@DrJessTaylor I’m so sorry your dad feels that parenting is too much for him. I learned from my own parent some time ago that ‘you can’t give what you don’t have’. In their case it was love, care and support. Turn towards the ones who give you these 💚
Feeling truly heard and understood is healing 💚

These conversations around trauma are giving those who are isolated in their healing journey an awareness that they are not alone. Every time someone speaks up & shares their battle of overcoming, they are offering a lifeline of hope to someone who thought they were forgotten.
Hey. I know it’s hard and confusing to talk about the wounds you got from your mother. I hope you know your mother wound is not a reflection of you. Your mother wound is a reflection of your mothers unhealed wounds. You deserved to feel safe then. I hope you are safe now.

The brain believes what you tell it. We make the mistake of thinking it is the master in our body, when it should be a slave to what we want. Then we are in charge of the patterns and habits we want.
Today’s outcome in Harvey Weinstein’s New York trial is the result of the decisions of multiple women to come forward to journalists and to prosecutors at great personal cost and risk. Please keep those women in your thoughts today.
