It's like a toddler throwing a tantrum - you can smack the baby on the butt, but that won't end the tantrum, it will only make it worse. If instead, we provide a calm, loving space for the toddler to scream and express their fears and pain, they will calm down and eventually just want a hug.

All day long, one quick thing to the next, putting off anything that requires much more focus than that...

If it doesnβt seem like the right moment to express yourself, hold onto your feelings, and bring them up at a time when youβre in a calm space, and you can both properly address them with care and rationality.Β
