The ability to speak up for yourself starts in childhood. Children born to healthy parents are encouraged to explore their environments, and are supported when they make a mistake. Mistakes are a part of the natural order of life, and healthy parents know that encouragement helps build resiliency. On the other hand, extreme parenting leads to a fear of speaking up for oneself, which often leads to issues with codependency, people-pleasing, and subjugation for the sake of acceptance and validation. In relationships like moths to flames, codependents tend to find themselves entangled with master manipulators who exploit a codependent need for approval and fear of rejection. In this episode, you will learn about how extreme parenting leads to problems with setting appropriate boundaries and a deficits in self-advocacy.
