What is awareness and acceptance, and why are they essential for breaking generational cycles?
It's about having an an awareness and insight. But it's also having an acceptance of what happened that I can't change, which is really hard because people think if I'm accepting it. I'm saying it was okay. I'm like, no, you're just accepting it for what is, because you can't change it. And then you have to have this willingness to then move forward and say, okay, I don't like this history. I don't like this part of my development. I didn't like what I got for my family in this aspect, but I'm willing to change the narrative moving forward. So that way it stops with me, that this is no longer getting passed down.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber. And before I even introduce today's episode, I have to say happy anniversary. It is the sixth year anniversary of Tilt Parenting. And really, this is our anniversary because Tilt was created because of you. It's here for you and it has grown and blossomed with you. So I recently went back and read some of my notebooks from when I was first envisioning what Tilt could be. And I just wanted to share what I had written down my goal was in creating Tilt. I wrote I want people to feel empowered and in choice in how they parent, have more peace in their daily lives, and advocate for their children from a place of confidence so our children can thrive in every way.
I want differently wired children to be seen, embraced, and supported in a way that honors their unique way of experiencing the world. I want families with differently wired children to thrive, have options and feelings. feel more fulfilled, which means shifting the whole paradigm. I loved going back and reading that and realizing that nothing has really changed. That is still my goal. That is still what Tilt is all about. So thank you for being a part of this Tilt Revolution with me. Related to that, I wanted to share two quick things. First, just a few weeks ago, this podcast hit a major milestone of 4 million downloads. That's a big number. And it fills me with so much optimism, knowing that this show is reaching so many families and that it is actively working to shift that paradigm.
The other thing is that my book Differently Wired, which first came out in 2018, is also about to hit a big milestone regarding the number of copies out in the world. And I would really love your help in reaching that. So, first, if you have read Differently Wired and it's been a valuable resource for you, please take a few minutes and leave a review on Amazon. That really helps get the book visibility so people will find it. when they're searching for resources. And if you haven't read Differently Wired yet, I invite you to do so now. You can read it in paperback, you can download it on your Kindle, and you can also listen to it on Audible. So thank you again for celebrating this special sixth year anniversary with me.
I can't wait to see what we do together for Differently Wired kids around the world in the years to come. Okay, now I want to get to today's episode because it is one of those transformative conversations. We're going to be talking about trauma and generational cycles, and more specifically, how to break harmful cycles in our families. And my guest is someone I've been wanting to bring on the show for some time, Dr. Anne Louise Lockhart. Dr. Lockhart is the owner of a New Day Pediatric Psychology in San Antonio, Texas. She's a pediatric psychologist and parent coach for parents who have kids and teens with behavioral and emotional regulation concerns, those diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety, as well as kids who are highly sensitive.
Dr. Lockhart has spoken nationally at schools, conferences, podcasts, summits, and corporate workshops on topics such as ADHD, anxiety, and executive functioning. She's been featured in multiple publications, including ABC News, The New York Times, and The New York Post.
