Seen: The Film - Parental Trauma and Healing in an Age of Hyper-Novelty with Sam Jockel

Parenting in the modern world can feel overwhelming—so much so that many parents find themselves simply trying to survive rather than thrive. But why is that? What societal pressures, personal histories, and unresolved traumas shape the way we raise our children?In this episode of The New Orchard, I sit down with Sam Jockel, award-winning social entrepreneur and founder of ParentTV, to discuss her latest film project, Seen. This beautifully shot documentary explores the profound link between parents’ mental health and the way they raise their children. We dive into the importance of self-awareness, healing, and the concept of "reparenting"—breaking generational cycles to create healthier family dynamics.If you’ve ever felt the weight of modern parenting or wondered why raising kids can feel so overwhelming, this conversation is for you.Links and interview references:Seen The Film - https://seenthefilm.com Parent TV - https://parenttv.com Dr. Gabor Maté - https://drgabormate.com/ Emerging Minds - Parental mental health and parenting: How are they related?https://emergingminds.com.au/resources/parental-mental-health-and-parenting-how-are-they-related/
