    Hi, please create more videos on parenting kids as a trauma survivor. And also maybe, learning to trust, as that's obviously a huge issue for formerly abused parents. Thanks.

    I love your channel, it is so helpful! I have a question for myself: when we have every day a stressful thought about something, is it enough to just unhook every time, or we must find out what belive causes this thought, and how to change this belive, if nessessery? 46:43 46:43 Thank you so much in advance.

      Thank you for watching.
      When dealing with a recurring stressful thought, it can be beneficial to both unhook from the thought and explore the underlying beliefs causing it.
      Unhooking from Stressful Thoughts
      Unhooking is a technique where you recognize that a thought is just a thought, not a reflection of who you are. By unhooking from the thought, you can decide what to do with it and replace it with more encouraging and distress tolerant thoughts. This can be a helpful immediate strategy to manage distressing thoughts as they arise.
      Exploring Underlying Beliefs
      However, if a particular stressful thought keeps recurring, it might be indicative of an underlying belief or schema that needs to be addressed. These beliefs often stem from past experiences and can influence our current thoughts and reactions. By identifying and challenging these beliefs, you can start to change your automatic thought patterns.
      Changing Beliefs
      Changing these beliefs often requires mindfulness and effort. It involves evaluating whether these automatic thoughts and assumptions are accurate or perhaps biased. It's also important to assess whether these thoughts and reactions are a good use of energy or if they are unhelpful and wasteful. Developing the skills to notice, interrupt, and correct these biased thoughts independently is encouraged.
      In conclusion, while unhooking can provide immediate relief from distressing thoughts, exploring and addressing the underlying beliefs causing these thoughts can lead to more long-term changes and improvements in mental well-being.

    When you were a child, did you go by Dawn Elise or just Dawn? Dawn is such an easy name to spell. I thought your name was donna lise for a long time

    How about make a video for real life parents? I don’t mean this in a mean way. Most of us are working and have no choice. The rest of the time we have aging parents, doing their pill boxes after work, picking up McDonald’s on the way home from grandmas (or the ER..) -because the crockpot is still dirty - and trying to do homework on one of the 4 website our severely ADHD teen needs to do homework on, while we struggle to help a younger child grapple with dyslexia.
    I bought my 7 yr old a gratitude book to fill out at night to help her self esteem because she knows other kids are leaving her behind and she feels terrible.
    My teen got a stray kitten that has immensely helped his psychological conditions, but gave us ALL ring worms for months as we struggled to clear them from humans and all dogs alike.
    This is very narrow as far as the scope of what most parents are capable of now. It truly guilts parents who hear these things and just want to give up because we can’t even do half of this. Most women (and men) are swamped. Give the majority of busy real life parents some best scenario videos. All this other stuff “good” parents tend to know, they just can’t micromanage on this lvl.

      Thinking in extreme terms is very exhausting--- I have to do *all* of these things. I talk in many of my other videos about choosing *one* thing that you will do that is positive and letting that take effect, then choosing another thing. I too have kids, pets, family to take care of, a house to maintain, and I can't do everything. What I can do is start my morning mindfully and choose one thing I will do.
