Parenting Through Chronic Pain
If you’ve ever wondered, “How the heck am I supposed to parent with chronic pain?” this live session is for you. This conversation will shine a light on what modern pain psychology has to say in response and will address your most pressing questions about the struggles of parenting through chronic pain.
What to expect:
Join Abigail Hirsch, Pain Psychologist (mother of four), and co-host Charlie Merrill, MSPT and Lin Clinical Advisor Pain Recovery Coach (and father of three) for a down-to-earth conversation loaded with practical wisdom about new ways to navigate the challenges of parenting through chronic pain. If you’re a parent living with persistent pain - this is for you.
Things we’ll cover:
- Is it better for me to pretend I’m not hurting in front of my kids or just keep it real with them?
- There are times when my whole body hurts when my two-year-old gently rests his head on my shoulder. I can’t shake the shame I feel about not being able to parent my kid the way I want to. It’s hard to know what to do next.
- I’ve been told that I should outsource more and bring in more help to the house. Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin.
