  • Summary

  • PDA most commonly stands for Pathological Demand Avoidance. But Dr. Casey Ehrlich prefers to call it Pervasive Drive for Autonomy or Protective Demand Avoidance. Today, Dr. Ehrlich unpacks why understanding PDA and nervous system responses starts with supporting children's drive for autonomy and equality.

    She and Dr. Emily also discuss the alarming issue of burnout in children, and the transformative power of play therapy in regulating emotions.

    If you're looking to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for neurodivergent children, this episode is a must listen.
