Description
When someone you love is struggling, the natural urge is often to step in and try to fix the problem. This video introduces compassionate New Maudsley skills that can help carers slow things down, understand the emotions behind a behaviour and remain connected to their loved one.
Jenny explores the Red, Blue and Purple Balloon metaphor, the Crap Day exercise and the New Maudsley animal metaphors. These approachable tools help carers reflect on their own responses, acknowledge their distress and combine unconditional support with appropriate boundaries.
