Summary
Can I be a good parent after childhood trauma?
Kavita was six years old and her sister was four when they were sent to boarding school. It was total abandonment and Kavita was in complete trauma. Her mother was living with an undiagnosed mental illness and her parents were simply unable to cope. It wasn't until Kavita had her own child that she really understood the depths of that trauma. In this episode Kavita is sharing her story and all of her wisdom. As a Parenting Coach, trained by Dr Shefali, Oprah’s go-to parenting expert, Kavita has now come full circle as she teaches parents how, by embracing ourselves, we can create a beautiful partnership with our child.
