SUMMARY:Emotion Regulation - Deepening Our Understanding - Special Live FamilySmart Event (online)
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever found yourself looking at your child’s emotional outburst and thinking\, “What the heck is happening?” or “This doesn’t make any sense\,” or “What on earth are they so upset about – it’s not that big a deal?”  If so\, you are certainly not alone!  Many parents describe feeling as though they’re walking on eggshells or avoiding taking their children out in fear of an emotional ‘meltdown’ which can be embarrassing\, upsetting\, and can lead to some pretty big emotions for the grown ups as well. \nIf this sounds like you\, or like someone you care about\, please join us for an evening filled with information about what can lead to big emotions and for some concrete strategies for responding skillfully to those situations.  Nicole will join us live on Zoom to lead us through an evening of learning which will expand upon some key points including: \n\nUnderstanding emotion dysregulation as a skills deficit\, and identifying strategies to grow those skills.\nHow to anticipate when big emotions will occur\, and exploring specific skills for responding to it.\nUnderstanding how the principle of attunement can be a roadmap for finding solutions that will work for you and your family.\nHoping for the best\, planning for the worst – so that everyone knows what to expect.\nHow to repair the relationship when it’s all gone wrong.\n\nPlease join us live online for an evening filled with information\, reflection\, and no doubt a good amount of laughter as well. \nSpeaker: Nicole Allen is a Registered Clinical Counsellor\, mom\, wife and dog lover who\, over the past decade\, has worked with young people and their caregivers to build relationships and emotion regulation strategies\, especially in times of mental health crisis. Nicole has private practices in Abbotsford and Fort Langley. \nThis event will be hosted on Zoom. \nThe presentation will begin at 6:30 pm and end at 8 pm Pacific Time. \nPlease note: The event is free.  Registration is required and limited. \nRegister here.
