How to Heal Childhood Wounds and Reparent Yourself— Big Talk with Dr. Dan Siegel

from Dear Gabby · host Gabby Bernstein

On today’s Dear Gabby, you’ll learn how to overcome childhood wounds and soothe and care for yourself as an adult. I’m sitting down with the revered psychiatrist Dr. Dan Siegel. Dr. Siegel’s books have miraculously shifted my relationship with my son—and my relationship with myself. Today’s podcast will teach you how to reparent yourself.   The following are helpful resources and books I mention in the episode:    My guest on today’s Dear Gabby is Dr. Dan Siegel! Dr Siegel is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and executive director of the Mindsight Institute. He’s co-authored some of my favorite parenting books, including No-Drama Discipline: The Whole-Brain Way to Calm the Chaos and Nurture Your Child’s Developing Mind and The Power of Showing Up: How Parental Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How Their Brains Get Wired.

The Momentum Marketing Podcast Jillian Kendrick For over a decade, I’ve been helping women entrepreneurs create a business that supports their income goals and their lifestyle. And I’m taking everything I’ve learned over the years, working with thousands of clients from all over the world and bringing it to you!If you keep doing the same things, you’ll stay in the same place you’re at. Business growth requires personal, professional, and relational growth that only comes from either experience or having a mentor to share it with you.The Momentum Marketing Podcast is dear to my heart. It’s the conversations and advice I wish I had a decade ago when I started my business. You’ll get real-world, practical advice and strategies to grow your business and take it to the next level. I will challenge you to think outside the business and move yourself in uncomfortable directions, but I promise… if you can get past the junk… the business and life you want is waiting on the other side. Stop being afraid to say what you want, and go out ther The Art of Arms l’Arte Dell Armi At the Art of Arms we have one solitary vision, to bring the historical martial arts we study as HEMA or WMA practitioners to life by telling the stories of those who lived it. The hours of research, writing, transcription and translation are worth it when we get to see Altoni’s Spiedo section in action at the Baglioni Palazzo, Fiore’s armor techniques displayed on the battlefields of San Giovanni in Persiceto, Liectenauer’s rossfechten techniques thundering across the terrain of southern Germany, the Anonimo’s sword and gauntlet brought to bear in the lists of Mantua; these are the moments where history and martial arts meet, and we’re dedicated to bringing these moments to you our dear listeners. We hope you enjoy! Progress over Perfection Gabby and Anna All things growth, productivity, time-management, and dream-chasing!
