Self-Regulation Strategies: When Emotions Get Out of Control

In this week’s episode, Adrienne speaks with Dr. Allyson Coffin, a Chiropractor and Owner of Align with Wellness in Yarmouth. Dr. Coffin and Adrienne discuss self-regulation; how to help our children when their big emotions get TOO big and how we can keep ourselves calm in those difficult situations. Hear about how cross-pattern brain exercises help kids stay regulated while watching TV - because sometimes screen time for the kids can help caregivers take some time for their own self-care. Dr. Coffin also offers strategies for all ages when feelings and/or pressures start to become overwhelming.   About Dr. Allyson Coffin Dr. Coffin graduated Cum Laude from New York Chiropractic College obtaining her doctorate in chiropractic through the study of anatomy, physiology, and neuroscience.
