What causes us to shut down?

Slowing down to see what's there vs. labeling things as wrong, rejecting parts of ourselves or shutting ourselves down.

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." -Viktor Frankl

Reacting vs. responding skillfully or responding as we would choose

What drives our reactions?

habits, conditioning, trauma, fear

What's going on with me at times when I am triggered and not able to hold space for my child(ren)?

If I have more clarity about what's happening inside me, I have more sensitivity to what may be happening for another and able to engage from that more sensitive place.
