Ruth Jaeger, LCSW and Liz Salin, MFT are very excited to announce the start of a 6 week class in San Rafael, CA for parents who are experiencing a separation or divorce. The class will focus on teaching participants to use mindfulness meditation skills to regulate the inevitable stress and dysregulation of this transitional phase. Our program is inspired by Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) classes which have demonstrated that these skills can be learned in a short term format. Outcome studies have shown mindfulness skills to be effective in reducing symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression.
As documented in research studying outcomes of children of divorce, sensitive caregiving is the cornerstone of a secure attachment and secure attachment correlates with resilience in children. Parents will learn and practice skills which will facilitate their ability to regain a sense of emotional stability. Emotional regulation is essential for personal well-being and good parenting during this upsetting time.
