Post Traumatic Parenting

What if your trauma could become your superpower in parenting?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, clinical child psychologist and author of Post-Traumatic Parenting: Break the Cycle, Become the Parent You Always Wanted to Be. We explore how childhood trauma shapes the way we show up as parents—and how the very act of raising children can be our path to healing.

We discuss:

The difference between the trauma of presence and the trauma of absence

Why conflict isn’t the problem in families—mismanaged conflict is

How to “reprogram” the trauma app in your brain

The power of repair and modeling healthy conflict for your children

Why parenting is the perfect moment for rewiring and growth

If you’ve ever worried that your “damage will damage your kids,” this episode offers hope, compassion, and practical tools to shift that fear into strength.
