Developmental Stages in…Adults!

Parenting Our Future - A podcast by Robbin McManne

You read that right! Too often we thing when we struggle, have stress and anxiety, there is something WRONG with us! That we might have a mental illness…but what if it was actually something else entirely?Dr. Sasha Heinz is not only BRILLIANT, she will help you seethings in a completely different way! We start out by talking aboutself-compassion, but we quickly turn into a conversation like I’ve never hadbefore. I’ll be forever changed from it. Dr. Heinz talks about how we, as women, as moms, are socializedto prioritize other's needs - ok, nothing new here…but she goes on to talkabout how when we feel threatened, we revert back to our survival instincts offight or flight BUT women, move into “tend and befriend”. It’s acompletely different way of responding to stress than men. Here’s the best part! We can evolve past this! We are juststuck in a developmental stage as adults and with some internal work, we can befree of these disempowering behaviors! We can become people who considerothers' opinions but aren’t ruled by them.  There is so much more in this episode I know you’ll love! Icould have talked to her for hours! For Dr.Heinz’s handout, “How to Say NO Without Being a Jerk”, you can download it fromthe Parent Toolbox. www.parent-toolbox.comAbout Dr.Sasha HeinzDr. Sasha Heinz, Ph.D., MAPP, is an academic who wentmainstream, using her background as a developmental psychologist to become amindset coach who teaches people the science of getting unstuck.
