This practical guide teaches parents how to understand and process their emotions–and how to teach this valuable, life changing skill to the next generation. Parents are stressed. It's not uncommon for modern-day pressures and expectations to compromise a parent's emotional well-being, causing them to lose control of their emotions and lash out. But when parents let their anger and frustration lead to outbursts, the fallout can have lasting effects on their children, leaving them anxious, insecure, and hurt by the words and actions of their overwhelmed caregivers. Parents desperately need real, actionable, long-lasting advice that helps them process their emotions in a healthy and productive way. In Parents Have Feelings, Too, psychotherapists Hilary Jacobs Hendel and Juli Fraga provide the tools parents need to understand and effectively work with their own potent feelings, breaking the chain of intergenerational trauma, and passing along this knowledge to their children to create a generation of emotionally mature people.
