Today, in our Rare Family Dynamics support group we explored the idea that you can letting go of control can open the door to an embrace with wonder, awe and surprise.

This week's conversation in our Rare Family Dynamics support group was about discovering new ways for navigating the unknown and what cannot be controlled, which is nearly everything.

In our fast-paced world, the concept of surrender might seem counterintuitive. We're taught to be assertive, take control, and strive for success. However, there is a profound strength in surrendering – a power that comes from letting go of the need to control every aspect of our lives.

Today we talked about the nature of emotions and the connection between thoughts, emotions and overwhelm.

We talked about how having a nuanced understanding of the emotional landscape is helpful because when you know more precisely what you're feeling, you can ask for the specific kind of support you need.

This week we kicked off the fourth quarter of the year by diving into the landscape of our emotions. Emotions reside in our body, energetic awareness, and in our psyche. In order to know what you're feeling, you have to slow down– it can be scary to feel, especially as a parent of a Rare child.

As complex beings, we are seldom defined by just one emotion at a time. Our emotional landscape is a rich tapestry of feelings that can sometimes be contradictory. It's a testament to our multifaceted nature that joy and sorrow, love and anger, or hope and fear can coexist within us simultaneously.
