MOMENT | A new way to free yourself from unnecessary guilt

This Moment is with Dr. Becky Kennedy. She is a clinical psychologist, mom of three, and founder of the incredibly popular Good Inside.When she first started out, she practiced a popular behavior-first, reward-and-punishment model of parent coaching. But after a while, something struck her: those methods felt awful — for kids and parents. So she got to work, taking everything she knew about attachment, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and internal family systems theory, and translated those ideas into a new method for working with parents.I hope you find this Moment supportive, and if you want to catch the full episode, click here.
