Healing from Toxic Family Systems with Patrick Teahan
Update: 2025-08-05
Description
In this episode of Dysfunctional, I’m joined by therapist and childhood trauma expert Patrick Teahan for a raw and powerful conversation about healing from toxic family systems.
We explore:
- Why estrangement can be necessary for healing — and the grief that follows
- How toxic parents keep control through subtle emotional tactics
- The long-term impact of growing up in dysfunctional family systems
- The limits of 12-step recovery when it comes to childhood trauma
- Why grieving the parent you never had is a turning point in recovery
- How society mirrors toxic family dynamics — and what it takes to break the cycle
Patrick also shares insights from his group therapy model, the Relationship Recovery Process, and reflects on his journey from early therapy to becoming a leading voice in the trauma recovery space.
If you're healing from family dysfunction, this one will land deeply.
