Trauma is defined as an emotional reaction to a traumatic incident or experience such as abuse, freak accidents, natural disaster, etc. As individuals, each of us have our own trauma. We may not see it or feel it on the onset, but these can manifest in our adulthood or even as we become parents.
We all have emotional baggage as individuals and understanding them is the key to becoming better individuals and especially better parents because these childhood wounds from the past will not just affect us. Rather, let these negative experiences inspire us and make us stronger.
This episode is full of wisdom, knowledge, and tips about healing and emotional health. It was a joy to have Hilde Wiemann on the show, a certified family and relationship coach to talk us through childhood wounds and family healing sessions. She will be sharing with us what she has experienced from the beginning of her childhood and how this affected her way of parenting and understanding her children.
We will be tackling how keeping yourself healthy and emotionally stable, healing your family, the importance of communicating with your children, how big events eventually create traumas, and the importance of time, touch, and talk. We’ll also touch on some points about different parenting styles, detachment, identifying our traumas, two things that drive us to bad behavior, and the goal of generational healing.
This family healing session is wonderfully essential for those that are ready to take responsibility and clean up the emotional junk they may be holding on to. So whether you’re a teenager, an adult, or a married individual, this episode is a must-listen for you.
