Week Four:  Parental Anxiety & Painting Music


  • Good Shepherd Studios 15A Davies Lane London E11 3DR United Kingdom (map)

Do you find yourself overthinking, losing sleep, or imagining worst-case scenarios? Anxiety is the body's alarm system, designed to keep us safe—but as parents, it can sometimes go into overdrive.

In this session, we’ll explore:
Anxiety vs. Stress – How they’re different & why parents are prone to persistent worry
The Science of Anxiety – Why our brains jump to worst-case scenarios
Practical Tools to Manage Anxiety – Including the Worry Filter strategy, grounding techniques, and mini-breaks to prevent anxious spirals

The last 30-minutes we break from the mental load with a creative art activity—designed to help you step out of your parenting headspace and reset. For this session we will be using watercolours to paint to the sound of relaxing music used in soundbaths. You will be asked to switch off, empty your mind and just let the paint flow with the music!
