Summary

Clinical psychologist Jean Cheng joins Janet to discuss the puzzling, painful, and self-defeating feelings that our children's behaviors can bring up in us as parents. No matter how well educated and prepared we are for this role, we might find ourselves overwhelmed and viscerally reacting by yelling, threatening, or "checking out." Often the answer lies in our own childhoods, in subtle wounds and traumas we may have had no awareness of before becoming parents. Dr. Cheng describes the myriad of ways our parents and caregivers – while often doing their very best – may have left wounds. She illuminates “this inner landscape of feelings” that our brains tend to minimize but which can manifest in a lack of self-confidence, an inability to maintain boundaries, and “reactions that are different from the kind of parents we want to be.” Janet and Jean discuss ways to recognize and acknowledge our childhood wounds and address them with empathy and compassion.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Janet Lansbury. Welcome to Unruffold. Today I'm happy to introduce you to Dr.
0:10.0	Jean Cheng. She's a clinical psychologist whose passion has been to help free her clients
0:16.9	from the inner prisons that prevent them from living life to the fullest. Dr. Cheng works
0:22.1	extensively with trauma survivors and she's particularly interested in the childhood wounds,
0:28.1	major and minor, that can unknowingly hinder our goals as parents. Our children's behaviors
0:33.7	can bring these wounds to our awareness for the very first time. Dr. Cheng's insights,
0:39.7	they really struck a chord with me and no matter your background, I believe you'll find her
0:44.6	perspective in lightening and healing. But before we begin, here's a quick word about a new
0:51.5	product from ritual vitamins that my husband and I have been using for a couple of months now.
0:56.6	This time, it's for gut health. It's called symbiotic plus. Did you know that it's estimated
1:03.2	70% of the immune system is located in the gut? So keeping that ecosystem happy in a top shape
1:10.2	makes sense, right? And a probiotic can definitely help. But not all probiotics are created equal.
1:16.6	Each symbiotic plus capsule contains a prebiotic, probiotics, and a postbiotic to support a balanced
1:24.2	gut. And symbiotic plus is a delayed release capsule, which is important. It means the good stuff
1:29.7	can actually survive the acids and enzymes in your GI tract and make it to your colon,
1:35.3	which is the best place for probiotics to survive and grow. That's smart, right? My family's been
1:40.4	taking ritual vitamins for years now. We trust ritual because A, they develop products based on
1:47.2	research and science. And B, because they only use the highest quality traceable ingredients,
1:53.6	which means there's a visible supply chain. Symbiotic plus is no different. You know what you're
1:59.0	putting into your body. You know why and exactly where it comes from. In fact, if you like to do
2:04.5	your own research, the information is right there on the ritual website. Right now, rituals offering
2:10.3	my listeners 10% off during your first three months. So please check it out. Visit ritual.com,
