In this insightful episode of Conversations on the Porch, host Steve Twynham welcomes psychotherapist Bilyana Wharton to delve into the complexities of familial relationships influenced by past trauma. Bilyana shares her expertise in working with adults who have experienced childhood adversities and how these can manifest in their parenting styles, often resulting in parents emotionally regressing during conflict.
The discussion highlights the concepts of the "wounded child" from relational therapy, and how adults can inadvertently project their unresolved issues onto their children. Bilyana explains the significance of self-awareness and personal history in breaking generational cycles and shares strategies for parents to repair and prevent emotional ruptures within the family unit.
Join the conversation as Bilyana and Steve explore therapeutic approaches, including transactional analysis, to foster healthy adult relationships and create a safe environment for children. This episode serves as a reminder of the importance of recognizing and addressing the invisible struggles that can affect family dynamics and the well-being of children.
