À propos de cet audio

Long before he became a miser, Scrooge was a lonely boy left behind at boarding school—forgotten, unwanted, and emotionally starved. In this IFS-informed exploration, Rick traces how those early wounds formed exiled parts burdened with shame and abandonment, which in turn gave rise to the controlling, isolated adult we meet in A Christmas Carol. Scrooge’s obsession with money, his cold demeanor, and his rejection of connection weren’t signs of greed—they were survival strategies. Through this lens, Dickens’ story becomes more than a tale of redemption—it’s a powerful look at how childhood trauma shapes adult financial behavior and how healing begins when we finally turn toward those long-forgotten parts.
