Mindmarrow Counseling, PLLC

I made a meltdown map for parents and while it serves the kid population, I know many of my clients are adults and have meltdowns too. Especially those of us wired differently in a society that is often hard to navigate. The key formula is to connect with the body first (soothe), then problem solve. When we try to problem solve while emotionally dysregulated is usually ends in a most unusual and unhelpful manner. So while this is written for parent with a child, you can do the same actions for yourself when you are having a meltdown – bonus points if you have kids as you can model what it looks like to self soothe and regulate in healthy ways.
