A Step-by-Step Guide To Help Parents Develop Self-Compassion
Why you should turn towards your crappy feelings when all you want to do is numb out.
5 Self-Compassion Questions for Parents:
1. “Who in my life allows me to feel held?”
2. “What am I struggling with that no one would know by looking at me?”
3. “What am I trying not to feel?”
4. “Where do I feel it in my body?”
5. “What would I say to my close friend if they were feeling this way?”
Finally, simply pause. Pause and receive the words and the internal sense of comfort. Stay present in the moment without doing anything. Trust that all will be well if you stop doing all the parenting things long enough to soak up some self-compassion.
