For better or worse, how we parent is naturally influenced by our own childhood experiences. Some things we want to recreate because they made us feel good as children, and some things we feel strongly about doing differently. How we approach parenting is deeply rooted in our early experiences. Thinking about your own childhood can help you become more aware of the meaning behind your reaction toward your own child. Making sense of our own past, processing and creating a narrative of our experiences is critical in how we relate to our kids.
In today's episode Sepideh Hakimzadeh, MA/LMFT from Whole Mother Therapy joins Karen to talk about the importance of breaking generational cycles when raising children. From how siblings are treated to trauma, Sepideh and Karen discuss the many ways our own childhood affects our parenting, why it is hard to undo, and tips to do just that.
