IPF Meditation On Emotional Soothing & Co-Regulation

Emotional Soothing is one of the most vital pieces of secure attachment. In this practice, you’ll imagine your ideal parents comforting you when you feel sad, scared, or upset.

A dog barking, you scraped your knee, you heard a loud noise, or you’re just generally in a bad mood, feeling sad or upset. Or anything else that is mildly upsetting, but not too triggering.
