If you could find a way to reconnect with your true self, would you?
And if you could understand your own needs and practise the sort of comforting and energising, hits-the-spot self-care that would power you through the ups and downs of parenting in a neurodiverse family, would you be tempted to explore that too?
This journal provides a warm sense of community where you will feel completely held as you discover how to regulate and centre yourself and how to enliven your life beyond your role as a parent or carer through journaling prompts and imaginative activities designed specifically for this parenting experience.
Kind, insightful and uplifting, Wide Open Spaces also unpacks how you can come to understand your child's dysregulated behaviours and communicate in a way that makes your life easier.
It leads you, cheerily, in the direction of peace and a more balanced and fulfilled family life.

Press Reviews
Emma Marlin, Psychotherapist (MBACP Accredited)
Lou Fearn is the wise, perfectly imperfectly Mum every neurodivergent child wishes their parent could have a cup of tea and a quick chat with - and now they can!
Lucy Gillett, Children's Occupational Therapist (BSc and MSc), Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and parent of a deeply feeling child
If you parent or care for a deeply feeling child, then this is your next right thing. It supported me to think, do life and rest in a way that's helped us all.
Crispin Taylor, Retired Head of CAMHS
An exceptionally well written, moving and informed read where the personal anecdotes were incredibly sensitively written and honest. Short chapters with opportunities for reflection, practical steps and useful resources. Ideal for a busy parent.
