EP. 27 | Mastering Your Mind: Parenting and Emotional Challenges with Dr. Samara Potter.
Can changing a single word in your vocabulary transform your stress levels and parenting experience? Join us as we welcome Dr. Samara Potter, a pediatric oncologist and certified life coach, to discuss the profound impact of negative self-talk on parents, especially those caring for children with cancer. Dr. Potter offers transformative advice on shifting from "should" to "can" or "want to," empowering parents to reclaim control and alleviate stress.
Dive deep into the emotional landscape of parenting a child with severe illness. We explore the delicate balance between feeling emotions fully and fostering a positive mindset. Dr. Potter explains the critical difference between genuine gratitude and toxic positivity, sharing practical strategies to address automatic negative thoughts and emphasizing the importance of self-compassion. Challenging societal norms that pressure parents to put others first, we underline the necessity of prioritizing one's own mental health.
The journey of processing grief and practicing self-care takes center stage as we share personal experiences of mothers navigating their children's illnesses. Dr. Potter highlights the importance of allowing oneself to grieve authentically and the therapeutic benefits of hobbies like art. Creativity and self-care become powerful tools for mental well-being, with techniques to interrupt negative thought patterns and elevate personal happiness. Tune in to discover how these strategies can support you in your caregiving journey and enhance your overall mental health.
