Question, it sounds like you both went through some childhood trauma that probably impacted your self-worth and possibly some bad decisions earlier in your life. Knowing what you do from your higher education about all the ways your parents impacted your development, how did you get past being angry and blaming them for negative or deficient parts of personal development early on? Is this something you still struggle with occasionally? Is it a continual practice in forgiveness if parents don't ask for it or take responsibility?

I don't know if this would be a general topic, but as Mom's and therapist could you speak into how to calm a child who is experiencing sensory overload. Could be something related to neuro disorder, trauma or just a long day of extended interaction in a stressful environment like a family holiday party or busy vacation outing. Are there general strategies to try that help drain the sensory overload in a child that is extra sensitive to sensory input? Maybe they'd help destress the caregiver too!
