This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are answering your questions about childhood wounds. They start the episode with a question about what a healed person looks like and what their own healing journeys have looked like. Then they discuss how our childhood wounds do not always originate from our families; that some of us have deep wounds from friendships or other formative relationships. Emmalee and Jen share questions to help identify what wounds from childhood may be showing up for you today, and how to work on responding vs. reacting. They discuss the grief that can come in recognizing childhood wounds, the concern of offending your parent(s)/caregiver(s), why an apologetic parent doesn't mean the emotions surrounding our childhood wounds must go away, and so much more.
