You know, like you could be the most perfect parent in the world and your kid's going to grow up thinking I'm never going to be like my mother, mom and dad, or like you could have, like similar things that we had, and not think you're good enough either way.
Ever wondered how growing up with an alcoholic parent shapes your life? In this episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick Fox chats with Shanenn Bryant, a certified life coach and host of 'Your Top Self'. Shanenn opens up about her personal journey of living with an alcoholic father and the profound impact it had on her as she matured. This conversation is packed with real-life experiences and valuable lessons that many will find relatable.
Shanenn discusses how children internalize traumatic events to protect themselves, leading to issues like jealousy and low self-worth in adulthood. They also touch on 'the laundry list'—a set of traits common among children of alcoholics—and the powerful role of inner child work in therapy. Ever thought about how habits like alcohol misuse can be passed down through generations? Shanenn and Patrick explore this, along with the unconscious ways society approves of alcohol, even through something as simple as clothing.
They delve into the importance of self-awareness and self-care, offering practical advice on reframing your past to create a better future. Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of growing up with an alcoholic parent or trying to break the cycle for your own children, this episode offers a wealth of insights and encouragement. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how parental alcoholism affects relationships and personal growth.
