Kristin shares practical, realistic tools for “emotional hygiene,” nervous system regulation, and repair after conflict with your kids, plus a powerful framework she calls the Ripple Effect Method (physical, social, emotional, spiritual). They also explore inner child work, birth trauma triggers, and therapy modalities like EMDR and brainspotting. Key Topics Covered Why motherhood feels so judged (and why community changes everything) When moms tend to seek help: “drowning” vs “preventative” support Repairing after yelling: what to say to toddlers/preschoolers Emotional hygiene: caring for your mental health like you care for your body Kristin’s “Ripple Effect Method”: physical, social, emotional, spiritual pillars Introvert vs extrovert needs and “people in doses” Glimmers, window of tolerance, and regulating your nervous system Inner child work and re-parenting yourself while parenting your child Birth trauma and why kids’ crying can feel like your body is on fire EMDR vs brainspotting (what they are + how they help) “Date your therapist” and why fit matters Why therapy can be lifelong support, not a one-time fix Guest Info Kristin Cogan Therapist & Coach for Moms (specializing in trauma and nervous system regulation) Book in with Kirstin Here: https://calendly.com/imperfectlywonderful/15-minute-phone-consultation?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnG0oF_p2HY_pzGKweKd8I4WFjpHgTzElfNq7beZvizGP3aaCkY9C4ij_VOn8_aem_Sdva_swtwbZ6cvssIp978Q Instagram… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/busy-mom-talk-the-podcast-7194699/episodes/nervous-system-support-mom-burnout-and-healing-trauma/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/busy-mom-talk-the-podcast-7194699/nervous-system-support-mom-burnout-and-healing-trauma.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
