Talk it through with Rabia
Your child has special needs and you're overwhelmed and alone
The appointments, the fighting for services, the worry that never sleeps — and the loneliness of a road most people around you do not understand. You love this child with everything you have, and you are so tired, and some days you wonder how you will keep going.

1:1 with RabiaWith others (a Pod)
Inner work of grief and self-compassion (guidance) plus practical team-building (knowledge). Involves a support community.
How the two dials adapt to you →What’s really going on
What you carry is enormous, and the loneliness of it is often the heaviest part. Let me say the things few people say to you: it is allowed to grieve the child you pictured while loving the child you have; you cannot and should not do this alone; and comparison to other children will only break your heart. Find your team, learn your child's own yardstick, and let the wins be the ones that are real for them. There is joy on this road. Let us make room for it.
