Join us for an insightful conversation with Kristin Cogan, a seasoned therapist and coach, as we explore the critical coping skills every overwhelmed mom needs. We understand the pressures you face, from navigating family court to co-parenting with a difficult ex, and Kristin is here to help. Discover the importance of celebrating small wins and managing overwhelming stress, which can easily become a lifestyle. Kristin introduces the "54321" grounding technique, a powerful tool designed to help you reconnect with your body and reduce anxiety by focusing on the present moment. By identifying things you can see, touch, hear, smell, and taste, this method can shift your nervous system from distress to a state of calmness.
Listen in as we also uncover empowering techniques for emotional regulation in high-stress situations involving an ex or an anxious child. Kristin emphasizes the significance of creating emotional distance by taking intentional pauses before responding to triggering communications. Through affirmations and small actions, we can retrain our brains and provide grounding for ourselves. We also discuss the impact of parental anxiety on children and the importance of breaking intergenerational cycles of stress. Self-care is paramount, as parents often prioritize their children's needs over their own. By committing to the hard work of managing emotions, parents can better support their children and foster healthier family dynamics.
