Integrative Parenting Guide: Free Workshop for parents of neurodivergent kids
Cultivating Parental Peace with Emotional Freedom Technique: A gentle workshop for overwhelmed parents of neurodivergent, spirited, or sensitive children
Caring for differently wired and abled kiddos is no small feat. We’re busy doing so much for our kids (plus all the other life stuff!), we can easily forget to care for ourselves as deeply as we care for our kids. Feeling crispy, overwhelmed, and overworked, we find ourselves scrolling on our phones or using other distractions in an attempt to soothe the anxiety, disappointment, and exhaustion.
There’s no shame in using distractions to cope, and what would life be like if you didn’t have to distract as much? Instead you feel free to feel angry, disappointed, sad, anxious, depressed… because you know how to process those feelings in a loving and caring way? A way you can model and use with your kid’s intense feelings, too?
That’s what this free workshop is all about!
This small group workshop offers a calming space to learn a different way to care for and soothe yourself- especially in those moments when you need it the most. Best part? You’ll be learning with a circle of understanding parents who get it.
The group is designed to be a curious, non judgemental, down to earth container for learning how to cultivate more:
-Self compassion
-Patience
-Confidence
-Stress and anxiety relief
-Nervous system regulation
All through the use of Emotional Freedom Technique, a simple and evidence based practice that works to regulate the nervous system and shift narratives by gently tapping on acupuncture points and developing an attitude of self love and acceptance.
This workshop will cover the basics of EFT through an experiential approach, where we’ll practice the technique working with real-life examples, so you’ll leave feeling confident using this tool at home on your own.
Come as you are and leave with a practical tool! If this sounds like something you’re needing, I’d love to have you. This workshop is free, and will be hosted live, in-person at the Spirited Play Labs Berkeley location on Sunday, May 18th at 3pm-4pm. Sign up by filling out the Goggle forms here.
