Jerry Wise pulls back the curtain on why healing your inner child is non-negotiable for personal transformation and family health. With profound insight, he challenges the common dismissal of inner child work as "psychological mumbo jumbo," revealing how our childhood programming silently sabotages our adult relationships. Jerry shares a touching story about asking his adult son's permission before showing physical affection, demonstrating how true family connections aren't built on ownership but on respect and healthy boundaries.
Drawing from decades of experience, Jerry explains the powerful concept of "self-differentiation" alongside inner child healing—two critical practices for breaking generational patterns. He illuminates how we unconsciously become our parents to our inner children, perpetuating cycles of hypercriticism and self-sabotage. This wisdom offers listeners a roadmap to finally stop fighting themselves in their careers, finances, and most importantly, their closest relationships, creating a legacy where adult children genuinely want to maintain connection not from obligation, but from authentic love.
