Summary

Written by a trauma therapist and parenting expert, 'Good Kids' unpacks the 'Good Kid' persona and the effects of relational shame trauma. This form of trauma doesn't always come from outright neglect or abuse; it grows in subtle, wordless exchanges, in how your emotions were ignored or dismissed, in the unspoken rules that taught you that not upsetting anyone was more important than how you felt. But you don't have to keep dragging around all that shame and self-doubt. You can rest. You can practice taking up space and having needs, preferences and opinions - without apologizing. And you can guide your own kids through those same messy human moments that we weren't allowed to have. You can stop shapeshifting and start coming home to who you really are, and it all starts with ditching being a Good Kid.
