Jenny is great at connecting with her two boys. She has put a lot of work into her parenting and is grateful to be raising them differently than she was raised. However, 10 yr. old Scott knows just how to push her button, and in the heat of the moment, her past takes charge. We dig out what her button is and why it gets pushed. New awareness and self-compassion can prevent Jenny from dumping any more baggage onto her son.
