Finding Resilience Through Mindfulness For Parents

My guest this week is Rev. Mantu Joshi, an author, minister, and instructor on disability at Western Michigan University. He is the facilitator for Family Foundations at the First United Methodist Church. He has been a resident chaplain with the Oregon Burn Center and Randall Children’s hospital, and has appeared numerous times nationally on NPR. He is author of the popular book, “The Resilient Parent: Everyday Wisdom for Life with Your Exceptional Child”, which ADDitude Magazine has called one of the eight most important books for parents.

In this episode, Mantu and I discuss how parents can find resilience through mindfulness, especially for those who have children with special needs, sensory issues or disorders. Mantu offers personal insight as a special needs parent and enforces parents with the confidence, tools and tips they need to acknowledge and accept their feelings. Parents often place the needs of their children above themselves, disregarding their feelings out of guilt leading to heightened anxiety and depression.
