When You Lose It

What's really happening before you lose it, and what it costs when you do.

If you've ever lost your temper with your child and then felt the guilt settle in your chest like a stone, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

  1. We talk about what's actually happening in your brain and your child's brain in the moment of an explosion,

  2. Why the cultural pressure many Muslim mothers carry is not the same as what Islam actually asks of them, and

  3. A personal story about watching a child replicate exactly what he had just witnessed that changed everything about how I understood the real cost of losing it.

This episode accompanies this week's Monday essay, When You Lose It.
