How to Heal From a Parentified Childhood
If you grew up being the responsible one, the strong one, or the caretaker who learned to put everyone else first, this course offers a gentle path back to yourself. Here, licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Thai Alonso helps you understand parentification — the childhood role reversal that can leave lasting patterns of guilt, people-pleasing tendencies, burnout, codependency, and difficulty setting boundaries. Through compassionate guidance, you’ll begin to uncover the emotional roots of these patterns, reconnect with the parts of yourself you had to silence, and release the belief that love must be earned through over-giving. Start now to begin your healing journey.
