Overwhelmed? What’s really going on and how to cope

"Overwhelmed? – What’s Really Going On and How to Cope"

If you’ve ever felt like you're constantly on the edge, snappy, drained, or just unable to cope—this workshop is for you.

This session is about understanding that feeling overwhelmed isn’t a failure—it’s your brain responding to stress in a completely human, biological way. You’re not broken, a 'mess', or "too emotional"—you’re wired for survival, and modern life is pushing your system to its limits.

Led by a parent-child mental health expert (and fellow mum), this supportive and practical session will explore:

• What’s actually happening in your brain and body when you feel overwhelmed
• Why guilt and self-blame are common—but misplaced
• How understanding the science behind your stress response can reduce shame and empower change
• Simple, grounding strategies to help you reset in the moment
• Practical tools to build your resilience day-to-day
• A warm, non-judgmental space to connect, reflect, and feel a little less alone
