How past traumas affect us in our parenting…

Have you ever found yourself reacting massively to a small situation where all reactions were taken way out of context? As young children, we were regularly told to push our thoughts down and ignore them, time and time again but this doesn’t work. Past traumas come back up when you least expect it unconsciously in our parenting. They affect how we react to everything- stress, parenting, how you are with yourself. By tuning in and understanding what’s going on for you helps you in that moment, helps you to turn that switch off so you can become that Mum you dreamt of as a child. Being aware of how it shows up for you is paramount to you turning it around.
