It’s National Stop Bullying Day!
Whether bully energy pokes at the water cooler, the playground, or online, both kids and adults feel the jabs, and they can sting. But they don’t have to.
Instead of making someone the “bad guy” or the “good guy,” M-Bodied Therapy & Coaching helps people to recognize the roots of bullying behavior:
M-Bodied helps people of all ages to recognize their own energy and big feelings as “normal” yet not helpful to aim at a peer or child, but instead, ask for support upwards rather than aiming it sideways or downhill.
M-Bodied also helps those on the receiving end of the pokes and jabs to better see how the message is more about the other person, to help the energy bounce off and away.
Instead of bursting other people’s bubbles to build oneself up, and instead of letting other people burst one’s bubble, M-Bodied supports elders move through their own big feelings in order to more presently support the next generation.
The kid parts in adult bodies also need compassionate support because the longtime teasing and picking behavior is only resolved when an elder can catch it without shaming. When adults can unload their big feels without being pathologized, they experience a greater capacity for self-acceptance and self-handling too.
Kids can’t raise kids. They need elders, parents, teachers, coaches to stay present and “catch” energy rather than resorting to normalizing “boys will be boys,” or avoiding the “mean girls.” Having trusted elders helps kids of all ages to feel supported and able to express their unique self.
These relational “Chain of Support” dynamics, co-regulation from elder to next generation, creates more satisfaction in being oneself, more robust self-expression, more acceptance of others, more nervous system state “Play/Dance.”
M-Bodied Therapy & Coaching helps both kids & adults embody boundaries & their unique expression of self 🌟.
