Talking points: transitioning, parents, resistance
Sometimes in life, we feel stuck, and that can happen even after you’ve done “the work” and developed a deeper understanding of how your past shaped your present. My anon guest this week (like many of us) has trouble feeling feelings. Together, we dig a little into where that comes from and why.
(00:00:00) – Intro and what it was like growing up
(00:09:23) – “It’s hard for me to feel the hurt”
(00:14:21) – What transitioning was like, and how we can honor both our parents and ourselves
(00:23:55) – Connecting with grief
(00:32:25) – It’s sometimes more about claiming what it was we wanted
