I'm very excited to be running a Zoom mindfulness course for parents starting on November 2nd. The course will be 8 weeks long, on Tuesday evenings (6:30-9pm). I am co-teaching with Claire Louise from Mindful Parenting & Community Project.
This course can support you to reduce your stress and stressed out parenting patterns, improve emotional regulation, connection and relationships within the family.
A Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course for parents and carers, which looks at how we deal with the stress and worry which comes from being in the role of a parent or carer. This eight-week course allows parents to notice how we habitually react when under stress and then how mindfulness-based practices can help us learn how to regulate our emotions, including the stress reaction. Therefore, we become more able to pause, soften, connect with our breath and be in the moment with whatever is here and respond more calmly and appropriately.
Evidence shows that when under stress, parenting skills are found to collapse. With Mindfulness for Parents, the parents’ own stress and suffering, is the primary focus of the training rather than the problem behaviour of the child.
Mindfulness for Parents/Carers supports us through:
Reducing stress
Reducing harmful intergenerational patterns of stressed out parenting
Improving affect of emotional regulation
Improving family communication and relationships
The cost is £220 (waged) £180 (unwaged) and includes an orientation session, the 8 week course, a retreat day (face to face) and handouts. Payment plan available.
