Embracing the Wounded Child in Our Parents

Part of a new series of practices kindly offered by mindfulness teacher Sister Dang Nghiem, this audio offers guidance on the practice of embracing the wounded child in our parents. Its content draws on her latest book, Flowers in the Dark (2021), a deeply thoughtful guide to healing trauma with mindfulness practice. By bringing together her lived experience as a survivor, a certified MD, and an ordained Buddhist teacher, she offers a body-based, practical approach to healing from the most difficult and painful life experiences.

"Embracing the wounded child in ourselves, we also acknowledge that our mothers and fathers were children with their own vulnerabilities and traumas."
