Sometimes your love for your child becomes so all-consuming that you lose yourself in parenting them. You lose sight of your own life and your own feelings, and you become increasingly involved in your child’s life—even taking on their feelings. In an effort to be a good parent, you find yourself profoundly preoccupied with and attached to your child’s happiness. In this episode, Dr. Nanika Coor offers ideas for pursuing your own life and giving your child the space to pursue their own life as well. 

Project Parenthood is hosted by Dr. Nanika Coor. A transcript is available at Simplecast.
