The goal here is the calming of the system. It's about you coming at it cleanly and not dumping anything on the other person.
Ever feel like your emotions are running the show, especially when dealing with a loved one's addiction? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', Linda Aber returns to share practical tools to help you regain control and find calm. Linda, an expert in attachment parenting and certified in various therapeutic methods, dives into techniques for calming the parasympathetic nervous system.
With hosts Laurie McDougall, Kayla Solomon, and Dominique Simone-Levine guiding the conversation, you'll learn about grounding practices, positive visualization, and the HeartMath® Method to manage stress and emotions effectively. Linda's journey into psychology took a personal turn when she adopted two children from Russian orphanages. Her experiences have shaped her unique approach to emotional regulation and family dynamics. In this episode, she emphasizes the importance of approaching difficult situations 'cleanly'—without letting your emotions spill over onto others.
This perspective is crucial for anyone navigating the complexities of addiction within a family. You'll hear about the power of grounding and containment, which can help you stay centered during chaotic times. Positive visualization techniques offer a way to shift your mindset and foster a sense of calm. And with the HeartMath® Method, you'll discover how regulating your heart rate variability can lead to better emotional control and resilience.
Whether you're a parent, partner, or friend supporting someone through addiction, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable strategies to help you maintain your own well-being. Tune in to 'Coming Up for Air' and equip yourself with the tools to navigate these challenging waters with greater ease and compassion.
