Are Guilt and Shame Holding You Back from Being the Mom You Want to Be?

In this episode of "Mamahood After Trauma," host Emily explores the emotional burdens of guilt and shame that trauma can leave on mothers. She explains the difference between guilt and shame, encourages self-compassion, and shares grounding techniques like 5-5-7 breathing to manage difficult feelings. Emily emphasizes that these emotions are signals for healing, not punishments, and promotes her book, "Breaking Free Parenting in the Midst of Trauma Recovery," as a resource for recovery.
