Destructive Parents: Weathering The Storm As An Adult |
|
How would you describe your childhood?
Would you describe it as traumatic, unhappy, and/or confusing? Perhaps you would describe it as all three. If so, you are not alone. Research has identified the importance of all infants and developing children having an appropriate, warm, and loving attachment to a mother figure during the developmental years. Without an appropriate, warm, and loving parental figure, children are likely to develop multiple personality, emotional, and psychological difficulties. For many of my clients, the absence of a loving parental figure has resulted in an increase in psychiatric symptoms, school and academic difficulties, fear of abandonment, and many other challenges. In this video (new series), I will be discussing the emotional, psychological, and traumatic experience of being raised by an unhealthy, toxic, and emotionally damaged parent.
