This community does not and cannot take the place of professional mental health services. If you are having a mental health emergency, please contact your doctor, therapist or call 911. If you are having suicidal or self harm thoughts, you can call or text the 988 helpline or again, reach out to a counselor or 911. We are here to support and learn from each other but no one is able to give professional advice. Lots of love ❤️
Here's my admit of the day - my college kid facetimed me about his suite getting in trouble for having a poker table. Although he is in the suite, he says he didn't play with the rest of the suite mates. When I hung up, I was so frustrated and just kept thinking, "this kid can't stay out of trouble!!" I'm scared because he may be roped into this and be kicked out in his first semester of freshman year!!!!! I'm overwhelmed and not sure what to do next when honestly, there isn't anything I CAN do.
Let's talk about parenting while living with complex feelings and trauma. We can talk about our own need for emotion regulation as well as our children. Do you have a complex kiddo? 👋 This is the space to talk about it!
Although I am not a mental health professional - I've had 50 years of experience working with my own emotions and a lifetime of therapy and therapeutic modalities I've learned. So let's talk about it - what questions do you have? I am an open book when it comes to my traumatic experiences and my healing journey. 👋 Note: although this is a space to talk about our mental health, we will not be discussing the specifics of trauma including abuse and suicide attempts. We can discuss our feelings on these topics but not descriptions. Thank you for keeping this space safe for everyone to participate.
I created the When Not Yet Becomes Right Now podcast after being a guest on Parenting and Mental Health podcasts and realizing I was telling my story of holding off on my healing journey until my brain said "Right Now." There are so many stories similar to my own of pushing off a journey that they want to share with the world. You can find the podcast on your favorite podcast platforms, on our website and the video on YouTube.
