Parenting Support

Parenting is growth. It teaches us a lot about ourselves. Sometimes it might feel raw, like we are smack back in our own childhood when we enter particularly difficult stages of motherhood or fatherhood. Sometimes we feel good about our natural instincts, our self-awareness, and we trust ourselves. During these moments there is less doubt and we feel physically and emotionally connected to our children.

 

But then there are the other times. The sensitive child that doesn't seem to respond well to our best intentions, leading to frustration. There could be days, months, or even years that are confusing and we feel like we need a roadmap. These are the times that we need to reach out for deep, unwavering support to get us through the ocean of overwhelm. Yes there is a need for practical, concrete plans and fundamental shifts. There is also a need to nurture ourselves so we can once again trust our natural instincts and do our very best.

​

This is where having a foundation of family systems plays a crucial role. The family is an interconnected emotional unit where each member's behavior influences the others. Inner child work is a psychological approach that involves healing unresolved childhood wounds, recognizing emotional patterns, and reconnecting with one's younger self. As a parent, engaging in inner child work helps you become more self-aware, emotionally regulated, and intentional in how you raise your children.

​

Instead of unconsciously repeating patterns you experienced in your childhood, you can:

• Break generational patterns

• Learn emotional regulation so you respond differently

• "Re-parent" yourself while parenting your child

• Develop self-compassion

• Enhance connection with your child
