Get UnPuzzled

This was a special clip we couldn't let slip by our listeners. This bonus clip featuring Brittney Rutledge will help you understand the root causes of abandonment trauma and how it relates to caregiving and the development of our own deep rooted emotional impacts it causes. 

Join me as I sit down with Theresa Evanoff, the psychologist who diagnosed our son with autism. Together, we reflect on the pivotal moments that reshaped our family's life and explore the profound impact of understanding and acceptance. We talk about the emotional roller coaster that families go through upon receiving a diagnosis and what anxiety overcomes a provider who is giving the news. I hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation about hope, growth, and the power of a strong support group. 

Eileen Lamb, one of the leading voices in the autism community, shares her journey of raising two children on the spectrum, including one with profound autism who needs constant care. She discusses the challenges of facing death threats from social media trolls, advocacy work, and her third published book. She discusses what gave her the push to keep writing and her dedication to be a voice for her children and hundreds of thousands of followers.

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Trinity Keenan, a therapist and mother who had to make the difficult decision of placing her son in a residential home where he would have constant care and support. As she navigated the complex emotions and challenges that came with this choice, she discovered her own path to healing through therapy and other techniques she shares. Join us as she takes us through a journey of transformation, discussing her own diagnosis, struggles, insights, and resilience that led to her becoming a source of support and dedicating her life to other special-needs parents. We are constantly reminded throughout this conversation, that we are never completely alone in this journey. 

In this episode we discuss what defines trauma and how our bodies respond to fight or flight responses.
