When a young person lashes out, shuts down, or spirals into fear, it can feel sudden and sometimes even irrational. But when we look at the situation through a neuroscience-informed lens, what often feels like defiance or overreaction is actually the brain doing exactly what it was designed to do: protect.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to support a child in pain, you're not alone. I’m honored to join a powerhouse lineup of mental health leaders at the 2025 Child and Adolescent Mental Health Conference hosted by PESI—a live online event dedicated to giving you fundamental, research-backed tools to support the youth who need us most.

Together, we’ll explore effective, developmentally appropriate strategies to support kids and teens facing trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, suicidality, and more. These are the challenges showing up in our schools, our homes, and our therapy rooms, and they require a new kind of support because our kids deserve more than survival. They deserve safety, support, and the chance to thrive.

Neuroscience studies the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, focusing on physical structures and biological functions. Psychology explores behavior, thoughts, feelings, and emotional patterns.

Both fields help deepen understanding of lived experience. Neuroscience approaches it through biology, while psychology examines internal processes and responses.

When we're traumatized, it's difficult for us to fully connect with ourselves and understand our own needs and feelings. It also impacts our immune system, leading to increased hypervigilance of foreign bodies.

To heal the trauma, the amygdala must be calmed, and the mind-body relationship must be intentionally tuned into. This process allows us to release stored trauma and relearn how to listen to our bodies and trust our intuition.

Dealing with grief can be challenging for anyone, but when trauma is present, the grieving process can become even more complicated. Those with a traumatized brain may experience more intense and prolonged reactions to grief.

Additionally, trauma can increase the risk of developing complicated grief, which can have severe symptoms that can impact day-to-day functioning. Many different factors can influence the way someone responds to grief, such as the type and timing of the trauma, individual resilience, and available support systems.

The timing of symptom onset for PTSD can vary.

While some may experience symptoms within a few weeks or months, others may not develop PTSD until several years later. The delayed onset of symptoms highlights the complex nature of PTSD and the need for continued support and understanding for those who have experienced trauma.

It is important to recognize that the delayed onset of symptoms does not diminish the seriousness of the trauma experienced. Regardless of when symptoms manifest, anyone who has experienced trauma deserves compassion and support.

Supporting someone on their recovery journey can be really meaningful, but it can also be exhausting and might require putting personal needs on hold. This self-sacrifice can sneak up and lead to burnout if not managed carefully.

Keeping a healthy balance means caring for personal well-being and building a solid support system. Taking breaks, expressing emotions, and reaching out when needed are all part of sustaining that support. Keep going.
