Monday, 29 December, 2025
In this episode Dr. Mary speaks with Dr. Rana Pishva about how our own childhood experiences can resurface during parenthood. They discuss matrescence (the developmental shift of becoming a parent), signs that reactions are rooted in past wounds, practical tools like HALT and opposite action, and how self-compassion, intentional communication, and timely repair can improve parent–child and family relationships.
