  Inside The Consulting Room - Understanding the Child Behind the Behaviour

  Notice Me Before I Shout

  Oct 6, 202612 min

  Send us Fan Mail Shouting rarely starts at shouting. We’re talking about the moment before the volume rises, when a child makes a small, easily missed bid for connection and learns, over time, that quiet communication doesn’t work at home. Kim Lee, child and adolescent psychotherapist, opens this series with a clear theme: children need to feel noticed in the minds of the adults who care for them, not only responded to when things get loud. We unpack a pattern many families recognize: a child asks, waits, asks again, interrupts, then escalates, and everyone ends up irritated. From the parent side, it can look like impatience or “making a fuss.” From the child side, it can feel like being forgotten until they force attention. Kim challenges the loaded phrase “attention seeking” and offers a more useful frame for parenting and child behavior: attention needing. That shift keeps curiosity alive, supports emotional regulation, and helps you set boundaries while still staying connected. You’ll also hear about being “held in mind,” why some children test whether an adult still remembers or notices them, and why the quiet, “easy” child can be just as in need of attention as the one who shouts. We close with practical tools you can use today: responding to smaller bids, making your return specific, and doing quick repairs when you forget.

  Echoes

  Oct 4, 20262 min

  Send us Fan Mail Echoes don’t need a room to bounce around in. Sometimes they live in your head, repeating the same doubt, the same regret, the same “I’m fine” that doesn’t quite hold up under pressure. We lean into that uncomfortable space where you can feel the past still active in the present, and we ask the questions that people usually avoid: how did I get so far behind, why did I leave so fast, and why do I say the things I do? From there, we land on something both relieving and brutal: the truth is simple, but it isn’t always easy to accept. We talk about rumination, the inner critic, and the difference between self-reflection and self-punishment. If you care about mental health, personal growth, and better communication in relationships, this is the kind of short listen that can follow you around all day in a good way. Then the lens widens. The echoes don’t only come from inside you, they come from other mouths too. We dig into social narrative, reputation, and what happens when other people tell a different story than the one you’ve been telling yourself. That’s where accountability gets real: you can’t control every version of you that exists out there, but you can choose how you respond. We close with a gut-punch image of self-sabotage: thinking you hold all the cards while stacking the deck against yourself. If any of this hits close to home, listen, share it with someone who’s been living with echoes, and leave a review. What’s the echo you’re ready to stop replaying?

  So I Did

  Sep 26, 20264 min

  Send us Fan Mail “How good is your sleep?” That question is the thread we pull until everything unravels: the polished surface, the rotten underside, the stories someone tells to stay off the hook. We go straight at the people who take and take, the promise makers who pay you back with another lie, and the exhausting pattern of blame-shifting that leaves you doubting what you know you saw. If you’ve ever felt your chest tighten at night because the truth won’t stay quiet, you’ll feel every line of this one. We talk about what selective honesty looks like in real life, how control shows up as “truth” that only counts when it benefits the speaker, and why the room gets still while the memories get loud. This is a raw look at emotional manipulation, toxic relationship dynamics, and the moment you realize you’ve been living beside someone else’s sad life while your own self-worth disappears. The turning point isn’t dramatic, it’s decisive: getting up, turning your back, and refusing to be available for one more round. We also sit with the aftermath: the clarity that arrives when the lights go out, the way accountability follows people who “live between the cracks,” and the freedom of letting them think what they think while you protect your peace. The takeaway is simple and hard-earned: you can do better, you deserve better, and you’re allowed to leave without permission. If this hit home, subscribe for more, share the episode with someone who needs a clean boundary, and leave a review telling us what finally helped you choose better.

  When Behaviour Speaks

  Sep 18, 202614 min

  Send us Fan Mail A child rarely walks up and says, “I feel unsafe,” “I feel responsible for you,” or “I’m afraid you’ll leave.” More often, they show it and the message can look like defiance, aggression, anxiety, withdrawal, school refusal, sleep problems, or a sudden need to control everything. I’m Kim Lee, a child and adolescent psychotherapist, and this is the introduction to my series I Wish My Parents Would, built around one core idea: when words are too hard, behavior becomes the child’s voice. We start with the kinds of things children wish they could say to their parents: listen to me, notice me before I have to shout, stop calling me difficult, stop asking me to choose sides, love the child I actually am. I explain why kids go silent, how families can accidentally make certain truths “unwelcome,” and why what cannot be spoken still finds a way out through the body, play, relationships, and patterns that repeat. I also make something clear: children need boundaries and safety, but the most effective boundary comes with curiosity. Before asking “How do we stop this,” I want us to ask “What is this trying to tell us?” You’ll hear how meaning can emerge inside a steady, safe relationship, and why compliance is not the same as wellbeing when a child is simply hiding their distress. If you want practical insight into child behavior, emotional development, attachment, and what real listening looks like, come with me. Subscribe, share this with a parent or caregiver who needs it, and leave a review with the question you hope the series answers.
