💙 Parenting a child with a chronic illness can feel like an emotional rollercoaster—one filled with fear, guilt, exhaustion, and endless searching for answers. In this episode of webe Pärents, Dr. Alona Pulde and Dr. Matthew Lederman open up about their own struggles as their daughter’s Crohn’s disease flared, forcing them to confront not only her pain but also their own emotional patterns.

They also share powerful listener stories:
🔹 Miguel and his wife, who felt completely alone caring for their child—until they found a support group that changed everything.
🔹 Sarah, who was so consumed by trying to find a cure that she pushed away the very people who could help her.
🔹 Jenna, who stopped chasing solutions and instead focused on her family’s well-being—only to see her child’s health start improving.

What if emotional healing is just as important as medical treatment? How can parents manage their own stress without spiraling into guilt or frustration? And what’s the key to staying united as a couple during the hardest times?

Tune in to hear the science behind emotional regulation, the power of connection, and the RAIN tool that can transform the way you cope. Because taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. 🌿💫
