Understanding Trauma and Parenting
Parenting can trigger unresolved traumas from one's own childhood, often revealing deep-seated fears and insecurities that had been suppressed. Many parents, despite having no overt memories of trauma, may feel anxious and overwhelmed when caring for their children, indicating that past pain is influencing their present experiences. This realization can prompt introspection, leading to the awareness that emotional responses to parenting situations might be rooted in unresolved issues. Recognizing these triggers is the first step toward healing and fostering healthier relationships with one’s children.
