The Truth About 'Gentle Parenting'
In this episode, I explore the subtle differences between gentle parenting and peaceful parenting. While peaceful parenting focuses on a non-violent approach, gentle parenting aims to create emotional connections, which can lead to pressure and feelings of inadequacy for parents. Through personal anecdotes, I illustrate how children reflect adult behaviors, emphasizing the significance of active listening to prevent escalated meltdowns. I discuss the evolution of parenting strategies, cautioning against overly permissive interpretations of gentle parenting that lack necessary boundaries. I critique societal pressures and the expectations created by social media, suggesting that a “sturdy parenting” model offers a balanced approach. This framework encourages genuine listening while maintaining parental authority, ultimately fostering healthier family dynamics and equipping children to navigate their emotions effectively.

Why You Attack Yourself! Listener Question
In this episode, I examine the complexities of social anxiety linked to internalized critical voices from parents. Using a metaphor of facing a bully, I discuss how self-attack emerges as a defense mechanism against childhood abuse. I emphasize the need for open conversations with parents and the importance of therapy in navigating these issues.
I also propose reframing inner critics as protective forces rather than adversaries, advocating a healthier self-relationship. I conclude by outlining a tripartite approach to healing that involves addressing external criticism, reshaping our inner narratives, and fostering self-kindness, encouraging listeners to pursue their own paths to healing.
