Hi Helen, I’m so glad this was helpful.
Re your question – I’m wondering how you’re currently supporting your child with this? In general terms our emotions come from an unconscious part of our brain. So regulating involves first being aware (“you had a bad dream”), then by getting our thinking brain activated in some way (concentrating on ‘doing’ something takes focus away from feeling). You may well already have found ways to do this but if you’d like, you could book an intro call to explore this more together: https://meetings-eu1.hubspot.com/sarah-bickers
