In this insightful conversation, we sit down with Suma Hodge, a Regional Clinical Director at MIKID (Mentally Ill Kids in Distress), to address the "elephant in the room" when it comes to raising kids: your own unresolved trauma. Suma explains how our past can directly affect our parenting, and why addressing it is the key to creating a healthier, more supportive home environment. We dive into how generational trauma manifests in everything from domestic violence to school behaviors, and discuss the profound, long-lasting impact of emotional abuse. A must-listen for any parent ready to foster empathy, break the cycle of harm, and support the next generation.
