1 Minute Teaser of My Anxiety SOS Talk: Cherished Memory Meditation

I’m writing today to remind you about the Anxiety SOS Summit. Penny, the host, lives in Asheville, and her family has had a hell of a week due to the hurricane.

But she’s pulled it together and is ready to go!

You’re going to get so much from this summit that will have a lasting impact on your parenting and on your own mental health. Even if you listen while going about your day, something will sink in - and that something could be life-changing.

In my workshop you'll discover the transformative power of somatic exercises tailored to help you and your child navigate anxiety as it emerges.

The visualization above is a tiny taste of a talk packed with mindset and body-based strategies I’ve developed over decades of supporting parents. Don’t miss it!

A slide from my Somatic Exercises Anxiety SOS Summit workshop.

With a trauma-informed approach, I’ll guide you through a series of gentle yet effective body-based practices designed to ground your nervous system and cultivate a sense of peace within your family.

Three Specific, Valuable Takeaways:

1. Practical, Quick Grounding Techniques: Learn fast and straightforward exercises that you can easily integrate into the busiest of days to release accumulated anxious energy.

2. Self-Empathy and Emotional Attunement: Discover the importance of tuning in to your own feelings and needs first through daily self-empathy practices, which empower you to offer authentic emotional support to your child.

3. Playful Somatic Activities for Kids: Engage your child in light-hearted, body-based activities like “ice cream breath” that not only help manage their anxiety but also build positive neural connections through the joyful lens of play.

By embedding these practices into your daily routines, you will not only enhance your own emotional resilience but also model calming behaviors for your child. Imagine them feeling safe in the security of your grounded presence, learning to navigate their anxiety with tools they see working in you.

The question I get a lot: Isn’t this supposed to be about my kid?

Warning: This workshop isn't about changing your child; it’s about accepting and understanding them. Create a nurturing environment where both you and your child can thrive together, and anxiety will be replaced by safety and connection.
