Jerry Wise drops something most people never consider: you don't have to be abused to be broken by your family. The real damage comes from an unexamined pattern, a "generational emotional wifi," that gets carried silently into every relationship you build as an adult.


You think you escaped because you're not screaming like your father did. But you're controlling. Or emotionally unavailable. Or people-pleasing. Same root, different branch.


The trance of the origin family doesn't break itself. Until it does, you're just living someone else's unfinished story.
