About this episode
When your teen girl retreats to her room and locks the door, it feels like rejection.
But her nervous system is actually doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
In this episode, discover what emotional regulation truly looks like, why bedroom withdrawal is a sign of *health*, not distance, and the one question that changes everything about how you interpret her behaviour.
Learn the physiology behind the door, and what she really needs from you.
If this episode helped you to feel a little more seen, understood and less alone, I'd love to welcome you into WTF - What's The Feeling - don't you know? A supportive community where mums make sense of what's really going on with their daughters, together.
Because you shouldn’t have to figure this all out on your own.
