If Nothing You Did Was Ever Good Enough, Watch This
If you grew up with a parent who was always on edge, always critical, always raising the bar — and nothing you did ever felt like it was quite enough — there's a reason that pattern followed you into adulthood. In this video I walk through two key indicators of the most common form of family trauma most of us have experienced:
A persistent feeling of not being safe. Chronic anxiety. A nervous system that never settles. Studies show that a child's heart rate, breathing, and nervous system will literally sync with the caregiver in the room — which means a dysregulated parent creates a dysregulated child by default.
Deep shame. A critical parent isn't just pushing you to succeed — they're often projecting their own sense of inadequacy onto you. And the result is a child who grows up believing that no matter what they do, it's never good enough.
This is a clip from my full-length video on this topic — what this family dynamic actually is, how it shows up, and what it takes to heal at the root. Watch the full video here: • The Most Common Family Trauma Nobody Talks...
