What an amazing first week of with an incredible group of girlies! 💕
💫Together we explored what self love really means and learnt about our inner child… experiencing some neuroscience based activities to help learn that we really can control what our brain thinks! 🧠🤓💪🏼
💫 I introduced the girls to meditation, guiding them through a self love meditation aimed at empowering thoughts and offering the opportunity to connect to themselves in the present moment 🧘‍♀️
💫 To finish we explored the natural properties of clay and what it has to offer; regulating nervous systems, opportunities for grounding and regulating and processing emotions. There was no emphasis on creating an end product other than the clay being a gift for themselves! 🎁💝💕
We can’t wait for Week 2!!! 🥰

Such a simplified and easy to understand explanation of PDA…originally known as ‘Pathological Demand Avoidance’ although more recently and more respectfully known as ‘Persistent Drive for Autonomy’ 💛
By appreciating the very REAL challenges of PDA you can completely change your understanding of behaviours! 💫
