<p>Autistic pattern loops trapping you? Dr. Tony Iezzi (35+ years clinical psychologist, <em>Reenactments</em> co-author) shares: From Vietnam vets to ND challenges, his therapy framework—awareness (spot themes like rejection/abandonment), regulate physiology (walks/music to calm revved systems), and interrupt habits (new actions over rage/stewing)—breaks unconscious reenactments from childhood chaos. For autistic/ADHD young adults reacting to environments, parents modeling reflection, or allies fostering tools, this convo's your toolkit—journaling for insight, themes over events ("Treat sensitivities, not specifics").</p><p>Timestamps:</p><p> 0:00 - Intro: Tony's Trauma/Chronic Pain Expertise</p><p> 0:11 - Patterns in Everyday Life &amp; ND</p><p> 1:11 - Awareness: Spot Unconscious Habits</p><p> 2:55 - Childhood Roots &amp; Physiology Revving</p><p> 5:20 - Interrupting Loops: First Steps</p><p> 8:00 - Themes (Abandonment/Rejection/Bullying)</p><p> 11:19 - Reenactment Therapy for Sensitivities</p><p> 14:23 - Parents Changing First to Help Kids</p><p> 17:26 - Vietnam Vets: Pre-Existing Mess</p><p> 20:53 - Society's Harshness on Differences</p><p> 23:36 - Signs of Breaking Reenactments</p><p> 26:19 - Journaling: Reflect to Refine</p><p> 29:55 - Tailor to Physiology (Autism/ADD)</p><p> 32:40 - Power Dynamic in Parenting</p><p> 35:49 - Risks &amp; Young Adult Transitions</p><p> 38:58 - Mutual Respect: Consultant, Not Authority</p><p> 42:14 - Village Support &amp; Falling/Failing</p><p> 45:38 - Where to Find Tony (Site/Book)</p><p>Subscribe on Apple/Spotify for weekly neurodivergent adulting tools—rate/review if patterns clicked!

Dr. Tony Iezzi unpacks 35+ years treating pain/trauma: <em>Reenactments</em> framework—awareness (unconscious habits from childhood), physiology regulation (walks/music for revved ND systems), theme targeting (abandonment/rejection/bullying over events)—breaks loops for better quality of life. ND applications: Physiology caps (autism/ADD at 100% = no problem-solving), environments amplify sensitivities (dysregulated homes = harder coping). For late-dx young adults reacting automatically, parents interrupting cycles (change adult first), or OTs modeling reflection/journaling, Tony's "themes repeat across situations—target them" flips reactivity to strategy.
