Description

One of the biggest parenting taboos that remains is talking about anger in motherhood. This is what we’ll be addressing together in this talk, where you will learn about the social and cultural context that gives rise to your anger, how to deal with anger in the moment and with our children, and why your individual experience of anger is connected to a bigger cultural story about modern day parenthood. We’ll debunk the myth of the perfect mother, learn about the anger-guilt trap, and you’ll pick up some tools for what you can do to start breaking the cycle and making a change. Come away knowing why so many mothers experience anger (that’s not necessarily because of our children), and how you can start using anger as a powerful tool for deepening your relationships and empowering yourself as a mother.
