Angry Mom's Guide to Self-Regulation: A Mind-Body Approach to Managing Your Emotions

Few adults learned how to regulate their emotions as children, and therefore, few mothers enter into their new role with the skill of self-regulation. The traditional approach to parenting has unintentionally taught generations of children to shut down their emotions and disconnect from their bodies. Those children have grown to become loving parents overwhelmed by dysregulated nervous systems, often finding themselves in a cycle of reactive behaviors, guilt and shame. In The Angry Mom's Guide to Self-Regulation, Emilie provides mindful reflections and accessible action steps that help readers identify their individual triggers, increase body awareness, and create a personalized practice of nervous system regulation. Whether you're a parent or not, If you are desperate to break free from your reactive default mode and begin living in alignment with your values, this is the book for you.
