Parentification occurs when roles reverse between a parent and child and the child takes care of the parent. Instrumental parentification happens when a kid takes over parental responsibilities. Emotional parentification occurs when a parent blurs boundaries and use the kid as emotional support. #parentification #traumatok #nursesoftiktok #therapytok
Parentification refers to a dynamic in which a child is forced to take on the role of a parent or caregiver for their own parents or siblings. It occurs when a child's responsibilities and emotional needs are inappropriately swapped, leading them to assume adult-like roles and responsibilities at a young age.

Parentification can lead to so many issues with our own self, identify, worrh, and connection. Being a parentified child means we didnt really get to experience our childhood as children and sonwe didnt get to learn about ourselves and what we like and we didn’t learn that we were worthy despite our accomplishments and what we do for others #parentification #parentified #cptsd #trauma
Parentification refers to a situation where a child is forced to take on adult responsibilities and caretaking roles, often because the parents are emotionally unavailable or incapable of fulfilling their parental duties. This can include taking care of younger siblings, managing household tasks, or providing emotional support to parents. The burden of these responsibilities can prevent the child from experiencing a normal childhood and can lead to a loss of personal autonomy and emotional neglect.
Enmeshment trauma occurs when there are blurred boundaries between family members, resulting in a lack of individuality and a diminished sense of self. In enmeshed families, there is often an intense emotional closeness that can stifle individual identities and personal autonomy. This can lead to emotional neglect as the focus becomes maintaining the family's emotional dynamics rather than addressing the individual needs and emotions of each family member.
For Latino/Mexican individuals, cultural factors and traditional gender roles can contribute to the prevalence of parentification and enmeshment trauma, particularly for women. In some cultures, there is an expectation placed on women to prioritize family needs above their own and to take on caregiving roles. These cultural norms can intensify the pressure on women to shoulder the responsibilities of nurturing and caretaking within the family, potentially leading to emotional neglect and a diminished sense of self. #emotionalneglect #parentification #latinomentalhealth #latina #mexicanmentalhealth #selfconfidence #parentification

Being “mature for your age” can be the saddest thing that happens to a kid.

Parentification
is a widespread condition that occurs when a child has to be strong for their parents, placing a child too early in the adult position.
This is why our client is saying „I need you to be strong“ to her internal mother.
She desperately needed someone to be stronger than she was so she could step out of the parentified role back into the child.
By using Neo Emotional Release we can work with the body, releasing stored tension directly in the fascia and energy system.
