Are you feeling burnt out? You're not alone.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding roles we’ll ever have, but let’s be honest: it’s exhausting, overwhelming, and at times, completely depleting. This week on The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast, we’re talking about something many parents experience but few speak openly about, we are talking about Parental Burnout.
In this episode we are joined by Dr Carrie Haywood our Clinical Psychologist Expert to help us unpack what burnout looks like in parenting, why it happens, and most importantly, how to navigate it.
We discuss:
What parental burnout is and how is it different from just regular stress or exhaustion
What the specific signs or symptoms that indicate a parent is experiencing parental burnout are
What parental burnout does to a person’s mental health or how does it impact emotionally, cognitively, or even physically
Dr Carrie’s thoughts on modern parenting and the rise of parental burnout
What causes burnout
Personality traits or parenting styles more prone to burnout
Differences between mothers and fathers when it comes to burnout
What to do if you realise you have burnout
Some healthy coping strategies for managing and/or recovering from burnout
Dr Carrie’s advice for parents who feel like they’re “just surviving” every day
