55. If You Were Born Before 2025… You Have Childhood Trauma

June 15, 2025 • 17 mins

Oftentimes, it's “good parenting” that results in the most trauma to the child. Kids don’t need someone to tell them who to become, what to believe, and how to live their lives. In fact, overparenting can sometimes be worse than neglect. Why...
