Treehouse Family Counselling & BBMe
Show notes from the BBMe Podcast with Emma Holdsworth – Treehouse Family Counselling
Emma Holdsworth is a mother of two, Family Counsellor, Parenting and Breastfeeding Educator and Postpartum Doula with 20 years experience working with families.
Emma is passionate about supporting pregnant and new parents to feel empowered to become the parents they truly want to be. Emma supports parents to explore the deeper aspects of themselves and understand how their childhood experiences, past relationships, values, and beliefs will influence their future parenting experience.
Today Emma joins Joanne of Better Being Me and they talk all things Motherhood. Emma talks about the importance of the early days in developing communication with your child, from womb to birth the benefit of communication starts well before holding the babe in arms.
We discuss how much support is needed for both parents in preparing and being ready for a new baby. Also how much we are affected by the small humans and how often they bring up many emotions that we need to continually process in order to aim in being our best selves.

Some Transcript from the amazing conversation we had.
Emma Holdsworth – Treehouse Family Counselling
That’s what it’s almost feels as though it’s your instinct that you’re parenting from your instinct, because it’s the thing that happens most naturally, but it’s actually that is what’s been embedded into your bones.
Emma: Essentially from your own experiences. Your instinct is still in there, but that’s not the bit where later on you think. Oh, shit, I didn’t handle that, well, I wish that had have gone differently that’s when you go off that automatic thing that happens. that’s not my instinct. I think for so many parents, it just starts with an awareness. Because why would we think about this stuff? We just think I’m having a baby it’s going to be wonderful. I want a parent this way. So therefore I’m going to.
And that desire is important. But you just don’t really see or understand or have an awareness of how those things can get in the way until you’re in it.
The first thing that’s about to kick in, you better stop that one.
