128: Escaping a Legacy of Dysfunction: Outgrowing Generational Self-Sabotage
Description
What is a “legacy of dysfunction,” and how can a family history of dysregulation, chaos, and self-sabotaging behavior create lasting blueprints for adulthood? In this episode, we will explore the hidden scripts we unconsciously follow—whether it’s people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, or self-sabotaging financial habits—and learn why self-exploration and curiosity are the first steps toward breaking generational cycles. The conversation explores practical, low-barrier approaches to building healthier patterns, such as the HALT (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) acronym, setting mindful boundaries, and seeking professional or peer support without shame.
Shining a light on normalized but potentially harmful family patterns, this discussion is an invitation to move beyond survival mode and into genuine emotional freedom. Topics like emotional blackouts, hypervigilance, and distorted self-perception are addressed with compassion and concrete tools. Whether you’ve struggled with enmeshed relationships or simply want to cultivate self-care practices, this episode offers hopeful strategies for honoring your own needs, creating healthier relationships, and evolving beyond the dysfunctional scripts of the past.
