ParentMap Live - Becoming Aware: Reducing Anxiety and Cultivating Calm

Calendar/Event Details

Find your zen! Don’t miss this free ParentEd Talk by renowned author Dan Siegel, M.D.

Parenthood gives a whole new meaning to the term stress test. Too often, we find ourselves treadmilling through our days set on “automatic,” anxiously trying to keep pace with far too many to-dos. It can seem difficult, if not impossible, to pause and catch a breath. How can we shift from automaton mode to being more present in our lives and for the people we love?

In this illuminating ParentMap Live talk, renowned psychiatrist, Mindsight Institute cofounder and author Dan Siegel, M.D., will break down techniques to help parents become more mindful in their daily routines. Drawing from the groundbreaking Wheel of Awareness practice outlined in his bestselling books “Aware” and “Becoming Aware,” Dr. Siegel will share everyday exercises to regain inner balance and peace, while reducing fear, anxiety and stress.
