My partner and I have learnt about ourselves and each other and our relationship by doing your Aware partnering in Parenthood course. The way it is structured is really helpful to get clearer together about why we are choosing to aware parent and how we can do it in a more connected way. The part of the course that explores the impact of our childhood on our parenting was a real revelation to both of us. We have noticed that using many of the strategies that you recommend has brought our family closer together. The section where you describe the basics of Aware parenting was also really helpful as it had been me who had been doing all the reading and learning up till this point. The reflections at the end of each section were also really powerful and we have now started having regular meetings each week to reflect on how things are going and how we want things to be. Thank you so much for this really helpful course.
"Thank-you so much for the amazing course over the last couple of weeks. You made the class feel so safe and welcome. You tied all the aware parenting concepts together for me and filled in some gaps that I had. The way that you answered our questions with so much love and empathy is such a beautiful gift. I especially enjoyed the breakout rooms where we could share our reflections with other participants. I’d highly recommend the course to anyone wanting to know more about aware parenting. Thank-you for sharing your incredible knowledge with us."
"Joss is an amazing listener. I have seen several therapists over the years and none have welcomed my feelings as much as Joss does. I feel deeply held and understood in our sessions. She not only creates a sense of safety but also provides encouragement and ideas to further support myself without triggering shame or making me feel that I am not doing enough. Her understanding of Aware Parenting runs deep. It is clear she has taken in the principles and has practiced them for many years.
I thought I understood how to offer loving limits, but with Joss' gentle guidance, a lightbulb went off and I was able to practice loving limits far more effectively. This led to profound experiences while my daughter was learning to use the potty. My daughter had the maturity, knowledge and everything she needed to go for it but something was holding her back. Joss helped me and my husband offer her loving limits and we discovered so many feelings under the surface of our bright and thriving girl. We watched her go into positions that mimicked her birth and she cried and raged for many hours with us over the course of 6 weeks. It was challenging to be with all her feelings, but we could see a shift after each big cry. She was lighter, more easy-going, chatty and had no signs of resentment that we offered her a loving limit. Best of all, she started using the potty of her own free will! We didn't have to bribe her or force her and now we trust her more than we did before because we understand there are real reasons for her resistance to things.
I highly recommend working with Joss if you have your own feelings coming up or if you would like help with parenting challenges."
I attended Joss’s Aware Parenting workshop and had so many aha moments with aware parenting but also a deeper finding of myself. Joss sat in deep compassion with me in this space. Joss you are a wealth of information and made me feel so deeply seen and heard.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and kindness with me.
So grateful for this wonderful workshop on the weekend. Thank you Joss. I remembered our why and I am feeling inspired. Everything is learning. Learning is living and being together
Joss is so insightful and covers lots of interesting ideas with her guests that add to the experience of Aware parenting. Her voice is also quite soothing. Great evening listening!
I just adore listening to your beautiful podcast episodes. Thank you so much for all the work you do. The way that you ask questions and present the information is so helpful and the way that you listen is really inspiring. Thank you for everything that you do in the world.
I am really enjoying your podcast. Thank you for this wonderful episode which I plan to share with my partner. I love how simply the information is presented- perfect for someone who is new to these concepts. My partner is really keen to get on board with aware parenting and I was struggling to find something that gives a good broad overview. This episode is perfect! Thanks again and keep up the great work
Thank you thank you for your beautiful podcasts. The right one and topic just seem to show up in my life at the right moment! I just loved the chat with Linde, it was beautiful and just hit home in many ways. Hearing your voice also has a lovely grounding and calming energy, so thank you!-
Something deeply resonated with me from the beginning after listening to Joss's podcast and hearing her passion for both Aware Parenting and natural learning. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to have Joss support me. Joss has supported me through specific parenting concerns I needed advice on, as well as delving into my own personal stories and reparenting journey. I can't speak highly enough of Joss and everything she has done to support me and my family on our journey so far. She is warm, kind, compassionate and patient. Her capacity to hold space for me has been amazing to experience. She is a wealth of knowledge and her passion for both Aware Parenting and natural leaning is so clear. Thank you Joss for all you are and have done, it's truely appreciated.
I’m going to do Joss Goulden’s aware parenting with teenagers course. As her friend and colleague and fellow Aware Parenting instructor, I have witnessed her relationship with her teenagers, and I am always in such awe and wonderment of the relationship she has co-created with them. I see how she lives and breathes Aware Parenting with her teens and embodies the teachings of the Aware Parenting approach with such depth and beauty. However long we have been practising Aware Parenting for, I think we can always learn more and dive deeper and refresh on things we already know. I recommend Joss's course so highly to anyone and everyone, whether you’ve been practising Aware Parenting for 20 years as I have, or whether you are brand-new to it.
