Supporting your family’s journey to emotional health
Once we are able to fully feel, we can move forward on the path we choose rather than a path chosen by fear, shame, sadness or anger. Fully Feeling is a pathway towards freedom and real change.
As parents and mental health professionals, we share a set of core beliefs that we have developed through extensive clinical experience, learning and observation. We came together to share how emotions are the key to supporting children’s mental health and challenging behaviour. We believe the best way to support parents and their children is not only helping them to feel better, but more importantly, helping them to get better at feeling. We bring this expertise to parents, children, clinicians and organizations.
At Fully Feeling, our clinical approach is emotion focused, primarily based on Emotion Focused Skills Training (EFST) for parents. EFST supports parents to navigate their own and their children’s emotions. Parents become aware of, understand, and work with the emotions that drive challenging behaviours. Parents also learn to create healthy boundaries, set effective limits and expectations, and strengthen relationships within their family.
Parents
We believe that parents have a central role in supporting their children. At Fully Feeling, we have specific expertise in empowering parents to feel more confident and capable in the face of their children’s big emotions and behaviour. We support parents with the combination of emotion knowledge and the mental health expertise that is needed for their child’s specific challenges.
Emotions
We believe that emotions are the key to mental health and challenging behaviours. Emotions are the primary motivator for all human behaviour. At Fully Feeling, we help you to become aware of, understand, and work with emotions. In order for behaviour to change, we need to address emotions first.
Behaviours
We believe that problematic behaviours are usually attempts to avoid and cope with painful emotions. At Fully Feeling, we understand behaviours through an emotion lens and support individuals to create healthy boundaries and set effective limits and expectations.
