Parenthood
Becoming a parent rearranges a person, and a fair amount of what it brings up is not about the child at all.
This page is a working draft. It has not yet been reviewed and approved by our clinical team, and it is not indexed by search engines until it is.
What this is about
Sleep goes, identity shifts, a relationship gets renegotiated under load, and your own childhood arrives uninvited with strong opinions. Many people find they are parenting against a template rather than from one, which takes constant effort. Advice is abundant and mostly unhelpful.
What work here looks like
This is not parenting coaching. It is space for the person doing the parenting.
