My thesis for this podcast is to help other T1D Mommas feel less sad, scared, and stressed and start feeling more calm, confident, and connected!
Today we are focussing on the feeling less scared part.
When your child gets diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, you feel a lot of fear. You are living daily with the very real threat to your child's life. This is very taxing on your nervous system!
So, yes, your child will have diabetes for the rest of their life, but you don't have to live in constant fear.
Feeling scared is fine.
All emotions are okay.
We will start as always, with our AAA Battery Framework and get awareness of the thoughts that are causing the scared feelings.
But then we MUST fill our Acceptance/Allowance battery.
It is ok to feel all the feels! and please do!
We are not resisting fear in order to feel less scared.
The opposite in fact.
What you resists persists!
So allow the fear.
Allow the scared feelings.
They won't kill you.
They are actually giving you a message.
They are trying to be helpful.
Receive the message and then the feeling (like a persistent toddler) will leave once you acknowledge it!
I can help you with this process in our complimentary coaching session. Sign up today at dropthewar.com/appointments and let's get started feeling less scared!
