Could you use some good parenting advice and tips?
Are you struggling with pain, shame, and anger leftover from your childhood wounds?
There are many books on recovering from the trauma of child abuse but not many that focus on the job of parenting afterward. Geanne Meta is the author of Parenting Well After Childhood Abuse. A groundbreaking, self-help book that reinforces the importance of healing the damage to be the best parent you can be.
While the subject might be challenging, Geanne uses humor throughout the book. Especially in the parenting scenarios. She offers useful tips whether you came from abuse or not.
Parenting is hard. It's even more challenging when you had a crappy childhood. Of course, you don't want to do what was done to you but it's easier said than done.
While there's no quick fix, Geanne’s work gives encouragement to seek help and a roadmap of steps to take. Her story sets an example of transcending the harm done in childhood to reach a life full of hope and healing.
In this episode, she talks about healing ourselves and the journey to become whole.
Geanne lived with the pain of childhood sexual abuse but didn't seek help until she became a parent. She went from small victim to resilient survivor by working on the root causes of her shame, denial, pain, and anger.
Valeria interviews Geanne Meta who besides being an author, she is a proud mom, sister, wife, grandmom, friend, animal rescuer, pretty good cook - and also, a childhood sexual abuse survivor who isn’t afraid to talk about it. She has a passion to share her story in hopes of helping the multitude of others who suffer in silence.
