Episode 18: The 60-Second Protocol: How to Stop Reacting and Start Responding
Update: 2025-08-28
Description
In Episode 18 of The Family Architect: Parenting by Design Rather Than by Default, Philippa introduces a powerful, practical tool from The Regulated Mother Method™: The 60-Second Protocol.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about what you do in the very first minute after being triggered — because those 60 seconds often decide whether you default to old patterns or create a new pathway of connection.
Inside this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why your brain forgets everything you know about parenting when you’re triggered (and why that’s not a flaw).
- The 3 steps to take in the first 60 seconds:
- Stop – Pause and name what’s happening.
- Breathe + Move – Reset your nervous system with breath and simple movements.
- Anchor a Choice – Whisper a grounding phrase that rewires the old story.
- How to personalise your anchoring phrase depending on your Trigger Archetype.
- Real-life stories from mothers who have used this protocol to transform meltdowns, disrespect, and overwhelm into moments of reconnection.
- Why “repair, not perfection” is the true goal of parenting by design.
This tool is simple, science-based, and available to you anytime, anywhere. It’s not about being calm all the time — it’s about reclaiming your power in the heat of the moment.
