Back in Control

Service Description

Back in Control is a live, structured six-week programme for stepmums who are done letting external drama run their internal world If one message can derail your week… If you replay conversations for hours… If you soften boundaries to avoid escalation… If you feel responsible for keeping everything steady… This programme is about changing how it lands in you. Not controlling the ex. Not fixing the system. Not over-functioning to keep the peace. Over six focused 90-minute sessions, we will work on building emotional steadiness, clearer internal boundaries and practical containment strategies inside stepfamily dynamics. Week 1 — Understanding Your Activation Identify what actually triggers you and why it feels so intense. Week 2 — The Control Shift Separate what is yours to manage from what is not. Reduce mental load immediately. Week 3 — Stopping the Spiral Learn simple, repeatable tools to interrupt overthinking and regulate in real time. Week 4 — Boundaries Without Guilt Stop over-explaining. Hold firm without escalating conflict. Week 5 — Ending Overfunctioning Step back from emotional over-responsibility without feeling negligent. Week 6 — Holding Steady Long Term Consolidate new response patterns and build a personalised steadiness plan. This is a live online cohort. Fridays 09:30 UK April 17 – May 22 Limited to 12 women. Live attendance only. No recordings provided. You will also be in a contained, thoughtful space with other emotionally intelligent stepmums who understand these dynamics without you needing to justify yourself. This is not a venting group. It is structured, psychologically informed work. If you are ready to stop walking on eggshells and start leading your internal world differently, this is your next step.
