E21: The Invisible Trauma of Parentification, Boundaries & Sacred Anger with Grace McQueeny

from For Love We Heal Podcast · host Alex Bishop, RPC, RCT

In this episode, Grace and I candidly discuss our personal journeys with parentification, a hidden trauma and role reversal where children take on inappropriate adult responsibilities. We share how this experience shaped our roles as the family comedian and planner, and the emotional toll it takes, leading to things like people-pleasing, anxiety, depression, self-trust issues, and various other relationship issues. We delve into the importance of recognizing these patterns for healing, the role of sacred anger in reclaiming our identities, and the necessity of setting boundaries to foster self-rediscovery and healing.Book a Free Discovery Call (Therapy/Coaching) - https://forloveweheal.com/relationshipocd-therapy/Questions?
