How Your Emotional Baggage Is Hurting Yo...

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

What hidden stories from your past are impacting your parenting today? What if the secret to better parenting lies within us? Today, I explore the profound idea of self-regulation and the underlying narratives that influence how we engage with our children.


I open up about a personal session I had recently with a client who is grappling with the complexities of raising a child with ADHD and ODD. Throughout this experience, we uncover how past grievances and unresolved pain can subtly hinder our parenting endeavors. Join me as we explore practical approaches to clearing these mental and emotional obstacles and find empowerment to evolve into a more attentive, compassionate, and connected parent.


In this Episode

  • Uncovering hidden stories affecting parenting behaviors
  • The importance of self-regulation in parenting
  • The impact of unresolved emotions on parent-child connection
  • Strategies for recognizing and addressing resentments
  • Practical tools for clearing mental blockages
