FREE Video Series with Tara Brach: One Powerful Question to Overcome Fear

NICABM is offering a FREE short video series with Tara Brach, an expert in mindfulness and radical acceptance.  Robyn Gobbel, LCSW is eager to share this with each of you parenting children that are struggling with post institutional trauma related behaviors.  Robyn, and by proxy Hopscotch Adoptions, trusts NICABM and value the work Tara Brach is doing for so many families.  Tara’s work is so applicable to those of us loving and caring for people struggling with the impact of traumatic and toxic stress.  This is labor intensive, overwhelming, and at times baffling work.  As parents, we must be diligent in finding ways to hold onto our grounded regulation.

Tara Brach shares the third and perhaps most crucial part of her 3-part workshop on managing the fear that’s controlling our lives.

Here’s a look at what she’ll cover:

• One critical question that can help you shift out of a paralysis of fear
• How fear stays in control (and how to undo it)
• Why some people are better than others at escaping a fear mindset
• The two-part combo that creates a limiting fear belief (and most of us have this)
• Why neuroplasticity may be key to de-conditioning fear
• One practice that can break a self-perpetuating fear loop
• How the inner critic works with the body to make our fears seem real
• Why trance-like thinking often fuels a fear response
• One powerful phrase that can weaken self-doubt linked to fear
• A simple strategy to disrupt a negative fear-reactivity cycle

This is Tara’s latest thinking on working with fear. It’s completely free but it’s going away soon, so go ahead and check it out now.

P.S Remember, as long as your register by the time the webinar goes live on Wednesday, you'll receive lifetime and unlimited access to the recording of the webinar!!

Lots of fun stuff brewing on the horizon, but the most immediate opportunity is Robyn’s next online guest-presenter webinar with Jessica Schaffer, Nervous System Health Educator.  Robyn met Jessica through mutual colleagues and immediately fell in love with the work she is doing. Practical, accessible, and based in science, she is teaching exactly what want parents need to receive. In "Nervous System Know-How: Why Your Nervous System is your most Effective Parenting Tool" Jessica will teach you real things to do to help you hang onto your regulation in the face of difficult, stressful, and maybe even scary parenting moments.  Because without a doubt, you are more likely to help your child move toward the behavior you desire, if YOU can keep your cool!!!

AND Jessica is offering a great handout that will help you implement what she teaches.

This webinar is designed for parents but really, it will benefit any human who interacts with other humans who can sometimes be stressful, annoying, or frustrating.  And since all humans are those things...well...I guess this webinar is for everyone :)
