Ep 164: Why Even the Best Childhoods Create Reactive Parents
Description
Parenting techniques didn’t fail us, they broke us.
Even moms with “happy childhoods,” therapy degrees, or calm voices can still find themselves yelling, shutting down, or people-pleasing. Why? Because most parenting methods focus on behavior, not the root: unhealed generational developmental trauma.
In this raw and eye-opening episode, Alena Gomes Rodrigues, creator of Intergenerational Developmental Trauma Repatterning (IDTR) and author of I Yelled, I Cried, I Healed, explains why even the most well-intentioned parents unconsciously pass on emotional wounds and how healing your nervous system changes everything. In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why CBT and parenting scripts don’t rewire emotional patterns
- How “good childhoods” can still create people-pleasing, overachieving moms
- The hidden trauma psychologists aren’t trained to recognize
- Why stress, ADHD, or burnout aren’t the real reason for yelling
- How IDTR helps moms create emotional safety for their children without perfectionism
This is your invitation to stop parenting from trauma and start healing with compassion, clarity, and confidence.
