Overview
Parenting for Childhood Trauma Survivors is designed for parents who are doing the brave work of healing their own childhood trauma while raising children. Many trauma survivors worry, "Am I passing this on?" This workshop offers reassurance, insight, and practical tools to help you parent from awareness rather than fear.
Patrick explores how unresolved trauma, shame, and survival-based parenting patterns can interfere with connection, regulation, and joy. You'll learn why reactivity happens, how "the setup" works in triggering moments, and how to shift toward more conscious, grounded responses. With practical guidance, journaling prompts, and deeply validating reflections, this course helps you create emotional safety—for your child and for your own inner child—while building confidence, accountability, and hope as a parent.
