Lifecrafting by Inga Larson

You know the loop.

It’s your lunch break.
Or 3:00 in the morning.

And that argument with your teen is still running.

What you said.
What they said.
What you should have said.

Trying to figure out:

“Was I wrong?”
“Were they wrong?”
“Did I handle this right?”

If this feels familiar, you’re not weak—and you’re not overthinking.

You may be activated.

Because for many poorly parented adults, being wrong wasn’t just uncomfortable.

It meant:
disconnection,
shame,
loss of safety.

So your nervous system keeps searching for a verdict.

But parenting isn’t a courtroom.

There isn’t always a clean resolution.

Sometimes relationships stay unfinished for a while.

In this video, I talk about:
• why arguments replay endlessly in your mind
• how emotional activation disguises itself as problem-solving
• why your body—not just your thoughts—needs attention
• and simple ways to shift from looping into settling

Because often the peace you’re looking for…

doesn’t come from thinking harder.

It comes from helping your body believe:

“It’s over.”

If this resonates, and you’d like support creating a calmer, more connected relationship with your teen (without losing yourself in the process), I’d love to connect. Just type "connect" in a DM or the comments below and I'll send the next step.

Parents, Are You Authoritative…Or Authoritarian?

As a parent, you love your child. And you are drivin by the need to protect, to hold on, to maintain their attention. Yet your Teen also has a powerful drive of their own: to individuate, to be less attached to you, and instead spread their social wings...to friends and adult mentors.

Especially if you were poorly raised yourself, you may also experience anxious attachment, leaving your need to maintain the connection you once had, turbo-charged.

How you navigate this turbulent dynamic can either lead to a new kind of connection with your teen, or losing it
