Take Care of Me - How to Soothe Your Difficult Feelings in the Relationship with Your Child — a Workshop for Parents

About the event

Every parent experiences many difficult feelings in the relationship with their child. Anger, anxiety, fear may arise… sometimes these feelings are so strong that you cannot control them. In the workshop, in a safe, nonjudgmental atmosphere, we will create space to share what is hard. You will learn where these strong reactions come from. We will show you how to take care of yourself and soothe yourself. In the second part we will pause on the child’s perspective, reach their needs and feelings so that they are seen. Looking at the two of you, we will search for what is between you — an obstacle and a resource for understanding. The workshop is conducted using focusing — you do not need to know it. Focusing, that is, turning attention to your own experience, is a natural way of contacting feelings, and using it gives greater freedom and confidence in the decisions and relationships you make. We work on our own experience, in a safe atmosphere, without judging or criticizing. Difficult behaviours and feelings of the child — how to handle them better?
