When parent-child roles reverse, a phenomenon known as parentification occurs. This happens when a child is forced (consciously or unconsciously) to take on the responsibilities of a parent, emotionally or physically, often due to a parent's inability or unwillingness to fulfill their role. Parentification can have profound effects on a child's emotional development, relationships, and mental health.

Come join Dr Barbara to learn more about parentification, the two main types of parentification and how you can heal from "parentification wound"?
