In this episode, I’m joined by West Virginia-based therapist Carly Costello, who specializes in helping people heal from childhood trauma using EMDR and parts work (IFS). Together, we explore how our unhealed childhood experiences show up in our parenting - and how healing is not only possible but powerful. This is the episode for every mom who’s ever wondered: “Why did I react that way?” or “Why does this moment with my child feel so big?” Hint: It’s not just the moment. It’s your past showing up in the present.What to Expect: Why parenting often triggers childhood wounds and what to do about it What EMDR therapy is and how it helps moms heal (without having to relive the trauma) A real-talk breakdown of "parts work" and how it helps you connect with your inner child How healing your own stuff helps you feel more regulated as a parent What trauma actually means (hint: it's not just about big events) What to do if you had a "good" childhood but still feel stuck or reactive Signs that your inner child may need care, attention, and healing How Carly blends EMDR and parts work to support generational healingConnect with Carly:Follow on Instagram: @emdrwithcarlyVisit Karly’s Website: https://www.emdrwithcarly.com/Omaha Mom Talks – real moms, authentic conversations, no filter needed. Connect with Me!!Reach out to the Omaha Mom Talks Hotline: (402)965-1718Need advice on a messy mom moment, wondering how to set a boundary, or want to share a mom win?
