Ep.10 – Self-Esteem
Loving Parent Podcast
Happy Holidays! Here’s another raw episode recorded. without the benefit of editing. There should be another interview next week.
In recording this episode about Self-Esteem, I talk quite a bit about positive affirmations. There are many books about affirmations you can read, including mine and Self-Esteem, A Family Affair by Jeanne Illsley Clark. Both have affirmations geared to the developmental stages of childhood. I suggest you pick a few you like and memorize them.
i thought I’d give you some here you to get started:
I’m glad you’re here.
you belong here.
I like to watch you change and grow.
you can think about how you feel, and feel about what you think.
you can take your time.
it’s ok to make mistakes.
i like the person you’re becoming.

Listen as Mark concludes his recovery and reparenting journey up to this point in his life. It is a story of healing and hope, of self-love and acceptance.
Ep.11 – Mark – Part 1
We’re back after a short holiday break! Mark has an interesting story to share. I think his path to Adult Child recovery will seem very familiar to some listeners. I’m reminded not to compare my story with anyone else’s.
Ep.9 – Christy – Part 2
In Part 2 of her interview, Christy shares with us the tools she’s found which contribute to her continued recovery and growth.
Christy mentions a book I wrote 30 years ago. It’s now back to its original title, “Secret Families-Problem Families.” I have a couple of cases, and am trying to figure out how best to get everyone who wants one a copy.
