Ep. 89: Facing Impossible Decisions Big & Small with Guest Laura Strohm

The Baffling Behavior Show {Parenting after Trauma}

Laura Strohm, LCSW is a therapist, colleague and dear friend. If you are in The Club or Being With, you already know Laura is my right hand everything. I asked Laura to come on the podcast to discuss a profound post she recently made in The Club Forum about impossible questions, impossible situations, and impossible decisions. You know, the kind of decisions and circumstances that those of you who are parenting kids with histories of trauma, kids with big, baffling behaviors, kids with vulnerable nervous systems, are facing constantly. Laura's words resonated so deeply for me and also for everybody in The Club, I really wanted to share this with as many humans as possible.

In this episode, Laura and I discuss

• What it really feels like to face impossible questions, situations and decisions
• How connection helps us anchor and tolerate the impossible, even when there are no right answers
• The quality of grief and gratitude that can arise in those moments
