Is My Past Part of the Problem

Many parents either over‑blame or under‑blame their own childhoods for what’s happening now. In this webinar, Dr. Coleman explores how your upbringing—depressed or narcissistic parents, perfectionism, early loss, trauma—can quietly shape your parenting and your reactions to estrangement. He does not use this to shame you, but to help you see patterns you can change and drop shame you never earned. You’ll learn how to give yourself context, not excuses, and how to build more self‑forgiveness without denying real mistakes.
