The Inner Critics of Parenthood-Free Webinar

This free lunch break webinar introduces you to four inner critics of parenthood — the Anxious, Demanding, Guilt-Inducing and Punishing Critics — and explores how these voices can shape parent mental health and wellbeing.

Using a Core Needs Approach, the webinar will look at what may sit underneath critic messages and how they can be connected with emotional needs, previous experiences and coping patterns. It will explore how recognising these critics can help make sense of challenges such as anxiety, perfectionism, guilt, self-criticism, burnout and feeling “not good enough”.

The session will include practical ideas for supporting parents to notice these voices with greater awareness and compassion, understand what they may be responding to, and consider what might be needed instead.

Parent resources are included.

Suitable for professionals supporting parents during the perinatal period and beyond.
