Healing the Parent-Child Relationship
In this episode of triggered and true, we dive deep into the concept of healing the inner child, particularly in parents who unintentionally repeat harmful patterns of behavior. Often, these parents treat their children in ways that reflect how they were treated growing up. We explore the impact of this cycle and discuss powerful strategies for breaking it. Join us as we unpack how healing past wounds can create healthier relationships and allow parents to raise their children with love, understanding, and compassion. Don't miss this insightful conversation on transforming generational patterns and healing from within.
