EVENT SPOTLIGHT

Join Ann for this exclusive weekend workshop where you'll receive meditations, guided practices, journaling prompts, and more — designed to help you decide what you really want as you connect to your inner truth.

Through a variety of exercises, you'll explore and come to understand the many feelings associated with making this decision — in a judgment-free, structured environment to help you determine what your next step will be to know the right choice for you. Learn more here.

Do you feel stuck when it comes to deciding whether or not to become a parent?  

Be guided step-by-step through Ann’s proven method deepened through meditations, mentorship, and live teachings — to uncover your inner truth and discover what’s right for you.
 

As you think deeply about whether to become a father, it can be hard to figure out what you actually want

Do you and your partner have different opinions about whether to
become parents?

Do you wonder what your life would look like with a family — and whether you can have the life you most want?

Perhaps deep down, you’re not sure whether you could be the kind of father you’d want to be.

Or maybe you feel that “you’re supposed to” want to become a parent or it’s what others expect from you…

Or you feel like you have to decide right now — and you’re worried you’ll make a decision, then regret it.

Not being able to decide if you want to be a father is more complex than your external circumstances.

Is the Fatherhood Clarity Course for You?

 

If you've ever wondered...

  • Whatever my partner wants will be fine with me. I can go either way!
  • I’m scared about never having time for myself and then resenting my child.
  • My partner wants children and I don’t, but I don’t want the relationship to end over this.
  • I’m an 'only son'. If I don’t have children the family name will end with me.
  • I’m afraid I’ll be like my father.
  • My parents want grandchildren.
  • We’ve decided to have children/live childfree. But I wish I felt more excited about that decision.
  • I never imagined I would not want children. But with the world as it is, now I think I want to live a childfree life and my partner wants children.
  • Everybody says I’d be a good father. Does that mean I have to be one?
     
You're in the right place.
As you’ll discover, there’s no correct answer — there’s only your answer.

 THE FATHERHOOD CLARITY COURSE

The Fatherhood Clarity Course™ is based on the original groundbreaking program, Motherhood — Is It For Me?™ co-created in 1991 by Ann Davidman and Denise L. Carlini. It's designed to assist you in reaching a deeper understanding of any ambivalence or neutrality you might feel so that you can take the next step.

Ann is not invested in whether or not you become a father. She’s invested in assisting you in an interactive group course format, so you can experience all of her wisdom as you arrive at the best decision for yourself.

Ann has spent countless hours listening to the heartache of men who, just like you, want to know they’re not broken — and who long for guidance toward answering their most life-defining question.

These men were not broken, and neither are you. With compassion and understanding, Ann will help you end the cycle of fatherhood indecision and move into a state of inner clarity...

You’ll feel empowered to confidently and lovingly say goodbye to what will never be, as you say hello to your future.

ANN'S BIO

Psychotherapists Ann Davidman and Denise L. Carlini created the program, Motherhood — Is It For Me? in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1991 to provide a resource to women experiencing ambivalence about motherhood. So often, these women felt shame or judged about their indecision. Ann and Denise created support groups that allowed women to explore the issue free of judgment and discover their heart’s desire about whether they wanted to become mothers or live a childfree life. Ann and Denise led the groups together for 10 years.

In 2000, Ann Davidman began helping individual women and men find
clarity about whether they wanted to be parents
through her private

psychotherapy practice in the San Francisco Bay area. She now offers her Motherhood Clarity Course™ and Fatherhood Clarity Course™ to individuals and groups in her online course.

Ann Davidman, MFT, is a licensed marriage and family therapist, Parenthood Clarity Mentor and author. She received her graduate degree from San Francisco State University and is a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT). You can read more about Ann here.
