Kristy leads a discussion on emotional buffering. We learn how to identify the negative behaviors we use when avoiding pain or uncomfortable emotions. She shares tools to overcome buffering behaviors like overspending, over-scheduling, negative food relationships and more. We learn how to be compassionate with ourselves when we do buffer and how to employ more positive solutions for coping with stress and discomfort.
