Trigger warning: we are talking about triggers this week!
The things that just send us into fight or flight, rage, withdrawal and/or have the ability to make us feel about 5 years old in our own emotional responses.
Ali and Mollie share some of their own personal triggers in motherhood: not feeling listened to, being over stimulated, feeling embarrassed by our children's behavior. We discuss our own shame both as adults and the shame we felt as children and the ways that we are trying to do things differently.
This week we remind ourselves that we are "playing the long game". We talk about how we are not trying to shame our children into submission and compliance; that we are focusing on the relationships, and because of that, it takes time.
