Grieving The Childhood You Never Had: How To Let Go And Grow Up

CALLING HOME with Whitney Goodman, LMFT

You were the responsible one. The quiet one. The one who didn’t need much. And now, as an adult, you feel stuck—like you never got the chance to just be a kid, and it’s holding you back.

Grieving a childhood that was chaotic, neglectful, abusive, devoid of emotional connection, or overly parentified can be challenging. You may feel like you’re stuck in your childhood or your child self, and like you can’t seem to let go or move into adulthood.

In this episode, I explain what it means to grieve your childhood, the impact of a missed childhood, and how to become the adult you need.
