Pandemic Parenting: Shaping the Intolerable into Empowerment

The pressures parents face due to COVID can feel overwhelming. The limitations kids of all ages face right now can make them seem like monsters at times! What gives? It can seem like a never-ending cycle. Parents want relief, kids want and need safety and predictability.

Chi for Two®️ - the Energetic Dance of Healthy Relationship teaches therapists, helpers, parents and caregivers trauma-informed, body-based techniques on how to support themselves so they can offer safety and predictability to their kids.

Part of the Chi for Two practice involves mindfully connecting with those visceral urges that might initially seem like monstrous behaviors. When we know how to handle and channel the "intolerable," we can appreciate, play with and ultimately empower ourselves with the wild animal urges.

If you’re interested in learning and training with the Chi for Two team, check out info here about our next embodiment coach training starting in March 2022 as well as other offerings at chifortwo.com.

And, you might have an inkling that Chi for Two® sounds familiar to M-Bodied because of the trauma-sensitive, polyvagal-informed and attachment-based approach. That’s because with the help of her long-time Chi for Two co-developing and training under Dee Wagner, LPC, BC-DMT, Caroline created M-Bodied: Mindful Movement as Mothering Medicine™, a Chi for Two influenced body-based practice, to help deeply nourish and mother oneself. ⭐️
