What Does Self-Care REALLY Mean?

Anna Seewald

In this solo episode I talk about why you might be feeling overwhelmed, less energized, negative and tired all the time.

I share one of my client’s story.

What is stress? How does it undermine your parenting? Do you know where your stress comes from? How large is your stress container and what is a STRESS DIAL?

 

Highlights

  • meet your stress response
  • how to recognize whether you are overly stressed
  • 4 steps in managing your stress
  • self-care REDEFINED
  • simple yet powerful tips to destress

About me

I help overwhelmed, frustrated parents who want to parent differently than their parents, make sense of their early childhood experiences, connect to their authentic self and their children on a deeper level, reduce stress, bring more ease, calm and joy into their lives by yelling less, and practicing non-punitive discipline. I have a private practice in New jersey which specializes in parent education. I provide in person and virtual one-on-one parenting coaching, court ordered and co-parenting classes. I’m also available for speaking.
