Unpacking Attachment Wounds and How They Affect Our Parenting
Episode 21
Friday, 7 November, 2025
In this episode, we explore how attachment wounds impact our ability to see our children as separate from us, and even from our own parents. We discuss the incredible, unconscious urge to replay our attachment pains onto our children, and what it takes to recognize (and change) those impulses within the non-coercive, collaborative approach.Join Rythea and Cara as they get vulnerable about their personal attachment histories and current struggles as parents. They go deep about self-love and the challenge to heal after a childhood of broken attachments. Rythea offers a powerful parenting tool she calls “The Psychic Apology” where parents can take accountability through intention and visualization. Cara discusses life with a free-feeling toddler and how to recognize covert blocks to healthy attachment.Key Topics:Attachment to our caregivers is a survival needCan we REALLY heal our attachment trauma?Attachment styles and its relation to Internal Family SystemsResources Mentioned:The Will to Change by Bell HooksVivek’s Parent-Support groupRythea’s Facebook Parent-Support group:Support YKDS Book a mentor session with Rythea Explore Cara's Relationship Toolkit We (Rythea and Cara) are white, cis-gender, straight, middle-class women living with financial and societal privilege.
