20.01.2022 Good morning and Happy Saturday! This is just a quick note to let you know that the topic for this Sunday’s Parent Call is... (cue trumpets): Self-Parenting: Caring for the Inner Child... PLEASE NOTE: You must register for the call BEFORE it starts, in order to get the recording! ‘Please secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others.’ We all recognise the wisdom in this. So why do we so often find ourselves putting self-care at the bottom of the to-do list? We’ll look at: Why self-care has to be priority, and the reasons we often find it so hard How to ‘wipe the slate clean’, and empty the emotional in-tray Reclaiming emotional suppression as a tool, rather than a habit Training emotional expression as an ability, rather than a reaction The cultural context that equates self-care with self-indulgence Expenditure vs Recovery - how to balance the energy books to create a life that works. Trauma-informed parenting - working with the echoes of our own childhoods It’s impossible to get to adulthood without collecting some unresolved emotional memories along the way - we all carry ‘undigested’ experiences in our nervous systems. Most of these we pick up during childhood. Some of these are subtle, and affect us in almost invisible ways. Some are dramatic in their intensity and provoke reactions out of proportion to the situation. In the aftermath, we find ourselves wondering, ‘Why did I get so upset? Why did I say/do those things?’ How we interact with our unresolved experiences/traumas directly affects our interactions with our children, and our partners. In this call we will look at our relationship with ourselves. How we can look after the parts of us that need tending, and practice meeting our own deepest needs. Join us on the call to get some new perspectives and tools for self-parenting The call is via Zoom, at 10am on this Sunday 13th Sept. (If you can’t make the call in person, no problem. Everyone who registers will get a recording of the call. We’ll cover a lot, so you may want to re-watch even if you are on the call.) If you’re interested, you can find out more (and register) here: https://www.trybooking.com/BKLYQ Hope to see you there! Lots of love, Lee PS: I often get asked about 1-on-1 sessions, and yes I am available for them. If you've been on a call in the last month, you get a discounted rate. Sadly, no medicare rebate because I'm a psychotherapist, not a psychologist. But yes, NDIS funding is fine. PPS: I just discovered that a lot of your email replies were being sent to spam. If you've emailed me in the past month and not received a reply - my apologies! Lots of the messages were asking about accessing recordings for previous calls - I'm working my way through those emails. For now, the best way is to get a call recording is to make sure you register before the call, even if you can't attend in person.

11.01.2022 Hi, Happy Thursday! This is just a quick note to let you know that the topic for this Sunday’s RBR Parent Call is (dun dun DAH!):... Rite of Passage - Parenting Teenagers Let’s face it, teenagers can be awkward and intimidating (not to mention infuriating). So we’ll make sure this call is the exact opposite: relaxing and empowering! We’ll look at: What adolescence is, from a biological, psychological and archetypal perspective Supporting the separation process, as teenagers rebel and try to leave the family cocoon behind How to communicate and set boundaries with teens How we can work with, and protect ourselves from the rejection and judgement that teens are so good at Why teens can be so bad at responsibility, and how to help them improve The parent’s rite of passage and how to participate in it more fully What defines a rite of passage, and how can we provide one in a modern context Few of us had an easy time of it in our own teenage years. And being around teenagers can flush up those experiences, whether we realise it or not. It can be easy to feel self-conscious in the face of a teen’s withering scorn. So we’ll get really clear about the dynamics of the teenage transition time, and why certain situations can flare up so easily. And we’ll uncover the emotional acupressure points that can enrage or soothe a distressed teen. I'll start the call with a short talk, introducing some principles, and then we'll go straight into Q&A. As much as possible, we'll look at tools and approaches in response to your specific examples, so it's less theoretical and more practical. Join us on the call to get some new perspectives and tools for building connection with your teen, or, if you have younger kids, get a head start on the years to come (adolescence is kicking in earlier than ever these days). The call is via Zoom, at 10am on this Sunday 6th Sept. (If you can’t make the call in person, no problem. Everyone who signs up will get a recording of the call. We’ll cover a lot, so you may want to re-watch even if you are on the call.) If you’re interested, you can find out more (and sign up) here: https://www.trybooking.com/BKLYQ Hope to see you there! Lots of love, Lee
