Summary

Fatherwound.  Motherwound.

ON THE HEAL BLOG This Is Why You Should Never Spank Your Child 

What happens to us when we are disconnected from our parents?  Karina grew up without a father, and with a mother who was emotionally disconnected. Karina was essentially parenting herself. Karina left home as soon as she finished high school and realised it was her own responsibility to create the life she dreamed for herself.  But growing up without a connection to either parent, Karina found herself gravitating towards men that she couldn't connect with either. Karina is now living a beautiful life, selling luxury real estate, and has written a book called Choosing Magic where she tells her story of growing up and surviving life with no real parenting and how she has been able to turn her life around.  You can find Karina at Choosing Magic and if you go to this page and navigate to the end you can get access to Karina's 12 Simple Tools To Enrich Your Daily Life
