Understanding Emotions

Imagine this

Your child drops to the floor in the middle of the shopping Centre, screaming and thrashing around. You dared say “No” to that treat.

Everyone is looking. Feeling fearful of judgement. Shame at your parenting skills. Embarrassment washes over you.

Your partner walks in the door from work, they look annoyed, agitated, they greet you flatly.

You feel annoyance wash over you and you stiffen up.

Now, imagine these same scenarios play out, however, you have learnt skills to separate your emotions from your child’s, your partners and you understand what your emotions are telling you.

You neutralise, and now you are free to handle the situation without being triggered.
