How to parent the child you have as the person you are with Dr. Emma Svanberg

This week's guest is Dr. Emma Svanberg. Dr Svanberg is an award-winning clinical psychologist, speaker and campaigner specialising in attachment, trauma and perinatal psychology. co-Founder of Make Birth Better CIC and Founder of the Psychology Co-operative, Emma aims to make psychology more accessible and question some of the assumptions we make about parenting, children, families and the world we live in. Throughout her work, Emma aims for parents - and all humans - to learn that the best solutions come from within. Her new book is Parenting for Humans. This book and Emma's work are all about us as parents. She teaches us in the episode how to explore with compassion and understanding what we bring to our parenting journey and how we can use that to gain confidence to parent our children and ourselves. Special thanks to our sponsors Athletic Greens My sponsor this week is Athletic Greens. I love AG1. I take it every morning when I’m making the girls breakfast. AG1 has over 7k 5* reviews and I can see why. It’s a supplement with 75 ingredients and its special blend is designed to support gut health, nervous and immune system, energy, recovery, focus and even aging. It’s one of my non-negotiables. It tastes quite nice and while I’m drinking it I’m reminding myself I’m worth looking after and that I can only be the mother and person I want to be in the world when I look after myself.
