0:00.0	Parenthood is such a reminder of your own childhood in the best and worst ways and the things that you wish happen for you.
0:20.6	And now those gaps are big and glaring and they become the driving force behind your parenting style.
0:27.8	Why is parenting so hard?
0:30.2	Why is parenting also so hard on our partnerships?
0:34.2	Why are we so hard on ourselves when we have a hard time with parenting? Well,
0:39.7	today I'm talking with Keir Gaines. Kier is a husband, he's a father, he's a community leader,
0:45.7	and he's a licensed therapist. And he is honestly just an amazing thought partner on all of these
0:53.0	questions. You're going to get so much from
0:56.2	this episode. Kier and I talk about whether compassion is dangerous and why we treat compassion

1:57.0	people who don't just want to solve a problem and return to baseline. We want to
2:02.5	raise our baselines, right? And this is what we really do, together. Reduce triggers,
2:07.8	learn to set boundaries, and access that sturdy leader that I know is inside all of us. It's all
2:13.6	there when you're looking for that next step. And until then, please do check out goodinside.com slash podcast.
2:20.9	Scroll down to the Ask Dr. Becky section at the bottom and let me know what you want to talk about parents and mental health therapy and how it all kind of relates.
