authenticity & attachment

According to Gabor Mate, a leading expert on trauma, a child has two needs as they develop. The first is an attachment with the people who help them survive; the second is the need to be authentic. Oftentimes, a child needs to choose between the two ... especially in the realm of emotion. Can I share my emotions authentically? Or do I need to suppress that piece of me to be a good and nice child? Join Karen and Lynn as they dive deep into the connection between the two and how we can begin to heal and show up as our authentic selves.
