This week, Jake and Bob continue their conversation about the wounds that can form between parents and children. They discuss how legitimate human needs can become disordered when we no longer trust that those needs will be met and how these wounds can then quietly shape the ways we relate to our spouses, children, friends, and parents. Bob shares how his mother's childhood wounds affected him and how his own protective responses later surfaced in his marriage. Jake also reflects on his relationship with work, his struggle to receive help, and discovering the ways he unknowingly carried patterns from one generation to the next. Recognizing these patterns in our own lives can open the door to greater freedom, healing, and deeper relationships.
