When Autism Is Tearing You Apart

Do you ever feel like you're failing as a mother or like you're seriously going to 'lose it'? Are you looking for a fast and simple way to turn that around and feel like you're winning at mothering?

This conversational and compassionate book will explain why mothering a child with autism is so hard, based on my research, why you feel traumatised, and what you can do about it using proven transformational solutions.

It can be incredibly difficult to keep it together when your child is either having a meltdown or a shutdown and not have one yourself. What do you do with that rage when you go to the school yet again, because your child has been bullied? You might feel lonely and excluded yourself from social gatherings because of child's behaviours. It's tough!

I totally get it. I'm also the mother of an adult child with autism and an intellectual disability, as well as being a psychologist.

In this book you will learn:

·        Why caring for your child with autism can be traumatising

·        How to be courageous and do what you know is best for your child

·        How to be confident, trust your intuition and, not be intimidated by anyone

·        How to calm your nervous system, emotions, and reactions, especially in stressful  situations

·        How to find compassion for yourself and diminish feelings of guilt, shame, and failure

·        How to stay calm, even during your child's meltdowns

·        How to stop having meltdowns yourself

By understanding yourself you will quickly be able to introduce the small changes outlined in this book to create significant change for yourself and your family.

What's stopping you from taking the small steps towards to transforming your experiences from fear to courage, shame to confidence, chaos to calm and frustration into self-compassion?
