Adult Child of Dysfunction

In this powerful episode, I sit down with the inspiring Michael Morgan, who shares his journey of self-discovery, healing, and finding purpose. Michael’s message is clear: “No one’s coming to save you. You have to take the first step.”Drawing from personal experience, Michael emphasizes the importance of breaking free from negativity and embracing the abundance of support and healing methods available. He reflects on the challenges of compartmentalizing painful memories, a skill many of us develop to survive but ultimately must confront to truly heal.Michael opens up about his childhood as a sensitive kid trying to "callous up" to protect himself from emotional pain. He recounts a pivotal moment at age 13, wondering why his father seemed not to like him, despite being loved and admired by teachers, friends, and family friends. These experiences shaped his early years and fueled his desire for deeper understanding and connection.Later in life, Michael faced another defining moment, realizing that working in a cubicle for decades was not how he wanted to live. His drive to make a meaningful impact led him to explore a career where he could touch lives and create positive change, ultimately choosing to become a police officer.Michael’s story is a testament to the transformative power of self-awareness, taking action, and embracing vulnerability to heal and grow. His journey will inspire you to face your own challenges and take the first step toward the life you deserve.🎧 Tune in now to hear Michael’s heartfelt journey and the lessons he’s learned along the way.To find out more about Michael, you can visit him at https://www.instagram.com/theresilientwarrior5778/#ThrivingAfterChaos #PodcastEpisode #HealingJourney #SelfDiscovery #BreakingStigmasEnding 2024 with a bang......Join us for "Shattering Stigmas: A Summit on Redefining Mental Health Narratives" where we change the talk and end the stigma around mental health issues.

In this episode, we dive deep into a question that plagues many adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families: Why do we attract the wrong people into our lives? Drawing from my personal experience and years of coaching, I explore the hidden patterns and subconscious forces that lead us to replicate unhealthy dynamics in our adult relationships.Understanding the Impact of Dysfunctional FamiliesChildhood in a dysfunctional household teaches us how to survive, but those survival skills often sabotage us later in life. We learn to anticipate others’ needs, avoid conflict, and equate love with uncertainty or performance. These experiences shape our attachment styles, often leading to anxious or avoidant patterns in adult relationships. Our subconscious seeks familiarity, even if it’s toxic, because it feels safer than stepping into the unknown.Why We Attract the Wrong PeopleThe traits we develop to cope—like people-pleasing, caretaking, and a lack of boundaries—make us susceptible to unhealthy relationships. We often gravitate toward partners who mirror the chaos we grew up with or who need “fixing,” as it gives us a sense of purpose. Emotional intensity can feel like love when, in reality, it’s just reenacting old wounds.Fear of abandonment and rejection also plays a significant role. For many of us, tolerating mistreatment feels less frightening than risking the vulnerability of being alone. This fear makes us cling to relationships that aren’t serving us. We also tend to seek validation from emotionally unavailable partners or even narcissists, believing that winning their approval will somehow heal the unfulfilled parts of our childhood.Breaking the CycleHealing starts with awareness. When we recognize these patterns, we can begin to rewrite our stories. Inner child work is a powerful tool in this process, helping us soothe the wounds that drive our unhealthy choices. Building self-worth and setting clear boundaries are essential steps toward attracting healthy, reciprocal relationships.It’s also important to redefine what love looks like. Love doesn’t have to be chaotic or dramatic—it can be consistent, kind, and supportive. Therapy, coaching, and support groups like Al-Anon or Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) can provide the tools and community needed to heal.Moving ForwardAs adult children of dysfunction, we are not doomed to repeat the patterns of our past. With self-awareness, intentional healing, and the courage to set boundaries, we can break free from the cycle and create relationships rooted in mutual respect and genuine connection.If this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Stress—it’s something we all face, but for adult children of dysfunction, it can feel even heavier. Growing up in chaos often leaves us more reactive to life’s challenges. But stress doesn’t have to control you. Today, I’m sharing quick tools you can use to calm down in the moment."What Stress Is:Stress is your body’s natural reaction to challenges, triggering a fight-or-flight response. While this helps in emergencies, chronic stress—like ongoing worries—takes a toll on your body and mind.Tools to Calm Stress Instantly:Deep Breathing: Try box breathing: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4.Grounding Techniques: Use the 5-4-3-2-1 method to focus on your senses.Muscle Relaxation: Tense and release your muscles, starting with your feet and working up.Quick Movement: Stretch or take a brisk walk to release tension.Calming Affirmations: Repeat phrases like “I am safe. I can handle this.”Cold Reset: Splash cold water on your face to calm your nervous system.These tools interrupt your stress response, grounding you in the present and signaling your body to relax. The key is to try a few and find what works best for you."Stress doesn’t have to run your life. These simple techniques can help you find calm when things feel overwhelming. If you want to learn more about thriving after chaos, connect with me through my courses or book a discovery call. You can rewrite your story."Ending 2024 with a bang......Join us for "Shattering Stigmas: A Summit on Redefining Mental Health Narratives" where we change the talk and end the stigma around mental health issues.

In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest struggles for adult children from dysfunctional families: setting and sticking to healthy boundaries. If you’ve ever found it challenging to maintain boundaries, you’re not alone. We explore five main reasons behind this difficulty, starting with the fear of rejection or abandonment. Often, those raised in dysfunctional environments feel they must prioritize others to avoid isolation, and that belief lingers into adulthood.We also discuss how a lack of clarity around personal needs and feelings makes it hard to recognize what boundaries to set, while guilt and a sense of obligation can pressure us into “keeping the peace” at the expense of our well-being. Low self-esteem plays a role as well, with many of us questioning whether our boundaries are valid or feeling unworthy of asserting our needs. Finally, we explore the patterns of people-pleasing and codependency that develop as coping mechanisms, where we feel responsible for others’ happiness, often at the cost of our own.By recognizing these patterns, we can start to redefine our boundaries and make meaningful strides toward healthier relationships. Join us as we uncover the roots of these struggles and share insights on how to break free.If you want to find out more, I invite you to join me in my 8 week course, Trials To Triumph.

After being diagnosed with cancer in 2017, Antoinette began the tough process of facing her deep-seated trauma and toxic coping mechanisms that, unknown to her, had fueled both her illness and her outwardly "successful" life.For years, she lived as what she calls a "highly functional dysfunctional" – with a successful business, degrees, travel, and material achievements – but inside, she was trapped in fear, depression, and self-hatred.

In this episode, she discusses:The missing link in healing – How mental health problems often masquerade as success, and the true connection between emotional suffering and physical illness.Coping mechanisms vs. coping strategies – Her journey from overachievement, people-pleasing, and emotional bypassing to true healing.Spiritual and self-help bypassing – The dangers of using spirituality and self-help to avoid addressing deep trauma, and how it contributed to her decline.The REAL link between mental and physical health – Why it's crucial to bring mental health issues, especially BPD, out of the shadows and break the stigma attached to them.As part of her mission to help others on their healing journeys, Antoinette will also be hosting the F.E.A.R.

In this episode, Tammy Vincent, trauma-informed coach and advocate for survivors of dysfunctional families, dives deep into the critical reasons why a child—especially before the age of 8—can never be at fault for anything that happens to them. Tammy walks us through the developmental science behind this, highlighting how young children lack the cognitive, emotional, and moral capacity to be responsible for complex situations or harmful experiences they may encounter.She discusses the importance of understanding a child’s limited ability to reason, their dependence on adults for safety and guidance, and the way egocentric thinking can make them internalize blame for things beyond their control. Tammy also explores how their vulnerability and lack of autonomy make them susceptible to manipulation and harm—further emphasizing that responsibility lies with the adults in their lives.Most importantly, Tammy stands firm on this point: it is never the child’s fault.

In this episode, we dive into how we can help children develop Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) after facing adversity, rather than becoming overwhelmed by Post-Traumatic Stress. Trauma can deeply impact a child’s development, but with the right tools and environment, it can also become a catalyst for growth. Here are six steps you can take to support a child through this process:Normalize Their Emotions: It’s essential to help children recognize and understand their emotions. By validating their feelings—whether it's sadness, anger, or fear—you can create a safe space where they feel understood, instead of dismissed.Build a Strong Support System: Children need to know they’re not alone. Creating a network of supportive adults—parents, teachers, counselors—provides the foundation for emotional security. Therapy or trauma-informed counseling can also offer a safe outlet for their feelings.Teach Coping Skills and Emotional Regulation: We discuss practical techniques like deep breathing, mindfulness exercises, and even setting up a “calm down” routine to help children manage overwhelming emotions. Encouraging emotional flexibility can prepare them to face challenges with resilience.Promote a Growth Mindset: It’s all about reframing the experience. Teach children that their challenges can become opportunities for growth and highlight their strengths. Focusing on their resilience can shift their perspective from victim to survivor.Foster a Sense of Control and Choice: Trauma often leaves children feeling powerless. One way to counteract this is by giving them choices, no matter how small. Helping them make decisions and solve problems empowers them to feel in control of their healing journey.Model and Teach Gratitude and Hope: Ending on a hopeful note, we explore how fostering gratitude and focusing on future possibilities can reframe their trauma. Encourage children to reflect on the positive aspects of their lives, building a mindset that embraces growth and hope.By giving children these tools, we’re not just helping them heal—we’re equipping them to thrive and grow stronger through their adversity.Ending 2024 with a bang......Join us for "Shattering Stigmas: A Summit on Redefining Mental Health Narratives" where we change the talk and end the stigma around mental health issues.
