Are you the parent of a highly reactive and hypersensitive child?

Perhaps your child...

  • Is easily upset, with angry or violent outbursts that can last for hours and for no apparent reason

  • Is defiant, has to get their way, is severely controlling, and doesn’t listen

  • Is “demand avoidant” and not able to handle any responsibilities or be able to do things you know they can do

  • Is sensitive, both emotionally and physically to noise, textures, lights, is a picky eater and has trouble sleeping

  • Is highly energetic and has trouble focusing, except when it comes to being on a device

  • Has a hard time with changes or transitions, and has trouble hearing “no” or adhering to boundaries

  • Is often labeled ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, Fussy, High Needs, Gifted, Depressed, Demand Avoidant, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, or Autism Spectrum Disorder

Do you find yourself feeling…

  • Constantly triggered by your child, even when you try hard to remain calm and loving?

  • Exhausted and overwhelmed by the constant challenges that never seem to end?

  • Fearful of your child’s future, worried what others may think and how your child will ever be independent and a part of society?

  • Frustrated and disappointed and even deep sadness and hopelessness that nothing seems to work and for how much work this is for you?

  • Angry or resentful - either outwardly or secretly - even though you know it’s not their fault

  • Numb and disconnected and having a hard time feeling present and joyful with your child?

  • Trapped…and in despair that your life will never change.

If any of these sound familiar - you’re not alone. Parenting a highly reactive and hypersensitive, high needs child is challenging. But there is support for you here. Please email me at [email protected] to book a free consultation

Introducing Regulated & Resilient Parenting

A trauma, polyvagal and neuroscience-informed approach to thriving (vs. just surviving!)
with your challenging child.

Parenting a highly reactive, hypersensitive, high needs child is no easy task. It challenges you to the extreme and leaves you feeling like nothing works.

The challenge is that nothing does work with these sensitive kiddos when we come from the old parenting paradigms of “behaviorism” that we have been conditioned to see our kids through.

The only choice, when operating blindly from these paradigms, is to react to our child. And, that’s because these old paradigms are not founded in the new neuroscience of behaviors and its biological basis.

The Regulated & Resilient Parenting approach takes the latest neuroscience on the nervous system and brain and shows you how to work at both a body and brain level to change the “conditioning” and “programming” that is keeping you stuck in a survival and reactive state with your triggering child.

It is founded on the premise that YOU are not your brain and body. YOU live with this brain and body, with all of its learnings and meanings that have been inputted into your survival system unconsciously at a young age from your family, society, culture and past traumas.

But YOU can break free of this programming that keeps you cycling between reactive and hopeless, and instead help and guide your nervous system and brain to a place of safety and empowerment.

But YOU can break free of this programming that keeps you cycling between reactive and hopeless, and instead help and guide your nervous system and brain to a place of safety and empowerment.

The RESULT? YOU can show up as a parent who…

  • Has a deeper, more embodied understanding of why reactions happen and how to help them, which then allows you to better help your child too.
  • Is calm, regulated, confident, resilient, can handle the challenges with greater ease and even create more connection and joy with your child.
  • Lives a more purposeful life with much less fear and instead more meaning, authenticity, hope, love, and unconditional acceptance of yourself and your child.

From this comes more connected relationships, with deeper trust, calmer behaviors and more hope for the future.

3 hidden stressors that cause explosions over the holidays

Dec 16, 2020

What parents are saying

Before working with Afshan I didn't have the words to identify what or why I was feeling the way I was both internally and also in the overwhelm of parenting. After working with Afshan I can now better identify signs of my own dysregulation. This has helped me parent with less explosions. But what I also found huge value in, is rather than having the same explosions when they do creep up, I now sit with them for what they were and then focus on my choice point to change the trajectory. What I like about Afshan is her voice and ability to break down the information she is sharing in a way that just makes sense. She has helped me understand a whole new perspective of my kids, husband, and really the world around me. I feel like I made HUGE progress throughout my time with Afshan. Her teachings are still with me everyday. The whole family benefited from my time with her. I spread the word about her every chance I get! For one, she has the best voice! She is also very organized and was able to keep us focused throughout our sessions. I found the way she teaches was very digestible and in return it made it "easy" to implement. I would highly recommend her because of the lived transformation I had working with her!

- Kate

Before coaching with Afshan, I was challenged with knowing how to calm down my daughter when she would have constant tantrums. It was very draining, disheartening, and I felt powerless and like an incompetent parent because I wasn't able to help her, or to regulate my own emotions. After Coaching With Afshan, I have very specific tools that I can use to bring my nervous system down. She also offered me many insights and changes in perspective, which I found immensely valuable. Afshan was very kind, compassionate, understanding, and had a ton of knowledge and experience relating to children with high needs. Not only is she able to teach you how to manage the difficulties you may be facing, she is also able to offer you specific paths to look into that you may not have thought about. I truly feel like a more capable mother after working with Afshan :)

- Victoria

Before coaching with Afshan, I was struggling with rage, giving looks of disapproval, lack of confidence and worthiness. In 6 sessions, Afshan helped me to make a lot of changes in my thought processes, beliefs and action changes too. I am a calmer parent, a more aware person and in touch with my consciousness. I feel worthy and able to handle situations from my true self, feel supported from my Self and way less reactive. Afshan was so gentle, non-judgmental, gave prompt quality feedback and checked in with me. I felt I could trust her right away. All which made a difference. I feel gratitude.

- Katerina

In coaching with Afshan, within 6 sessions, I definitely feel I have come a long way in terms of staying calm and being less angry. My children and husband have noticed and recognized when I *would* have “exploded” in the past, but am now holding it together better. I used to think that “Staying calm/being less angry” were two sides of the same coin, but now I see them as more separate: I think now I can get angry about something and not let it overflow into things unrelated and as a result of that I am more calm. Now I am more “in the moment” with my interpersonal in-home relationships and can deal with conflict better. I think my biggest (emotional) obstacle was getting a hold on my anger issues. All the other things have progressed because that anger is not as ever-present as it was. Afshan’s ability to listen with an understanding heart, making it feel like a safe place to share my conscious and unconscious thoughts, and following up with emails and suggestions on how to deal with complicated feelings between sessions helped me to feel heard and like I mattered.

- Lilia

Afshan’s coaching helped me to improve my relationship with my husband and let go of a lot of built up resentment and bitterness. I am much better equipped to handle disagreements and things don’t escalate like they used to. I am much happier and more at peace. Afshan helped me to listen to and understand what my emotions were telling me. It’s amazing as the little things that used to bother and sometimes consume me now don’t effect me at all. I also was able to understand my soul’s journey and my life purpose. I am so grateful. I believe I’m a much calmer and better mom as a result of this inner work.

- SD

Before coaching with Afshan I always felt like “my kids were doing this to me” and they were being “bad”. I felt frustrated and very concerned that they were not nicely behaved human beings. At the same time I felt a lot of guilt for getting frustrated with them. As we worked together, I learned that a lot of my reactions to my children were due to my own traumas I had experienced with my parents and at school, which resulted in me feeling like I was “bad”. As we healed these wounds I found myself not reacting as much with my kids. I could see that their behavior was just a cry for help and I could feel more love and acceptance for them. I was also able to let go of the guilt and shame of feeling like I wasn’t a good enough parent. I’m much happier and more at peace as a parent.
