Addicted to Chaos: Boundaries, Triggers & Rebuilding Self-Trust w/ Amy Fiedler Nov 12, 2025

You didn’t choose chaos; your nervous system learned to crave it. Learn to read your body, set real boundaries, and stop mistaking calm for danger.

Amy Fiedler is a trauma specialist and coach known for practical, nervous-system-informed boundary work. She grew up around alcoholism and chronic shaming—an environment of denial, gaslighting, and volatility that wired her to over-tolerate. After years of toxic, abusive relationships, she chose herself, did the work, and now helps others do the same by rebuilding self-trust with values-based boundaries.

✨ What this episode explores:

▪️The 3–3–3 Boundary Method — How stating a limit up to three times with matched follow-through reveals remorse, accountability, and change—or signals it’s time to reduce access.

▪️From Triangulation to Truth — How to end go-between roles, speak directly, and set limits so sibling and parent dynamics stop running your life.

▪️Triggers as Data, Not Danger — How asking “history or violation?” in the moment turns reactivity into principled action.

▪️Safety Before Strategy — How regulating before you speak lets you set boundaries from values instead of panic.

▪️From Being Chosen to Choosing Yourself — What changes when you map the behaviors you value, decline what you don’t, and align consequences so self-respect outranks scarcity.

▪️Healing in Healthy Love — How co-regulation and repair with safe partners build capacity, even when old triggers surface.

The Deeper Truth About Fawning: How Survival Turns Into Self-Abandonment w/ Ingrid Clayton Nov 05, 2025

Fawning isn’t people-pleasing — it’s self-erasure in the name of survival. This episode dives into the hidden trauma response behind your need to stay small and what it takes to finally come home to yourself.

Dr. Ingrid Clayton is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in complex trauma and the author of Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves — and How to Find Our Way Back, a groundbreaking guide to the often-overlooked “fourth F” of trauma. In this conversation, she shares how fawning once defined her relationships, identity, and sense of safety — and how becoming a mother and confronting her own mother’s denial of abuse ultimately exposed what it costs to keep performing peace.

✨ What this episode explores:

▪️Fawning as a Hybrid Trauma Response — How it carries both fight-flight energy and freeze-collapse shutdown and becomes the body’s default for managing power, hierarchy, and perceived danger.

▪️When Fawning Means Too Much or Too Little of You — Why some survivors over-function and take up more space while others shrink to survive, and how both patterns stem from the same survival reflex.

▪️How Fawning Shows Up in Parenting — How your child’s emotions can trigger your own suppressed ones and why breaking cycles means tolerating your kid’s feelings and your own discomfort.

▪️Sexual Fawning — How early sexualization and powerlessness can wire the body to equate safety with desirability and what it takes to reclaim agency, pleasure, and self-trust.

▪️When Healing Requires Distance — What it means to stop performing safety with a parent who refuses accountability and how to grieve someone who’s still alive.

▪️Reclaiming the Self Beneath the Survival Strategy — How somatic and parts-based healing help you reconnect with the voice, truth, and body you had to abandon to stay safe.

The Nervous System Side of Attachment: Understanding Anxiety, Avoidance & Safety Through the Body w/ Heidi Priebe Oct 29, 2025

You’re not needy. You’re not detached. You’re just wired for survival. This episode reveals how your nervous system learned to love — and what it takes to rewire safety.

Heidi Priebe is a YouTuber, writer, and educator with a master’s degree in attachment theory who’s built a massive following for her honest, body-based approach to healing. She grew up being labeled the “difficult child,” internalizing the belief that something was wrong with her long before anyone recognized the impact of emotional neglect. Her lifelong effort to make sense of that pain led her to study how attachment and the nervous system shape the way we connect, cope, and seek safety.

✨ What this episode explores:

▪️How Attachment Lives in the Body — Why anxious and avoidant patterns aren’t personality flaws but survival strategies wired through early experiences of distress and safety.

▪️Emotional Neglect as Conditioning — How inconsistent or rejecting caregiving trains the body to either amplify emotion to be seen or shut it down to stay safe.

▪️Anxious vs. Avoidant Regulation — Why one nervous system ramps up while the other goes numb and how both are rooted in the same need for connection.

▪️Perfectionism as Avoidant Attachment in Disguise — How chronic self-criticism and the drive to “get it right” are often nervous system attempts to earn belonging.

▪️The Window of Tolerance — How to recognize when you’re inside or outside of regulation, and design your environment to stay within it more often.

▪️Healing Attachment Through the Body — Why real recovery requires nervous system work and learning to feel safe in connection, not just think differently about it.

When Relationships Become Battlefields: Tian Dayton on Relational Triggers, Inner Child Fights & Emotional Sobriety Oct 22, 2025

Every argument has an audience you can’t see — the ghosts of the past. This episode unpacks how unhealed trauma sneaks into our relationships and how to finally stop fighting the wrong person.

Dr. Tian Dayton is a clinical psychologist, Senior Fellow at The Meadows, and author of 15 books including The ACoA Trauma Syndrome and Emotional Sobriety. In this conversation, she revisits the moment that changed everything — standing in her living room, locked in a fight with her husband, and realizing they weren’t two adults arguing, but two wounded children replaying their pasts.

✨ What this episode explores:

▪️The Trauma Beneath “Normal” Conflict — How seemingly small arguments can carry the emotional charge of decades-old pain the body never had permission to release.

▪️When Healing Turns Humbling — Why moments of regression often mean your system finally feels safe enough to touch what’s been frozen, not that you’re back at square one.

▪️The Myth of the “Functional” Family — Why growing up around unspoken pain or denial can be just as damaging as overt abuse - and often harder to name.

▪️Intimacy as Exposure Therapy — How relationships become the stage where our deepest attachment wounds are both triggered and given a chance to heal.

▪️The Courage to Feel, Not Fix — Why emotional sobriety isn’t about control or calm, but learning to stay present when every instinct wants to shut down.

▪️Healing as a Group Effort — How true recovery requires co-regulation, witnessing, and community - not just self-awareness or solitary work.

Trauma-Bonded No More: My Journey Through Shame, Regression & Finding My Way Back Oct 15, 2025

Ever wonder what happens when the host of a trauma podcast finds herself right back in the trenches?

A story about what happens when healing collides with old survival patterns — and how the body can pull you back into the past, even when your mind knows better. This isn’t a “how-to.” It’s truth-telling about the gap between understanding your trauma and actually feeling safe inside your own skin.

✨ What this episode explores:

Childhood relational trauma wires us for trauma bonds — When love and pain come from the same person, the nervous system fuses attachment with fear. As adults, we mistake that familiarity for connection and call it love.

Healing from the neck up leaves the body stuck in the past — Insight can’t rewire survival responses. You can name every pattern and still have a body that flinches, freezes, or fawns like the child who first learned danger was love.

Regression isn’t failure; it’s unfinished business surfacing —When old patterns return, it doesn’t mean you’ve backslid. It means your system finally feels safe enough to process what once overwhelmed you. The “relapse” is readiness in disguise.

Trauma bonds aren’t about the other person, they’re about your body seeking familiarity — You don’t stay because you want pain; you stay because your nervous system confuses chaos and inconsistency with connection. It feels like home because it once was.

Managing someone else’s dysfunction can become a lifelong neural pathway — If you grew up regulating a parent, control equals safety. As an adult, your brain lights up when chaos appears — the same highway it’s been driving your whole life.

Grief is often the missing layer in recovery — You can understand and accept the past intellectually yet still carry what you never grieved. Healing deepens when the body finally mourns what it lost — safety, innocence, possibility.

Season 2 Trailer: Adult Child is Back - Buckle Up for the Mess Oct 08, 2025

After an eleven-month hiatus, Adult Child is back... messier, deeper, and more honest than ever.

Host Andrea Ashley returns to revisit what it really means to heal from a dysfunctional family, through brutal honesty, emotional truth, and humor (of course).

This season kicks off with vulnerability and chaos — trauma bonds, repetition compulsion, and a story she’s never told before.

Buckle the hell up. Healing’s not linear, and it’s about to get real.

Mistaking Pain for Love: Mother Hunger, Self-Abandonment & Reprogramming the Subconscious w/ Lisa Romano Sep 24, 2025

What happens when the very people who were supposed to teach you love taught you pain instead? When you’ve been wired for abandonment and neglect, it’s no wonder your nervous system confuses chaos for connection.

Lisa A. Romano is a certified life coach, bestselling author, and leading voice in codependency and inner child recovery. After growing up in a home defined by addiction, denial, and emotional neglect, Lisa spent years chasing love in all the wrong places before realizing her patterns were rooted in unresolved childhood wounds.

🔑 Mother Hunger & Emotional Neglect – How unmet childhood needs for nurture and safety leave us chasing love in all the wrong places as adults.

🔑 Mistaking Pain for Love – Why chaotic relationships feel familiar and safe to adult children of dysfunctional families, even when they’re toxic.

🔑 The Cycle of Self-Abandonment – How people-pleasing, perfectionism, and ignoring our needs are survival strategies that keep us disconnected from ourselves.

🔑 Reprogramming the Subconscious – Why awareness alone isn’t enough, and how tools like meditation, journaling, and rewiring negative self-talk can change deep patterns.

🔑 Breaking the Family Denial System – How speaking the truth about your childhood creates liberation, even if it means being labeled “crazy” by your family.

🔑 The Path to Self-Reclamation – Why healing requires radical self-honesty, self-compassion, and releasing the need for others’ validation.

Abandonment Trauma Deep Dive: Shame, Relationship Triggers & 5 Stages of Healing w/ Susan Anderson Sep 10, 2025

What if the pain you’re feeling today isn’t about the breakup, but about every wound that came before it? When abandonment gets triggered, it pulls you straight back into the shame and fear of childhood.

Susan Anderson is a psychotherapist and author known as the leading expert on abandonment and healing attachment wounds. Her groundbreaking work comes not only from clinical expertise, but from living through the pain of being suddenly abandoned after nearly two decades of marriage.

The Invisible Drain on Self-Esteem – Why abandonment trauma creates a chronic leak in self-worth that no achievement or relationship can fully patch until the wound itself is addressed.
The 5 Stages of Abandonment – Shattering, withdrawal, internalizing, rage, and lifting — the swirl every survivor cycles through, and why knowing the stages helps normalize the chaos.
How Childhood Shame Echoes in Adult Love – The rejection, neglect, or humiliation we experienced as kids resurfaces in relationships, fueling self-blame and emotional panic when faced with loss.
Why We Choose Abandoning Partners – The unconscious pull toward people who can’t meet us emotionally, and how that cycle reenacts our earliest wounds.
The Role of the Inner Child – How creating a “Big Me/Little Me” relationship gives us a way to reparent ourselves and redirect attachment energy inward.

When Breaking Your Silence Means Losing Your Family: Narcissistic Abuse, Gaslighting & Fawning w/ Dr. Ingrid Clayton Sep 03, 2025

What happens when speaking your truth means losing the very people you’ve spent your whole life trying to please? For so many adult children, breaking the silence around abuse and dysfunction doesn’t bring closeness—it brings exile, denial, and the gut-punch of realizing love was always conditional.

Dr. Ingrid Claytonis a clinical psychologist, trauma therapist, and the author of Believing Me: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse and Complex TraumaandFawning Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves–and How to Find Our Way Back. Beyond her professional expertise, Ingrid shares her deeply personal story of surviving childhood narcissistic abuse, decades of gaslighting, and ultimately being estranged from her family after telling the truth. In this conversation, she opens up about how breaking silence became both the greatest heartbreak of her life—and the most powerful step toward reclaiming herself.

🔑 The Betrayal of Silence – Why speaking out about abuse often leads to family backlash, denial, and estrangement.

🔑 Gaslighting’s Lasting Impact – How years of being told “you’re the problem” erodes trust in your own memories—and what it takes to rebuild it.

🔑 The Fawn Response Uncovered – Why people-pleasing and self-sacrifice feel like safety when they’re really survival strategies from childhood.

🔑 Estrangement as Self-Protection – How setting boundaries—even with a parent—can be the only path to break cycles of harm.

🔑 Owning the Story to Heal the Wounds – Why minimizing or dismissing trauma keeps us stuck, and how naming it opens the door to real recovery.

Still Hoping Your Parents Will Change? Perfectionism, Codependency & Enmeshment w/ Alana Carvalho Aug 20, 2025

What if the apology, the change, the parent you always wanted… never comes? This episode dives into the painful hope that keeps so many adult children of dysfunctional families stuck.

Alana Carvalho is a licensed mental health counselor, author, and speaker specializing in codependency, perfectionism, and relationships. Having grown up in a dysfunctional family herself, Alana knows firsthand the toll enmeshment and unhealthy dynamics can take — and she’s turned that lived experience into a mission to help others untangle from toxic patterns and build healthier, more authentic connections.

🔑 Key Takeaways

The Cost of Waiting for Parents to Change – Why holding onto the hope of an apology or transformation from a dysfunctional parent can keep adult children stuck in cycles of pain and disappointment.
Perfectionism as Survival Mode – How growing up in chaos wires us to believe love and safety are earned through achievement, control, and being “good enough.”
Codependency Isn’t Compassion – The difference between true empathy and the compulsive caretaking that comes from enmeshment, blurred boundaries, and survival conditioning.
The Fantasy of Repair in Therapy – Why bringing abusive or narcissistic parents into therapy often backfires, and what true healing requires instead.
Healthy Love After Dysfunction – How breaking free from family enmeshment creates space for authentic selfhood, intimacy, and relationships rooted in freedom rather than fear.

Overcoming the Fear of Intimacy: Avoidant attachment, Emotional Safety & Real Connection w/ Paul Gilmartin Aug 13, 2025

When the people who were supposed to protect you also hurt you, your nervous system learns: closeness is dangerous. This is a conversation about what it takes to finally let yourself receive the love you’ve been craving your whole life — without running from it when it shows up.

Paul Gilmartin is a comedian and writer best known as the host of The Mental Illness Happy Hour, a podcast that’s been exploring the messier side of the human mind for over a decade. He shares about his own path through addiction, recovery, and learning how to build a healthy relationship after a lifetime of avoiding intimacy.

Key Takeaways

Why Avoidants Pull Away – How childhood trauma wires your nervous system to see closeness as unsafe, even when you crave connection.
Overcoming the Fear of Intimacy – Paul’s path from avoiding commitment to building a secure, deeply connected relationship.
Dating with Boundaries – What happens when you create a plan for slow, intentional dating… and what it means when you throw it out the window.
Breaking Old Attraction Patterns – How Paul stopped chasing red flags and learned to spot emotional availability.
Healthy Love Without Losing Yourself – Building a relationship where both partners have full, independent lives and connection feels like “the ice cream on top.”
When Vulnerability Changes Everything – The surprising power of disclosing your story early on, and why the right person won’t run.

Emotionally Immature Parents: How They Twist Love, Avoid Accountability & Leave Invisible Wounds w/ Lindsay Gibson Aug 06, 2025

You don’t have to be hit, screamed at, or abandoned to grow up with deep emotional wounds. Sometimes the most lasting pain comes from parents who smiled on the outside — but couldn’t truly see, hold, or care for who you were.

Dr. Lindsay Gibson is a clinical psychologist and the author of five books, including the bestselling Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. Her work has helped put a name to the pain so many of us spent years minimizing or couldn’t quite explain.

🔑 Key takeaways from this episode:

What emotionally immature parenting looks like—and how it hides in “normal” families and high-functioning dysfunction.
How conditional love and emotional reactivity lead to chronic self-doubt and fear of authentic connection.
What parentification is—and how being your parent’s emotional support blurs the line between love and survival.
The invisible wounds of emotional neglect: never feeling seen, soothed, or safe—despite having “everything you needed.”
Why some adult children blame themselves and seek healing, while others deflect, deny, and avoid accountability.

When Recovery Isn’t Linear: Relapse, Shame & Telling the Whole Truth w/ William C Moyers Jul 16, 2025

Recovery isn’t always a clean, upward trajectory — and most people don’t talk about what happens when it isn’t. This episode cracks open the shame, stigma, and complexity that surface when long-term sobriety takes a detour.

William C. Moyers is the Vice President of Public Affairs at Hazelden Betty Ford and the author of Broken: My Story of Addiction and Redemption. In this conversation, he opens up about a rarely shared chapter of his recovery — one that tested his identity, sparked unexpected shame, and forced him to reexamine what long-term sobriety really looks like.

Key Takeaways...

🔹 Redefining Relapse: Why recovery isn’t linear — and how we can reframe slips without erasing progress, identity, or self-worth.

🔹 The Weight of Perfectionism: How the pressure to be a “model” of healing can silence honesty and deepen internalized shame.

🔹 When Shame Returns: What happens when long-term recovery collides with stigma, secrecy, and unmet expectations.

🔹 The Evolution of Sobriety: Why what once worked may stop working — and how true recovery means learning to adapt, not perform.

🔹 Family Systems & Codependency: How generational roles and emotional entanglements can follow us into adulthood — and what it takes to break free.

The Cost of Playing the Good Daughter: Emotional Neglect, Self-Abandonment & Parental Estrangement w/ Laura K Connell Jul 09, 2025

You ever find yourself wondering, “Was it really that bad?” even while your life still carries the scars of a childhood you can’t fully name? That’s the fog of emotional neglect — the kind of trauma that doesn’t leave bruises, just a lifelong ache of being unseen.

Laura K. Connell is a trauma-informed author, coach, and the creator of The Self-Parenting Solution.

She grew up in a deeply chaotic and emotionally neglectful home, spent decades trying to earn her parents’ love, and eventually went no contact after one final, brutal conversation with her father.

In this episode, we explore:

🔹 How emotional neglect warps your sense of self — and why it’s so often overlooked as “real” trauma

🔹 The connection between self-abandonment, people-pleasing, and feeling invisible in relationships

🔹 What it actually means to reparent yourself (and why it’s not just an Instagram trend)

🔹 How inner child work can transform self-sabotage into self-trust

🔹 Why healing often requires stepping away from the very people you’ve spent your life trying to save

Unlearning Worthlessness: Spiritual Trauma, Repressed Identity & Inner Child Work w/ Nate Postlethwait Jul 02, 2025

What happens when the version of you that earned love was never the real you to begin with? This episode is a deep dive into the grief, rage, and liberation that comes from unlearning the worthlessness you were taught to feel.

Nate Postlethwait is a trauma educator, writer, and creator of The Other Side of Saved. He grew up in the deep South, survived years of childhood sexual abuse, entered conversion therapy at 18, and spent over a decade trying to pray and perform his pain away. At 30, a full-blown nervous system collapse forced him to finally face the trauma he spent years outrunning—and start the long, messy work of coming home to himself.

▪️The Weight of Repressed Identity: What happens when your true self gets buried to survive—and how reclaiming it often begins with grief, rage, and radical honesty.

▪️Religious Trauma & Spiritual Bypassing: How faith can become a weapon against authenticity—and why real healing means confronting the harm done in the name of God.

▪️The Cost of Performance & Perfectionism: Why many survivors become high achievers—and how nervous system healing allows you to stop performing and start belonging.

▪️Nervous System Collapse & Somatic Recovery: What happens when trauma catches up with the body—and how Nate rebuilt safety through EMDR, breathwork, and inner child work.

▪️Healing in Community: How real transformation begins in safe, shame-free spaces—where your story doesn’t have to be edited to be accepted.

When Healing Feels Like Falling Apart: EMDR, Dissociation & Disordered Eating w/ Cory Scott Jun 25, 2025

So often the moment we finally started healing is also the moment everything falls apart.

For so many trauma survivors, healing doesn’t feel like light and liberation at first—it feels like chaos, confusion, and losing your grip on reality. This episode dives into what it actually looks like when the nervous system starts to thaw.

Cory Scott is trauma-integration coach, an EMDR-certified therapist, and Somatic Experiencing practitioner who brings deep nervous system wisdom to her work. But before she became a trauma specialist, she was a young woman clawing her way out of an eating disorder, dissociation, and suicidal ideation. Her own recovery now fuels the way she helps others find safety, connection, and wholeness in their healing journey.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

Why EMDR can be powerful—but also dangerous—without the right groundwork, especially for those with complex trauma or a history of dissociation.
How disordered eating is often less about food—and more about control, shame, and survival, especially for adult children of dysfunctional families.
What dissociation actually looks and feels like in the body, and how to recognize when you’re outside your window of tolerance.
A free and accessible somatic tool from HeartMath that can help regulate your nervous system in moments of overwhelm (yes, even when you're heating up your coffee).
Why real trauma healing isn’t about gritting your way through the pain—but expanding your capacity for joy, love, and pleasure.

The Truth About Codependency: Why It’s Not Empathy, It’s Survival w/ Dr. Sarah Michaud Jun 18, 2025

You think you’re being helpful. Supportive. Loyal. But what if you’re actually just terrified of being abandoned? Codependency isn’t about caring too much — it’s about losing yourself to survive.

Dr. Sarah Michaud is a psychologist and author of Co-Crazy. Despite years of sobriety and a successful therapy practice, Sarah found herself trapped in a toxic relationship in recovery — a painful experience that finally forced her to confront the deep, unhealed trauma she didn’t even realize was still running the show.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

Codependency isn’t selflessness — it’s a survival response wired by emotional neglect, fear, and unresolved trauma
The myth of being “fine”: how high-functioning codependents stay sober, help others, and still avoid their deepest pain
Why we mistake fear-based caretaking for empathy — and how to finally tell the difference
The grief of healing: letting go of relationships that only worked when we didn’t express needs or take up space
What real recovery from codependency looks like — beyond insight, beyond sobriety, and deep into the body

The Body Remembers What Talk Therapy Missed: Somatic Healing, Inner Child Work & Ayurveda w/ Jeannine Rashidi Jun 11, 2025

You can escape the chaos, build a new life, and still feel like your trauma is living in your body.

Jeannine Rashidi is a trauma healing practitioner, Ayurvedic doctor, and author of Abundance Beyond Trauma. She also happens to have one of the most jaw-dropping, powerful healing stories I’ve ever heard.

In this episode, Jeannine shares how she escaped an abusive, addiction-fueled home at 15, became a mother while living unhoused, and eventually broke generational cycles — not just for herself, but for her daughters.

Key takeaways from this episode:

– You can repeat your trauma story even after you’ve escaped it. Jeannine found herself in a relationship that mirrored the chaos she grew up in. It wasn’t until her daughter began showing signs of trauma that she realized the cycle was continuing — and that she had the power to stop it.

– Talk therapy didn’t touch the places her trauma lived. It was through somatic work, massage therapy, and Ayurvedic medicine that Jeannine began to access the pain, memories, and survival patterns stored in her body.

– Parenting while triggered is its own kind of trauma. Jeannine opens up about how her daughters’ milestones activated emotional flashbacks — and how healing her inner child became essential to showing up for her kids.

– The body gives us information before the brain can explain it. Whether it’s flinching during touch or chronic pain that won’t go away, Jeannine shares how the body holds clues to unresolved trauma — and how learning to decode them can transform the healing process.

– Healing doesn’t require retelling your entire story. Jeannine’s EDHIR process meets clients where they are, helping them explore what’s present now — and trusting that this will lead them back to what needs to be integrated, without re-traumatization.

When Sobriety Isn’t Enough: An ACA Recovery Story of Trauma, Dating & Grief w/ Francisco Jun 04, 2025

What happens when you get sober… but the pain is still there?

In this raw and relatable episode, Andrea sits down with fellow ACA Francisco to explore what healing actually looks like after sobriety — that messy middle where emotional numbness, grief, trauma recovery, and real intimacy all start to surface.

Francisco got sober as a teenager, but it wasn’t until he found ACA that he began to confront the deeper wounds of his childhood. Together, they talk about what it means to un-thaw from functional freeze, grieve in real time, and build relationships rooted in wholeness rather than survival.

Key Takeaways:

Why sobriety alone isn’t enough — and how ACA helped Francisco finally feel what he’d been avoiding
How “doing okay” can be a mask for emotional shutdown
The intersection of grief, trauma healing, and long-term recovery
How dating becomes a mirror for unresolved wounds — and a catalyst for growth
Why emotional sobriety isn’t about being happy, but being real

Why peace feels unsafe: Trauma Healing Through the Lens of Polyvagal Theory w/ Carmen Dominguez May 28, 2025

When survival mode is all you’ve ever known, safety can feel threatening. This episode will help you understand why your body doesn’t trust what your brain says is fine—and why healing doesn’t start with your story, it starts with your body.

Psychotherapist Carmen Dominguez joins us to unpack why so many trauma survivors can’t stay regulated, even when life is going well. We explore the polyvagal theory—and how nervous system dysregulation fuels everything from addiction and people-pleasing to codependency and emotional shutdown.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• How polyvagal theory explains trauma responses like people-pleasing, addiction, emotional shutdown, and the fear of calm — even when life is finally “safe”

• The role of “invisible trauma” — like chronic emotional neglect and unmet childhood needs — in shaping adult dysregulation and self-abandonment

• Why codependency isn’t a character flaw, but a nervous system adaptation rooted in the fawn response and emotional neglect

• The real reason healing doesn’t stick: how we retraumatize ourselves by doing trauma work before the body feels safe

• What to ask a therapist before working with them — and how to spot whether they truly understand nervous system healing or are just using the buzzwords

How Trauma Shows Up in Relationships: Codependency, Triggers & Healing w/ Jeremiah & Mallory Campbell May 21, 2025

If you don't address your childhood trauma, your romantic relationships will. This is episode raw look at what happens when childhood wounds show up in adult relationships—and what it takes to break the cycle, together.

Andrea sits down with Jeremiah and Mallory Campbell for a brutally honest look at how trauma, codependency, and unresolved childhood wounds shaped their relationship. From addiction and estrangement to postpartum depression and nervous system shutdown, they share what it really took to begin healing—individually and together.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

Childhood trauma doesn’t disappear in adulthood—it shows up in the way we fight, shut down, or try to fix our partner’s feelings.
Codependency often looks like love at first. Jeremiah and Mallory share how enmeshment and emotional caretaking kept them stuck—and what it took to shift toward healthy interdependence.
Family estrangement is grief with no clean ending. Mallory opens up about going no-contact with her parents and the emotional fallout of choosing boundaries over belonging.
Healing while parenting means reparenting yourself, too. The Campbells share how their children’s emotional needs became mirrors for their own unhealed wounds.
Breaking the cycle takes more than awareness—it takes nervous system work, real communication, and the willingness to get uncomfortable.

Toxic Positivity to Truth: Shame, Rage & Parenting Through Trauma w/ Alwynn May 14, 2025

What happens when the memories come back—but no one believes you? This is a story about shame, survival, and what it means to heal while raising the very children you’re terrified of hurting.

In this episode, Andrea sits down with Alwynn, former host of Let Me Be Free, to talk about the long, messy road from toxic positivity to truth. From repressed memories and rage to parenting through trauma, this conversation is a raw look at what it really means to heal.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

Repressed trauma doesn’t stay buried forever — it shows up through the body, through emotional flashbacks, through parenting patterns, and through the parts of ourselves we don’t fully understand until we’re ready to remember.
Toxic positivity is a survival strategy — and letting go of it can be the first step toward facing what we’ve spent a lifetime avoiding.
Parenting while healing is messy, triggering, and sacred work — and real repair starts with self-forgiveness and honesty, not perfection.
Shame thrives in secrecy — and healing begins when we can name our experiences, be witnessed, and know that we’re not the only ones.
Breaking the cycle means confronting family denial, rewriting narratives, and grieving the childhood we didn’t have — even when others would rather we stay quiet.

When Complex Trauma Looks Like a Personality Disorder: Dr. Kirk Honda on What Most Therapists Miss May 07, 2025

What if your "personality disorder" was actually trauma? The truth is, most therapists still don’t know how to spot complex PTSD — and way too many people get mislabeled in the process.

In this episode, Andrea has compiled the best moments from her past conversations with Dr. Kirk Honda — licensed therapist and host of Psychology in Seattle. They unpack the blurred lines between complex trauma and personality disorders, challenge common therapy pitfalls, and offer real insight into what trauma-informed care actually requires.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

Why complex trauma often gets mistaken for a personality disorder — and how that mislabeling can delay real healing
The red flags of a therapist who isn’t truly trauma-informed (and how to vet the right one)
How repressed memories work (what they actually are, and why trying to “dig them up” can be risky without the right support)
The overlap between borderline personality disorder and CPTSD — and why labels aren’t always helpful
What most people get wrong about narcissism (hint: it’s not just a buzzword for people you don’t like)

The Power of Detachment: A Mother and Daughter’s Story of Addiction, Codependency and Healing Apr 30, 2025

What if the most loving thing you can do... is let go? This episode is a powerful reminder that healing sometimes means detaching—even from the people we love most.

In this episode, I’m joined by Kristina Wandzilak & Constance Curry , the mother-daughter duo behind the memoir The Lost Years: Surviving a Mother and Daughter’s Worst Nightmare. Their story is a raw and honest account of Kristina’s battle with addiction and Karen’s journey of learning how to love her daughter without losing herself.

Key Takeaways...

Detachment is love, not abandonment. Sometimes the most compassionate choice is stepping back and letting loved ones face their own consequences.
Healing codependency starts with boundaries. Connie's recovery began when she stopped trying to save her daughter and focused on saving herself.
Sobriety is just the beginning. Kristina reminds us that the real healing often starts after getting sober—and it’s a lifelong process.
One person’s healing shifts the whole system. Connie's growth rippled through the entire family, proving real change doesn’t require everyone to get on board.

The Truth About ACEs: Breaking Generational Cycles with Dr. Nzinga Harrison Apr 23, 2025

You’ve probably heard of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), but do you know how they shape your life—and how to break free from the cycles they create? In this week’s powerful episode, I’m joined by Dr. Nzinga Harrison—psychiatrist, addiction expert, co-founder of Eleanor Health, and all-around badass—as we unpack how childhood trauma, addiction, activism, and healing intersect.

Nzinga’s story is one of resilience and radical love:

Growing up in a family touched by both substance use disorder and activism
Navigating her father’s PTSD and leadership in the Black Panther Militia
Turning adversity into action through her work in trauma-informed addiction care

This conversation will hit home for anyone navigating the long shadows of childhood trauma, and especially for those of us committed to breaking the cycle for ourselves and future generations.

💡 In this episode, we discuss:

ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and PCES (Positive Childhood Experiences)—and how both shape your healing journey
The impact of family dynamics, addiction, and racism on mental health
Nzinga’s personal story of injustice: her brother’s wrongful incarceration and her family’s fight for justice
Trauma-informed care and why timing is everything when it comes to addressing trauma
How Nzinga’s work at Eleanor Health is transforming addiction treatment with compassion, equity, and science

Unpacking Dysfunctional Family Roles: 3 Sisters, 3 Very Different Childhoods Apr 16, 2025

Dysfunctional families don’t raise kids—they assign roles. In this powerful episode, three sisters unpack the parts they were forced to play and how they’re breaking free.

Andrea sits down with three sisters—Kayla, Mariah, and Jackie—to explore the complex and often unspoken dynamics between siblings raised in the same dysfunctional home. While they shared the same environment, their emotional experiences, survival strategies, and lasting wounds were remarkably different.

Whether you’re the scapegoat, the golden child, the lost one, or somewhere in between, this conversation will leave you feeling seen.

What you'll hear in this episode:

The different “roles” assigned to siblings in dysfunctional families—and how they shape identity and self-worth
How unresolved childhood wounds continue to play out in adult relationships
What it’s like to awaken to the dysfunction as siblings at different times
The power of individual healing—and the added layer of healing alongside siblings
Why finding community (like The Shitshow) can be a total game-changer

🎧 Tune in now and be reminded: you’re not alone in untangling the past—and healing doesn’t have to be done in isolation.

SHITSHOW SATURDAY #148 - Humility in Healing Apr 05, 2025

The Role of Humility in Healing

Humility in trauma recovery isn’t about shrinking—it’s about softening. It’s the ability to face ourselves and our patterns without defensiveness or shame. So often, we expect healing to mean “getting over” something. But what if healing is about learning how to live with the parts of ourselves we can’t fully change? Some things—the body image issues, the fear of abandonment, the waves of rage or shutdown—don’t vanish completely. And when they resurface, it doesn’t mean we’ve failed. It just means we’re human. Real healing begins when we stop asking, “Why can’t I just let this go?” and start asking, “How can I be with this right now?”

That shift takes humility. Not just the humility to say, “I’m hurting,” but also the humility to say, “This might be part of me for a long time—and I can still have a good life.” It’s not weakness. It’s strength. It’s letting go of the illusion that we’ll one day arrive at some perfected state of “healed.” Maybe we never will. Maybe healing is a verb, not a destination. Maybe the work is in allowing space for the mess to still exist without letting it define us. And maybe humility is what lets us stop striving and start accepting—with softness, not surrender.

We were taught to strive for perfection, to hide our pain, to “fix” ourselves so we’d finally be worthy. But this path asks something different. It asks us to meet ourselves as we are. To integrate rather than erase. To stop waiting for some future version of us to be lovable. Humility doesn’t mean giving up—it means showing up. Gently. Again and again. Even when it hurts. Especially when it hurts.

The Deep Reveal: From Survival to Self-Compassion (ACA Steps 4-7) Apr 02, 2025

You can’t heal what you’re still afraid to look at. This is about confronting what’s been buried—and learning to stop abandoning yourself in the process.

In today’s episode, Andrea is diving deep into Steps 4–7 of the ACA program. These ask us to face the pain we’ve been avoiding, break dysfunctional family programming, and peel back the layers of protection to finally get back to you.

How Step 4 helps us reclaim our story by facing patterns, wounds, and protective roles through a “blameless inventory” rooted in curiosity—not shame
Why sharing your truth in Step 5 breaks the toxic family rules of “don’t talk, don’t trust, don’t feel”—and opens the door to connection and release
The emotional shift that happens in Step 6 when we move from self-blame to readiness for growth—even when change feels unfamiliar or scary
How Step 7 invites us to surrender old survival strategies with compassion, not criticism—and begin embracing who we were always meant to be
Andrea’s reflections on how these steps cracked open her healing in sobriety, and how they continue to shape her recovery today

The Neuroscience Behind Toxic Shame: Pathways to Healing w/ Robyn Gobbel Mar 19, 2025

Toxic shame isn’t just a feeling—it’s a state of being, hardwired into our nervous system through childhood experiences. Let's break down the neuroscience behind toxic shame and see how we can begin to rewire our brains for healing.

Robyn Gobbel is a psychotherapist specializing in relational neuroscience, translating complex brain science into practical strategies for parents and professionals. She authored "Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors," providing insights into understanding and addressing challenging child behaviors.

Key Takeaways:

What Makes Shame Toxic? Unlike guilt or healthy shame, toxic shame makes you believe you are fundamentally flawed, not just that you made a mistake.
How Toxic Shame Gets Wired Into the Brain Early experiences of misattunement, neglect, or invalidation shape how we see ourselves and stay locked in our nervous system.
Rewiring Shame Through Disconfirming Experiences Healing requires new, safe experiences that contradict old shame-based expectations of rejection and abandonment.
Why We Keep Recreating Trauma in Relationships Our brains unconsciously seek familiar dynamics, hoping for a different outcome—but healing means consciously breaking those cycles.
The Role of Memory Reconsolidation in Healing We can rewire our brain’s response to shame by reshaping how we store and process painful past experiences.

The Scapegoat Experience: Abuse, Healing, and Hope w/ Rebecca Mandeville Feb 19, 2025

Rebecca C. Mandeville is a Licensed Psychotherapist, Certified Complex Trauma Professional, and an internationally recognized expert in Family Systems.

SHITSHOW SATURDAY #136 - Nate H. Jan 18, 2025

Meet Nate: Confronting Parentification and People-Pleasing...

Growing up with an absent father and a parentifying mother amidst the backdrop of divorce, Nate was often the glue holding his fragmented family together. From a young age, the responsibilities thrust upon him shaped his early identity as the hero child, tasked with more than a child should bear. It wasn’t until a defining argument with his wife that Nate recognized the unsustainable nature of his people-pleasing tendencies, which were deeply rooted in his childhood experiences.

Join us on this week's Shitshow Saturday to hear Nate's compelling journey from validation-seeking in his professional life to advocating for mental health in his leadership roles. Discover how understanding his role as an adult child has led Nate to healthier boundaries and a more fulfilling life.

188 - It's Okay To Not Be Okay: Confronting Emotional Exhaustion and Burnout Dec 04, 2024

I’m pulling back the curtain on a deeply personal moment from last week—one that left me emotionally drained but ultimately led to a powerful breakthrough.

We’re diving into:

✨ What emotional exhaustion and burnout really feel like (and why they’re so common for those of us healing from dysfunctional families).

✨ How unresolved grief amplifies burnout and keeps us stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt.

✨ The connection between burnout and functional freeze—and why procrastination and feeling stuck are not failures.

✨ The importance of pausing, resting, and giving yourself permission to step back.

If you’ve been feeling drained, overwhelmed, or like you’re treading water but not moving forward, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about why rest isn’t just necessary—it’s revolutionary

184 - Peeling Back Layers Of The CPTSD Onion w/ Mother Wound Expert Bethany Webster Oct 23, 2024

When the mother wound expert finds out she has a father wound too...

Returning guest Bethany Webster joins us to discuss peeling back the layers of complex trauma onion! She shares about her shocking discovery of repressed memories about her father’s abuse, a revelation that showed up a full decade into her healing journey.

We also cover her decision to go no-contact with her entire family (because sometimes healing means walking away), and how post-relationship therapy with her ex helped her tackle deep childhood trauma.

Bethany Webster is an expert on healing the mother wound, coach, and the author of “Discovering the Inner Mother: A Guide to Healing the Mother Wound and Claiming Your Personal Power”

183 - The Unshaming Way: A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame w/ David Bedrick Oct 16, 2024

In this week’s episode, we’re joined by author, mental health expert, and professor David Bedrick as he discusses his revolutionary approach to dismantling shame and reclaiming our authentic selves. With his latest book, The Unshaming Way: A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame, David offers a trauma-informed lens on how shame shapes our behaviors, often lurking in the shadows of emotions like anger and procrastination.

David dives deep into the roots of shame, exploring how it forms when we experience trauma but are denied the space or tools to express ourselves. He emphasizes the importance of unshaming—inviting us to see our supposed flaws not as problems to be fixed, but as pathways to our own strength and authenticity. As we explore concepts from his new book, endorsed by Gabor Maté, we discuss practical tools for unlearning self-blame, understanding shame as an internal viewpoint, and living life aligned with our true selves.

Whether you’ve struggled with shame or are simply curious about how it shows up in your life, this episode offers insightful ways to start your own unshaming journey.

180 - Unearthing Repressed Memories Through Somatic Healing w/ Body Psychotherapist Naomi Morad Sep 25, 2024

Naomi Morad is a body psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, specializing in brain spotting, parts work, and inner child healing. Her practice focuses on helping individuals heal unresolved childhood trauma and reclaim their emotional well-being.

After sinking into a deep depression following the birth of her second child, she began working with a body psychotherapist and made the powerful connection between her depression and suppressed anger. This journey led to the surfacing of repressed memories of childhood trauma and abuse, ultimately reshaping her life and guiding her toward the path of healing.

In today's episode, we explore the intricate journey of addressing repressed memories, overcoming the fear of confronting difficult emotions, and the importance of daily mindfulness practices to enhance body awareness.

176 - Dysfunctional Family Dynamics: Navigating Conflict (Part 2) - Processing Anger Aug 28, 2024

Is thinking that you’re “just angry” preventing you from truly resolving conflict? 🤔

Anger is often a secondary emotion - meaning it is a mask for another emotion like fear, sadness, shame or disappointment. When we don’t recognize that our anger is masking deeper, more uncomfortable emotions, it keeps us from seeing the conflict clearly. Instead, we end up reacting to our anger rather than addressing the real, underlying issues.

True conflict resolution only happens when we dig deeper and uncover what's beneath the surface. It’s not about “winning” an argument; it’s about understanding ourselves and each other better.

In today's episode of Adult Child, we break down how to process your anger in a way that helps you get to the heart of the conflict, rather than staying stuck in a cycle of reactive emotions.

175 - Dysfunctional Family Dynamics: Navigating Conflict (Part 1) - Trauma's Impact on Conflict Management Aug 21, 2024

Do you avoid conflict like the plague? Is your first reaction in a disagreement to apologize, even if you’re not at fault? Or is your first instinct in a disagreement to go on the offensive?

If you said yes to any of those questions - then this episode is for you!

We are diving deep into how unresolved trauma from our childhood shapes our ability (... or lack thereof) to handle conflict as adults, common conflict patterns in dysfunctional families, misconceptions about conflict and conflict resolution that might be sabotaging your relationships, and the 3 primary conflict response styles (fight, flight, and fawn).

168 - The Fragmented Self: Parts Work & Dissociation w/ Jesse D. Jun 26, 2024

Fellow member of The Shitshow Jesse joins us to discuss the intricate dynamics of trauma responses, dissociation, and the importance of understanding and nurturing the fragmented parts of oneself.

Complex trauma can lead to fragmentation of the self, where a person's identity splits into distinct parts to cope with overwhelming experiences. These parts often include a wounded inner children holding the trauma, protector parts that guards against further harm, and manager parts that strives to maintain normalcy and control. This fragmentation helps the individual survive but can cause long-term psychological challenges.

Connecting with our fragmented parts allows us to understand and integrate the different aspects of our identity shaped by trauma, fostering self-compassion and healing. This process helps to resolve internal conflicts, leading to a more cohesive and resilient self.

165 - The Transformational Trip: Psychedelic-Assisted Healing w/ Myles Katz Jun 05, 2024

🔑Could the key to overcoming deep-rooted wounds lie in the transformative power of psychedelics?!

Myles Katz has been at the forefront of the legal psychedelics for personal growth and healing since 2018. As the founder of one of the first legal psychedelic retreats in Amsterdam, which served over 1,000 clients before its closure one year ago. He is the founder of Confluence Retreats – where he facilitates nature-based, multi-modality legal psilocybin retreats in Oregon.

Psychedelic Research Results

MDMA for Trauma: Phase 3 clinical trials found 67% of participants no longer qualified for a PntTSD diagnosis after three months
Psilocybin for Adverse Childhood Experiences: Study found psilocybin lowered the impact of ACE's on psychological distress
Psilocybin for Alcohol Use Disorder: A study indicated that psilocybin-assisted therapy reduced heavy drinking days by approximately 83% among participants with alcohol dependence
Psilocybin for Depression: Study found 54% of participants were considered in remission four weeks post-treatment – meaning they no longer qualified as being depressed

162 - Cutting Toxic Ties: Healing From Family Estrangement w/ Matt Kollock May 15, 2024

Healing from childhood trauma and neglect has a new soundtrack...

Matt Kollock is an alt-indie rocker hailing in New Mexico by way of Wisconsin. His second album ‘Family Plot’ will be released on June 21st, 2024 and is inspired by his dysfunctional childhood.

The first part of the album focuses on the trauma and neglect of his childhood as a sheltered, isolated and “too-sensitive” boy. Side two explores the positive transformation the artist has undergone since deciding to “go no contact” with his family of origin.

160 - Betrayal Bonds, Enmeshment and Sex Addiction w/ Dr. Lara Dye May 01, 2024

Dr. Lara Dye is a psychologist who specializes on treating childhood relational trauma that ultimately results in substance, love and sex addictions. Her treatment approach is focused on understanding how particular childhood traumas cause humans to grow destructive defense mechanisms. Those defenses, while originally a solution to the pain of the childhood situation, ultimately decrease healthy adult relationships.

Dr. Dye has extensive post-graduate training in love and sex addiction from the Meadows in Arizona (Pia Mellody) and is a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT).

157 - Unpacking Abandonment Issues: From Trauma to Triumph w/ Peter Yelton Apr 10, 2024

Born in a bathroom stall at a NYC movie theater, Peter Yelton’s mother vanished without a trace within the first minutes of his life. And so begins a lifetime of abandonment trauma…

Adopted into a family ill-prepared for parenthood, his father's struggle with alcoholism only deepened his wounds. Peter’s denial about being gay would be the fuel to his own alcoholism before finally finding sobriety in his 30s.

A failed relationship in his second year of sobriety caused Peter's abandonment trauma to surface, serving as the catalyst for embarking on a journey to heal the unresolved wounds from his childhood.

His decades of personal healing, professional experience as a therapist, and work with abandonment trauma expert Susan Anderson provide unparalleled wisdom for anyone suffering from complex trauma from their childhood.

156 - Addicted to Negative Excitement: Decluttering Your Life w/ Andrea Wait Apr 03, 2024

155 - Navigating Grief and Post-Traumatic Growth w/ Krista St-Germain Mar 27, 2024

Krista St-Germain is a grief expert, Master Certified Life Coach, widow, mom and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast. When her husband was killed by a drunk driver in 2016, Krista’s life was completely and unexpectedly flipped upside down. She now helps fellow widows to not just survive, but thrive in the aftermath of losing your spouse.

Key Takeaways:

Common misconceptions about grief and the healing process (Five Stages of Grief)
Grief can stem from any perceived loss and lead to secondary losses, akin to "death by a thousand paper cuts."
Somatic techniques such as tapping and yoga are transformative in releasing grief stored in the body
Post-traumatic growth shows how even through intense hardship, we can emerge not just intact - but immeasurably stronger

154 - The Not Good Enough Wound: Healing From Emotionally Immature Parents w/ Marie Selleck Mar 20, 2024

Marie Selleck is a licensed therapist and Parent Wound Coach – committed to helping women heal from the impact of emotionally unavailable mothers so that they can raise confident children. She shares about the toxic marriage which mirrored the dysfunctional relationship with her father – which led to the realization that she couldn’t help others confront their childhood trauma until she did.

Breaking through the shame inherited from subliminal messages from emotionally immature parents
The way that self-sabotage manifests differently depending on the dysfunctional family role you played as a child
How unresolved childhood trauma can influence your own parenting style, leaving lingering effects on emotional regulation and the ability to feel safe with your children
The valuable lesson of 'good enough' parenting, emotional attunement, and the power of repair with our children through acknowledgment and modeling healthy behavior

SHITSHOW SATURDAY #93 - Progress Feb 24, 2024

Today's episode is a recent recording from a Shitshow Support group where we discuss gratitude, including the below reading from Strengthening My Recovery -

Progress

“The ACA program has brought me the miracle of life. I am able to experience compassion, forgiveness, love, and gratitude, the emotions that make my life worth living.” BRB p. 140

Before ACA, many of us were so mired in our dysfunctions that if someone asked us how we felt, we usually just said, “Fine.” We probably didn’t even know how to describe our feelings, since many of us couldn’t think of more than a few anyway. This was the result of consistently stuffing them in our childhood and adult lives.

In ACA, we learn to change our thoughts, to gradually free ourselves from the things that are weighing us down. We see that the sky is often a beautiful blue; it’s not always cloudy. We start to see so many more possibilities for ourselves about the way we truly want to live our lives.

We find that it’s possible to have compassion for others in a way that doesn’t mean we want or need to fix them. We understand that we all have struggles; we offer help where we can, with no strings attached. Instead of carrying resentments, we learn forgiveness. We begin to release any bitterness and anger. Instead of being a victim and feeling as if we don’t have enough, we learn to have gratitude for what we have and for our potential. We find the miracles.

On this day I will remember the emotional gifts this program has given me, and with gratitude I promise to continue to open myself up to life’s possibilities through ACA.

SHITSHOW SATURDAY #90 - Gratitude Feb 03, 2024

Today's episode is a recent recording from a Shitshow Support group where we discuss gratitude, including the below reading from Strengthening My Recovery -

Gratitude

“The ACA program has brought me the miracle of life. I am able to experience compassion, forgiveness, love, and gratitude, the emotions that make my life worth living.” BRB p. 140

Before ACA, many of us were so mired in our dysfunctions that if someone asked us how we felt, we usually just said, “Fine.” We probably didn’t even know how to describe our feelings, since many of us couldn’t think of more than a few anyway. This was the result of consistently stuffing them in our childhood and adult lives.

In ACA, we learn to change our thoughts, to gradually free ourselves from the things that are weighing us down. We see that the sky is often a beautiful blue; it’s not always cloudy. We start to see so many more possibilities for ourselves about the way we truly want to live our lives.

We find that it’s possible to have compassion for others in a way that doesn’t mean we want or need to fix them. We understand that we all have struggles; we offer help where we can, with no strings attached. Instead of carrying resentments, we learn forgiveness. We begin to release any bitterness and anger. Instead of being a victim and feeling as if we don’t have enough, we learn to have gratitude for what we have and for our potential. We find the miracles.

On this day I will remember the emotional gifts this program has given me, and with gratitude I promise to continue to open myself up to life’s possibilities through ACA.

SHITSHOW SATURDAY #88 - Powerlessness & Unmanageability Jan 20, 2024

Today's episode is a recent recording from a Shitshow Support group where we discuss ACA Step 1 "Step One “We admitted we were powerless over others – that our lives had become unmanageable”, including the below reading from Language of Letting Go -

Powerlessness and Unmanageability

Willpower is not the key to the way of life we are seeking. Surrender is.

"I have spent much of my life trying to make people be, do, or feel something they aren't, don't want to do, and choose not to feel. I have made them, and myself, crazy in that process," said one recovering woman.

I spent my childhood trying to make an alcoholic father who didn't love himself be a normal person who loved me. I then married an alcoholic and spent a decade trying to make him stop drinking.

I have spent years trying to make emotionally unavailable people be emotionally present for me. I have spent even more years trying to make family members, who are content feeling miserable, happy.

What I'm saying is this: I've spent much of my life desperately and vainly trying to do the impossible and feeling like a failure when I couldn't. It's been like planting corn and trying to make the seeds grow peas. Won't work!

By surrendering to powerlessness, I gain the presence of mind to stop wasting my time and energy trying to change and control that which I cannot change and control. It gives me permission to stop trying to do the impossible and focus on what is possible: being who I am, loving myself, feeling what I feel, and doing what I want to do with my life.

In recovery, we learn to stop fighting lions, simply because we cannot win. We also learn that the more we are focused on controlling and changing others, the more unmanageable our life becomes. The more we focus on living our own life, the more we have a life to live, and the more manageable our life will become.

Today, I will accept powerlessness where I have no power to change things, and I'll allow my life to become manageable.

SHITSHOW SATURDAY #87 - Overcoming Toxic Guilt Jan 13, 2024

Today's episode is a recent recording from a Shitshow Support group where we discuss toxic guilt, including the below reading from Language of Letting Go -

Letting Go of Guilt (January 11th)

"There's a good trick that people in dysfunctional relationships use," said one recovering woman. "The other person does something inappropriate or wrong, then stands there until you feel guilty and end up apologizing."

It's imperative that we stop feeling so guilty.

Much of the time, the things we feel guilty about are not our issues. Another person behaves inappropriately or in some way violates our boundaries. We challenge the behavior, and the person gets angry and defensive. Then we feel guilty.

Guilt can prevent us from setting the boundaries that would be in our best interests, and in other people's best interests. Guilt can stop us from taking healthy care of ourselves.

We don't have to let others count on the fact that we'll always feel guilty. We don't have to allow ourselves to be controlled by guilt - earned or unearned! We can break through the barrier of guilt that holds us back from self care. Push. Push harder. We are not at fault, crazy, or wrong. We have a right to set boundaries and to insist on appropriate treatment. We can separate another's issues from our issues, and let the person experience the consequences of his or her own behavior, including guilt. We can trust ourselves to know when our boundaries are being violated.

Today, I will let go of my big and little guilty feelings. Light and love are on my side.

144 - Healing From Toxic Parents: Navigating The Journey to Emotional Freedom w/ Ana Maria Jan 10, 2024

Physical symptoms were Ana Maria's wake-up call 10 years ago. A trip to the ER led to a therapist's couch, where she learned that the adrenal fatigue and other on-going medical concerns she had been suffering from were the somatic symptoms of her unresolved developmental trauma. She has spent the past 10 years healing the scars of her past and helps others to do the same as a life coach and healing strategist.

In today’s episode, we discuss…

- The pattern of seeking familiar yet unhealthy dynamics in romance, friendship and work

- Reconciling the duty to our toxic parents with our need for self-preservation

- How the nuts and bolts of healing childhood developmental trauma occurs in “interactionship” with others

- The pain of grieving your parents while they’re still alive

130 - Addicted to Fear & Chaos - The Adult Child Inner Drug Store w/ Dr. Scott Lyons Sep 20, 2023

Procrastination, toxic relationships, running late, not paying our bills, staring arguments - these are just a few of the ways adult children of alcoholic and dysfunctional family manifest chaos in their lives.

In today’s episode, we discuss ACA Laundry List Trait 8 - “we became addicted to excitement” and how growing up in a dysfunctional family oriented our nervous system towards fear and excitement in adulthood.

Dr. Scott Lyons (@DrScottLyons) is a holistic psychologist, educator, a renowned body-based trauma expert, and author of Addicted to Drama: Healing Dependency on Crisis and Chaos in Yourself and Others. Scott is the creator of The Embody Lab—the largest online learning platform for body-based trauma therapies—and developer of Somatic Stress Release, a holistic process of restoring biological resilience.

128 - Fear of Abandonment, People Pleasing and Inner Child Wounds with Energy Healing Practitioner John Steen Sep 06, 2023

John Steen is an energy healing practitioner and fellow adult child of an alcoholic. He grew up in Boston with an alcoholic mother and emotionally unavailable father in a volatile and chaotic household.

John hit an emotional bottom in October 2020, which made him realize that despite his years of therapy and 12-step programs - he still had not addressed his fear of abandonment, people-pleasing tendencies and inner child wounds.

His subsequent recovery journey led him to Field Dynamics - an energy healing modality created by Keith Parker. He is now a Field Dynamics practitioner helping others clear their energetic blocks that are keeping them from living in their highest potential.

120 - Attachment Styles, Intimacy and Money w/ Tiffany Carter Jul 12, 2023

We tend to view attachment style through the lens of romantic relationships, but it goes way beyond that. Our attachment style impacts most if not all aspects of our lives.... one of which being our relationship with money.

Today we are joined by returning guest, fellow shitshow Tiffany Carter. We are talking about what intimacy looks like in a friendship, her ice cream addiction, and what insecure attachment looks like in our relationship with money. Tiffany is business coach, money mind expert, and host of the podcast ProjectME with Tiffany Carter – Entrepreneurship & Millionaire Mindset.

116 - The Healing Power of Community & Connection Jun 14, 2023

Two of the most insidious issues resulting from growing up in an alcoholic or dysfunctional family are the feelings of shame and isolation. These feelings often keep us stuck in our pain and block us from getting the help we need in adulthood. We want to heal, but we want to do it alone.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. Healing happens in community and through safe relationships - not in isolation. Being part of a community provides us with a sense of belonging, connection and support that is necessary to the healing process. Here’s why…

1. Emotional support: Being part of a community provides a safe space to share your feelings, experiences, and challenges with people who understand and empathize with what you are going through.

2. Reduced isolation: By being part of a community, you have the opportunity to connect with others, reducing feelings of isolation and promoting a sense of social connectedness.

3. Shared knowledge and resources: Being part of a community can also provide access to shared knowledge and resources that can be helpful in the healing process.

4. Increased motivation: Being part of a community can increase motivation to heal and make positive changes. Seeing others who have gone through similar experiences and come out stronger on the other side can be inspiring and encouraging, motivating individuals to continue on their own healing journey.

112 - Childhood Trauma & ADHD w/ Kristen Carder May 17, 2023

Is it ADHD, complex PTSD or both? Distinguishing between the two can be challenging for several reasons:

Overlapping symptoms: Both ADHD and PTSD share some common symptoms, such as difficulties with concentration, impulsivity, irritability, and restlessness. These overlapping symptoms can make it difficult to differentiate between the two conditions based solely on observed behaviors.
Co-occurring conditions: ADHD and PTSD can coexist in the same individual. It is not uncommon for someone with PTSD to also have ADHD or vice versa. The presence of multiple conditions can complicate the diagnostic process and make it harder to attribute specific symptoms to one disorder.
Trauma-related factors: Traumatic experiences, which are central to PTSD, can also impact attention, cognitive functioning, and emotional regulation. The cognitive and emotional effects of trauma can resemble symptoms of ADHD, leading to misinterpretation or misdiagnosis.
Developmental considerations: Both ADHD and PTSD can have onset during childhood or adolescence. Some symptoms associated with ADHD, such as inattention and hyperactivity, can be mistakenly attributed to trauma-related difficulties in concentration and arousal regulation.

In today's episode I am joined by Kirsten Carder, the host of the I Have ADHD podcast. She helps adults with ADHD create the life that they’ve always wanted in her coaching program, Focused. She has been living life with ADHD and accomplishing everything she set her mind to, and now she’s dedicating her life to helping other adults with ADHD do the same thing.

105 - The Codependent Perfectionist w/ Alana Carvalho Mar 22, 2023

Codependency and perfectionism... two peas in a pod. They are both reactions to internalized shame and the belief that there's something wrong with us. They are both rooted in the belief that we are not okay. They are both rooted in the belief that we must mold into someone we are not in order to be loved and accepted. They are both rooted in seeking external validation in order to feel okay about ourselves.

“Perfectionism is a response to a shame-based and controlling home. The child mistakenly believes that she can avoid being shamed if she is perfect in her thinking and acting.” BRB p. 36

Alana Carvalho is a psychotherapist with a master’s degree in psychological counseling from Columbia University and extensive experience as a therapist, teacher, writer, and program director. She is the host of The Codependent Perfectionistic Podcast and the author of "Raising Empowered Children: The Codependent Perfectionist’s Guide to Parenting". She passionately assists people working on transforming their relationships, finding their voice, and healing trauma.

102 - The Unexpected Gift of Trauma Mar 01, 2023

For so many years, I believed that there was something inherently wrong with me and that there was nothing I could do about it. For so many years, I believed I was unworthy and unlovable. I then learned in 2017 that all of this was a big lie. The problem wasn't me. The problem was my unresolved childhood trauma. I was an adult child - and that there were other people who once felt exactly as I did and found a way to recover. That was the moment my life began. I have spent the subsequent years diligently working on unearthing the person I was always meant to be. In today's episode, I reflect on the divinely inspired journey that led me to creating this podcast and the truth that all of us are exactly where we are supposed to be experiencing exactly what we are supposed to be experiencing. AND THEN.... The Tale of 2 Brians continues.

101 - The Neuroscience of Toxic Shame w/ Robyn Gobbel Feb 22, 2023

Toxic shame is the core belief that “I am bad. I am unworthy. I need to hide my authentic self from the world in order to be loved and accepted” and a hallmark symptom of the Adult Child Trauma Syndrome.

In today's episode, I am joined by psychotherapist Robyn Gobbel, LMSW-Clinical, to discuss the neuroscience of toxic shame, it's roots in childhood, how to identify it in children, and its connection to insecure & disorganized attachment styles. Robyn has over 15 years of practice in family and child therapy experience, specializing in complex trauma, attachment, and adoption. She is the host of the Parenting After Trauma Podcast and author of the upcoming book "Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors: Brain-Body-Sensory Strategies That Really Work"

97 - The Outer Child & Abandonment Trauma w/ Susan Anderson Jan 25, 2023

Today we are joined by returning guest, the QUEEN of abandonment trauma recovery, In today's episode, we discuss the difference between the Inner Child & Outer Child, how to communicate with the Inner Child to self-sabotaging ways, and why we are attracted to the available, and how abandonment trauma leads us to be subconsciously attracted to the unavailable.

Susan Anderson has devoted more than 30 years of clinical experience and research to helping people overcome abandonment trauma and its aftermath of self sabotaging patterns. Founder of the abandonment recovery movement, she reaches out through her websites, workshops, and media to share her methods of abandonment recovery with abandonment survivors from around the world. Susan is author of four trailblazing books including The Abandonment Recovery Workbook & Taming Your Outer Child: Overcoming Self-Sabotage and Healing from Abandonment.

95 - Healing Trauma Through Breathwork w/ Regina Lawrence Jan 11, 2023

In today's episode, we are joined by former former trial attorney and law school professor turned breathwork and sound practitioner Regina Lawrence. Breathwork has been scientifically proven to be an effective modality for healing complex trauma. By creating a space for expression and processing, trauma, breathwork invokes a deep relaxation and a trance-like state, allowing for suppressed thoughts and stored emotions from trauma to more easily move towards the surface and be released.

91 - Complex Trauma, Dating & Setting Boundaries w/ Joe Ryan Dec 07, 2022

Returning guest, Joe Ryan, is on the pod to discuss navigating dating with CPTSD, attraction vs. attachment, the importance of developing an unshakable sense of self., setting boundaries with family members and the importance of sitting with our feelings.

Joe Ryan knows trauma because he’s lived it and learned to live beyond it. Joe has been on a lifelong journey to overcome trauma, shame, and the demons that plagued him from early in life. Now Joe is turning his mission outward, helping others conquer their traumatic experiences through his podcast (“It’s Not You, It’s Your Trauma“) and one-on-one coaching.

84 - Abundance Beyond Trauma w/ Jeannine Rashidi Oct 19, 2022

Jeannine Rashidi is the author of Abundance Beyond Trauma: Discovering Your Courage for Change and Commitment to Yourself. She is also a health & wellness practitioner focused on alleviating the core of physical, digestive, emotional, and mental tension. Having lived the first 25 years of her life with severe emotional, mental, sexual, and physical abuse, she began a journey of healing and changing the dysfunctional cycles. This was happening whilst building her own practice Goodbye Tension, treating clients who also had trauma or adverse life experiences, questioning whether she was the appropriate practitioner for them since she was still deep into her healing journey. It became clear that her experience, along with her honesty, vulnerability, and authenticity with her clients, were the perfect ingredients for trust and guidance in their healing journey. Thereby, she followed this path, trusting that she could help whoever came or could find a practitioner to help them. Now, 18 years later, she brings her personal and professional experience to you.

83 - Unhealed Trauma & Dysfunctional Family Dynamics at Work w/ Barb Nangle Oct 12, 2022

Today we are joined by Barb Nangle, a boundaries coach, podcast host and motivational speaker who empower peoples to live their lives on purpose by helping them develop healthy boundaries in their personal and professional lives.

After 19 years at Yale University as a Program Coordinator for Urban Ed programs, Barb was laid off and found my way into the world of entrepreneurship, startups and innovation in New Haven. That led her to start her own business in 2018, Higher Power Coaching and Consulting, LLC.

In the spring of 2019, she started my podcast "Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12-Step Recovery." It was born out of a desire to share all the many tips, tools and tricks she learned in 12-step recovery.

At the age of 19 - deep in addiction and living on the streets of London - she joined a sex cult guised as a spiritual community.

66 - Healing Our Relationship w/ Money Trauma - Compulsive Spending & Underearning Jun 16, 2022

In today's solo episode, we take a deep dive into the impact our dysfunctional upbringings have our money and abundance. It comes as no surprise that dysfunctional family systems often result in financial dysfunction . Given money’s influence on every aspect of our lives and its connections to emotions like comfort & security, dysfunctional family systems often result in financial dysfunction - over-spending, compulsive debting & underearning. Healing our relationship with money requires that we look at the conscious and subconscious messages we received related to money during our childhoods and understand how this may be showing up in the way interact with money as adults.

61 - Trauma, Cancer & Radical Self-Love w/ Saskia Lightstar May 11, 2022

On today's episode, Saskia Lightstar shares her survival story and how stage 3 breast cancer was the catalyst to her adult child healing journey. Saskia is a spiritual teacher, a wellbeing coach, energy healer and the author of The Cancer Misfit: A Guide to Navigating Life After Treatment. It took a lot of mistakes, failed businesses, divorces and being diagnosed with cancer, for her to find the willingness to venture down a spiritual path and become the happiest and greatest version of herself she has ever known. Plagued by self-hate and low self-esteem for most of her life, Saskia has now become a happiness and self-love ninja, and guides others on how to be happier than they ever dreamt possible. She is a testament to the fact you can feel lost or ‘less than’ your whole life and still find your way to a place of confidence, happiness and peace.

Lucy shares about her dysfunctional upbringing, her struggles with body image as a child, being sex trafficked at the age of 15 (TRIGGER WARNING), and the deep fear of abandonment that resulted from having a physically and emotionally unavailable father.

58 - ACA Step 4 - Why Our Past is Our Greatest Asset Apr 20, 2022

In today's episode, Andrea dives deep into Step 4 of the ACA program - "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves." We discuss (and by we, I mean ME!) the purpose, the process, the key areas of focus (shame, abandonment, resentment, harm, and trauma) and what it means to take a blameless inventory. We also discuss how an ACA 4th step differs from a 4th step in AA/NA, as well as the limitations of the 12-steps in addressing unprocessed trauma.

57 - The Making of a Cybercriminal w/ Brett Johnson Apr 13, 2022

Brett Johnson is a reformed cybercriminal who built the first organized cybercrime community - Shadowcrew - the precursor to today's Darknet Markets - and laid the foundation for the way modern cybercrime channels still operate today. In 2004, he was placed on the United States Most Wanted List , arrested in 2005, convicted of 39 felonies, and sentenced to 7 1/2 years in federal prison. Brett shares about his childhood trauma, his fear of abandonment, his experience in federal prison, and how he turned his life around after 30+ year criminal career. Today he uses knowledge and experience concerning cybersecurity, cybercrime, identity theft, and fraud to help individuals and companies protect themselves from the type of criminal he used to be.

50 - Jen Kirkman on Anxiety & Underearning Feb 23, 2022

Today we are joined by Ken Kirkman - comedian, actress, writer & host of the podcast Anxiety Bites. Jen shares about her loving (yet dysfunctional upbriniging), her career, and her lifelong challenges with Panic and Generalized Anxiety Disorders. She also talks about her challenges with money and underearning.

WHAT IS UNDEREARNING?!?!?

"Underearning is many things, not all of which are about money. Underearning is about

underachieving, or under-being, no matter how much money we make. It is about the inability to fully acknowledge and express our capabilities and competencies. The visible consequence is the inability to provide for one’s needs, including future needs. Our underearning can result from many things, including not acknowledging our talents. It can result from living on the edge by not making enough money, spending most of the money we have, avoiding healthy risks that can move our lives forward, and not preparing for the future. Underearning is about not living up to our unique potential, not following through on our dreams and goals. It’s about giving up on ourselves."

Underearners Anonymous Pamphlet

Jen Kirkman is an American stand-up comedian, television writer and actress, best known for her regular appearances on late-night talk show Chelsea Lately, and the HBO television series Drunk History. In 2011, she wrote for the NBC sitcom Perfect Couples. She is currently on a writer on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

49 - When Trauma Surfaces w/ Nate Postlethwait Feb 15, 2022

Nate Postlethwait - writer, survivor, & inner child recovery advocate - joins us today to discuss complex trauma. Nate walked away from his 13-year career in 2018 to take a break and reset. A couple of years prior he had two big life-changing events. In 2016 he came out as gay after many years of conversion therapy and the next year he turned 40. Both collided and launched the internal courage to make some changes in order to rebuild a life with more pleasure. Nate grew up experiencing childhood abuse starting at 5 years old. He began therapy at 18 years old and has been a life learner of all things trauma recovery. He began sharing his story on social media and that community quickly grew to over 100k people. His long-term goals are to aid in making trauma-informed therapy accessible for those who cannot afford it. In the meantime, he is a writer, a coach and leads others in finding a connection with their inner child.

47 - Abandonment Trauma w/ Susan Anderson Feb 02, 2022

Abandonment trauma specialist, Susan Anderson, joins us today. She discusses the 5 stages of abandonment, how to recover from abandonment trauma, and her own experience with abandonment stemming from her childhood. Andrea also shares a new chapter of "The Tale of 2 Brian's".

Susan Anderson is a a private practice psychotherapist in New York and the author of several books including The Journey from Abandonment to Healing, a self-help book about the pain of relationship breakups. Anderson developed her ideas after her husband of eighteen years left her for another woman. In her book, Anderson contends that the grief of being spurned in a romantic relationship can create a trauma powerful enough "to implant an emotional drain deep within the self that if left unresolved, leeches self-esteem and creates self sabotage".

39 - The Fear of Abandonment w/ Joe Ryan Dec 08, 2021

Returning guest, Joe Ryan, is on the pod to discuss the fear of abandonment and how to overcome it. Joe is the host of the podcast "It’s Not You, It’s Your Trauma - Trauma, PTSD, Abuse, Anxiety & Recovery".

The fear of abandonment is common amongst those who grew up in an alcoholic or dysfunctional family. Many of us grew up in homes where we were either physically or emotionally abandoned. As a result, our abandonment issues show up in adulthood as either avoidance or codependency. In order to address our abandonment trauma, we must revisit our childhood abandonment scenes and stories and feel the associated feelings we have avoided our entire lives.

38 - Why Dysfunctional Families Are Cannibalistic Cults Dec 01, 2021

In today's episode, Andrea dives deep into Step 2 of the ACA program - "Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity." We discuss what insanity looks like for an adult child and within the dysfunctional family system, the intergenerational & emotional cannibalization and cult-like tendencies of a dysfunctional family, how all that is required to heal is the belief that healing is possible, and the many forms of a power greater than ourselves.
