Author: Impactful Parent August 28, 2025 Duration: 29:15
Healing Yourself To Be A Better Parent In this episode, podcast host Kristina Campos sits down with Brian Power, who shares his raw and honest story of how his marriage went from a ”good relationship” to a ”complete relationship failure.” He reveals how he used the powerful principles of Integrated Attachment Theory to not only save his marriage but to rebuild it stronger than ever before. This eye-opening conversation is a must-listen for any parent or partner looking to improve their most important relationships. Brian breaks down how parents can heal their own childhood wounds to stop passing trauma on to their kids. He explains how our subconscious mind drives most of our decisions and how we can change our behaviors by addressing these underlying wounds. You’ll learn practical steps to apply the theory in your own life, including: Understanding and addressing your core wounds [14:08] Identifying your true needs [14:13] Handling emotions in a healthy way [14:18] Setting healthy boundaries in your relationships [14:29] Improving communication with your spouse and children [14:42] Brian also offers a powerful message for men who may be hesitant to seek help, encouraging them to be humble and take ownership of their issues for the sake of their families. Don’t miss this opportunity to transform your relationships and become a better role model for your children.
