The Place We Find Ourselves #82: Parenting: How Your Story Is Affecting Your Relationship With Your Children

Adam Young
Podcast
Connection With
Kids

Can you relate to the following? Your child says something or does something and you lose it. Or you freeze, or you walk out of the room. Your body is triggered and goes into a different physiological state, and you feel out of control. Sound familiar? Well, you are not alone! The majority of us have done this, and according to Adam Young we will continue to do this, because the past isn’t dead – it’s still alive in our bodies.

In this episode you will begin to understand what is happening neurobiologically as you parent and what to do when you begin to realize that your past is actually causing you to harm your own children. I (James) want to encourage you – Young is a wise and safe guide for your journey and provides great hope.
