Part of parenting is realizing that there are things you’ll handle differently than your own parents did, and sometimes what seemed normal to us as children may not be the healthiest path forward. Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and relationship specialist Alyssa Scarano is the founder and owner of The Collective Therapy and Wellness. She joins Emily on the podcast today to discuss how our own early social learnings impact our parenting and how growth from our individual healing supports ourselves and our children. We’ll also touch on the importance of breathing for everyone- including those of us who have never set foot in a yoga class. Our conversation today breaks down moments of conflict and overstimulation step by step to help listeners recognize how to be the parent their child needs in that moment.
