Have you rolled your eyes at the thought of doing inner child work, or avoided looking at your childhood trauma even though you know you’ve been through some sh*t?

Studies have shown the consequences that childhood trauma has on our brain structure as well as our attachment abilities in adulthood. Today, Tammy Vincent and I sit down and dive into how a traumatic childhood has shaped both of us, our 12-step work in an Adult Child of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families (ACA) program, and how we finally learned to reparent our inner parts so that we could be able to experience healthy relationships.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

- The life experience that Tammy had which was the catalyst for her to dive into her generational trauma work

- What being a people-pleaser ACTUALLY means, and how to shift away from it

- Our top tips for women who are starting to acknowledge the depth of their trauma so you can move through it with grace

▶️ Tune in for a vulnerable conversation about trauma and how to take back control of the impacts it has on your life and ability to securely attach in relationships.
