MONTHLY SUPPORT GROUPS

“Working with Leslie has been like turning my head around 180 degrees and getting used to the view from that angle. I thought I was going to Leslie for her to help me with this issue or that with my girls but instead I learned that the girls are just communicating to me through every action and reaction and it my own discomfort that I have gotten to work with. The only thing I came into parenthood knowing was that parents were supposed to be consistent which I thought meant saying no today to the same things I said no to yesterday. That was way too much for me to keep up with. Leslie Potter has taught me that the consistency I want is to show up with myself and my children(and in every other relationship ) with unconditional love. It’s really simple, but it’s not easy.” Susanne A

At Purejoy Leslie offers monthly support groups to go deeper into the work.  Each week a small group meets via phone to process your individual needs.  During this monthly call topics that are covered:

• How to recognize and work with your triggers in response to your child’s behavior
• Understanding the communication behind all behaviors
• Learning to address your child’s needs as well as your own
• Working in connection with your spouse instead of at odds
• Regulation techniques to ensure emotional safety
• Daily practices to stay calm and connected

These are a few of the many topics that arise during our weekly time.  If you are interested in hearing more you can contact me at leslie@purejoyparenting.com.
