And in cases where some form of childhood trauma is involved, unraveling our history with our parents is the most important step to resolving that trauma and moving forward. Whether we love them, hate them, or found solace in caregivers who aren’t related to us by blood, we can’t really escape our parents’ impact on our lives. Because whether we want to admit it or not, no early relationship impacts us like the one we have with our parents. But the truth is that there’s more to this trope than meets the eye. As a result, we sometimes acquire the impression that all psychiatrists are Freudians, unwilling to believe that anyone has a healthy relationship with their parents or that our trauma could stem from any other source. Books and movies often portray that as the first question asked by psychiatrists and its repetitive frequency often renders the question laughable.
