In this conversation, Lisa McNett and Debbie Dickey explore the complex themes of responsibility, generational trauma, and the emotional weight carried by those who feel compelled to care for their parents.
They discuss the unconscious patterns formed in childhood that lead to a sense of obligation to fix family dynamics, the cultural influences on caregiving roles, and the importance of self-agency in making conscious choices.
The dialogue also delves into the challenges of forgiveness, self-acceptance, and the necessity of setting boundaries while navigating familial responsibilities.
Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes the need for self-prioritization and the reclamation of personal agency in the face of generational expectations.
