Between work pressures, financial worries, and the endless stream of advice from books, social media, and well-meaning friends, it’s normal to question whether you’re “doing it right.” For parents of deeply emotional or neurodivergent children, daily life can feel even more challenging. While there’s no such thing as a perfect parent, there are ways to reduce stress, regain perspective, and feel more confident in your parenting journey. Modern parenting brings unique pressures. Social media shows polished snapshots of other families’ lives, often leaving you feeling inadequate. Conflicting advice on sleep, nutrition, or discipline adds confusion. Work-life balance demands are high, and many parents no longer have the extended “village support” families once relied on. For children who feel deeply or are neurodivergent, routines can require extra patience and energy, leaving parents drained and questioning themselves. THE STRESS BUCKET In solution-focused hypnotherapy, I often talk about the “stress bucket.” Every challenge, worry, or emotional demand adds water: the rushed morning routine, school emails, sibling arguments, work deadlines, or sensory overload for your child. Normally, sleep helps drain the bucket, but constant stress can fill it faster than it empties. This often leads to irritability, anxiety, or guilt for snapping at your children. HOW I HELP PARENTS WITH HYPNOTHERAPY At HER Hypnotherapy, I specialise in helping parents like you reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, build resilience, and cultivate self-compassion. Solutionfocused hypnotherapy isn’t about digging into the past—it’s about noticing what’s working, building on strengths, and creating manageable steps forward. Together, we focus on realistic strategies for everyday life, whether that’s managing meltdowns, improving routines, or simply finding space to breathe. PARENTING DEEP-FEELING OR NEURODIVERGENT CHILDREN Children who experience emotions intensely or process the world differently often need extra support with regulation, transitions, or advocacy. It’s easy to neglect your own wellbeing while giving everything to your child. A calm, grounded parent is the greatest resource for their child, and through hypnotherapy, I help you stay composed, celebrate your child’s strengths, and refill your own emotional reserves. Parenting today is demanding, but you don’t have to pour from an empty cup. With personalised support from HER Hypnotherapy, you can feel calmer, more resilient, and confident. Parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection, presence, and creating a family life that works for you and your child.
