Julie Larson

Julie Larson writes practical, trauma-informed parenting resources for families navigating big emotions, arguments, and the daily challenges that can come with raising children who have experienced stress or trauma.

Her work focuses on helping parents understand behavior through the lens of stress rather than shame, while offering steady, realistic tools for de-escalation, connection, and repair.

Julie is the author of Holding Steady: A Parent’s Guide to Navigating Trauma, Emotional Outbursts, and Challenging Behavior with Compassion.

Through the Holding Steady framework, she is developing community-based support programs designed to help parents feel less alone and more confident when parenting something hard.
