Marisa Peer had a lonely childhood: her father was always at work and her mother was sick and unfulfilled, attempting suicide several times. Through growing up in that environment, she learned two crucial lessons: every child takes on a specific role, and it is the interpretation of what happens to us that shapes us. She used these lessons to fuel her career as a therapist and eventually become one of the most well-respected hypnotherapists in the world. In this episode of YAPClassic, you’ll learn about the different roles children take on, how to parent yourself when you didn’t receive the love or kindness that you needed from your parents, and how the language you use may be contributing to your mental and physical health problems.
