All right, welcome to the Man Talk show.

My name is Connor Beaton, and today is another anonymous guest episode.

And this time I've invited the first female anonymous guest to be on the show

and to do a little bit of work in a few different areas. This individual had written me on

Instagram and told me a little bit about her story. And I thought it would be a good opportunity to dive

into some of the work that needed to be done.

So we talk about the mother-daughter dynamic and the mother wound that can come out of that.

We talk about divorce and separation.

We dive into having to play a sort of parentified role and taking on the role of

being a parent to a father, someone dealing with alcoholism. And in some ways, we talk about

neglect and abandonment and the experience that many children, many people that have

grown up into adults experience being abandoned as a child, feeling neglected and unable to

get the attachment and the love and the support that we need as children children and so we get into a little bit of

attachment styles here and what comes from being in an environment where our needs are not

prioritized and where we have had to sacrifice our own needs our own wants to tend to the needs

and wants of others we also talk about a hypercritical parent being the mother in this case.

And so there's a lot of good stuff that can come from this conversation. So I hope that you enjoy. Let me know,

either by messaging me on Instagram or whatever platform you prefer, how you enjoyed this episode.

And what questions you have or

what really resonated with you. Don't forget to share it. And feel free to leave me a rating

and a review. It goes a long way in getting us onto the phones and into the years of other people.

So if you enjoy my show, I would really appreciate that you take the time.
