Be a present parent
Parenting is no walk in the park.
Each new phase of the parenting journey brings new fears, concerns, and worries. You love your child with everything you have, but the anxiety you experience in your role as a parent is like nothing you have felt before. You are doing everything you can to help your child, and yet at the end of the day, it doesn’t feel like enough. The worry is still there.
You feel like you are repeating the same patterns, over and over, but seeing no real change or progress. You feel like a broken record, and are so desperately wanting there to be growth and change for both your child and your family as a whole.
“Connecting to our children can be one of the most challenging and one of the most rewarding of experiences.”
I work with parents that feel anxiety and worry in their parenting identity. They watch their child struggle with anxiety or isolation on their own, and they would do anything to alleviate the anxiety they see their child facing. But their own anxiety in the parenting role leaves them feeling stuck and lost.
When clients first come in, they struggle to recognize just what incredible parents they actually are. They are so consumed by the worry and fear that is filling their days, they don’t see all of the ways that they are loving their child so well through it all.
The truth is, parenting is complex. Watching your child wrestle with anxiety of their own has a way of bringing out our own anxieties as the parent. I help my clients recognize the way their child’s struggles are impacting their own experience. I work to empower my client’s in who they are and in their role as a parent.
When my client’s experience the relief of knowing they are not alone and begin to feel the anxiety melt away, they are able to then empower their child and be the parent they were so desiring to be.
