Come Back to Care (Nat Vikitsreth)

Let’s take a quick breather from our inner child re-parenting series to re-center ourselves. It’s been a lot to process, hasn’t it? In this mini episode, you and I are going to explore three measures of parenting success that aren’t shame based but are more aligned with liberation and informed by child development science. If that sounds generative to you, let’s get started.

In this episode, you and I are going to explore an aspect of attachment theories that can help us make sense of our fear of rejection and abandonment. As per usual, we’ll also layer a political analysis on top. Then, you’ll unpack one invitation you can experiment with to heal your wound of abandonment and shift from codependence to interdependence in your parenting practice.

In this episode, you and I will explore a framework for strategic communications that a political messaging expert and campaign advisor, Anat Shenker-Osorio, teaches. Then, you’ll adapt and apply this three-part framework to craft your own statement that you can use to set boundaries and protect your peace with those who judge or critique your parenting choices. I’ll share various examples of what this framework can look like when the critiques range from “you’re too soft” to “you’re gonna let your child do that?” This way you can experiment with this framework, leave what doesn’t feel right, and as always make it your method.

In this episode, you and I are going to unpack parenting worries and fears that drive us to unintentionally center coercion, control, compliance, and domination in parenting. Then, we’ll explore a three-part process of powering-with so you can design your own way to balance power-over and power-with in your parenting. You’ll also look at how power-with builds children’s brain development and social-emotional development.

In this episode, you’ll hear about how I started social justice organizing back in 2007, how I’ve learned to love and trust myself in the world that simply hates that I exist and look fabulous, and what made me fall in love with serving young children, parents, and families aka you.

In this episode, you and I are going to explore one barrier that prevents many of us from meeting our children where they’re at. And that barrier is adult supremacy. Let’s unlearn this pattern of oppression together so that you can shift from power-over your child to power-with with them… most of the time. Then, we’ll pick one adult supremacy pattern to unlearn together and explore one fear that fuels our resistance to change. This episode is part one of our exploration and we’ll continue our unlearning in the following episode.

In this episode, you and I are going to explore lessons from research on queer and trans resiliency. And perhaps, when it’s safe-ish to do so, we can apply them in our lives so we can be all of who we are instead of contorting our bodies to fit into the tiny gender binary boxes defined by white, colonial, capitalist patriarchy. Next, we’ll explore ways to apply the same intention to family building so that our children can be proud of all facets of who they’re becoming too. You’ll hear reflective questions, political analyses, research on queer and trans resiliency, and child development science so you can design and discern how you’d like to integrate these ideas into your daily parenting.

Ep 51-52: Our inner child re-parenting series (eps 50 to 58) continues. 

In this episode, you and I are going to connect the dots between re-parenting our inner child and raising our children to take social justice action that’s aligned with their values, just like the university students who are a part of the anti-war movement now. You’ll explore three things you can play with today in your parenting to nurture your child’s sense of justice and advocacy skills.

A quick note: I’m taking a brief break and returning the first week of November.

---------------------------

In this episode, you and I are going to unpack the concept of “organized abandonment” together. A term that’s enlivened by professor Ruth Wilson Gilmore, a prison abolitionist and scholar. Then, we’ll explore one antidote to abandonment and codependence which is interdependence. We’ll close out the episode with four invitations for you to play with when you practice interdependence in your daily parenting. So that you can strengthen your social justice muscles of interdependence- not codependence- when you go out to your community and advocate for change.

The pressure to teach and prepare your child to survive systems of oppression can easily take over your parenting driver’s seat and put your social justice values in the back seat, especially when you’re exhausted. To relieve this pressure and slow down the urgency to teach people pleasing to your child 100% of the time, let’s step back and notice four lessons your child is already teaching you about liberation.

Are you looking for ways to align your parenting and social justice values? You’re in the right place. I’m Nat Vikitsreth, licensed clinical psychotherapist, somatic social justice practitioner, and founder of Come Back to Care. Here’s the thing, bold, conscious, and decolonized family-building is possible whether you want to build your family to be different from the one you grew up in or break free from the script written by systemic oppression. I created this podcast for you, and I deeply honor your commitment to raising your child with intention and integrity.

On this podcast, we explore how social justice, child development science, parenting, and family systems intersect with one another. In each episode, we find ways to unsubscribe from oppressive norms and unlearn intergenerational family patterns. I hope that you’ll walk away from each episode feeling empowered, knowledgeable, and inspired to practice both intentional parenting and social justice in your home while promoting your child’s development… most of the time (because life is real, and perfection isn’t).

This podcast is for you if you are a caregiver of young children and want to build your family at the intersection of social justice practice and intergenerational family wellness.

All you have to do right now is make sure you’re subscribed to this podcast in your favorite podcast player, so you don’t miss a thing.

In this episode, you and I are going to explore a question that one listener emailed me about attachment theories: what inner child wounds are and how to re-parent our inner child. So we’ll start by going right to the heart of attachment to explore why we need to shift from saying “attachment styles” to “attachment strategies.” Then, we’ll continue our exploration of why attachment discussions need to be grounded in a social-political analysis; otherwise, we risk perpetuating ableist, individualistic, and patriarchal illusions of mental health. We’re going back to basics together to get at the heart of what it takes to heal.

The Come Back to Care podcast explores how social justice, child development science, parenting, and family systems intersect—hosted by Nat Vikitsreth, a decolonized, licensed clinical psychotherapist, somatics, and social justice practitioner, and founder of Come Back to Care.

In this episode, you and I will explore a practice that can lower the volume of your inner critics and strengthen your nervous system at the same time too. I’ll share why this practice can be really nourishing, drawing on lessons from neuroscience, western psychology, and social justice action. If that sounds generative to you, let’s get started.

In this episode, you and I are going to unpack people pleasing or appeasement. We’ll unpack what’s going on in our body and nervous system when we people please. Then, we’ll zoom out and look at people pleasing in our social, cultural, and political contexts. And we’ll close out by discussing ways to address people pleasing in parenting. I hope we can shift the question from “am I raising my child to be a people pleaser?” to “how do I teach my child to use people pleasing when they need to be safe and then set it aside and be their whole self when they no longer need it?”

Ep 51-52: Our inner child re-parenting series (eps 50 to 58) continues. 

In this episode, you and I will zoom in on our nervous system and see what’s going on in there when we’re triggered both in parenting and community organizing. Between this episode and the next one you’ll learn about three concrete tools to replace automatically reacting when you’re triggered with intentionally responding to your child and your co-conspirators in the community.

In this episode, you and I are going to explore how our inner child wounds can complicate our ability to practice regulation. Then, we’ll discuss one action we can do to slowly cultivate regulation and safety, going beyond coping and surviving. So that you can offer regulation to your child and meet their needs where they’re at, most of the time. And this practice will help you stay centered in moments when your child pushes your parenting buttons too.

In this season finale episode, you and I will explore what parenting agility or the hokey pokey of parenting means to our liberatory practices. Together we explore how do we stay in the struggle for liberation and shape the liberated future for our children to grow up in amid climate catastrophe and systemic oppression? How do we keep going without blowing our pain through others or giving in to despair, cynicism, and burnout? How do we keep building the liberated future we want when we only have a vague idea of what that might look like? How do we honor the uncertainty and complexity of our liberatory practice in a culture that demands that we find the single, holy grail, evidence-based solution that comes from a top-down expert?   

Special note: I’m taking a season break and returning for Season 5 in March 2024. Thank you so much.

In this episode, you and I are going to unpack this question: how do we keep fighting for liberation in Gaza, Sudan, Congo, and Ukraine in between school drop off, pick up, and grocery runs? How do we fight against antisemitism and Islamophobia in between our work shifts, Zoom meetings, and the kids’ homework? How do we grieve the lives that have been lost when we can’t fall apart…otherwise the whole family will fall apart too? I invite you to explore a liberatory practice from disability justice by adapting the rhythm and pacing of your advocacy according to your capacity to replace burnout with sustained organizing. In this rhythm and pacing, you’ll experiment with ways to unplug and other advocacy actions to take to stay plugged in. It’s a bit of political analysis, a bit of neuroscience, and a whole lot of action.

In this episode, I’ll walk with you through a few somatic or body-based exercises. So that you can take a moment to take care of your nervous system and fill your cup. And then with fuller cups you and I can take action and demand a ceasefire…from a place of dignity and solidarity not fear, confusion, or performative allyship.

In this episode, you’ll hear about Aireen’s healing journey and how she puts the social justice parenting and inner child re-parenting ideas that we discuss in our podcast into action…most of the time. In our conversation, you’ll hear us talk about how Aireen was working with her parenting triggers to get unstuck from yelling at her little one. You’ll hear about some of the body-based strategies she and her child used together too.

Special note: I’m taking a season break until late March.

I first shared this episode with you last November and my mailbox got flooded with kind feedback from so many listeners saying how compassionate and concrete the strategy was. So, I’d love to share it with you again today, my dear co-conspirator.

In this episode, you and I will explore a framework for strategic communications that a political messaging expert and campaign advisor, Anat Shenker-Osorio, teaches. Then, you’ll adapt and apply this three-part framework to craft your own statement that you can use to set boundaries and protect your peace with those who judge or critique your parenting choices. I’ll share various examples of what this framework can look like when the critiques range from “you’re too soft” to “you’re gonna let your child do that?” This way you can experiment with this framework, leave what doesn’t feel right, and as always make it your method.

In this episode, you and I are going to explore two needs that children across cultures and abilities need from their caregivers to thrive. Then, you’ll unpack three things- action, awareness, and agility- that you can play with to meet those needs in your child...most of the time. Together, we’ll find ways to put 60 years of attachment research into action, so that you’re ready when systemic oppression leaves you too tired and inner child wounds leave you too triggered to show up fully for your child.

In this episode, you and I are going to explore the roles that you play in liberation both in your home as a decolonized parent and in your community as a social justice advocate. You’ll hear examples of small-yet-significant parenting moments that you’re already doing. My hope is for these mundane and messy moments to be a concrete receipt that tells your inner critic, “excuse me, I am powerful, not powerless, because of these specific roles I’m playing as a parent in literally shaping the brains, hearts, and spirits of the future generations.” Then, you’ll reflect on 10 roles you can play in your community organizing based on the Social Change Ecosystem Map created by Deepa Iyer of the Building Movement Project.

In this episode, I invite you to explore your parenting guilt and self-judgment through a new perspective, specifically through the lenses of both western psychotherapy and social justice action. You’ll walk you through reflective questions in a framework I call the 4 D’s to transform your parenting guilt and inner critics into actions that align with your values.

We’ll explore what social justice actions like pod mapping can teach us about how to build a parenting support system that’s based on trust, reciprocity, and interdependence. We’ll also unpack how inner child wounds can sometimes make this interdependence and community building work so uncomfortable and challenging.

The Come Back to Care podcast explores how social justice, child development science, parenting, and family systems intersect—hosted by Nat Vikitsreth, a decolonized, licensed clinical psychotherapist, somatics, and social justice practitioner, and founder of Come Back to Care.
