Hello. Desperately need to look after me. Self care etc. How do I stop the fight or flight response in me?
Everything I’m reading is saying ‘go meditate’ or ‘go for a run’ which, whilst lovely sounding isn’t really practical in the face of a controlling/tantrumming/occasionally violent child or two.
Specifically, just right now, I had a child who would not stop doing something, I was calm, I was therapeutic, for ages even, then DC got up to run away and I was neither calm not therapeutic and my heart was racing and I was yelling.
How can I stop this?
