The family that we're born into is perhaps the single most important factor in determining our life trajectory. A toxic parenting style or a toxic caregiving environment might look like and some of the impacts, but also how we can move forward. We want to take a strengths-based approach during these episodes. So let's get straight into it. What exactly is toxic parenting as opposed to healthy, secure parenting and a healthy, secure childhood environment? At the end of this episode there will be a discussion about what we can do to navigate our adult relationship with parents.
In this episode we discuss the characteristics of toxic parents and the impact they have on our development and adulthood. We dive into narcissistic parental abuse, intergenerational trauma, overcoming a toxic upbringing and how to establish boundaries.
