Description
Welcome back to the Healing Mothers Club! Have you ever wondered why popular parenting hacks don't work for your child who presents with signs of Autism? This episode is for you. Dr. Carolyn Solo, PhD, LCSW joins the club and shares:
- How her personal journey raising 3 daughters, one of whom is PDA Autistic, led her to a complete shift in parenting - from behavioural approaches to nervous system approaches;
- What PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance or, as we like to call it, Pervasive Drive for Autonomy) is all about and how to accommodate the nervous system;
- How she was able to find safety within, despite going against what parenting professionals recommended + traditional schooling
