Miscellaneous / / December 08, 2023
Difficult relationships with parents and painful memories of childhood are a taboo topic. It's difficult to talk about this. It is often embarrassing to admit this. These are the feelings that many of us experience. Our webinar is an attempt to tell your story in a safe environment; it is not blaming parents, but supporting ourselves. With the baggage of the past that we have.
We did not choose our parents and our childhood. But today we can decide what we take into our present and future.
At a session with psychologist Irina Parfenova, we will talk about how the actions of parents can influence their children. Let's look at real examples. Let's try practices that will help you feel better.
If you have a difficult relationship with your parents. If you are resentful of them or find it difficult to communicate with them. If your mom and dad were caring and loving, but you still carry the trauma inside of you. If you feel like you are living by someone else's rules. If you want to look into your past and get to know yourself better. This conversation is for you.
What will we talk about at the meeting?
A person goes through several stages of development. Some of them are overcome successfully, some are not. The unresolved challenges of growing up leave a deep imprint on his character. The roots of the problem of infantile, unstable or controlling parents lie here. This is how adults appear who do not know how to regulate emotions, who manipulate their own children or subject them to violence (and not always consciously).
The experience of dealing with toxic parents does not pass without a trace. Children raised by emotionally unstable people may experience chronic fear, tension, and difficulties in communication. As adults, they often find themselves in abusive relationships and become anxious even when they find a reliable partner. They do not like themselves, are sensitive to criticism and are prone to self-destruction.
At a meeting with a psychologist, we will delve into the topic: we will learn how to recognize emotionally unstable parents, analyze the consequences of a traumatic experience, and take the first steps towards healing childhood wounds.
