Make your family visits work for you instead of dreading them.

Beautiful words Emmy!

[@emilywilson7308]

I took a listening skills class and it had a big impact on my every day life.

[@teachmemaster2669]

how do I get me some of that? :)

[@DaytonaBleach]

Thank you Emmy for these wise words. I was already setting an intention to not let my mom upset me so much to the point where I escape with alcohol and then feel sick and not present with people. Stay strong! ❤

[@EmmyvanDeurzen]

@@EmmyvanDeurzen i know but im not a therapist. I can offer basic condolences but im new to this situation too. Very unqualified and unsure how to behave there

[@1Strawbz1]

@ im at the point of finding life pretty pointless but starting free counselling soon i believe

[@Downy22]

So true.

[@ClaireHaggard-d5o]

I’m a huge fan of your work Emmy but almost didn’t listen to this for fear of Pollyannaish advice. Not that that’s your style. Really glad I did and love the message of bringing our attention - the greatest gift of all - and the best of ourselves to our family interactions over coming weeks. Thank you🌲🧡

[@EmmyvanDeurzen]

@@ClaireHaggard-d5o Glad you watched, giving me the benefit of doubt.

[@chelseawarden2927]

What if people shut you down when you ask open questions , they blow up at you for asking how you are as youre an easy scapegoat ? Its hard to know how open to be with explosive unkind people whilst looking after myself xx

I no longer do FAMILY nope!!!

[@monikavaskor]

Are you planning to make these videos as reels on Instagram? I think many people would benefit from hearing and also sharing it there 👀🫶🏻 I will probably watch this video every day during X-mass ☺️✨

[@EmmyvanDeurzen]

I am not quite ready to expand my media presence. Finding it hard to keep up with all the responses here on KZbin as it is. So, I am not really seeking to reach a wider public as yet. It may come to it, later, when I have a publicist after my Penguin book is published.

[@monikavaskor]

@ I understand 🙏🏻 Good luck with publishing your book and creating this amazing content ✨ We really appreciate it!
