Staying Calm In Patient Care
Carol's strategies gave me practical, evidence-based tools to manage stress, improve my emotional regulation, and stay grounded with calm and clarity in both parenting and patient care. These skills have made a meaningful, lasting difference.
It Works!
The “Hand Writing Brain Dump” has helped me. The tracing out my thoughts with my finger, on the palm of my hand seriously works like MAGIC. Every night while laying in bed, I trace every thought out on my palm, pretend to crumble it up like a piece of paper, and throw it to the floor. Then my mind is clear and ready for sleep. It’s amazing and like I said…. It’s magic!
