Hey everyone, before we begin, I just want to remind you to please check out my new

No Bad Kids Master course.

You can find out all about it at nobadkidscourse.com.

Hi, this is Janet Lanzbury and welcome to Unruffled.

Today I'll be responding to the mother of a five-month-old who has made bonding with

her baby, her priority, since the baby was born, and now she would like to encourage

her to have independent play.

But she says her daughter screams when she's not being held or worn on this mom's back.

Parenting can be physically and mentally exhausting.

It's all consuming, right?

Yes, we love this work, but we're always on call, we give so much, we really have a moment

to think about our own well-being.

Most of the time we're making it up as we go along.

There's no road map, so we have to set our own boundaries to find balance in our lives.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, therapy can help.

I've used therapy from time to time, and it's allowed me to take a step back, regain some

clarity and confidence, and eventually become a better version of myself.

If you're thinking of starting therapy, give better help but try.

It's entirely online, video, phone, live chat, even text messaging.

Just fill out a short questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist.

If your initial therapist doesn't feel like a good fit, no problem.

It's easy to switch any time for no additional charge.
