Adult Child of Dysfunction

E262: From Survival to Thriving: Remembering Who You Really Are


Listen Later

In this follow-up episode, Tammy gently expands on her recent conversation with relationship clarity coach Bre Waltas, diving deeper into how growing up in dysfunctional or chaotic homes shapes our identity, attachment patterns, and nervous system responses.

Tammy explores why survival, not self-discovery, becomes the priority in childhood trauma — and how that survival wiring follows us into adulthood. She explains how identity loss, people-pleasing, emotional hypervigilance, and trauma bonds are not personal failures, but intelligent adaptations the body learned to stay safe.

Listeners will learn:

  1. Why familiar pain can feel safer than unfamiliar peace
  2. How trauma bonds are driven by nervous system chemistry, not weakness
  3. Why logic and willpower alone cannot break unhealthy attachment cycles
  4. How healing begins by shifting from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What did my body learn?”
  5. How to gently rebuild identity through self-awareness, safety, and compassion

Tammy reminds listeners that healing is not about becoming someone new — it is about returning to the authentic self that was always there before survival took over. She also speaks to the power of being a cycle breaker, choosing conscious healing, and moving from survival into thriving.

This episode is an invitation to come home to yourself with grace, courage, and self-trust.

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.
