Gloria Zhang, MA
About this episode

When you lost your father's love, you also lost your mother.  In today's mind-blowing episode, I break down the unique dynamic of having an absent father and a depressed mother at the same time. I discuss how this "double wound" impacts your body, mind, and spirit, and how to break free from these painful patterns.
