Toxic parents can leave lasting scars, but you are not alone, and you are not powerless. In this episode of Ask Dr. Jodi, I dive into what it really means to have a difficult or toxic parent, how those early relationships shape us, and most importantly, how you can start to heal and reclaim your sense of self. Whether you are dealing with parents who are critical, selfish, or emotionally unavailable, or you just find yourself stuck in painful dynamics with authority figures, this conversation is for you.
