Is it possible to parent yourself in the ways you never got from your parents? ❦ Conversation #4
The uncomfortable fact is that Mussar means discipline. Our first experiences of Mussar were as children being disciplined by adults and it was not fun. The reality is that humans are imperfect and sometimes fail, and this was certainly true of our parents and the adults in our lives. The good news is not only can you go back and parent yourself in the ways you needed as a child, but you can also experience a loving relationship with the perfect Parent that you need now. In this conversation we're going to explore just that - how to step into a loving parent-child relationship with Hashem through Mussar practice, and how you can begin parenting yourself in the ways that you needed as a child.
