I have my inner child and I talk to her all the time... I have to really connect with my inner child. So that's part of the inner child work, teaching the parent how to reparent their inner child to meet those unmet emotional needs.
Parenting can be tough, and it's even tougher when you're carrying emotional baggage. This episode of The Mental Health Toolbox Podcast, hosted by psychotherapist Patrick Martin, dives into the often-overlooked topic of men's mental health and the power of conscious parenting. Joined by licensed clinical social worker Silva Badalian, the conversation unpacks the unique emotional struggles men face and how conscious parenting can help heal these wounds.
Patrick's own experience with losing a family member to suicide fuels his passion for destigmatizing mental health support for men, making this episode deeply personal and impactful. Silva, with nearly two decades of experience, shares her insights on healing the inner child and how this approach can foster healthier relationships with our children. The episode explores societal norms and cultural pressures that often prevent men from seeking help, emphasizing the need for a safe space where they can open up.
Through practical tips like role-playing and connecting before correcting, parents are encouraged to understand their own emotional needs and those of their children. The discussion also highlights the importance of play and self-awareness in building strong parent-child bonds. If you're a parent or planning to become one, this episode offers valuable perspectives on supporting your children's emotional well-being while taking care of your own.
