Finding out your child has a diagnosis like DMDD, ADHD, anxiety, or other mental health diagnosis can feel overwhelming. One moment you’re standing on steady ground, and the next it feels like the floor dropped out from under you. In this episode, I’m sharing the very first steps you can take to steady yourself, find hope, and begin building a plan forward that works for your child and your family.

Here’s what you’ll take away from today’s episode:

• Why those first emotions after diagnosis matter more than you think
• A healthy way to process grief, guilt, or comparison without getting stuck
• How to choose just one area to focus on so you don’t feel overwhelmed
• Simple shifts that help you see your child through a new, hope-filled lens
