Welcome to episode of The Touched Out Podcast. Today we unravel the delicate balance of gentle parenting and setting boundaries.
Today’s guest is Mark, a clinical psychotherapist and trauma specialist hailing from Montreal, Canada. Delving into his upbringing, we uncover how his experiences shaped his approach to parenting. Mark began his career by aiding traumatized youth, after facing his own substance abuse struggles which came to a head when Mark was diagnosed with drug-induced paranoia. We explore how these experiences influence his work and parenting philosophy.
Discover the heartwarming story of Mark's meeting with his wife, Kara, and how their pasts moulded their relationship. Together, they faced the intricacies of mental health during pregnancies and births.
Mark shares the challenges he encountered upon returning to work as a therapist while grappling with the innocence of his son and the harrowing experiences of his clients. Unveiling personal insights gained from being both a parent and a professional, Mark emphasizes the importance of embracing imperfections in the parenting journey.
Delve into Mark's main goal as a parent: to raise a child who embodies kindness, assertiveness, and engagement while understanding the significance of boundaries.
In an enlightening discussion, Mark and Carter debunk societal misunderstandings surrounding gentle parenting, shedding light on effective parenting strategies.
