Lesson Overview

1.30 – Managing Emotional Whiplash From a Traumatized Teen: Parenting trauma survivors feels like walking through sudden storms — calm one moment, fury the next. Emotional whiplash drains patience, but understanding patterns restores stability. Learn their trauma triggers and early cues: silence, pacing, or specific topics. Avoid debating memories; focus on present safety. Keep communication soft and predictable. Use grounding exercises together to reorient senses — breathing, counting, or naming colors. Separate your feelings from theirs so empathy doesn’t become exhaustion. Seek trauma-informed therapy for both of you to process secondary stress. Track progress, not perfection. Healing trauma requires consistency more than intensity. Each calm response rewires trust pathways that trauma once burned down. Patience becomes medicine stronger than any punishment could ever provide.
