  • How to Create Emotional Safety for Someone with Anxiety- Dealing with Anxiety in Children Part 2/4

    Take my free course Grounding Skills for Anxiety: Take me to the free course

    Get notified when the course for parents of anxious kids is ready: Sign me up

    Your job as a parent is not to protect your child from anxiety but to help them learn to be resilient so that they can be functional and healthy humans. To learn the skills to manage emotions and make good choices, not to just try to make anxiety go away. When you learn how to change your fundamental approach to anxiety, you can create a space for your kids to change their relationship to anxiety - so that they can be healthy, resilient, self-assured and functional. The really cool thing about humans is that we can face a lot of challenges, difficulties, trauma or hardship if we just have one thing: Emotional Safety. The number one thing that creates emotional safety is connection. Your relationship with them is like the protective cover of a greenhouse, it creates the environment where growth is possible.  Your connection provides warmth while they face challenges and grow.

    Do you ever have an intense emotional reaction that just seems disproportionate to the situation? Does some little thing set you off? And you can’t figure out why? Do you get anxious, a flash of anger, or an unexplainable feeling of fear? Or do you experience a feeling of “shut down”, exhaustion, or withdrawal?

    When we can’t figure out where these emotions are coming from, sometimes these feelings are related to childhood trauma or unresolved painful experiences from our past. In this video, you’ll learn 7 journaling prompts to help you explore how big emotions might be related to past trauma.

     Why do you procrastinate? Could it be Executive Functioning?

    Has this ever happened to you? You had some big decision to make or a task to complete? But you just kept putting it off because it felt overwhelming? When people are faced with a big, complex decision that they aren’t certain how to move forward with- it’s really common to avoid that task, delay, procrastinate or keep busy with other meaningless tasks. But this can lead to big consequences later- getting written up at work, failing a class, or missing out on big opportunities because you can’t figure out how to move forward.

    In this podcast, you’ll learn what executive functioning is, why it’s so essential to making decisions and processing emotions, and 5 ways you can improve your executive functioning skills.

  • Dissociation, Depersonalisation, and Derealization - How to come back when you dissociate.

    FREE Grounding Skills Course here: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/grounding-skills-for-anxiety-stress-and-ptsd

    Do you ever feel numb? Detached? Like you’re completely separate from your body or like you’re floating above it, watching yourself like you aren’t even real? Or does the world around you sometimes feel foggy? Dreamlike? Or like time is moving super fast or super slowly? These are all signs of dissociation, derealization, or depersonalization. These three terms all have some overlap in symptoms. 

    In this podcast, you’ll learn to identify the triggers and internal signs leading up to dissociation and when you have a framework to understand why dissociation happens, then you can be more gentle with yourself and learn skills to manage overwhelming situations more adaptively and flexibly and be more resilient. I have worked with many clients who’ve experienced dissociation or depersonalization.

  • Emotional Eating - How to Replace Emotional Eating with Emotion Processing and Intuitive Eating

    Learn how to process emotions in my online course: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/emotion-processing

    Emotional eating is when you eat in an attempt to resolve emotions instead of eating to resolve hunger. But when people are asking "How to stop emotional eating? The first step is to learn to process emotions and listen to what your body is really asking for - aka intuitive eating. Most of the time, when we’re overeating, or under-eating, it’s because we’re seeking to regulate our emotions with food, instead of regulating our emotions by processing them. So the first step is to ask yourself “Why am I eating this? You don’t need to judge yourself for doing it, just get curious. If I’m eating and it's not because of hunger, what am I feeling?
