Why am I so angry? Parenting SOS with Dr Caroline Boyd

À propos de cet épisode

<p>On this month's Parenting SOS, we’re joined by Clinical Psychologist and expert on maternal rage Dr Caroline Boyd.</p><br><p>Anger is a natural response to the overwhelming demands of motherhood in today’s society. Many of us feel pressure to be supermums - calm, coping and in control at all times - and were raised to see anger as a ‘forbidden’ emotion for women. This often means our feelings stay simmering under the surface, until we reach a breaking point.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Caroline shares her insight on what happens to us when we’re angry, how can we move through the emotion, and letting go of the inevitable guilt that comes after an angry reaction.&nbsp;Gi and Caroline also touch on the different contextual forces at play&nbsp;that shape our responses to anger. These social contexts are numerous and varied for every individual, often including&nbsp;important identities such as race, class and sexuality, which influence how we feel and express anger.</p><br><p>Plus, we answer some of your questions, including how to manage anger towards your partner, keeping your cool when overstimulated, and identifying burn out.</p><br><p><br></p><p><em>Caroline offers a self-paced anger course for mothers (USE THE CODE “HMHB” TO CLAIM YOUR £100 DISCOUNT):</em></p><p><a href="https://dr-caroline-boyd.mykajabi.com/maternal-rage-sign-up" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dr-caroline-boyd.mykajabi.com/maternal-rage-sign-up</a></p><br><p><em>Download Caroline’s FREE GUIDE on how to handle partner rage:&nbsp;</em></p><p><a href="https://dr-caroline-boyd.mykajabi.com/3rs-free-download" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dr-caroline-boyd.mykajabi.com/3rs-free-download</a></p><br><p><em>Caroline’s book, Mindful New Mum: A Mind-Body Approach to the Highs and Lows of Motherhood, is available to buy online </em><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mindful-New-Mum-Mind-Body-Motherhood/dp/B09QQVTCTM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SGG0WYDXIHUZ&amp;keywords=mindful+new+mum&amp;qid=1664803286&amp;qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjQ1IiwicXNhIjoiMS4xNCIsInFzcCI6IjEuMzcifQ%253D%253D&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=mindful+new+mum%252Cstripbooks%252C129&amp;sr=1-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Amazon</em></a><em>,&nbsp;</em><a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/mindful-new-mum/caroline-boyd/9780241531365#:~:text=Mindful%2520New%2520Mum%253A%2520A%2520Mind,and%2520Lows%2520of%2520Motherhood%2520(Hardback)&amp;text=Feel%2520empowered%2520to%2520become%2520the,adjust%2520to%2520your%2520new%2520role." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Waterstones</em></a><em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;</em><a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/books/mindful-new-mum-a-mind-body-approach-to-the-highs-and-lows-of-motherhood/9780241531365" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Bookshop</em></a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
