Talking Sense with Dr Martha

We all let out our anger on our children sometimes. How can you begin to make sense of your triggers? What message is Anger trying to tell you? How can you build a toolkit of resources that not only prevents you getting into ‘shouty mode’ but protects and recharges you to have more capacity to be with your child? Dr Martha reflects on all of this and more of this episode on Anger.

Need further support to manage anger? There is help out there. Dr Martha has compiled a list of resources including useful charities and ways to access support alongside further reading on emotions. See all of this and more here: https://www.drmarthapsychologist.com/resources

When children move schools it can be one of the first transitions they have awareness of, and even if it’s the right decision, it can be hard. Before you can have a new beginning you need to have an ending. Dr Martha talks through what transitions can bring up for you and for your child, offering ideas to support you moving through this in a way that allows both you and your child to process the change and come out the other side feeling more connected.
