Caller Jared and Kaitlyn's Question: "We know we have wounded our son, how do we facilitate his healing?

(Kaitlyn here) I just listened to your episode about reclaiming your heart and felt like every word was spoken to me. I ended the episode needing more and having lots of questions about helping our own kids with this. Our son is 9 years old and definitely is suffering from childhood trauma and father wounds. We can see it in him, and are trying everything we know and have learned from our own therapy to help him work through it all. He is such a smart and capable kid, but shows up disconnected and unconfident. We feel like we have pretty healthy attachment with our other kids, but for some reason he is really struggling and lives in the drama triangle with a lot of anxious attachment. We know this is such a vital time for him in his life and we are trying to help him build some confidence and shame resilience, where do we go from here....…?"

Caller Pete's Question: "I feel like many of the recent podcast have been directed at me. I am in recovery from sexual addiction. I have recently been released from probation and now have 10 years of sex offender registration. My wife had stayed with me through most of it, but left me after I let her down on my commitment to give up a hobby. I struggle with her boundary around that hobby as I don't see any direct relation to my addiction and the trauma I'm sure that she's been through. She took our kids and moved states away and we really do not talk anymore. I have struggled with my recovery since she left. I have a lot of resentment towards her for this, but I also feel a ton of shame around my actions, and our separation. She has set a boundary asking me to give up this hobby (collectible "toy" cars), and I am having difficulty committing to this. With our separation we have both anchored ourselves further in our ideas. What can I do at this point to work on repairing our relationship...…?"
