is the same gendered parent. What are you modeling? Are you modeling how to regulate emotions and using words that are expressive of your true feelings? The Anger is a secondary emotion. We have 4 basic emotions. Joy, Anxiety/Fear, Sandess, and Anger. Anger is a secondary emotion that is usually based in fear or sadness. How do you show your feelings that are the base of the iceberg of anger?
What a great BIP topic and class last night. Really good comments and discussions. Some guys are verbally sharing how they are practicing their new tools of emotional regulation and expression. It is a joy to watch and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve.
I am grateful for grocery pick up! I love not having to shop. It makes my day better to order and then pick up.
I am grateful for Ms Anne thinking of me at dinner time. She cooked and made me a to go plate since it was my late day at the office.
I am grateful this storm is not strong and will move through our area over the next three days.
I am grateful for this early quiet morning. Sounds are still just prior to sunrise. Though I am not normally awake and up at this hour, I am. I woke up and am so excited to be able to go to work. I have a lot to do for our community today. There are 50 people and counting needing to get started with their BIP program. I plan to call most of them today to touch base and provide encouragement and support. I am grateful for this morning's Coping Skills Group. 5 adults. 1 who thinks he is the only person in the group. A conversation will be had. One has complained about the other and this guy has to learn that group is about everyoke learning new skills, not just him. He may need individual therapy services for a bit to get a good baseline of regulation.
I am grateful yesterday was my Teens Group. We decided to change the name of it to Mindfulness Meetings. Perhaps more teens will come. I have 5 in the group and only one showing up. If they would just come once! I get it though. Teens and social anxiety is huge!!
I am grateful this afternoon is our face to face BIP group and I am looking forward to co facilitating this.
Coffee is up! Today, sober, strong, and grateful!
