Your Why
Your why isn’t about their why or how they got there…
Rather it’s the Why of your response.
Often there are a range to whys for not being centred in a storm. These can include:
- Social judgement.
- Feeling like a failure as a parent.
- Wanting your child to be happy.
- A sense of unpreparedness on how to deal with the emotions well, so wanting the storm to pass.
- Past trauma from how emotions were dealt with when you were little. (ie, how your parents dealt with your tantrums.)
