014 - Why are we triggered by our kids reaction? - With Linda Sanderville

Welcome back to "Parenting the Intensity!"

In this podcast episode, I welcome the first guest, Linda Sanderville, a licensed clinical social worker, founder of the Joy Reclaimed Summit and host of the Love Yourself Liberated! Podcast.

• We discuss how our own childhood experiences impact the way we react to our children and how we can be less triggered.
• We explore the importance of setting up our children to be less triggered as they grow up and share various ways to regulate ourselves and stay calm.
• We discuss the power of mindfulness practices like breathwork, hypnosis, and tapping as tools to help us reconnect with ourselves and navigate triggering situations with our children.

Linda also highlights the importance of core beliefs and the role they play in our parenting. The discussion delves into the concept of the inner child and how our past experiences, even the seemingly small ones, can shape our reactions to our children's behaviors and the importance of giving ourselves grace and understanding that we may have wounds from the past that need attention and healing.

We also talk about the Joy Reclaimed Summit that Linda is organizing and that is running live in October 2023, a virtual event that focuses on reclaiming joy in various aspects of life, from physical and emotional health to finances. I am one of the speaker at the summit, my talk is: "Supporting Our Kids and Ourselves In a Deeply Personalized Way".

Overall, in this episode we encourages you to acknowledge and validate your feelings, seek support, and embrace practices that promote healing and self-regulation as you navigate the complexities of parenting.
