Episode notes
Mum Installs The Buttons
- Mothers can trigger us because they 'installed' our childhood buttons and interact with our inner child.
- Recognising those triggers helps separate past wounds from present choices and responsibility.
Parenting Is Intergenerational
- Parenting is intergenerational: parents parent as they were parented, not from perfect manuals.
- The 'good enough mother' model accepts imperfection and aims to improve across generations.
Family Roles Are Changeable
- Families assign roles (rescuer, scapegoat, hero) that aid survival but can trap adults later.
- Therapy lets you renegotiate and change your family role gently with self-compassion.
