From Falling Apart to Finding a Path: Separation Support with Psychologist Katrina Streatfeild
“By the time a separation occurs, family members are often already exhausted.” In this episode, Megan sits down with Katrina Streatfeild , principal psychologist and founder of Streatfeild & Co Psychology in Lancefield, to discuss the emotional realities of separation and the value of proactive mental health support to foster resilience and well-being. Together, Megan and Katrina explore why the process of emotional recovery can be so unpredictable, the benefits of maintaining solid self-care practices, and the importance for parents to “put their own oxygen mask on first” so they can show up effectively for their children. Katrina shares expert insights on supporting children through the confusion and guilt they can experience during family separation, why kids sometimes feel pressure to be a different version of themselves in each household, and what parents can do to reduce those risks. Throughout the conversation, Katrina provides simple and practical ways to look after yourself and your children when everything feels up in the air. Learn more about Macedon Ranges Family Law
