Having another child as a highly sensitive or neurodivergent person, with Natalie Brunswick

Do you want another baby, but not sure if you can cope with it all again?
Perhaps you're highly sensitive, or neurodivergent, and it was all too much first time?

In this episode of the Pause Purpose Play podcast, host Michaela Thomas is joined by Natalie Brunswick, a trauma and perinatal therapist, to discuss the complexities of deciding whether to have another baby after experiencing a difficult first journey - especially if being highly sensitive and neurodivergent.

They delve into fears rooted in past trauma, the balancing act of desire to have another child, versus fears of not being able to cope, and the importance of self-compassion and robust support systems.

The conversation emphasises the distinct needs of neurodivergent parents and the critical role of emotional healing and preparation in making informed parenting decisions.

Resources and strategies are shared to help listeners navigate their own parenting journeys, no matter where they are in the decision-making process.
