Ep. 31 - Why is “no” so triggering?
There is something about the word “no” that lights up our nervous system and sets us off! And when we are set off and operating from our reactive center, our emotional center, the part of ourselves that relies on learned coping behaviors, we are entering into a power struggle and we’ve lost the chance to teach a skill. I’m always looking for moments to be more efficient in my parenting. Places where I can heal a bit of myself and impart a skill. In this episode I break down ways to look at the word “no” differently. I offer you mindset shifts and ways to teach this very essential communication skill to your children.
