SUPER DADS
Being a Dad can often seem impossible balancing work, home, and then the kids; it feels like there are too few hours and by the time you’ve got home from work or the washing’s done they’re fed up, hungry, and ready for bed.
And then what about you? you need food, exercise, friends, and all you feel like doing is going to bed.
Lets not forget your partner, she needs you too, and you her. How is this all possible?

As a result of this you get ill, shout at the kids, wife, dog, who ever gets in the way, or opt out; get home late from work, nip into the local pub, flirt with other women. Maybe this is accompanied by feelings of guilt, inadequacy, anger, depression; feeling trapped.

The one to one sessions and group offers a safe place to talk and explore the thoughts and feelings brought up by being a father, and look at where your behaviour comes from and how you would like to be.
These sessions offer a place to express your frustrations and difficulties, as well as your strengths and resources; when life is difficult we often miss the thing we are doing well.
Also to share skills, tools, resources, and experiences in a non-judgemental environment, where the common ground is becoming a father.

Sharing the trials and joys of becoming and being a father can build confidence; you are doing well. Allow the release of pent up emotions, there for be able to connect and be present with your children in a safe and boundaried way. Give yourself and your family permission to feel, let go, and enjoy the experience of connection and growth. Allow the space to care for your self, your partner, and your children.
