As rates of parental burnout, anxiety, and intergenerational trauma continue to rise, more parents than ever are asking “How can I give my kids a normal childhood, when mine was anything but?” Dr. Robyn Koslowitz’s forthcoming book, POST-TRAUMATIC PARENTING: Break the Cycle and Become the Parent You Always Wanted to Be (Broadleaf Books; on sale July 1, 2025) offers a compassionate and practical roadmap with proven strategies for interrupting trauma-driven parenting patterns and reclaiming connection, resilience, and joy within the family.
One of the book’s most impactful contributions is its identification of different “post-traumatic parenting” defaults—the ways parents may subconsciously respond to their children through the lens of their own unresolved childhood trauma. These include:
The Entangled Parent:
Stuck in cycles of guilt, shame, and unresolved dynamics because they are still emotionally caught in toxic past or present relationships. They often push through parenting challenges while ignoring their own needs, only to feel reactive and overwhelmed.
The Perfectionist Parent:
Believes that only flawless parenting will protect their child from pain. They desperately try to avoid “messing up,” because even small mistakes feel emotionally dangerous, triggering spirals of self-criticism or overcontrol.
The Disengaged Parent
Maintains an emotional distance from their child(ren) to avoid vulnerability. They often overwork or stay constantly busy—driven by the fear that while they may not be able to meet their child’s emotional needs, they can at least provide materially.
The Paralyzed Parent:
Constantly busy, but rarely finishes anything. Caught between the stress responses of freeze and fawn, they’re overwhelmed by options, afraid of choosing wrong, and stuck in cycles of doing without progressing.
The Survivor Parent:
Still living in active trauma, parenting for them is like crisis management. They do everything they can—running on adrenaline, reacting in real time—simply to survive.
