As parents, we wanted to give him what we never had...A certain situation activates the nervous system and cues the body into flight, fight or freeze mode.
Parenting is tough, but add the weight of past trauma, and it can feel like an uphill battle. In this episode of 'A Mile in My Moccasins,' Kayla Gordon and Susan Beaulieu open up about their struggles to be the loving, supportive parents they aspire to be, especially when their kids display anger or distress. The conversation dives into how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have shaped their parenting styles and triggered their own trauma responses.
