Ep. 213: Resentment & Parenting

Resentment. We’ve all felt it.

Very little about this parenting journey has gone according to plan.

We’ve done the hard work- the never-ending work actually - of rewiring everything we thought we knew about behavior, what it means to be human, how to parent, and how to have a family.

Some days we do it without a second thought.

Some days are full of resentment and anger.

You aren’t a bad person. But resentment feels bad! 

In this episode, you’ll learn

• The very important job that resentment does for you
• A message that resentment might be trying to tell you
• The importance of staying curious - and not shaming - about the feeling of resentment

Resources mentioned in this podcast:

• When Parenting is Traumatic {EP 95}
• Grief in Parenting Kids with Vulnerable Nervous Systems {EP 129}
