What Will be Covered in this Workshop?
Psychoeducation
My workshops focus on delivering easily digestible psychoeducation, shedding light on diagnoses like Autism Spectrum or ADHD. We delve into the tangible realities of these diagnoses, exploring how these brainstyles manifest in your day-to-day experiences.
Addressing the challenges
Following psychoeducation, we will navigate through common parental experiences and challenges frequently encountered in my practice. This workshop provides a supportive environment for sharing frustrations and navigating the emotional landscape of your parenting journey. As parents, it's crucial to acknowledge our imperfections and recognize that we are, ultimately, imperfect beings doing our best. Validating our experiences is key to feeling empowered to explore new approaches.
