Whether it’s known to us or not, a ton of our perspectives, behaviors, and triggers are dictated by situations that happened when we were kids. 

How we show up in our relationships, parenting and even our businesses always tracks back to our childhoods. Some of the things we brush off and label as “just who we are” actually have a lot to do with early family dynamics. Understanding how these things shaped us is an opportunity to change them, and as parents, that’s really important. 

How do we identify these things and work to change them? What steps can we take to raise emotionally regulated kids? In this episode, I’m joined by psychotherapist, TikTok personality and author of “Your Pocket Therapist: Break Free from Old Patterns and Embrace a Happier Life”, Dr. Annie Zimmerman. We talk about the important work she’s doing, and how we can connect the dots between how we act now and what we experienced back then.

Of course, genes and personality exist, but it’s almost always ways of coping and things we think ‘that’s just who I am’ that track back to family dynamics when we were younger. -Dr. Annie Zimmerman
