Cath Counihan on leaning into imperfection and being the parent she needed in her childhood

 HOLY MOLY mamas! I actually just don’t even know what to say about this week’s episode with Cath Counihan.

 It’s just THAT good. Cath is a London based trauma-informed Integrative Psychotherapist, lecturer, and host of the podcast Grow Yourself Up. She is a mother of twin girls and started her practice; Psychotherapy Mum after feeling blindsighted by her own experience of motherhood.

 Cath’s work is focused on supporting those who are healing their own childhood trauma and specifically, her expertise is in the emotional journey of parents who did not have their needs met in childhood.

 In today’s episode Cath tells us about her own ongoing journey with releasing control and leaning into imperfection. Cath also talks about how she managed her breaking point at 10 months post-partum; childhood trauma and how it shapes us; the lifelong work of building self compassion through reparenting; and how vulnerability has become her greatest strength.

 This is a very open, raw, and generous conversation, and I am so grateful to Cath for gifting this to us.
