The Myth of Perfectionism and Motherhood - SOLO EPISODE
09/22/20 • 34 min
ep. #13
Coming back from hiatus, I take this episode to dive into motherhood, a topic I have worked with for many years, as a therapist, a RIE-trained facilitator and as a mother! Like many moms, I struggled with the "myth of perfection", especially the first couple years of being a mother. I thought, "If I can be perfect, maybe my baby wont experience pain, disappointment, fear, etc"
Shifting to a more relational style of parenting, when I found RIE, helped me see that the most important goal of motherhood is raising people who are prepared to be in healthy relationships.
I share more about which metaphors and resources I look to now for a model on how to be in balance and in respectful relationship with all beings.
I also announce a giveaway, very special and dear to my heart. Please head over to my Instagram to enter the give away, which closes on Thursday at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern

Resources for Infant Educarers
Liz Memel was the teacher of our RIE classes
