Parental Controls

Whether you give yourself the option to choose who you are, instead of just defaulting to how you were raised.

Danielle and the Gut She Kept Ignoring

High fit

Parental Controls is about whether you're living by rules you inherited or rules you've chosen. Danielle's father's system — love is conditional, silence is punishment, performance earns approval — ran her life well into adulthood without her ever consciously choosing it. She chose men who confirmed the pattern. She silenced her own instincts because that's what the household required. The therapy work and the eventual revelation gave her the first real chance to decide who she wanted to be instead of defaulting to how she was raised.
