When people talk about someone having mommy or daddy issues, these issues tend to be thought of as the child's issues, but it's important to remember that the parent is usually the one causing them. In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen discuss the phenomenon of 'Parent Dragons', which is when you hold on to past traumas, fears, and anxieties that originated out of relationships with your parents, and why it's so important to understand how and why these issues manifest in your brain.
