If your child’s tantrums trigger a deep sense of overwhelm, fear, or even rage, this episode is for you. As a mom with a history of emotional neglect or narcissistic abuse, you may be parenting from survival mode without even realizing it. In this episode, I explore how unresolved childhood trauma shows up in motherhood and why your nervous system responds to your child’s big emotions as if they’re a threat. Understanding these trauma patterns is the first step in breaking the cycle.
In this episode, I talk about:
- How emotional neglect from a narcissistic parent resurfaces in parenting
- Why moms experience fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses during their child’s meltdowns
- The hidden trauma behind mom rage, people-pleasing, and emotional shutdowns
