When parents decrease accommodations for anxiety and OCD, our children can have big emotions and a fight, flight, freeze reaction, making it difficult for our own brain and nervous system. We can feel overwhelmed and find that putting down the ping-pong paddle (disengaging from arguments) and maintaining changes in accommodations is challenging.

In this compassionate and non-judgemental space, you will learn about:

• embodied practices for settling your brain and nervous system's stress responses

• accompanying your feelings of fear, overwhelm, guilt and frustration with compassion through experiential exercises

• steps to establish and follow-through on changes to accommodations

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a SPACE provider with advanced Emotion-Focused Family therapy and trauma training. For regulatory reasons, this group is only available to Canadian residents living in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

I hope you will join us,
