Description

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...     2:25 - Awareness and acceptance of the situation is your first step.   3:30 - Whether or not your ex is a narcissist, if you don't feel your co-parent is able to properly support your child emotionally, these strategies we offer will apply for all of those situations, too.   5:54 - Finding the delicate balance between not projecting your own feelings or "bad-mouthing" your co-parent to your child, while also not white-washing your child's feelings or gaslighting them either.   8:01 - How to use reflective functioning to help empower your child to cope when they are resistant to wanting to spend time with their other parent.   13:50 - Intentionally adding in elements for fun and delight in your own interactions with your child to help create security in your relationship.     ✨We want to hear from you!
