Compassion Fatigue

You’re kind, compassionate, and caring—toward others.

You say yes to others when you want to say no.

You say no to yourself when you want to say yes.

You put everyone else’s needs first.

You’re last on your list. 

I’ve been there. 

If you’re weary, exhausted, or discouraged, I understand.

Being a parent is so much harder than you imagined. The sleepless nights. The endless worries. The anxious questions. If only you could do more for them. 

If only they would sleep.

If only you could sleep. If only you weren’t so tired.

Then there are the unexpected tantrums, meltdowns, and disruptive behaviors—including yours. Time alone is a distant memory. Someone always needs you. 

The days are long, yet the weeks fly by, and your To-Do list is never-ending. This isn’t the family you expected. You’re not the parent you expected. It’s nothing like you imagined. Your world has turned upside down.

If you’re experiencing

Fear, anxiety & worry

Secondary or vicarious trauma

Discouragement, hopelessness

You may be experiencing Compassion Fatigue.

It’s a cycle of stress, anxiety and overwhelm that can lead to exhaustion and burn out. There is hope.

What if responding to your child’s needs is an invitation

to embark upon a healing journey of your own?

If their traumas have become your traumas…I can help

If your child has a history of trauma

Parenting children with a history of trauma is hard.

It’s tumultuous, exhausting, draining. A journey of heartache and hope.

 Children from hard places need a soft place to land. Sometimes parents need a landing place, too.

If you landed here because you’re parenting children with a history of trauma, you’ll find trauma informed resources on my Classes & Workshops page for the challenges you face every day.

When everyday life is overwhelming . . 

I’ll show you  practical tools that will be right at your fingertips, any time, day or night. They’re simple enough for a child to learn, yet profound enough to change your life.  They’re every day tools that change lives every day.

If you’re parenting a child with a history of trauma, your child’s unresolved issues will challenge you to address your need for self care. I can help.
