A Guide to Helping Parents Transform Feelings of Overwhelm, Guilt and Isolation to Feel More Grounded and Accepting of Themselves and Their Child
You might be thinking…
Parenting is not all it’s cracked up to be.
As a parent or primary caregiver, you may be feeling overwhelmed and isolated, often leading to feelings of shame and guilt.
You may feel like you’ve lost control of your child, of yourself, and spend most of your time feeling lost, burdened, confused, and conflicted. You want to be a patient, compassionate and attuned caregiver, but are struggling to get there.
You read articles and try different techniques, attempting, striving to be that perfect parent. And when you come up short, you feel like a failure.
You are not alone.
In my decades of experience working with families, I’ve seen hundreds of parents and caregivers in your exact same position. It’s incredibly challenging to care for and regulate your children while feeling overstimulated and dysregulated yourself.
I’m Dafna Lender, and I’m a family therapy expert and attachment specialist as well as an international trainer and supervisor for practitioners who work with children and families.
I specialize in treating children and their parents, including those with ADHD, anxiety, learning disabilities, behavior outbursts, as well as those exposed to chronic mental illness, attachment wounds, and other forms of trauma.
From all this experience, I know how difficult it is to parent in these modern times, especially when your child(ren) has needs and challenges outside of your knowledge and experience.
That's why I created The Anti-Perfect Parent.
This online course will help you to form secure attachments, increase patience and compassion, and feel fully present with your children. You will learn the skills you need to transition from burdened and overwhelmed, to grounded and calm.
Perfection is a myth. It's time to embrace the messiness.
Since this is the first time offering the course, I am inviting a small group of parents and caregivers to join the beta group and participate in live training, in exchange for feedback.
