How to Manage Your Co-Parenting Anxiety in 3 Easy Steps: with guest Dr. Jenny Yip

With co-parenting often comes anxiety for both parents and children. In this episode of The Moving On Method, Michelle Dempsey-Multack and Dr. Jenny Yip discuss the complexities of co-parenting, particularly the anxiety that arises from sharing children with an ex-partner. They explore the nature of intrusive thoughts that many parents experience, especially during times of stress, and provide practical strategies for managing these worries. Dr. Yip emphasizes the importance of separating personal emotions from parenting responsibilities and offers tools like the 'Lean Shift Flex' method to help parents navigate their feelings. The conversation concludes with resources for further support and the introduction of Dr. Yip's book, 'Hello Baby, Goodbye Intrusive Thoughts.'
