How to be a good parent when you are depressed?
What is a good parent? Is there different demands or expectations on us as parents when we are depressed?
In this episode I explore depression both from the child and the parent perspective.
Good parenting has a lot of presence, authenticity, honesty and transparency in it as I see it, and I explore ways how to be all that when we are depressed.
I think it's time to realize that depression is more common than cancer and what our children have experienced now during the pandemic can actually reduce our fear and stigma around depression.
Let's talk about it!

The Sustainable and Long Term Solution to Handle Covid
If the vaccine is the quick fix, what is the long term solution?
To live well.
Stress and anxiety suppress our immune system, and the best way to fight Covid, or rather, to handle and cope with it, is to strengthen our overall health.
A good mental, physical and emotional health makes us less vulnerable, moves us out of risk groups and prepares us for an eventual life crises.

The Covid Vaccine andOur Freedom to Choose
DISCLAIMER 1: The sound is not perfect!
DISCLAIMER 2: These are my personal standing points
In Todays episode I share where I stand in the vaccine mandate situation and what forcing people against their will does to them.
Covid is a proof of how trauma, fear, stress and anxiety supresses our immune system, and to violate people when they have a firm NO inside is abuse.
If you have a big YES to the vaccine, take it, and respect the ones who has a big NO inside. Don't push their boundaries, as this causes major stress and trauma. Be kind. See the other side. Walk the talk you teach your children.
Listen and share with the ones you feel need to listen.

Does Separation Decrease our capacity to feel Joy for Life
In this episode I inquire into our ability to feel joy for life when we lose people we love. For every loss, do we change inside, does something essential become affected, or do we still have the same capability to feel joy for life without these people? Our "normal" assumption is that someone else will come along and we will be happy again, but is that true? Can we feel the same amount of joy for life, to be alive, with separation happening?
Join me in my inquiry and comment on my Instagram @shama_persson, I love to hear what you think!

Family constellations
I just listened to the episode on family constellations, and as a clinical psychologist who studies and treats families, this episode was very biased toward the estranged parent (unsurprising, since the host is that parent). It’s important to remember that the parent must change - to wait for the child to return, you have to show the them that it’s safe to return. The idea of one being “superior” or that the child should “bow down” can be a weapon that parents use against their children. I hope this was just a translation issue for Shama, since these words connote a serious power imbalance - that of a master to a servant. I see this dynamic in my practice all the time. These sentiments can very easily be used to minimize the child, their feelings, their experiences. Parents must remember: you had a life before your child. Your child has only known life with you in it. That responsibility should come with a great sense of humility, which is something that was absent from this episode.
Your dishonesty is mind blowing
You have taken advance of your daughters success in such a selfish and embarrassing way. What a disgrace you are
Amazing podcast
Shama has a beautiful way of speaking to my soul! I relate to her so incredibly much.
Thank you for sharing, Shama!
