Uncover the hidden dynamics of parenting with me, Keri, and my guest Catherine DeMonte, a seasoned marriage family child therapist. Together, we venture into the world of shadow work, revealing how childhood labels like "too sensitive" can affect your adult interactions with your children. Drawing on insights from thought leaders like Brené Brown, we promise to illuminate the path to nurturing the full spectrum of emotions in your children. By understanding these profound connections, you'll gain the tools to transform your parenting journey into one filled with healing and growth.
Explore the spiritual dimensions of parenting as we discuss the power of mindfulness and self-compassion in raising highly sensitive children. With wisdom passed down from a special ed teacher grandmother, we highlight the significance of encouraging emotional expression. Through personal stories and reflections, discover how to shift your mindset from viewing parenting as a challenge to embracing it as an opportunity for personal development. This episode is packed with insights to help you build healthier, more resilient connections with your children while learning to be kind to yourself along the way.
