Episode Highlight: How Family Loyalty Might Be Keeping You Stuck

This clip from Episode 17, “Help! I’ve Become My Parents!” Highlights the tension of “honoring our parents” and being honest about our experience. Listen to the full conversation here: https://watershedinitiative.com/theworkwithinBeing honest about the negative experiences you had with your parents can feel like you’re dishonoring them. So instead of telling the truth, it’s easier to pretend everything was fine. But that comes at a cost. Blind loyalty can keep you from telling the truth about unhealthy patterns and painful experiences you went through.  And the reality is, we can’t heal something we’re not willing to acknowledge. Breaking old patterns and creating new ones for future generations means being willing to do the hard work of staring down the cycles of generational sin and trauma that have been passed on to us. It is possible to honor and be honest about our parents. Chapters00:10 — Can You Honor Your Parents and Still Tell the Truth?01:02 — Why Family Loyalty Keeps People Stuck03:28 — Holding Honesty and Compassion Together04:06 — The Jenga Tower of Family of OriginHosts / Guests Dieula Previlon, LPC-S: Founder of ElevateHer International Ministries, Licensed Professional Counselor and Ordained Minister Dr. Ly Tran, LPC-S: Founder and Lead Executive Director of The WELD Group, Licensed Professional CounselorJohn Lin, M.Div: Director of Partnerships, Watershed Initiative & Executive Director, Sweet Deeds FoundationReady to do the work?
