Understanding PDA : When demands feel like a threat
Why can the simplest requests trigger avoidance, shutdown, negotiation or an explosive reaction?
In this talk, we explore PDA through the lens of the nervous system — looking at autonomy, anxiety, sensory overwhelm, expectations, past experiences and the fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses.
Designed for parents who want to understand what’s happening beneath the behaviour and homeopaths who want to understand the child behind the diagnosis.
