    How to Flex Talk Therapy for Neurodivergent Kids & Teens, with Dr. Matt Zakreski

    Contrary to the medical model of prescribing antibiotics or stitching up a wound, mental health is not simply about "fixing" patients. Therapists can feel pressure from parents or school staff to improve a child’s emotional or behavioral functioning as quickly as possible, but mental health is both a science and an art. It also takes trust and time. In today’s episode, Dr. Matt Zakreski and I talk about how structured approaches and time frames just don’t fit with the flexibility needed when working with neurodivergent kid and teens. Listen in as Dr. Matt and I discuss flexing the structure, timing, and modality of therapy based on a kid’s skill development, what to expect as parents when your child or teen is in therapy, and how we can empower our kids to take ownership of their mental health journey.   Tune in to find out why it's not one size fits all! ---Sign up for Dr. Emily's weekly newsletter at www.learnwithdremily.com This is a public episode.

    ADHD in the Classroom, with Melissa Jackson

    While working in the classroom as a teacher in both special education and general education settings, and in helping her own kids learn to read, Melissa Jackson started to notice that the teaching methods she had been taught in teacher prep courses didn't work equally with neurotypical and neurodivergent learners. So what did she do about it? Today, Melissa and Dr. Emily King discuss the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in traditional educational settings, advocating for a strengths-based approach and emphasizing the importance of collaboration between educators and parents. They also touch on topics like early intervention for children with learning differences, emotional regulation for individuals with ADHD, and task management strategies. Tune in to gain insights on navigating the complexities of neurodivergent identities with acceptance and self-compassion. ---Sign up for Dr. Emily's weekly newsletter at www.learnwithdremily.com This is a public episode.

    Understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), with Casey Ehrlich

    PDA most commonly stands for Pathological Demand Avoidance.  But Dr. Casey Ehrlich prefers to call it Pervasive Drive for Autonomy or Protective Demand Avoidance.  Today, Dr. Ehrlich unpacks why understanding PDA and nervous system responses starts with supporting children's drive for autonomy and equality. She and Dr. Emily also discuss the alarming issue of burnout in children, and the transformative power of play therapy in regulating emotions. If you're looking to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for neurodivergent children, this episode is a must listen. --- Casey Ehrlich, Ph. D.

    Are You a Sober-Curious Parent?

    Parenting is challenging. Add neurodivergence and a busy job to the mix, and sometimes (ok, often) you feel like you deserve that glass of wine. But does it make things better or worse? Are you a sober-curious parent? Today, Casey Davidson and Dr. Emily share their personal journeys of transitioning to sobriety, shedding light on the challenges of moderation and the addictive nature of alcohol. There are both physical and emotional benefits of reducing alcohol intake, but societal pressures around alcohol, particularly for women and mothers, can make even being sober-curious a challenge. So what can we do about it? --- Casey Davidson is a sobriety coach for busy women, and the host of the Hello Someday Podcast. ---Sign up for Dr. Emily's weekly newsletter at www.learnwithdremily.com This is a public episode.
