Overcoming Anxiety and Perfectionism from Toxic Parenting: Self Development tools for Mental Health

This episode is inspired by a chapter in Susan Forward's book Toxic Parents, The god like parents. I explore the family dynamics of shame, control, dependency, identity, differentiation from the family system, and the tasks that we can engage to grow up and out of this dysfunctional dynamic. What happens when highly sensitive people grow up with god-like parents who dominate and control every aspect of their lives? I delve into this dynamic, exploring the emotional and psychological impact on self-worth, autonomy, and personal growth. Learn effective strategies to reclaim your power, set boundaries, and overcome people-pleasing tendencies. This insightful discussion is essential for anyone seeking to heal from toxic parenting, build emotional resilience, and foster a healthy, independent identity.
