@faithyvcarter: I have a confession…I use to punch holes in my walls. 🫣 Yup. When my son was exactly my daughter’s age I would go from 0 to 100 with no idea how to process the intense deregulation I would feel…then POP 💥 which only disregulated him even more. Now 5 years later, my daughter is at the exact same stage he was and guess what? Those very same feelings bubble up inside me… BUT I am learning to use tools 🛠️ that I did not have before… When a gazelle escapes being chased by a lion its body shakes for 1-2 minutes, then it is able to go right back into grazing, with no residual stress from the situation that it just experienced. Dancing, moving and shaking our bodies feels silly, especially when we’ve been tight, clenched and locked up all day (that’s me🙋🏻‍♀️). But it not just releases feel good hormones in your brain, when YOU are dancing, playing and regulating your own nervous system it is CONTAGIOUS and will regulate theirs. #emotionalregulation #dance #somatics #parenting #coregulating
