Parent Trauma: The Silent Struggle of Raising Kids

Parenting comes with immense love—but also profound challenges. In this episode, Saphira and Christine dive into the concept of parent trauma—the emotional toll parents endure when their children face difficulties, from mental health struggles to high-risk behaviors. They share personal experiences, explore the impact on relationships, and discuss how opening up, seeking support, and sharing stories can help parents heal. Whether you’re in the thick of it or supporting a friend, this conversation is a reminder that you’re not alone.
