Securely Attached

Q&A: Is my guilt over being a working mom hurting my parenting?


Listen Later

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...

- Dr. Sarah and Dr. Rebecca debate whether mom-guilt is inherent to all mothers or a societally structured construct (Spoiler: Dr. Rebecca wins this battle!)

- The critical distinction between distress and guilt and why one can be a destructive grenade in parenting.

- Releasing guilt is a form of activism - we're explaining why.

- How to course correct once you've noticed you're parenting from a space of guilt.

- The question to ask yourself that can help guide your behaviors as a parent that come from a place of attunement and trust, rather than guilt or fear.

- Using a "values-driven" distinction to help you determine the root reasons you are making certain decisions, and how bringing this into your consciousness can be helpful.
