Do you feel like you're still having to take responsibility for your son or daughter's sense of happiness - even though they're grown up?
Maybe you find yourself stepping in and rescuing them from their problems; bailing them out financially or giving up your own time and needs to be there for them. You want to encourage them to be more independent, but then it's hard to say no when worry and guilt gets in the way.
It's that constant push-pull ...
They back off, wanting space, but then keep coming back needing your help. While in turn, you give in out of guilt, but feel a bit resentful about having to sacrifice your needs now that they’re grown up.
You’re stuck in this push-pull cycle and it seems never ending.
If this feels familiar you're not alone
It's a very common experience for parents of adult children. This relationship is deeply unique. It needs special care to make the transition from the old parent-to-child roles, into a more balanced, adult-to-adult relationship.
In this 2-hour workshop:
- I’ll help you set boundaries that actually work, and find ways of communicating with your adult child that won’t turn into arguments or shut-downs - so that you both feel more valued and heard. Plus, I’ll teach you simple techniques to help you get past the emotions that often compel you to rescue; such guilt, anxiety, and worry.
There's something truly magical about the group experience
In the small, intimate group, you’ll be able to meet other parents who understand exactly what you're going through. You can share your experiences and give each other feedback and support. - By the end of the workshop you'll have guidance and tools to help you have a more equally balanced relationship - so that you can remain the supportive parent, they become more empowered, and you have space for your own needs.
The next workshop is coming soon. Join the waitlist and I'll let you know the time and date.
