Parenting & Relational Fatigue

Parenting is one of the most rewarding experiences, but it can also bring emotional and physical exhaustion, especially when balancing personal, family, and work responsibilities. Over time, this can lead to relational fatigue, where the demands of caregiving and maintaining relationships leave little energy for self-care or connection with others. As a therapist, I, Cristina DaSilva, understand the challenges that parents face in these situations and provide a space to explore the impact of relational fatigue on both your emotional health and your relationships. Together, we can identify strategies to reduce stress and create a healthier balance in your life, so you can feel more energized and connected with both your children and your partner.

Relational fatigue often stems from the constant giving and the emotional toll of trying to meet the needs of others without replenishing your own energy. Therapy can help you find ways to nurture your emotional well-being while also managing your responsibilities as a parent and partner. By setting healthy boundaries, improving communication, and practicing self-care, you can create more meaningful connections in your relationships. With the right support, you can reduce feelings of burnout and restore a sense of balance, allowing you to be a more present and fulfilled parent and partner.
