Tools for Healing

Having a child doesn't always happen the way we imagine. Sometimes intense emotions about our pregnancy, birth, or just the realities of parenting a newborn, can make it feel difficult to be fully present with our baby.

Feelings such as disappointment, anger, or grief, while normal, can get in the way of making the heartfelt connection our babies crave, as well as holding us back from happiness as parents. It is so important to acknowledge these feelings and release them, to begin to invite healing.

I will share simple, but powerful tools for healing, including:

		Identifying and safely expressing difficult emotions
		Telling our stories, for ourselves, and to our babies
		Letting go of perfection and parenting guilt
		Integrating healing with the realities of day-to-day parenting
