Adult Child of Dysfunction

E 205: Breaking Generational Trauma: Recovery, Parenting & Nervous System Healing w/ Amber Tolbert, LCSW


Listen Later

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, we’re joined by Amber Tolbert, LCSW—a trauma therapist, supervisor, and founder of Healers in Practice™, a soulful community supporting clinicians in staying aligned with their values without burning out. With over a decade of experience in systems-based healing, embodied supervision, and nervous system-informed care, Amber shares how she helps therapists lead from a place of recovery, not performance, creating trauma-informed, ethical, and sustainable practices.

We also dive into generational trauma, addiction recovery, and the emotional work of healing as a parent. I open up about my journey as an adult child of an alcoholic (ACA), my 18 years of personal healing through therapy and holistic practices, and the commitment my husband and I have made to break generational patterns by raising our sons in a home grounded in emotional sobriety and conscious parenting.

This conversation is a beacon of hope for therapists, adult children of dysfunctional families, and anyone navigating recovery and parenting. Whether you’re a clinician on the edge of burnout or a cycle-breaker raising kids differently, you’ll find deep validation and inspiration here.

🔑 Topics We Cover:

  • Healing from narcissistic and addictive family systems
  • The realities of therapist burnout and how to prevent it
  • Why therapists must do their own inner work
  • Breaking generational cycles and parenting through recovery
  • The power of nervous system regulation in trauma healing
  • Creating safety and integrity in therapeutic spaces
  • Living your recovery out loud

Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in! If this episode spoke to your heart, just know there’s even more support waiting for you.

I work with people who are ready to heal from the inside out — especially those dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, inflammation, gut issues, or burnout. If you’ve been struggling with symptoms your doctors can’t fully explain, it may be that your past is still living in your body. Unhealed emotional wounds and nervous system dysregulation often show up as physical and mental health challenges — and I’m here to help you break that cycle.

As an international inspirational speaker, NLP Practitioner, Trauma-Informed Coach, Neurofit Trainer, and Best-Selling Author, I bring both deep personal experience and professional training to the work I do. I believe in prevention, not just intervention — and use a body, mind, and spirit approach to guide others toward becoming the happiest, healthiest versions of themselves.

My holistic toolbox includes nervous system regulation, trauma-informed coaching, nutritional support, and natural healing strategies,

Most of all, I’m your friend on this journey — cheering you on and reminding you that you absolutely can live your best life EVER. 💛
