Maggie Nick, MSW, LCSW is a trauma therapist, parenting coach, and has gone viral for her powerful and relatable videos about growing up as "The Good Kid." On this episode, we talk about Attachment Theory and how trauma and shame affect our mental and physical health. We talk about outdated parenting styles and how they've hurt us through generations and how we can break the cycle of trauma by using our "perspectacles." We'll talk about "punishments" vs "consequences," where Gentle Parenting falls short and what Functional Medicine misses. It's a jam-packed episode!
