We'll use CBT, therapeutic play, and child development tactics to better understand his triggers and yourself as a parent.
You’re buckling your toddler into his car seat as he screams bloody murder. What horrible atrocity did you commit that caused him to melt down like this? You made him wear shoes, but he wants to be barefoot like The Hulk. You monster. It would be funny if it weren’t so frustrating. These tantrums are happening with greater frequency. Dropping him off at school when he’s like this fills you with guilt. You’re terrified that your parenting is somehow to blame for his behavior, and you worry about his future. You’ve tried everything you can think of to make some change; punishments, rewards, threats, pleading. But nothing works.

I get it. Deciding to go to therapy can be a tough decision. We’ve become conditioned to believe that therapy is for “other people” and just not for us. Often times, we were not provided the tools we needed to handle our emotions which can leave us feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious and alone. I encourage you to take the time to emotionally invest in yourself so that you can nurture happy, healthy relationships with yourself and those close to you.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
