Episode 6
In this episode we are deep diving into shame. If you have felt embarrassed about your baby's diagnosis or your baby's behaviour then you are not alone. We are taking hints from Dr Brene Brown's work which informs us that shame thrives in secrecy, silence and judgement.
So. as you listen, we'll be doing exactly the opposite, together!
Parental acceptance of the child's neurodivergent body and nervous system lays the foundation for self-acceptance, self respect and self esteem as the child grows and develops. You will learn a simple affirmation to address the embarrassing feelings whenever they come up. Listen to this episode to overcome parental shame and champion your neurodivergent child!
