Why Did My Parents Make Me This Way? (And Can I Blame Them?)


Listen Later

In this episode I open up about how parenting can deeply affect our mental health, especially when it comes to toxic versus non-toxic styles. 

I'll share some personal stories about my own battles with feelings of abandonment and engulfment, and why it's so crucial to understand the trauma that can be passed down through generations. 

I'll also talk about how reconnecting with our inner child and practicing self-care can help us avoid falling into a victim mentality. 

Plus, we'll get into the tough but necessary topic of setting boundaries with our parents while still keeping those important connections strong. 

My hope is that these insights will help you break free from cycles of trauma and build healthier relationships with yourself and your parents.
