Regulating Our Emotions as Parents with Alissa Jerud, PhD

Parenting brings love, joy and plenty of emotional challenges. In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Alissa Jerud explores how parents can better understand and regulate their emotions instead of getting stuck in cycles of frustration, anxiety, or control. Drawing on exposure therapy, DBT skills, and her Emotion-Savvy Parenting approach, Dr. Jerud introduces practical tools: the ART framework (Accept, Regulate, Tolerate) to help parents stay grounded during emotional storms.

Whether it’s managing anxiety, tolerating distress, or responding more calmly to your kids, this conversation is full of evidence-based strategies for building resilience, deepening connection, and showing up as the parent you want to be.
