then you end up getting yourself into a bit of a spiral, I think, where you're kind of criticizing yourself. And I think it's okay to make mistakes as a parent and do things that you wouldn't normally want to do. And then it's okay to kind of repair that and say sorry if you want to or need to.

You know, if it's ruptured the relationship with your child in some way, then it's okay to say, do you know what? You know, I'm really sorry I shouted then. I felt really angry and I'm going to try harder next time. Yeah. That doesn't mean you don't hold the same boundary that you were holding necessarily. But you, you know, Dr. Becky Goodman does that brilliantly. She's over in the States.

I think she's in New York. And she talks about that kind of, you know, being human, but not being afraid to say sorry and repair anything when you've when it's gone wrong. Yeah.

Yeah, because I think there's probably a little bit of stuff online where it sort of almost demonizes anger as a parent or frustration, that you're not supposed to feel any of that or show it. And I think, you know, if your child never sees you experience those emotions, then they have no template for how to experience it themselves and how to deal with it.

It will feel like this is the, you know, the emotion I'm not supposed to have and, you know. And so it's okay to kind of feel those emotions yourself express them in the healthiest way you can. And because they won't do what you say, they'll do what you do.

Yeah, it still blows my mind a little bit. I mean, I worked in the NHS, the National Health Service here in the UK for about 10 years. And and then once I had two of our now three children, I realized I can't do all of this. Not well, anyway. So I started a really small private practice.

I had a therapy room that was in our garden and I would just kind of see people around school hours and stuff like that. And at that point, that was when I had a really nice kind of balanced life. And I just noticed all these people that were coming through for therapy that didn't really need long-term therapy.
