55. Stop reacting as your Inner Child: How to heal your Relationship with your Parent(s)

If you say you’re ‘over’ your parents but still get triggered, shut down, over-explain or feel like a reactive child in seconds - this is the parent wound.In this episode, we break down how you’ve been wired to react from your inner child - where you had no power, no boundaries & had to manage emotions to stay safe - instead of leading from your adult self. You’re not ‘too reactive’ or ‘too sensitive’ - your body is still running patterns built in childhood, where you learned to tolerate, adapt, seek approval & hold onto hope that they would change. This shows up as feeling responsible for their emotions, reacting instantly then replaying it later, over-explaining to be understood, staying in dynamics longer than you need to & holding onto potential instead of responding to reality. This episode will help you understand the pattern, how your ego & inner child are blocking you from leading from your adult self, and what actually needs to shift so you can stop reacting from the past.Stop waiting for them to change & learn how to reset your relationship with your parents so you can take your power back.Timestamps:04:00 Ego insecurity & how it blocks you 06:20 Inner child triggered reactivity 10:21 The heavy grief of breaking generational cycles 12:22 Clearing past emotions, pain & trauma you carry that keep you stuck 14:10 Resetting your perspective of your parents 16:45 Reparenting yourself & your core wounds 20:44 Modeling change in your relationship with your parents 23:07 Communication & setting boundaries to break the cycle 27:00 Taking back your powerThe Health Hun InstagramClick here to book a free call with OrlaThis episode covers: parent wound, emotional triggers, inner child, reparenting, boundaries with parents, generational patterns, emotional regulation, self-leadership, relationship dynamics, nervous system conditioning
