Actually living a recovery program doesn’t usually happen overnight.

In cultures around the world, children need to be parented with gentleness, humor, love, and respect. Although Teresa grew up in a family with its roots in northern India, her thoughts and feelings are not much different from those of other Adult Children.

Welcome to Part 2 of my interview with Scotty, in which we discuss important tools of recovery and reparenting our trauma.

Scotty is making sense of his recovery work through a study of neuroscience. I think you’re in for a treat!

Building on the previous episode about self-esteem, I get a bat and glove to help me send negative messages flying, and catch positive messages and keep them.

Sandee shares the second part of her Reparenting journey.

I learned a lot from Sandee’s story, which is different from mine in many ways. I hope you will, too.

Mark concludes the story of his recovery and reparenting journey up to this point in his life.

Mark’s path toAdult Child recovery may seem very familiar to some of you.

Happy Holidays! I’d like to give you the gift of Self-Esteem, but I can’t…

The continuation of our live talk…Relationships in Recovery 🙂

In this episode, I’ll explain the way I look at families and how the people in them can change

I promise, this podcast is not the Richard and Brita Show. But I’ve been sick and have had laryngitis.  That kept me from doing my scheduled interviews. So this episode and the next are a talk Richard and I did at a speaker’s meeting in November of 2018. It was recorded live, so there may be some distortion. Our editor tried to take out as many references to specific programs and people as possible without being jarring. We hope you enjoy it! We’ll be back to interviewing some really interesting reparenters in the coming weeks. 

We continue with Richard on his 35+ year reparenting journey.

In this poignant interview,Richard shares about his traumatic childhood and what led to his recovery.

My personal reparenting journey.

A hint of what’s to come!
