Some kids really know how to do this well, of course! AND, it's important to remember that it's not a race, and it's HEALTHY to need other humans - especially when we're struggling. Children should not be able to "just deal with it" yet. Co-regulation is such an important gift we can give them: it creates so much safety with their own feelings.

his applies to a therapist with a client or a friend with a friend. It's like has said: what makes something better is not so much your verbal response to another person as it is your connection with them. And connection is about nonverbal communication. Connection is about presence far more than words. Podcast episode 70 dives into all this in more depth.

🧠 “That’s just how they are” isn’t always harmless.

Sometimes it’s how dysfunction hides in plain sight.
Especially when someone’s never been held accountable to change.

The brain loves patterns… even toxic ones.
If a behavior worked once to avoid discomfort, gain control, or protect ego… the mind wires it in as “normal.”

But unchecked behavior isn’t the same as unchangeable behavior.

Growth takes effort. Regulation. Self-reflection.
And not everyone is willing to do that work, especially if the people around them make excuses instead of setting boundaries.

You’re allowed to expect growth.
Even from the people who’ve “always been that way.”

✨ A mind can change at any age. But it has to be willing.

I believe a good trauma therapist is like a healthy parent. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
A good parent:⠀⁠
*seeks to know⁠
*remembers ⠀⁠
*guides⁠
*cares for ⠀⁠
*bonds⁠
*enjoys the relationship⁠
⠀⁠
For childhood trauma survivors - the idea of being parented got wrecked. We raised ourselves and when a toxic parent tries to parent, it feels like a betrayal or a manipulation or hypocrisy. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
So when we find a healer, we can experience deep shame since having a caring person in front of us is so foreign and necessary - our inner child feels like we are bad for needing it or getting that attention. Being seen can be uncomfortable in the beginning.⠀⁠
⠀⁠
We can also experience defiance, freak out, or feeling like we are being controlled. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
Staying and tolerating being parented is part of the work when the therapist/healer is safe. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
Have thoughts on this one?

Maybe this is a great thing for you! I truly hope it is.
If it's not, though, just know that your brain is just doing it's job...playing forward the script/pattern it learned (that's also how we remember to walk, for example).
If we want to do ANYTHING a new way, it takes intentional focus. Fortunately, it's possible, especially with evidence-based and compassionate support, whether that's from someone like me, or from someone in your personal circle. ❤️

I cover more ideas of what to do instead in the book, but one option is to realize that children really do have a sincere and legitimate need for our presence and engagement. Can we do this all the time? Of course not. When we can, though, we can realize they're not exhibiting "bad behavior" - they're asking for us to show up for them. ❤️

Our Story

Our office is homey and inviting. Each therapist believes that our relationship with our Creator is an essential part of the healing process. Vincent Ketchie, LPC works with ages four and up. He has a play therapy room where he allows children to express themselves through play. Oftentimes younger children have not developed the communication/social skills to express how they feel. Through the use of play, Vincent comes alongside the child to better understand their perspective. Vincent also works with couples. He has a heart for preserving marriages and enjoys working on communication skills. Laura Ketchie, LPC works with ages 12 and up. Women come to her to work on depression, anxiety and trauma. She comes alongside the client to help them understand their unhelpful thinking habits and improve the quality of their thought life. Office hours by appointment.
