At the Center for Growing Families, we believe that parents who address their own emotional needs are better able to focus on and enjoy the process of raising a family. Parenting can be a wonderful experience, yet feelings of joy are often accompanied by a great deal of stress. Many parents find themselves struggling with the following types of questions:
- I don’t feel like myself – will I ever again?
- Will my marriage/relationship ever be the same?
- Why am I so sad, anxious, angry...?
- Is it normal to feel apprehensive during pregnancy?
- How can I balance family, work, and a social life?
