ASK US ANYTHING: How to Unplug from Hyper-Vigilant Caregiving
Hello Brave Friends! This is an Ask Us Anything episode in which YOU, the listener, get to write or call in and, you guessed it, ASK US ANYTHING!
In this Ask Us Anything episode, #212, we are responding to the question, How do I unplug from constant hyper-vigilance in my caregiving?
In this conversation, Jessica, Zoe, and Susanna explore the theme of hypervigilance in parenting, particularly in the context of caring for children with any and all disabilities. They discuss the emotional toll of being constantly alert and the importance of recognizing this state as a protective response. The trio shares personal experiences and insights on how motherhood has evolved for them, highlighting the unexpected gifts that come with parenting. They also delve into practical strategies for managing hypervigilance, including grounding techniques and the necessity of self-compassion. Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes the importance of support and understanding within the caregiving community.
