Ep. 6 - What is a "Cognitive Loop" for a PDA Child or Teen?

This brief episode explains what a "cognitive loop" is for a PDA child or teen, when they get stuck between their frontal lobe ("thinking brain") and their amygdala ("survival brain"). This is often when a child is experiencing an *internal* loss of autonomy because they can't do something they want or are trying to do. I provide exampes from my son's life, for example, on a ninja course and playing a video game.
