Here’s what’s on the agenda:

• A journal article about how mental health in parents can affect the entire family

• A recent article about dealing with emotional detachment in families and a few tips on how to deal with it

• 9 affirmations for being a good parent

A study revealed that at least 12 parents reported changes in communication, role performance, and affective involvement within their families during times of mental illness compared to wellness.

We all know that parenting can be a wild ride, but what happens when mental health concerns come into play? A recent study published in the Journal of Family Therapy explored just that!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Fourteen parents with depression and/or anxiety were interviewed about their family functioning during times of mental wellness and illness.

🤔 The data was analyzed using a family functioning model, and four themes emerged: enjoyment of parenting, mental health concerns as a barrier to parenting and family interaction, psychological outcomes of parenting with mental health concerns, and incentives to focus on parenting and family functioning.

🤯 At least 12 parents reported changes in communication, role performance, and affective involvement between times of mental illness and wellness. Some even noticed changes in family values and norms!

So what does this mean for our readers? It's important to recognize that mental health concerns can impact not only the individual but also the entire family. By seeking support and focusing on family functioning, parents can work towards creating a positive and healthy environment for themselves and their children. Let's break the stigma and prioritize mental wellness for the whole family! 🌟

EMOTIONAL DETACHMENT: LET’S GET YOU CONNECTED BACK TO YOUR FAMILY

Unhealthy behaviors like miscommunication and lack of boundaries can lead to feeling disconnected from your family. This can lead to emotional detachment which can include disappointment from unmet expectations, poor communication, abuse, neglect, and differing values or lifestyles.

Here’s what that means in a nutshell :

• Coping with emotional detachment involves practicing self-acceptance, seeking professional help through therapy, and engaging in regular and open communication with your family.

• Other tips for dealing with emotional detachment include gaining an understanding of their values, being patient, addressing unresolved conflicts, spending quality time together, and showing appreciation and forgiveness.

• Identifying the reasons for detachment can help you address the issues and work towards healing and improving your relationship with your family.

• It's important to seek support from a mental health professional to guide you through healthy coping techniques and breaking the trauma cycle.
