My Gestalt practice

Family Dynamics

Family gatherings can surface old dynamics and unresolved tensions. Gestalt psychotherapy encourages awareness of how you show up in these situations. Are you repeating old patterns? Can you pause, breathe, and choose differently? This season, try responding instead of reacting.

Parents out there who struggle raising your young kids:
Remain calm.
Teach them how to express their emotions.
Remember that they are still learning to understand what they feel.
Help them to be more independent and autonomous by giving them tasks to do and giving them choices.
Listen to what they are trying to tell you when they throw a tantrum. Are they ill? Are they stressed ? Are they hungry or tired?
Teach them to cope with their ”big emotions” by giving them tools to calm themselves down.
Keep up the good work !😉😀
