In this episode, I fly solo in offering a different perspective on the Texas School Shooting. Yes, maybe it’s gun law reform and yes, it’s also hurting children in angry bodies. As more people feel disconnected, they grow angrier. Happy, secure children who have a sense of self don’t shoot up schools. It’s time to teach people how to process their childhood and FEEL THEIR FEELINGS.

- My own experience of middle school and high school and what I noticed
- What is emotional neglect and emotional immature parents?
- 10 Themes of emotional neglect
- Mother wound
- Perfectionism as a byproduct of shame
- Belonging & Connection
- Shame, Empathy, Guilt, Humiliation and Embarrassment

- Self-Directed Anger, Self-Blame
