<![CDATA[Facing FASD]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/facing-fasd Facing FASD is the podcast for parents, carers, and professionals supporting children and adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Hosted by Anna Webster, coaching psychologist, trainer, psychotherapist in training, and founder of Neurowise - a therapeutic coaching and training company for the FASD community, Anna is also a parent of a child with FASD.

For too long, FASD has been overlooked, misunderstood, and often mistaken for - or hidden behind - trauma and attachment difficulties. This podcast exists to change that. Anna talks openly and honestly about the realities of raising and supporting someone with FASD: the brain-based differences that shape behaviour, the exhaustion and dysregulation caregivers live with every day, and the shame and stigma that keep so many families from getting the understanding and support they need.

If you're parenting, caring for, or working with someone with FASD — and you've ever felt like you're doing something wrong, or like you're the only one struggling — this podcast is here to tell you: it's not you, and you're not alone.

New episodes explore therapeutic caregiving, brain-based difference, caregiver wellbeing, and building a community that truly understands.

Anna is also a parent of a child with FASD.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why standard therapeutic parenting often falls short for FASD
  • Why FASD needs to be treated as a primary consideration, not a side note to trauma and attachment
  • Why caregiver needs matter as much as the child's, and why generic self-care advice isn't enough
  • Why space and distance can be a safe, legitimate parenting strategy for FASD - not a failure of closeness
  • Why facing FASD directly, rather than avoiding it, is where the real hope lies

Anna also answers listener questions from carers on the topic, including how her SPARCS model's idea of "space" fits alongside more traditional therapeutic parenting advice.
