📌 TEDx Talk Not All Parents Are Good by Dr. Sherrie Campbell -

Society expects them to be strong, stoic, and unshakable. But what happens when the weight of trauma becomes unbearable?

What happens when the very qualities that make them resilient also become the barriers that keep them from healing?

🍃 Childhood trauma

🍃 Overcoming C-PTSD

🍃 OCD coping strategies

🍃 Dealing with toxic family members in social media

🍃 Parenting to protect our children from the generational trauma we endured

🍃Committing to a resilient mindset
