Why You Overreact as a Mom – 412

About this episode

This episode explores the reasons behind overreactions in parenting and encourages self-compassion.

Have you ever reacted to your child and wondered afterward, “Why did that feel so big?” The thing they did was small. Your reaction was not. This week, I share the story of a mom in my program who had a huge reaction over a tray of sliders. She came to coaching convinced she knew exactly why she’d reacted. She was only partly right. Minutes into our session, we weren’t talking about sandwiches anymore. We weren’t even talking about her son. We were talking about a pattern that began decades earlier. In this episode, I’ll show you how we got there and why it matters if you’ve ever had an overreaction you couldn’t explain. If your reactions have ever left you feeling confused or ashamed, I hope this episode helps you understand yourself with a little more compassion.
