You love your children more than anything.
There is a reason your relationship ended.
It is challenging to balance disconnecting and maintaining boundaries with your partner and staying present and engaged with your children.
Parenting dynamics are more challenging than ever. It feels like a highlight reel of regretful parenting moments on repeat in your head.
Part of you may wish your co-parent were not in the picture or that they would be more reasonable or involved.
The emotions of your past relationship still creep in, and you don’t like it.
“How can this person still occupy so much space in my head?”
How long will the ride last?
Co-parenting is a rollercoaster; only you never know when the ride will start or if it will ever end.
Sometimes, it feels like “the system” is against you. Not everyone “gets it.” You are exhausted and frustrated.
Reaching out for help is scary, let alone reaching out to the professional you just find online (that is me). The fear of being judged, misunderstood, and that “therapy won’t even make a difference” keeps coming to mind.
Safety is THE priority for you and your children.
I will meet you with empathy and nonjudgment when you step into my office. Judgment and shame have no place in therapy.
We will slow down the co-parenting rollercoaster, take the time to listen, and assess all the dynamics involved.
We will assure you have the needed support as a parent while also helping you to:
- Establish positive value-centered boundaries and expectations.
- Learn strategies for helping things go right.
- Gain new communication and emotional regulation skills.
- Learn ways to hold onto yourself when a rollercoaster unexpectedly starts.
- Honor yourself while prioritizing your love for your children.
In therapy, providing a space for honesty is vital. Co-parenting will remain challenging, AND you don’t have to keep running on fumes.
There is hope.
Running on empty is not the option you want to choose.
You’re not alone. Your thoughts matter. Your emotions matter. Your kids matter.
