The identity crisis (Parenting the Parent with Dr Rebecca Ray)

Many parents, especially those with young children, find ourselves so caught up in the day-to-day that the other parts of our identity are subsumed. This can have a big impact on how we see ourselves outside the role of carer: as a sibling, a friend, a daughter, an employee or a lover. We might not have the time or the energy to devote to these relationships that we once did and feel less connected to our former, pre-parent selves.   Dr Rebecca Ray and Shevonne Hunt talk about the shifting sense of self that parenthood inevitably brings and how we can reclaim what’s most important to us.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
