Emotional Awareness for Parents of Autistic Children No. 1

Send us Fan MailEmotional Skills Series. Podcast 1In this episode of Living Inspired With Autism, Antoinette begins a powerful new series on emotional skills for parents of autistic children.As parents, we often move through life feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, reactive, guilty, frustrated, sad, anxious, or just “not okay.” But many of us were never actually taught how to understand what we are feeling, especially while raising a child with additional needs.This episode focuses on the first emotional skill: identifying your emotions.Because “I feel bad” or “I’m stressed” is often only the surface. When you learn to name what is really going on, whether it is sadness, fear, grief, embarrassment, helplessness, frustration or resentment, you begin to create space between the emotion and your reaction.Antoinette shares personal stories from her life with Max, including moments that many autism parents will recognise deeply. She explains why emotional health is not about being happy all the time, but about learning how to experience the full range of being human without judging yourself for it.This is not about fixing your emotions. It is about becoming aware of them.And awareness is the first step towards calm, emotional strength and self-leadership.If you are a parent who often feels overwhelmed, anxious, guilty or emotionally drained, this episode will help you slow down, check in with yourself, and begin building the emotional vocabulary you need to support yourself and your family differently.Antoinette is also offering once-off one-on-one coaching sessions for parents who want help working through a specific situation, emotion or challenge in their life right now.
