Summary

This episode is a joint release of The Allender Center podcast and The Place We Find Ourselves.

We have all experienced hurt, abandonment, or disappointment at the hands of our parents or caretakers, whether it was intentional or not. So much of our beauty and brokenness — so much of what makes us human — is tied to our family of origin. In today’s episode, Dan Allender and I discuss what it means to begin engaging the harm that we endured during our growing up years. Are we dishonoring our father and mother if we name the hurt we experienced growing up? Should we just “let it go?” If you want to learn more about how to engage your story in your family of origin, please join Dan and I for a 2 hour webinar on February 23, 2023. You can register here.

1:05.1	It's better just to live with a tablo rosa, a white screen with no markings. At least that's
1:14.7	some view by some, but my dear friend and colleague Adam Young and I are going to talk about it.

2:12.5	we can also say that we without embarrassment, we are inviting this conversation in part because
