In this episode, I sit down with Casey Ehrlich, Ph.D. to discuss the unique challenges of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and offer heartfelt guidance and practical strategies to help you and your child thrive.

Key Topics Covered:
  • Understanding PDA and why conventional parenting methods often fall short.
  • How to separate yourself from societal judgment and trust your instincts.
  • Building a supportive and neuro-affirming environment tailored to your child's needs.
  • Strategies for enhancing autonomy and reducing stress for PDA children.
