How often do we consider the emotional image of a parent and the impact it has on a child's development? We had an incredible conversation with Stephanie Carlinia, a clinical psychologist and trauma specialist from the Netherlands, who provided valuable insights on this topic and more. From parentification to emotional immaturity, join us as we dive deep into the emotional aspects of parenting and their consequences on children.

Stephanie led us through a fascinating discussion on parentification and its symptoms, revealing how it can rob children of their joy and even lead to feelings of guilt. We also explored different types of emotionally immature parents, such as driven and passive parents, and the effects they may have on a child's self-worth and sense of security. Furthermore, Stephanie shared her thoughts on healing from parental rejection and the importance of becoming a better parent to our inner child first.

As we wrapped up our conversation, we touched on the concepts of reactive versus mature parenting, self-regulation, emotional safety, and the role of a therapist in the healing process. With her expertise and compassionate approach, Stephanie encourages us all to reflect on our own parenting styles and prioritize emotional well-being for both ourselves and our children.
