COVID-19 has placed unfounded economic and psychological challenges in our lives. Unknowingly, this pandemic has created a steady stream of stress that is trickling through our subconscious minds.
As hard as it seems, if there was ever a time to take control of our health and wellbeing, by placing priority on self care, it would be now.
If you are an exhausted parent who finds it difficult to consider making time for self-care, and is looking for advice other than cliche self-care that we all know and hear about all the time, then tune in, this chat is for you.
To help share her ‘Self-Care Tips for Exhausted Parents’ we welcome our special guest, Emma Diepenhorst: an Occupational Therapist who supports the health and wellbeing of parents, especially new parents.
Emma holds an impressive hatrick of qualifications that being a Masters in Occupational Therapy Studies, a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychology and Bachelor of Science (Psychology).
We ask Emma questions including:
- Why is it important than ever that parents put themselves first?
- How can parents use this time to establish and or improve on their self-care? Where do they start?
- How can parents find the time of day for self-care?
- How is your view on self-care different to the advice we often see?
- Is there self care advice that can apply to everyone? or is it a one size fits all approach?
- Can you tell us more about the concept of occupation?
- What is occupational balance? How do Occupational Therapists use this concept that can benefit parents?
