The Special Needs Sibling Podcast

10. Feelings, Boundaries, Inner Work & Healing

Listen Later

As a sibling, there's a lot going on not only in your head, but also your heart and mind. There are so many people you care for and also people that you wish would leave you alone. Not only are boundaries important, but having your feelings validated and putting in the work to heal is also important. Check out this conversation with Mishka where we talk about a lot of these things!

  • How Charlene and Mishka met!

  • Mishka’s book (check it out on Amazon)
  • Inner work and healing
  • Things we internalized were our fault even though it wasn’t
  • Charlene talking about the core of the podcast
