#6: Release GUILT About Blaming Your Par...

Gloria Zhang, MA
About this episode

Do you feel guilty or "ungrateful" when you think about how your parents contributed to your childhood issues?   You're not alone, this feeling can prevent you from acknowledging what really happened to you! In today's episode I explain what's actually happening unconsciously, and a step-by-step Inner Child exercise to help you RELEASE guilt and responsibility.

Episode Highlights:

  • Why guilt is a trauma response, and how to self-validate while still holding others accountable for their actions
  • How I used to feel guilty about blaming my parents because of what they went through as immigrants and the sacrifices they made for our family
  • Listen 'til the end as I walk you through a powerful Inner Child visualization exercise to release those feelings of guilt and responsibility

Hey bestie! My mission is to help High-Achievers and people-pleasers heal their Inner Child and find healthy love, especially those who desire an extraordinary connection but often struggle in their relationships.
