In this episode of the podcast, I really enjoyed talking to Megan Clinton. Megan is a relational Gestalt Psychotherapist, Energy Psychologist, Gestalt Play Therapist and Aware Parenting Instructor. She offers healing, integration and transformation to women seeking to change the world, be that through parenting, business practice or relationships of any kind. She offers one to one sessions, workshops, programmes and memberships to guide individuals and groups to feel and heal life experiences.

Megan shares how she came across Aware Parenting and how it immediately made sense to her in light of her understanding about psychotherapy for adults. She describes how unhealed trauma repeats and comes up again and again in our life to be healed, how our children touch many of the unhealed parts of us and how painful and difficult it therefore is to practise Aware Parenting. We talk about the need for self-compassion in parenting because it is overwhelming and exhausting at times for us all and how we all need support and listening to process our trauma. Megan explains what trauma is and how to start processing it, as well as the profound impact on the world of us parenting in this way. She shares how attachment play supported her daughter to heal from school trauma and we talk about offering loving limits and how to support ourselves in that process.
