[featuring Kamry Stanford]: When I originally conceptualized this episode, it was going to be one hour discussing the impacts of both familial and intimate relationship trauma. The more I thought about the two experiences separately, the more I realized I had too much pain to try and squeeze into 60 minutes of content. The Trauma & Healing has been broken into two separate episodes for you. In this Part 1 episode, we focused on family. Specifically, the impact our parents and how their relationships with one another and us impacted our upbringing. How we communicate, process pain, trials, and tribulations, accomplishments and honestly how we view the world and what's considered "normal" is largely based on our parents. I'm not sure which matters most, nature v. nurture, but it all plays a significant role in our identity and orientation to the world. In this episode, get ready to unpack and address some things that have shown themselves as 20 somethings, being raised by Baby Boomer and Generation X parents. We'll also be talking about healing and how we've been actively working with our parents to build better relationships and futures as a family.
