    Don't let them talk to you like this!

    In this episode, I share my experience with behavioral issues that seem absolutely impossible.  I will share what I did to redirect behaviors and start to get to the root of the emotions that cause what is deemed bad behavior.  For children with trauma induced PTSD, it can seem like walking through a mine field.  It is important to understand the whole picture and have an open mind!
