260: Understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance with Casey Ehrlich, Ph.D., founder of At Peace Parents

If your child is extremely resistant to demands, you might have wondered if pathological demand avoidance–a nervous system dysregulation that results in intense resistance to demands and requests, could be at play. It’s commonly associated with autism, but it can also present with ADHD or anxiety disorders–and it is often considered its own neurological difference. This week on The Momwell Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Casey Ehrlich, founder of At Peace Parents , a platform dedicated to helping parents navigate PDA. We discuss what PDA is and how parents can reduce the battles and reframe their parenting approach.
