Giving Ourselves What We Need

The Miscarriage Therapist

Aug 12, 2021

How many times have we said to ourselves, “how do I know what to do when I’m feeling stressed/anxious/sad?” It can be hard to identify what we need in various moments. Today, we will explore a few ways we can check in with ourselves to identify what we need to support ourselves. We explore the states of acceptance and change, as well as giving ourselves validation, skill building, cheerleading, and time to process our emotions. We also explore the stages of change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance.
