For the mum of an anxious, neurodivergent or emotionally intense child who has tried everything and is still ending up in the same place
Developed by leading emotional health coaches and behaviour specialists Emma and Laura, Co-founders of The Emotions Lab
Our method is for parents of children with:
Anxiety • ADHD • ASD • OCD • PDA • RSD • School Refusal • Explosive Anger • Emotional Dysregulation • And much more.
What these have in common:
Most of these presentations share the same root an underlying sensitive biology with a nervous system that is more reactive than average. When we reduce that reactivity at a biological level, rather than managing symptoms at the surface, real and lasting change becomes possible.
This is why the method works where other approaches haven't. It isn't designed around a diagnosis. It's designed around the biology underneath it.
What our mums are saying....
What you will learn
- Why the loop keeps repeating no matter what you try and why it has nothing to do with effort.
- The role your body defaults to when things escalate, and why it happens before you have any say in it.
- The role you've been unconsciously putting your child in and why they can't stop playing it.
- Why you cannot think your way out of this dynamic (and what that means for every strategy you've tried)
- How one person stepping out of their role breaks the whole pattern.
What you will do during the session
- You'll bring something real from this week. Not a hypothetical, an actual moment. An argument, a standoff, a meltdown, a scene you've been replaying in your head since it happened.
- You'll map it live with Laura.
- Where you went, where your child went & how you locked together. And you'll leave with a clear picture of exactly what you need to do differently, not in theory, in that situation, with that child.
What you will leave with
- Not notes or homework but your specific default role on the triangle, the one you have been moving to automatically, long before this child arrived.
-
Why your body goes there and how to catch it before you're already inside it.
- But more than that: the understanding that this is a learned pattern. One that runs on its own until you can actually see it.
- That's what changes your child's behaviour. Not a new technique for the next explosion or another thing to try but the ability to see what's happening between you, in the moment, and choose differently.
Why us?
We're sisters raising neurodivergent kids. Their big emotions and difficult behaviours ripped through our family lives for years.We tried everything. Until we realised it wasn't our children who needed to change. It was us.Our own dysregulation, fear and over-responsibility was keeping the whole family stuck.We didn't come to this through reading or research (though we've done plenty of that). We came to it through doors slamming, meltdowns, shut downs, hearts pounding... lying awake wondering what was happening to our families.
This isn't blame., it's biology. A regulated adult physiologically transmits safety to a dysregulated child. When we increased our own emotional capacity, our children's difficult behaviours dramatically changed.
We're certified health coaches and members of the Royal Society of Medicine trained in ADHD coaching, EFT, IFS, somatic regulation and lifestyle medicine.
But the most powerful thing we bring to this work? We've lived it. Every painful moment.
