This is the second part of a two-part series that's all about healing reframes. I'll break down the final 3 helpful reframes, or mantras, that can change how you look at and navigate your healing journey.

In this episode, we’ll take a deeper look at how these reframes—originally shared in a parenting context—can be applied to all of us trying to live more regulated lives. Hit play for the full conversation.

Here's the 3 takeaways:

1. Firm but kind – Look for a moment today or this week to offer yourself the reflection of, “what would it look like in this moment to be firm, but kind with what I need to do right now?”
2. Find an anchor in the storm. – it’s not your job to fix your feelings but instead to find an anchor that allows you to make space for them. Reminder that next week I’ll be sharing with you a lesson I filmed a few years ago on emotional fitness and regulation.
3. Connect before correcting – how can you connect with the part of you engaging in a behavior you don’t love or that isn’t helpful before correcting. With another reminder that we’ll have a bigger change about our internal parts in a couple weeks.

Episode 73

Today’s conversation is a direct response to the following listener request:

"I am a parent to 4 young kids (one with special needs and another with some extra needs). I struggle immensely with keeping myself regulated and calm with their big emotions. I wondered if you might explore in further episodes about how to let go of the need for control as a parent and how that need for control influences feeling dysregulated when the kids are rough housing and noisy/chaotic. I struggle so much to just relax into parenting, I constantly try to control things to avoid big emotions and meltdowns. If you might also touch on the topic of hypervigilance and the need to control as a trauma response? I’d love to learn how we can sit with life happening without trying to micromanage it as a way to avoid something unexpected happening, kid meltdowns, chaos, etc…

I’m struggling so much with this right now as a mom, but really it’s been a theme for much longer than that. I realize the work ahead for me as I am learning your tools to regulate my nervous system."

What I'll share doesn't just apply to regulated parenting, but in how we all approach these things in our healing. Hit play for the full conversation!
