The gap between the parent we want to be and our reactions in difficult moments can feel like a canyon. I see it in my clients’ eyes—the confusion, the shame, the wondering how they could have yelled again when they promised themselves they wouldn’t.

“Good Inside” meets parents exactly where they are, in that messy, beautiful struggle. It offers a compassionate framework that honors both the child’s needs and the parent’s humanity. What I love most is how this approach mirrors what happens in therapy: we create space for understanding before change. My clients who embrace these principles don’t just transform their relationship with their children—they discover a gentler way of being with themselves.
