Feel It To Heal It

04/04/2026

When things go pear shaped, facilitating a family meeting can be a fantastic way for each person to feel heard.

A few key elements of such meetings are:

1. Use a talking stick. Only the person who has it gets to speak
2. Encourage "I feel" statements rather than blaming statements
3. Listen. Really listen.
4. Creatively problem solve together.
5. Asking "how can I help?"

Conflict resolution skills in a family help to create a dynamic where there is psychological safety for everyone in the family unit to express their needs and experience of the family.

When you implement conflict resolution, you become connected as a family on a deeper level. There's better understanding which in turn leads to less intense conflict.

As with all skills, this takes practice. If you're needing tools and tips in this area please reach out for a Counselling session! I would love to see how I can help.

Conflict resolution is an absolute must to adopt in family dynamics. It creates space for everyone to be heard and understood and actively role models how to resolve rather than avoid or simply move on with the problem only to resurface at a later date.

Communication is my jam and I love working with individuals and families around conflict resolving. If you need support, please reach out.

As parents we can interrupt or stop a conflict but resolving is a whole other step. It requires conscious communication, active listening and skills developed through practise.

If you're needing help with conflict resolution in your family, please reach out.

Listen to understand and to let your child find their way through challenge.

Ideally, they should be speaking more than you in the moments they are struggling.

Get curious! Seek to understand not to accuse.

Children often go into an emotional state where they make statements such as everything, no one, everybody, nothing.

Feelings are often fictional and its important as parents to practice listening without reactivity. Much of what is said in dysregulation actually isnt really what the issue is.

Loving constructive discipline is about guiding and role modelling.

When our children are showing us challenging behaviours, it's important we seek to understand and regulate them emotionally before we go to work through the challenging behaviour.

The behaviour is the result of something not the cause. When you seek to regulate them first, you teach them how to calm themselves. Repetition is the mother of skill. This will take practice.

If you'd like support, please reach out for a counselling kinesiology session.

Connecting with animals helps us to feel into joy and ramps up the feel good oxytocin in the body.

I know my dogs bring me a ton of joy!
