Dr. Becky on Parenting and Reparenting Yourself | Being Well

Dr. Becky Kennedy (‪@goodinside‬) joins me for a conversation about building better relationships - with ourselves, our partners, and our children. We talk about Dr. Becky’s framework of “good inside,” and how we can apply it to ourselves. Dr. Becky explains how many of the struggles parents face trace back to their own childhood experiences, and suggests how we can reparent ourselves by learning emotional regulation, working with shame, and becoming sturdier. We also cover the limits of behavioral control models, deeply feeling kids, maintaining boundaries when things get hard, and building connection capital.
