An important reminder right now 🤍

🌍 In an unpredictable world, children’s nervous systems are constantly taking in change, noise, and uncertainty.

💕 When the outside world feels unstable, attachment becomes what holds them steady.

This isn’t about comfort or dependence.
It’s about regulation and survival.

This is why children cling more during times of stress.
Why familiar routines matter more.
Why connection calms faster than control.

Attachment isn’t weakness.
It’s the steady anchor that helps children weather an unsteady world.

Have you ever had scary thoughts pop into your head that you just couldn't stop thinking about?

They're called intrusive thoughts, and they are distressing, repetitive and unwanted. They can be triggered by big life changes or mental health issues.

NPR's senior visuals producer LA Johnson, who struggled with these thoughts after giving birth to her second child, talks to mental health professionals about how to manage them. She illustrates her experience and the expert advice in a comic: https://n.pr/4mLaf9q

Restoring Balance:
Sleep is a vital component of our overall well-being. Join us in this group to gain practical insights in improving your sleep patterns, recharging your energy, and achieving more restful sleep. Explore relaxation techniques to ease your mind before bedtime and promote a calm sleep environment. 🛌 😴

Self-Compassion:
In this session, we will focus on cultivating mindfulness and self-kindness through exercises from Dr. Kristin Neff’s Mindfulness Self-Compassion workbook. Through guided exercises, we will practice recognizing moments of struggle and responding to ourselves with understanding and care, rather than self-criticism 🤍
