About the episode
You’ve done the deep breathing and tried every self-regulation trick in the book…So why does single-parenting still feel so freaking hard?!
In this episode, Dr. Gila shares two often overlooked pieces of the puzzle, and why a parent’s self-regulation, while essential, isn’t the whole answer (especially when single-parenting a strong-willed or neurodivergent child!).
Tune in to hear:
• The limits of self-regulation (and why that’s not your fault)
• How to find acceptance without giving up hope
• The missing “kid piece” that changes everything
