Summary

This week, Anna is joined by clinical psychologist, author, speaker and campaigner Dr Emma Svanberg AKA the Mumologist, fresh off the press tour for her new book 'Parenting for Humans'.

In this episode of The Therapy Edit, they discuss Emma's One Thing: how we can look after our children when we still, at times, feel like a child ourselves.

Consciously or unconsciously, we all carry a small child within us and what we experience in childhood actually shapes and determines our entire approach to life as adults - and to the way we parent.

Dr Emma shares some brilliantly practical advice on how we can parent ourselves so that we're better able to deal with those moments in parenting where we feel vulnerable, overwhelmed, like a failure, so that we can bring calm to the situation and respond in a better way to the challenges of raising children.

We hope you find Dr Emma's words helpful.
