Episode 2: Secret Feelings: Opening ourselves to the tough emotions of parenthood
We can harness our feelings to transform our lives.
Welcome to Episode 2 of this 12-part series created to bolster parents and caregivers. As parents, we all have feelings we don’t like to admit to ourselves – let alone share. In this episode, we’re bringing those feelings into the daylight and figuring out what to do with them. Disappointment, annoyance, guilt, exhaustion… sometimes you just want to run away. Yale University expert Dr. Marc Brackett shows us how to become “emotion scientists,” and give ourselves permission to feel. Author and therapist Merriam Saunders shares the feelings she had to process as she learned about her kids’ anxiety, ADHD, autism and learning differences; and mom Jackie opens up about her childrens’ struggles with mental health and how she held it together.
