Guided Soothing Visualization for Parents of Teens (22 min) | The Way Back Home

A 22-minute guided visualization on soothing: the way a steady, regulated nervous system can settle a distressed one, without fixing, rushing, or explaining. Soothing is not making the pain go away. It is staying. When you can remain grounded while someone you love is struggling, your presence itself changes their state. This practice helps you remember that capacity in your own body, and then offer it to your teen. Soothing is the third of the Five Conditions of Secure Attachment, from The Way Back Home: Healing Attachment Wounds With Your Teen. If it ever feels activating, return to the Safety practice; safety is always the foundation.
