Jul 28, 2022

This week on the podcast, I’m answering 3 of your questions! All of these questions relate to dealing with our parents as adults:

1. How do you cope with an internal critical voice that came from a parent?

2. What is the next step after recognizing that my parents were narcissistic?

3. Am I disrespecting my parents when I set boundaries with them?

I discuss:

—What is an inner critic?

—How do we retrain an internal critical voice?

—What beliefs do we take in when raised by narcissistic parents?

—What is trauma-informed therapy?

—God’s heart for healing

—Boundaries 101 principles as an adult with your parents
