Description
Somehow we've reduced the role of the father as a "birth support person" and then in fatherhood as the "provider" or the "helper".Yet dads go through their own transformation and identity shifts when they become a parent. Over the last few years, I've had dads ask me about their own support and I've come to realize just how much that is missing in today's birth and parenting communities.We wonder why the male counterparts are unable to connect with their emotions or be more vulnerable while also not giving them space to be nurtured and supported in their own transition into parenthood.In this episode we discuss Dads Arising and the space it's creating for dads who are becoming aware of their desire to better understand themselves and their partners, as well as their connection to their child.
