27: When All The Emotions Regulation Tools Don't Work, with Alice Bullivant.
04/22/24 • 26 min
What can we do when all the usual emotional regulation techniques and strategies fall short for our child? If you've wondered this, you're in the right place.
Alice is an ‘energy plumber’. She unblocks the blocks that people have when nothing else seems to 'work'. In this episode, she speaks about what happens when problems in the body, such as primitive (baby) reflexes don’t integrate into purposeful, functional behaviours. Behavioural challenges, disorganisation, learning difficulties and even anxiety (like with my own child!) can come up.
And so when all the usual “tools” don’t work – it can be life-changing to be open to taking another route. Alice was captured by kinesiology when her son was unhappy, angry, impulsive, yet very bright, within 5 sessions of kinesiology she had a “different child”.
Alice shared a powerful story about a client, a boy she worked with who after receiving kinesiology with her, no longer needed a whole load of supports and plans at school to get through a day, his after-school meltdowns reduced significantly, and he was no longer stuck in a pattern of strict organisation in his bedroom (a coping mechanism of anxiety).
I hope you enjoy this episode and if you’re wondering whether kinesiology might help you and your child, please get in touch with Alice, here are her links:

26: Cooperative Co-parenting in Separation and Divorce with Aurisha Smolarski and Stephanie Pinto.
If you're going through a separation or divorce, and experiencing co-parenting battles, this episode is right up your alley. The challenges are quite possibly one of the hardest thing you'll ever navigate, BUT there are solutions. We discuss cutting emotional cables, dealing with poor communication, competitive parenting, emotional transition days, triggers and more. Aurisha Smolarki, LMFT and certified co-parent coach is here to explain what's underneath the triggers, the anger, the battles and the heart-wrenching pull of being a loving parent to a child whose other parent you are no longer romantically connected to. Aurisha's book is Cooperative Coparenting: The Attachment Theory Guide to Raising Kids in Two Homes. Aurisha Smolarski is a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified co-parenting coach, certified mediator, and mother, with a clinical practice in Los Angeles, CA. She specializes in working with co-parents, couples, and individuals. As a co-parent herself, she is very familiar with the challenges faced by parents raising kids in two households. For fifteen years, she has drawn on attachment theory and other modalities to help clients move from conflict to cooperation, make child-centered agreements, and create a secure co-parenting two-home family system.

28: My Wake-Up Call This Week: Navigating Scary Videos and Bedtime Meltdowns
After removing YouTube from our home about 4 months ago (see previous episode on this in Dec 2023), we had a huge setback this past week. This is a pretty vulnerable episode, I wish I handled myself and the situation better... but, lesson learnt. I know you'll take a lot away from this episode - I speak about boundaries, safety, dealing with big emotions, dysregulation, anxiety and even laughing in the face of a crying child (yep, that was me. Told you I'm not perfect!). Do your kids access YouTube in your home? How does you find it - fine, worrying or downright stressful? I'd love to know. *** If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you. Email us at [email protected] and send me your thoughts, feedback or questions!
