How Can I Move On?" 6 Ways To Jumpstart Self Growth- Psychotherapy Crash Course
When I see clients with an abuse history, I describe self-centered parents as unstable, abusive, or emotionally unavailable. Emotional detachment is an inability of the parent to meet their deepest needs, relate to them, or provides support and comfort when needed. Sadly, having a parent like this can result in depressive symptoms, anxiety, PTSD, chronic stress, etc. Trying to live an adult life can feel impossible.
In this video, I discuss a few ways to kickstart post traumatic growth and set you on the path to stability.
I welcome your comments and questions!
