When a Session Starts to Fall Apart, It's Hard to Know What to Do First
In the moment, you are trying to support regulation, keep the child engaged, and guide the caregiver--all at once. Without a clear starting point, it can feel like you're guessing.
- The child becomes dysregulated or shuts down
- You shift strategies just to keep things going
- You're not sure what will actually help in that moment
- They want to help but don't know what to do
- Carryover at home feels inconsistent
- You hear, "What should I be doing between sessions?"
You don't need a new treatment plan -- you need a simple place to start.
