Traumatic childhood experiences often cast a shadow of fear that can cripple us as parents if we don't deal with them head-on. Life-defining moments like these can have such a lasting impact on us that it seems impossible to rise above them. Just when we think we've moved on from the past, buried feelings bubble up to the surface and explode. Raising children can trigger all kinds of unexpected and unintended emotional reactions as we navigate parenting through the lens of our own past experiences. At some point we see the impact that our fear and anxiety are having on our children, and we realize we need to do something about it. In Love Rises, Kim Nichols shares her story of childhood sexual abuse and how it impacted her parenting. As she began to understand the roots of her fear-based mindset, she learned how to reframe her experiences and flip her fear to love-focused parenting. Kim's journey and her practical insights will inspire you to face your fears head-on and transform them into parenting strengths as you reframe your own life-defining moments.
