Navigating the challenges of co-parenting with a narcissist can be emotionally taxing. To address this, it's crucial to develop strategies for managing our own emotions in these situations, especially when they're the other parent of our children. In this episode, I’ll explore how to understand the root causes of our emotional responses and share techniques to handle them. What you will learn in this episode: The impact our nervous system has on our healing. How to manage our emotions and self-regulate. Why our emotions can get the better of us and what our body is trying to tell us. Managing our emotions is particularly important as our emotional well-being not only affects us but also our children and those around us. I’ll share a structured approach to co-parenting with a narcissist. Including strategies for transitions, such as when our children go to or come back from the other parent, and how to maintain our parenting roles effectively in this complex dynamic.  Podcast Resources: Managing Emotions Masterclass: carolinestrawson.com/managing-emotions-masterclass Join my FREE Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse Access my low cost Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Programme https://go.carolinestrawson.com/heal-the-trauma-of-narcissistic-abuse Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinestrawson/ Find me on TikTok!: https://www.tiktok.com/@carolinestrawson  My website: https://www.carolinestrawson.com/
