- Having difficulty allowing their children to become independent
- “Too resilient”; downplay suffering, forget how hard something was
- Struggling to leave an abusive situation or relationship
- Afraid to make necessary changes despite being unhappy
- Numb or unaware of what they want or feel
- And more!
Taught in everyday language and filled with practical tools, this is a recording you don’t want to miss!
