This kind of parenting asks more of you than most people will ever understand. When your child’s nervous system is always on high alert, yours never gets a break.
Therapy is a space:
You don’t have to explain or justify your parenting
Your experience matters independently of outcomes
Therapy is where you:
Learn to understand your nervous system
See how chronic stress shows up:
Irritability
Shutdown
Emotional numbness
Losing access to patience and creativity
Identify patterns of overextension
Process grief, anger, guilt, fear, and resentment (yes — all allowed!)
Reconnect with your own needs, limits, and identity
This work is not about doing more — it’s about doing things differently, starting with you.
You Will:
Recognize early signs of burnout
Learn what regulation looks like for you
Shift out of survival mode
If you’re looking for someone to help you come up with new strategies for your PDA child, I may not be the right fit. Most parents I work with already know what to do — the missing piece is support for the emotional cost of doing it.
