Donna Jackson Nakazawa will guide participants through a series of neuroscience-based guided writing experiences, from her new book, The Adverse Childhood Experiences Guided Journal. Studies show if we've faced challenging life experiences it can change our set point for well being and make it harder for us to stay calm when the children we care for are struggling. Feeling dysregulated, being stuck on high alert, a lack of self-compassion, all of these require us, as caregivers, to do the courageous work of attending to our own healing. Putting thoughts on paper in a curated, science-based step by step way can help us to identify and adopt new ways of responding to stress and reset our brain's pathways for neurobiological resilience. We will use the power of journaling to release worry, create new habits of self-talk, move away from harsh self-criticism, and access deep inner calm. **Please bring to the workshop: paper, pencil, Sharpie, and Post-It Notes.
