Episode 29 – The Hand Model of the Brain: Understanding Big Feelings Without Shame

In this episode of Holding Space with Julia, we explore Dr. Dan Siegel’s Hand Model of the Brain—a simple, powerful tool that helps children and adults understand what happens when big feelings take over.

Using real-life examples from homes, classrooms, relationships, and the playroom, this episode unpacks what it means to “flip our lid,” why it happens, and how shared language can transform moments of rupture into opportunities for repair.

This is an episode about co-regulation, compassion, and removing shame from emotional overwhelm. You’ll learn how to use the Hand Model to: • Understand behaviour as nervous system communication • Respond to big feelings without escalating or shutting down • Build emotional safety with children, teens, partners, and students • Support repair through presence rather than control

Whether you’re a parent, educator, therapist, or someone learning to be gentler with yourself, this episode offers a practical, body-based way to meet overwhelm with understanding—and guide the nervous system back toward connection.
