Welcome to another insightful episode of "Friends & Family Guide to Speech Therapy & ADHD Coaching" by Illuminate Family Workshop. In this episode, Treisha Wan welcomes Dr. Alaina Puff, a distinguished school psychologist and intuitive coach based in Phoenix, specializing in highly intuitive children.
Discover the world of Flow State Coaching & Consulting and unravel the challenges faced by highly intuitive kids in our modern mental health system. Dr. Puff shares a free resource - a highly intuitive quiz for kids and adults - available on flowstateaz.com.
Explore the characteristics of highly intuitive children and the support they need when struggling. Gain valuable insights into when parents typically seek help and the limitations of private practices within insurance compliance models.
Join us for a deep dive into reframing emotions, addressing guilt, and the courage it takes to ask for help. Dr. Puff shares client stories, highlighting the transformative power of being seen and the beautiful opportunity for inter-generational healing.
As we wrap up, reflect on the courage it takes to seek help, reprogram the way you were raised, and the healing that happens within a supportive community. Don't miss this empowering conversation that aims to unlock potential and promote growth in every child.
Quotes from our guest, Dr. Alaina Puff:
“Our modern system of mental health is failing this subset of kids [highly intuitive kids] in a lot of ways. And failing their families as well, as far as giving them support and resources.”
“The interesting thing about intuition is that it’s highly heritable. Meaning if you have a child that you’re perceiving to be highly intuitive, it’s likely you are too.”
“They have big ideas, developmentally advanced from where we would expect them to be and they also felt things so deeply. For young people this can cause a lot of distress because they are still learning how to regulate their emotions.
“Flow State was born out of the intention of not only preventative intervention but from strengths based approach. There’s nothing wrong with your child. They may be struggling in some areas that they need support in and that’s okay. I think we can all identify with that to some degree.”
