Channel: Splitting Hairs Podcast
Date: 2021-06-23

Hello May! It's been a while since our last episode, so this week starts with a bang as Laura and Pauline unpack Toxic Families and Narcissistic Parenting.  We get in touch with our inner child and examine how familial dysfunctionality has affected our self-esteem and interpersonal relationships. We also delve into the impact of colonialism and structural violence on the African family and social relations. Understanding toxic family patterns from a systemic perspective allows us to discuss how generational trauma perpetuates the cycle of toxicity. For the second part of this incredible series, join us next week as we discuss narcissism, personality disorders and how they perpetuate abusive parent-child relations.



Laura is a fourth-year student wrapping up her degree at the University of Toronto in Digital Enterprise Management. She is passionate about the socio-economic empowerment of women, especially those experiencing gender-based violence. Her own healing journey has taught her how domestic unrest can cause future maladaptive behaviours & life decisions. But through healing, she believes that we can unlearn those patterns.
