Parental Loss & Trauma and How it Impacts our Parenting with Christina Rasmussen, Episode #80

In this touching podcast Christina Rasmussen, author and grief specialist, beautfully reframes how adversity in our childhood creates a form of "grief" that we carry into our parenting experiences. This grief can lead parents to stiffling their children's own self-expression and ultimately leads to disconnection from our children and from ourselves. Christina has a unique way of looking at parental triggers and how to work with them from a place of self-compassion.Christina Rasmussen is an acclaimed grief educator and bestselling author of Second Firsts (2013), Where Did You Go? (2018), and Invisible Loss (2024). In 2010, four years after her thirty-five-year-old spouse passed away from Stage 4 colon cancer, she created the Life Reentry process, which launched her on a mission to bring compassion, grace, and validation to thousands, while simultaneously establishing an exit from what she termed the Waiting Room.To learn more about Christina visit https://christinarasmussen.com/ or go to https://invisiblelossbook.com/ to purchase her new book "The Invisible Loss"Want to hear more from ICP?
