR® folks will talk about a child not feeling safe, but it can almost sound trite when parents, of course, always want to do what’s best for their child and don’t understand why their child isn’t feeling safe.Link to the show notes with links to key discussion points and other ways to view or hear the episode here: https://affectautism.com/2022/09/10/aggression/Consider joining our DIR® Parent Network or becoming an Affect Autism member for bonus content and support from a like-minded community of Floortimers here: https://affectautism.com/support/
