An Emotion Regulation Course Designed for Parents

I’m so pleased to share with you the audio course I created  for parents - focusing on emotion regulation and presence. I wanted to create something specifically for parents because just as there are wonderful moments in parenting, so are there are also very difficult moments. And those difficult moments can deflate us.

I'll share the details here with you, and I hope you’ll check it out!

The course is titled A Heart-Centered Reset for Tired Parents, and it’s available on the Insight Timer App.

The course blends mindfulness, emotion regulation, attachment theory, and brain-based parenting, and it's designed for all parents, irrespective of your children's age. There are 6 lessons and 1 guided sleep meditation. Each lesson is approximately 20 minutes in duration, and includes:

Parenthood can be tough. And when things get tough, we can all use a bit of help. This course is about developing a healthy habit with emotion regulation so that you can handle the tough moments that come your way - it’s about rejuvenating you, the parent - so that you can re-discover, re-energize, and re-centre in the present moment.

When we approach the day with mindful awareness and the ability to settle strong emotion when it bubbles up, we are more present with others and experience greater ease in bravely showing up as our authentic self. 

If this sounds interesting to you, please give the course a go!
