PACE at its best…”I’ve noticed that you’ve been using a really loud voice, and if you’re trying to tell me that you’re angry with me.” “I’m a little confused. Usually you love going for a walk, but today you don’t want to go. I’m wondering what’s different about today”…

Xmas can be a gorgeous & magical time for some. Others don’t celebrate it & for some (it can be both &) it can be triggering, lonely, unsafe, & dysregulating-full of memory time holes, chains of pain, tricky family dynamics, loss, & more. Sending❤️& all else you need over this🕰

One of the most powerful aspects of tender self-compassion is the ability to hold our difficult emotions with spaciousness and warmth, so that we aren't so overwhelmed. 🙏🏾 #selfcompassion

If you reframe “complaining” and “whining” as connection-seeking and/or venting, they don’t feel as triggering. We can’t expect kids to process emotions as adults would. They’re not adults, they’re kids. They let their feelings out in kid-sized ways.
