Was I Parentified?

This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen dive into the topic of parentification aka parenting our parents and/or siblings as a child or adolescent. They start the episode by defining parentification, sharing the different types, giving examples of what it could have looked like in your childhood/adolescence and explaining the short & long term effects. Emmalee and Jen answer your questions like: what to do if it's showing up in adulthood, can we parentify ourselves, how to set boundaries when you've had to parent a parent in the past, what to do with the guilt that can arise when setting boundaries, how to handle if your in-laws do this to your partner, and so much more. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
