Understanding and Managing Anger and dog/child care – Part 6

Hey coach, yeah i totally did cut myself off by clicking send accidentally! But I realised I got the gist across anyway and any more typing would have been faff, so it worked for the best 😉

It helps to hear you say that i don’t have to be totally zen all the time/ in the face of a barking dog overwhelming me! I think thoughts that would help me to calm / regulate myself first before engaging with the dog again are:

Wow that it loud.
I’m overstimulated right now.
This is overwhelming.

Which would take me to actions to deal with that eg. i would get my ear plugs, or create a distraction for the dog, or close curtains if outside is what is making the dog bark.

 

 

Answer:

Yes! So interesting how when we give ourselves permission to be a human, we open up so many answers.  Keep loving and supporting yourself. Keep listening to what you need. As you move forward with this, what energy, what emotion do you want to come from?
