You might feel you’re constantly balancing work, relationships, and the needs while trying to maintain everything.
Some days are rewarding and fulfilling, while others can leave you feeling drained or doubtful about your parenting abilities.
Some common challenges that are faced include:
– Experiencing feelings of being overwhelmed by responsibilities
– Finding it difficult to stay emotionally engaged while also trying to be “strong”
– Worrying about making mistakes or feeling inadequate.
– Balancing personal goals with family responsibilities.
– Issues in communication when expressing yourself
Counselling offers support to:
– Focus on what works and leverage your strengths.
– Shift negative thoughts, such as “I’m failing,” into positive, realistic affirmations.
– Set realistic parenting goals that reflect your values
– Create tools to manage stress and cultivate patience
– Reflect on your vision of the father you aspire to become.
You don’t need to chase perfection. Taking the time to pause and reflect fosters your confidence.
At Horizon Within, we aim to help you feel centred and empowered, strengthening your presence as you navigate life’s challenges.
