I'm Allie, an EMDR Certified therapist and mom of a toddler. Being a parent is hard enough without our own running dialogue and judgments telling us we're doing it wrong, or should be doing more somehow.

This leaves them depleted, irritable and on edge and wondering why parenthood is so hard. Moms who get triggered by their kids' tantrums, who get the urge to yell but hold it in, I see you. Moms who let the yell out and then are riddled with guilt and feel like the worst mother in the world, I see you.
