Send us a text

We share a hard summer of bathroom destruction, broken trust with family, and a support group that didn’t get it, then find relief in small wins: a playful de‑escalation, emerging words, and happy tears that we learned to name. 


• family boundary breaches and safety risks
• obsessive bathroom behaviors and home damage
• product lockdowns and supervision trade‑offs
• safe medical sedation tip for procedures
• a simple co‑regulation trick that worked
• signs of speech returning after regression
• nervous system healing and calmer dynamics
• happy tears, labeling emotions, gentle support
• holiday stress, criticism, and emotional armor
