  • 81. Nurture and Repair with your Parents with Guest Karen Louis
    Sep 3 2024
    Summary In this conversation, Kylie and Karen discuss the topic of parent-child relationships and how to repair, nurture, and engage with parents as adults. They explore the concept of schemas, specifically the negative schemas of unrelenting standards and self-sacrifice, and how they can impact the relationship between adult children and their parents. They also touch on the importance of understanding and separating one's identity from their parents, as well as the need for communication and setting boundaries in these relationships. The conversation explores the harmful effects of enmeshment and entitlement in parent-child relationships. Enmeshment can lead to a lack of personal boundaries and independence, causing feelings of suffocation and frustration. Entitlement, on the other hand, stems from a belief that rules don't apply and can result in a lack of self-awareness and blaming others. The key to repairing these relationships is self-awareness and personal growth. Celebrating differences and nurturing children to become their own unique selves is essential. It is also important to avoid exasperating children by being over-controlling or not meeting their core emotional needs. In this conversation, Karen and Kylie discuss the challenges of parenting teenagers and the importance of meeting their core emotional needs. They explore the concept of exasperation and how it can affect parent-child relationships. Karen shares insights from her book 'Good Enough Parenting' and emphasizes the significance of validating children's emotions. They also discuss the power of understanding parents' stories and practicing forgiveness while maintaining boundaries. The conversation concludes with practical tips for repairing relationships with older parents and fostering healthy communication with teenagers.
