Complete transcript: POV: Emotional Regulation is the New Generational Wealth

Parent: You're so ungrateful. Who gave you a roof over your head? I sent you to college and made sure you had dinner every night?
Person 1: I am grateful for all those things. I'm just trying to talk about some things that happened when we were growing up. It doesn't mean that I'm ungrateful.
Parent: Okay, are you gonna talk about all the sacrifices for you or say something good about me for once? Kids would have died for what you had. Every Christmas you had more toys than some kids could dream of.
Person 1: You do know that someone can have material possessions and live in emotional poverty right?
Parent: What does that even mean?
Person I: Emotional poverty is when someone grows up without the safe connections they need to develop emotional regulation and full inner self. Growing up this way creates deep rage and anxiety, depression, and an inability to trust people. It's not just about giving kids things.
