Practice Tools Before You Need Them

In this episode, I share why it’s so important to practice tools ahead of time—especially practicing feeling safe when you actually are safe—so you can access that state more automatically when you’re triggered. I briefly introduce the “safety sequence” with three questions: Am I safe? Do I feel safe? Is my body relaxed? I talk about how parents of children on the spectrum may sometimes not be safe and often do not feel safe, especially with aggresive or self-injurious situations. For you it is even more important to practice these tools! I also recommend Finding Joy in the Journey episode 231, “The Power of Love Over Fear.” Sign up for my Very Awesome Friends Newsletter - by clicking here.
