Helping our Kids Through Trauma Can Trigger Our Own Abuse Part 3

Real Talk with Tina and Ann

When our own childhood traumas resurface in the role of a parent, the journey takes on a deeper significance. In the intimate space of this episode, Ann shares the story of her son's struggle at school, an ordeal that brought forth her buried yearnings for protection and understanding. This isn't just a narrative about the challenges we face; it's a celebration of the unbreakable bonds we form with our children.
The dance of affection within our families can be tricky, especially for those with past traumas. . We discuss communication, self-forgiveness, and the individual needs of each family member.
Finally, we turn to the frontlines of parenting—the advocacy for our children's emotional well-being within the school system. Ann gets personal about the difficult choices made to defend her son's happiness and zest for learning. As we unpack the distressing incident with his teacher, we highlight the power of trusting our parental instincts. This episode is for every parent who's ever fought for their child's well-being and also had abuse, themselves.
