Good parents Lose their patience. Good Parents make mistakes.
Parenting has a way of bringing out the best in us...and sometimes the parts of ourselves we thought we'd left behind.
If you've ever gone to bed thinking:
"I yelled again."
"Why can't I stay calm?"
"I'm trying so hard and nothing is working."
“Is there something wrong with what I am doing?”
“If I did that as a kid, I never would have gotten away with it.”
You're not alone.
I don't expect perfection from parents. In fact, I don't think your child needs a perfect parent. Children grow through thousands of everyday moments of connection, repair, laughter, comfort, and trying again. Therapy isn't about becoming a perfect parent—it's about becoming a more connected one.
Parents and caregivers come to therapy because:
You yell more than you want to.
You feel guilty all the time.
Your child pushes every button.
You and your partner disagree on parenting.
You don't recognize yourself anymore.
You love your kids but don't enjoy parenting right now.
You're trying to parent differently than you were parented.
You feel lonely.
You are divorced and are trying to help your child have a relationship with the other parent.
