As children of dysfunction, we often acquire coping mechanisms in order to protect ourselves. The 10 most common ones are denial, avoidance, self isolation, people pleasing, perfectionism, hyper- vigilance, dissociation, self-harm, substance abuse and anger. But how do these coping mechanisms shape our lives? Are they healthy or unhealthy? And most importantly, can we make positive changes to lead more fulfilling and less stressful lives?

Join Tammy as she dives deep into this first part of a two-part series on coping strategies and how they have influenced your journey from childhood to adulthood. And don’t miss next week’s episodes as Tammy explores different, healthier ways to deal with trauma after you have had time to process it.
