About this episode

Dr. Ates discusses the importance of reparenting in breaking generational cycles and fostering a healthier family legacy.

You can’t parent differently if you haven’t addressed what shaped you. In this episode of The Legacy Table, Dr. Ates explores the role of reparenting in breaking generational cycles and building a healthier legacy for your family. Many parents desire to do better for their children, but without confronting past experiences, emotional wounds, and learned behaviors, those same patterns continue to show up in everyday parenting. Reparenting is the process of giving yourself what you may not have received—emotional support, regulation, consistency, and understanding. It requires self-awareness, intentionality, and a willingness to take responsibility for how you show up. Dr. Ates breaks down how unhealed trauma influences reactions, communication, and discipline, and why awareness alone isn’t enough to create change. She also highlights the importance of emotional regulation and intentional parenting in creating a stable and supportive environment for children. This episode challenges you to reflect on what you’re carrying and how it may be shaping your home, so you can begin building a legacy rooted in healing, resilience, and emotional health.
