Loving Parent Podcast: ReparentingTrauma

Christy Part 2

In Part 2 of her interview, Christy shares with us the tools she’s found which contribute to her continued recovery and growth. 

Christy mentions a book I wrote 30 years ago. It’s now back to its original title, “Secret Families-Problem Families.” I have a couple of cases, and am trying to figure out how best to get everyone who wants one a copy. I’ll get this solved as soon as the website, LovingParentPodcast.com,  is finished. 

Christy Part 1

Meet Christy, a woman with long term addiction recovery, who has recently dived into adult child recovery. In this episode, we’ll hear about her family of origin, as well as the stories of some of the traumas in her life. 

please note: This is an internet recording, so there are some artifacts in the audio. And please be aware that parts of Christy’s story may stir up buried memories. If so, please get some support, either peer to peer, or professional. 

Richard and Brita Q&A

In this, the final part of our live talk, we answer participants’s questions. The names of 12-Step programs have been cut out, since I don’t represent any of them.  

the book I wrote many years ago, “It’s Never Too Late to be A Happy Child” is mentioned in this episode. I still have a few cases, and I’m working on a system to get copies to those who want them free of charge. Check back for more info. 

Richard and Brita Part 2

The continuation of our live talk, begun in Episode 4…Relationships in Recovery 🙂

Secret Families-problem Families

This episode is published raw and unedited. I hope the stumbles and pauses are not too distracting. Due to technical issues, posting Richard and Brita Part 2 is delayed. 

Families. Healthy or unhealthy? Functional or dysfunctional? Secret or Problem? In this episode, I’ll explain the way I look at families and how the people in them can change and grow. 

Richard and Brita Part 1

I promise, this podcast is not the Richard and Brita Show. But I’ve been sick and have had laryngitis.  That kept me from doing my scheduled interviews. So this episode and the next are a talk Richard and I did at a speaker’s meeting in November of 2018. It was recorded live, so there may be some distortion. Our editor tried to take out as many references to specific programs and people as possible without being jarring. We hope you enjoy it! We’ll be back to interviewing some really interesting reparenters in the coming weeks. 

Richard Part 2

We continue with Richard’s story of his life after recovery. Please note: sound quality may not be optimal on some devices. 

Richard Part 1

In my interview with Richard, he recounts his major childhood traumas and how he began his recovery. 

BecomingMy Own Loving Parent

In Episode 1, you will hear a recap of my reparenting journey. I discuss a bit of what my childhood was like, as well as what got me into recovery as an adult child, how I reparented the children in my care, and how I spot and recover from relapses.
