Where To Find Dr. Robert Shire
Touched out, worn down and flinching when you hear “Mom!”
This meeting was a joint presentation by Olivia Bergeron, a psychotherapist and parent coach, and Dr. Robert Shire on addressing the physical and mental health challenges that many parents experience. Dr. Shire explained how stress manifests physically in parents, particularly in the form of back pain, neck tension, headaches, and jaw issues, and described his approach to treating these symptoms by addressing the underlying causes rather than just masking pain with medication.
Olivia shared strategies for managing stress and anxiety, including scheduled decompression time, breathing exercises, body-first grounding techniques, and recognizing physical symptoms as signals that need attention. They discussed the importance of finding providers who understand the unique stress of parenting and can address both physical and mental health needs. The presentation concluded with Olivia offering a new coaching program designed to help parents address specific challenges in a focused way.
