Psychology of A Child Who Grew Up Too Fast

‎Ever feel like you skipped your entire childhood? Like you went from being 7 to 27 without the in-between? If you were the "mature one," the caretaker, the emotional support for your family before you even hit puberty, this video will explain what that did to your brain—and why you still struggle with rest, boundaries, and letting people in.
‎
‎In this video, we explore the psychology of children who grew up too fast, a phenomenon psychologists call "parentification." We break down how taking on adult responsibilities as a child doesn't just shape your past—it rewires how you experience relationships, success, rest, and your own worth as an adult.
‎
‎Drawing from Dr. Lisa Hooper's research on parentification and trauma psychology, we examine:
‎• What parentification actually does to a developing nervous system
‎• Why you became hyper-responsible but struggle with the "small stuff" like asking for help
‎• How being needed became your definition of love
‎• Why you're attracted to emotionally unavailable partners (and why that feels like "home")
‎• The connection between childhood hypervigilance and adult perfectionism
‎• Why rest feels unsafe and productivity feels like survival
‎• How your worth got tangled with usefulness—and how to untangle it
‎• The exhaustion that comes from a nervous system stuck in overdrive since childhood
‎• Why you're fluent in emotional labor but struggle to receive care
‎
‎This isn't about blaming your parents or wallowing in victimhood. It's about understanding why you operate the way you do, and giving yourself permission to finally rest, to be imperfect, and to let someone else carry the weight for once.
‎
‎If you were praised for being "so mature for your age," if you feel guilty resting, if intimacy terrifies you, or if you can manage everyone's crisis but your own needs—this video is for you.
