Are You Unconsciously Negative?
Most people don’t think of themselves as negative. Especially parents who are doing their absolute best.
In this episode, we explore something much quieter and more exhausting than obvious negativity: unconscious negativity. The kind that sounds like honesty, facts, or “just telling it like it is” but slowly drains your nervous system and shapes how you experience your child, your relationships, and your life.
For parents raising autistic children, this matters deeply. The stories we repeat about behaviour, exhaustion, school struggles, and daily challenges don’t just describe our reality, they create it.
We talk about:
• How unconscious negativity shows up without you realising
• The “news reporter” way many parents describe their lives
• Why judging negativity is still negativity
• The difference between clear boundaries and chronic mental drain
• How your thoughts directly impact your nervous system and your parenting
This is not about being more positive or pretending things are easy. It’s about awareness, choice, and learning how to think in ways that support you instead of exhaust you.
If you’ve ever felt worn down, irritated by everything, or stuck in mental loops you can’t seem to shift, this conversation is for you.
Gentle, honest, and practical, this episode invites you to notice what’s happening in your mind, without judgment, and begin creating a lighter internal experience.
Awareness is the beginning of freedom.
