I Was Not Able To Cope With My Childrens' Emotions

When we first connected, I needed support with coping with the death of my father, managing three kids, being a full-time working parent and my mother moving in with me.  

I was feeling a lot of frustration and rage about not being able to do things the way that I thought they should be done and about not being able to cope with my childrens’ emotions and lability. 

I had never worked with a coach before and was hoping for insights into why I react the way I do as well as how I could change. Before our first session, I was apprehensive, which certainly changed with time. 

Since coaching, I have found an increased ability to stay calm, to allow space for my children's naturally labile emotions and to accept that their lives are not my life. I certainly still have explosive moments but these have decreased significantly. 

I surprised myself the most during the series with my newfound willingness to cut back on work obligations.  

My biggest learning was that who I am and the way that I interact with the world is directly related to how I was parented. Thank you!
