Calm Me, Calm You
A 6 week group for parents and carers to learn about regulation with experienced trauma-informed therapists.
We know that if the parent/carer is stressed or their “tank is empty” it can be extremely difficult to positively support a child’s emotional wellbeing.
Working with Beth from Geelong Meditation Centre and Sarah from OKAY therapy you will learn:
👌A variety of simple and practical strategies for self-regulation and emotional regulation.
👌Mindful movements for stress release.
👌The principles of mindfulness and meditation with simple and achievable ways of integrating these into your daily life - some meditations taking less than a minute to do!
👌The theory and practical application of self-compassion (i.e. being a friend to yourself and treating yourself with kindness and encouragement) during and after a difficult experience with your child.
👌Actionable strategies that can support co-regulation with your child.
