In this workshop, we will explore how to hold the complexities of parenting a child with higher needs. Many parents feel overwhelmed and paralyzed by two opposing beliefs being true at the same time! For example: “I love my child AND I don’t know how I can continue to live like this.” You will learn how to hold, at the same time, both gratitude and joy as well as fatigue and helplessness. Research supports that being able to embody “both/and” is the essence of mental health and creates resiliency in parents. By learning how to hold tension and dualities within parenting, you will experience more self-compassion and be able to show up authentically with your children. (June 2021)
