    [When “Calm Down” Doesn’t Help] How to Tackle Meltdowns, Anxiety & Depression with Your Daughter

    PROMOTED POST

    Hi — Fran Hendrick here.

    If you’ve worked with me before, you already know that when I see moms and girls consistently having the same problem, I’m going to look for a way to make it better. That’s because – first – I know you want these problems to go away; and second – I know they can.

    Toward the end of first quarter, I started hearing about meltdowns — those painful, exhausting, tearful sessions of self-doubt and giving up – often on school work or sports teams, but sometimes just on straightening the bedroom. And the topic hasn’t gone away – probably because school becomes steadily more stressful as the year goes on.

    So I’ve been working on it – which for me means creating a cost-effective solution that you can use at your own pace in your available time. To make things better.

    Would you like to be able to help your daughter manage her stress and anxiety without meltdowns – and without repeating some of the painful encounters you may have experienced with your own mom growing up?

    I know when you’re faced with the homework meltdown, what you want in that moment is for it to stop – for your daughter’s well-being and – let’s face it – for your own sanity. So you might start by trying to calm your daughter – but I’ll tell you, I’ve rarely seen “Calm Down!” help anyone feel calm. So you try pushing back a little; reassuring her that you know she can handle the task she’s panicked about. You offer help. And maybe you’ve threatened a consequence.

    Your intentions are good. It’s just that none of this works very well. You have to go deeper to get to the root of this problem.

    To help you do that, I’ve created:

    When “Calm Down” Doesn’t Help: How to Tackle Meltdowns, Anxiety & Depression in Your Daughter

    This pre-launch sale is LIVE now.

    And, instead of struggling to figure this out by yourself, here is everything you need to know in order to tackle this frustrating problem.

    • Help your daughter avoid those exhausting mood swings and move from quitting to persisting.
    • Build in her strong resistance to anxiety and depression by supporting her in moving from feeling inadequate to feeling confident.
    • Provide the very specific responses she needs from you in order to get off the Self-Esteem Roller Coaster so she can hang in there even when she’s becoming overwhelmed.

    Not only will you walk the path towards being meltdown-free, but it will also give you the momentum you need to achieve to build your daughter’s confidence and protect her from anxiety and depression.

    That’s so important – because these things – meltdowns, self-esteem, anxiety, depression – are all connected.

    Because this is a brand-new course and I want to see how you like it, I’m only offering it for the next four days (but once purchased, you’ll have access to it for as long as you want). Four days is short, I know – so in exchange for that quick decision, there is an one-time introductory price of $47.

    When “Calm Down” Doesn’t Help: How to Tackle Meltdowns, Anxiety & Depression in Your Daughter

    I’d love for you to take this opportunity to buckle down and address the meltdown saga! And remember – while you’re working the course, you can share your questions, experiences, and comments in the Raising Confident Girls Facebook group.

    I’ll be there!

    Loveland yoga enthusiast’s unique practices empower community

    Cassie Mattia lives in Historic Downtown Loveland

    Loveland, Ohio – Stressed? Can’t sleep? Experiencing body pain you can’t explain? Unfortunately, these are all symptoms that we feel every day due to the constant pressure we put on ourselves to succeed at work, at school, at the gym or even within our own families. People are constantly trying to find that one unique escape route where they can relieve their daily stresses, without having to necessarily partake in a vigorous 30-minute run or a trip to the bar for some happy hour cocktails. Loveland Resident Linda Becker offers an escape route for those everyday stresses that is not only unique but promotes healing and a sense of well-being mentally and physically.

    Linda opened Loveland Yoga and Wellness in 2014 in the West Loveland Historic District only one block west of the Little Miami River on West Loveland Avenue. “I have lived in Loveland since 1981. I knew if I owned a business, I wanted it to be a part of the Loveland community. When I saw the For Sale sign and scheduled a viewing of the property, I fell in love with the house/location,” Linda said. 

    According to Linda, it wasn’t always her plan to open her own studio, but claimed that she always had a passion for the art of yoga. 

    “My daughter was home from college and took me to a couple of classes in the early 2000s. It was love at first breath. It made me feel so good afterward. I began practicing as much as I could and enrolled in my first teacher training in 2007. I took the teacher training to delve deeper into my own personal practices. I had no intention of teaching others! But with encouragement from my teachers, I began teaching at YogahOMe in Symmes Township (no longer in operation). I eventually taught a variety of classes there 5 times a week. I became increasingly interested in yoga therapy and in 2013 I completed a 300hr advanced training in Urban Zen Integrative Therapy. I never wanted to own a studio, but when YogahOMe closed their doors, I thought it might be the right time to offer more therapeutic services. So I opened Loveland Yoga and Wellness in 2014.”

    Over the past few years, Linda has racked up quite a number of certifications. Becker is not only a Yoga Teacher at the 500-hour level registered with Yoga Alliance, but she is also certified as an Urban Zen Integrative Therapist, a Yoga Therapist with The International Association of Yoga Therapists, a Master Reiki, and an Oil Therapist who makes custom solutions for sleep.

    So what exactly makes Loveland Yoga and Wellness unique? “Loveland Yoga and Wellness is not a typical yoga studio. I think of it as a wellness center with many options to meet students where they are. Class sizes are kept small with plenty of individual attention to develop safe practices. It’s a community with everyone supporting each other,” Linda said. 

    Linda’s wellness studio offers a variety of unique therapy techniques indeed! Of course the center provides both Yoga and Yoga Therapy, but in addition to that Linda also offers Urban Zen Integrative Therapy, which mixes the healing modalities of gentle yoga such as gentle movements, restorative positions, guided meditation and breathing techniques, Reiki Therapy, a Japanese healing practice that is associated with the benefits of deep relaxation, stress reduction, more restful sleep, and enhanced immune functioning, Aromatherapy, which uses essential oils made from plant materials to promote relaxation, relieve stress, anxiety and lessen symptoms from acute and chronic health conditions, and lastly Raindrop Technique Therapy, which is an energizing technique where oils are layered on the neck, back and feet bringing about balance and electrical alignment. 

    With the wellness center providing so many different types of therapy it attracts a wider audience than most Yoga studios ranging from young professionals to senior citizens. “I am passionate about yoga practices being accessible to everyone,” Linda said. 

    Loveland Yoga and Wellness offers a plethora of classes that integrates different types of therapy according to what health or physical challenges you’re encountering as well as training classes/series, such as Reiki Level 1, Yoga series for Osteoporosis, Yoga series for Chronic Back Pain and 200-hour Level Yoga Teacher training, for anyone seeking certification in a particular therapy.  

    “In addition to typical mixed level yoga classes, I offer therapeutic and chair yoga classes appropriate for anyone. Urban Zen classes address symptoms of pain, anxiety, nausea, insomnia, constipation, and exhaustion. Private sessions address specific individual needs. I want to empower students to be proactive in their health care. I also offer private Reiki treatments and Essential Oil Therapy,” Linda said. “I am beginning a 200-hour teacher training immersion 9/17. This is for anyone wanting to learn how to be their own teacher and share the practices with others. Also, 9/26 I am offering a very popular chronic low back pain series. Last year this 12-week series sold out,” Linda added.

    As off current on Monday’s at 3 PM Chair Yoga is offered, which uses a chair for comfort for seated positions as well as for standing postures. This class is meant to help increase flexibility, strength,and a sense of calm. On Tuesday’s at 9 AM, Wednesday’s at 8:30 AM and Saturday’s at 9 AM Mixed Levels Yoga classes are given. This class is designed for yogis of all levels! The class uses props and modifications so that everyone can complete the postures effectively. Also offered on Tuesday’s are Therapeutic Yoga classes which are held at 6 PM. This class requires no previous yoga experience and places a strong focuses on gentle and slow movements that build strength to support your spine and joints. Therapeutic Yoga is ideal for beginners, those recovering from a surgery or people who suffer from joint pain. On Thursday’s at 9:30 AM and 6 PM Urban Zen classes are held which incorporates both Essential Oils and Reiki while using simple movements, breath awareness techniques, guided meditations and restorative positions. 

    Over the past few years, Yoga studios have been popping up left and right as it has become extremely popular as a form of exercise as well as a way of uniting mind, body, and spirit.
