Repairing Emotional Distress: Changing Narratives and Creating Connection
Repairing emotional distress involves two steps. The first step is to repair with oneself by accessing qualities of compassion, understanding, and groundedness within oneself. Self-repair requires separating one's identity from their behavior and acknowledging that negative behavior doesn't define their identity. This self-repair process enables a shift from self-blame to self-trust and readiness for change. The second step involves repairing the relationship with the child by acknowledging the negative behavior, taking responsibility, and expressing a commitment to behave differently in the future. This process fosters a sense of self-trust, safety, and connection within the child, and it can have a significant long-term impact.
