Week 5 Mindfulness For Parents & Carers - Taking Care Of Difficult Emotions

In this practice, we learn how to turn towards difficult emotions rather than resist them or deny their presence. Our kindness and compassion arise from our recognition that the emotion is present. We allow it to be there and offer ourselves words and gestures of care and compassion. When practised regularly, we begin to see real shifts in how we relate to difficulty. We become more empowered and more able to step out of our normal habits of reactivity and choose wiser responses.
