Episode 325:  🎯 You’re not in trouble—you’re just triggered.
What if the fear of getting in trouble isn’t about now, but about then?
 In this episode, Jackie unpacks a powerful truth many adults need to hear: Functional adults don’t “get in trouble.”
But if you grew up with shame-based discipline, that fear can still run the show—causing you to shrink, lash out, or disappear when you make a mistake.
We explore:
 Why emotional flashbacks feel like punishment
 How unresolved childhood shame keeps us stuck
 What real accountability looks like in adult relationships
 Why learning emotional regulation is more powerful than punishment
 If you find yourself avoiding conflict, feeling like you’re “bad” for messing up, or overcorrecting your kids because you weren’t allowed to mess up growing up, this episode is for you.
 Listen now to Adults Don’t Get in Trouble—available wherever you get your podcasts.
