DeInfluencing Parenthood
Alliance Counselling
Dr Josephine Carlisle and Lisa Sanders
Parenting in this Information Age can be empowering and also overwhelming.
😵💫Constant exposure to carefully curated images and narratives can contribute to feelings of inadequacy and/or anxiety among parents. This can lead to comparisons, and potential disharmony with parents, friends and family. It's important to maintain a balanced perspective and prioritize mental well-being.
DeInfluencing parenthood requires evaluating and filtering the information and expectations around parenting, and making deliberate choices that align with personal values and beliefs rather than external pressures.
In this Masterclass, we discuss
