Therapy for Mothers of Children with Autism.

Orange County, CA.

Your life changed when you learned that your child has autism. You now worry about things that others don’t. Planning a family outing is an ordeal, and even though your child has made progress, the possibility of a tantrum makes you so anxious that you can barely enjoy any gains your kid has made.

Parenthood Is Overshadowing Your Relationship

Every interaction with your partner is about your child. You cannot remember the last time you felt like yourself. The burnout becomes more real every day and lately, you noticed that you have been crying more because of feelings of loneliness and overwhelm.

Your Friends Don't Get It

Your friends are empathetic and support you, but you cannot connect with them in the same way. You find yourself thinking that there’s not much you can share with others besides what dieting, OT, Speech, and Behavior therapy could do for a child with special needs.

You Always Feel Exhausted and Guilty

You feel relieved when your child is at school or working with the in-home therapist, yet you cannot stop feeling guilty for craving a break from your child.
