RELATIONSHIP WORKSHOP
The “Good Enough” Parenting Skills Workshop
Do you often find yourself wondering if you are a good enough parent? And do you sometimes struggle with mom or dad shame? With increased accessibility to parenting books/blogs, social media image of the “perfect family”, and our own unresolved relationship dynamics with our primary caregivers, more parents are experiencing high anxiety, burnout, and are suffering silently within the parenting community.
This workshop is designed to provide a welcoming + supportive space with the goal of fostering parenting-compassion that translate into the parent+child relationship. In each workshop session, therapist will bring a parenting theme for participants to explore with a clear structure for participants to reflect on their personal relationship dynamics as caregivers, to learn emotional coaching skills that foster compassion, and to practice interpersonal parenting skills relevant to the session theme.

Do you often find yourself stuck in the past or worrying about the future? And is it a challenge to be in touch with your emotions and to stay the present moment.
