This presentation explores how parents’ nervous-system responses shape family interactions and influence patterns of connection and conflict. Participants will learn to recognize escalation cycles, regulate their own responses during difficult moments, repair relational ruptures, and model healthier emotional regulation. Practical, trauma-informed strategies will help parents respond with greater awareness, flexibility, and connection while supporting a more regulated family system.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate two strategies for repairing relational ruptures and modeling healthy emotional regulation to strengthen connection and resilience within the family system.
- Identify and apply two trauma-informed strategies for managing their own emotional responses, interrupting conflict cycles, and supporting co-regulation during moments of adolescent emotional intensity.
