66 | Breaking the Cycle of Trauma to Support Your Anxious Teen with Dr. Robyn Koslowitz

Hi Parents!

If you’ve ever felt like your child’s anxiety is triggering your own old wounds, this episode will give you tools and hope for breaking the cycle.

I’m joined by Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, psychologist, trauma expert, and author of Post-Traumatic Parenting: Break the Cycle, Become the Parent You Always Wanted to Be. Dr. Koslowitz is the founder of the Post-Traumatic Parenting model, which helps parents heal their inner child while raising their real-world child with resilience and compassion.

In our conversation, Dr. Koslowitz shares her powerful “trauma app” metaphor, explains why trauma so often impacts our parenting, and walks us through the 5 subtypes of Post-Traumatic Parenting. We also talk about her R2 Parenting framework - Responsive and Responsible - and how it compares to other parenting styles.

If your teen struggles with anxiety, you’ll hear how their struggles might bring up your own trauma, and most importantly, what you can do to respond without passing that pain along.
