Dr Emily is back in our favourite little corner of the internet (A Little More Imperfects) to answer as many questions as she can, asked by you guys, about the topic of parental burnout.
Dr Em explores through these questions the themes of overwhelm, anger and rage, and identity, and well as taking Hugh, Ryan and Josh through the conditions that may lead to parental burnout.
Most importantly Dr Emily guides us through how, in the trenches of burnout, we may be able to offer ourselves some compassion and work our way out of it.
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who submitted a question, and as always, thank you to Dr Emily.
Ciao!
