The following video training is supplemental material for several of Barbara’s books.
The Brain and Healing Trauma Video:
Do you feel unequipped to help others who are hurting, or have experienced trauma? Did you know that there is a specific way that the brain processes painful moments? This is a supplement for the book, Joy-Filled Relationships. Watch this video for a visual demonstration.
How the Brain Works in Joy-Filled Parenting Video:
Are you struggling to connect with your children? Do you struggle with communication with older teens? Then this supplemental video is for you! This can be used with Handbook to Joy-Filled Parenting and Joy-Filled Parenting with Teens. As you are watching, you will see that it specifically talks about how the brain processes painful moments. The concepts that are covered will help you understand what is going on with your children and teens when they are hurting.
Boundary & Overwhelm Exercise
Do you struggle with saying “Stop” when you need to? This exercise works on more than one brain skill. It helps practice giving a boundary or a “no” to someone. It helps practice stopping when asked as well as noticing overwhelm non-verbally. It helps notice how one’s body feels when anger is moving towards them, and it helps practice loving an enemy.
The video background is in my home, and it’s cluttery, so try to look at the faces of the people in the practice. This exercise can be fun when done in a group that is not trying to be taped. It can be difficult but eye-opening. I have done the exercise with just one other person and myself to help them feel and notice what is going on in their mind and body. It is a good practice tool.
Written directions on how to use this exercise.
