Episode notes

The impact of events on individuals, especially children, is not the event itself but the story they tell themselves about the event. This narrative is what becomes encoded in their body and memory. This understanding is crucial in therapy as it shows that by remembering events in a different way within a safe relationship, memories can be altered, even though the events themselves remain unchanged.

Dr. Becky Kennedy shares the crucial life and parenting skills you need but didn't get taught on regulating emotions, setting boundaries, and the best sentence you can say when a partner tells you something difficult.

This episode applies to EVERY relationship in your life, not just your kids.

Get ready to parent more effectively with less stress, repair after a disagreement, regulate emotions, and unlock the next level in all of your relationships.

Dubbed the “The Millennial Parenting Whisperer” by TIME Magazine, Dr. Kennedy is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be. She also hosts “Good Inside with Dr Becky,” the top kids and family show on Apple Podcasts.
