3:36 Parenting as a Path to Healing
In this episode, Susan explores one of the most powerful truths about parenting: that the most important thing we can do for our children is to work on ourselves. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Gabor Maté’s insight and her training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Susan explains how our emotional state, unresolved wounds, and inner “parts” profoundly shape our children’s sense of safety and connection. She shares simple, compassionate ways to notice when we’re triggered, name the parts that get activated, and return to our calm, wise “Captain” self. https://go.susanstiffelman.com/parenting-as-healing-podcast
