“I grew up in a split household and each parent had their way of shaming, control, and fear to manipulate the behavior of my brother and me. It felt normal, it was never abusive, and just was their parenting style. The shame I feel all the time at work, in my personal life, and in my parenting is sometimes paralyzing.
My wife turned me on to this pod/insta/booklets as we got stuck at home for the last year. There were problematic interactions of me parenting like I was parented with control and manipulation, and that’s not the relationship I want with my kids and I don’t want them to suffer with the shame I feel. Listening and working is really shifting and rewiring my brain to be more connected to my kids. It really is an eye opener, and by no means am I perfect at it, but I’m moving in a positive direction.”
