In this episode of Love, Laughs & Lessons , psychologist Dr. Frankie Bashan and certified relationship coach Denise Rai sit down with therapist, educator, and attachment specialist Dr. Sasha Reiisi to explore the lifelong impact of childhood trauma, emotional regulation, attachment wounds, and generational healing. Drawing from more than a decade of work with children, families, teens, and adults, Dr. Sasha explains how early experiences shape the nervous system long before we have language to understand what is happening to us. Together, they unpack why so many adults struggle with boundaries, anxiety, people-pleasing, emotional regulation, and self-worth without realizing how deeply childhood experiences still shape their relationships and parenting. The conversation explores parenting, co-regulation, rupture and repair, emotional safety, social media’s impact on children, and the delicate balance between protecting children and allowing them to become fully themselves.
