Have you ever felt like you're living in someone else’s life script—following invisible rules, walking on emotional eggshells, and carrying pain that doesn’t fully belong to you?

Do you wonder why, even after cutting contact, your toxic family still seems to echo in your mind, body, or choices?

Survivors of enmeshed, narcissistic, or otherwise toxic family systems often live in what Jerry Wise brilliantly calls “the family trance”—a psychological and emotional programming that conditions our perception, keeps us loyal to dysfunction, and disconnects us from our true selves.

In this episode, let’s explore the core dynamics that keep us bound: family trance, self-differentiation, enmeshment, the misunderstood role of the “identified patient,” and the trauma of awakening.

🌿The Super Self of the Toxic Family System

🌿 Unpacking what it means to be in the “Family Trance”

🌿 Enmeshment creates a lack of connection, just as distance creates a lack of connection.

🌿What Jerry means by “self differentiation”

🌿 Whether our relationships with our families are in contact or no contact there is always still a connection

🌿 We cannot use an “other-centered focus” to change our family

🌿 Being centered on healing yourself is not selfish

🌿 Enmeshment is not closeness.

🌿 How to start “Self Differentiating”

Jerry T. Wise, MA, MS, CLC, is a renowned family-systems expert and self-differentiation coach with over 45 years of experience as a marriage & family therapist, addictions therapist, pastoral counselor, and certified life/relationship coach. He’s helped thousands of clients across 110+ countries, reaching millions online as he guides survivors of narcissistic, dysfunctional, or emotionally immature families to reclaim their authentic selves—cultivating resilience, confidence, and calm.

His signature “Road to Self” program, along with hundreds of free videos and trainings, focuses on healing through boundary-setting, emotional detachment, and reducing reactivity, helping individuals break free from lifelong patterns.

Are you beginning to realize that your healing started the moment the noise stopped? The moment you cut ties with your family?

If your healing journey has felt spiritual, psychological, and deeply physical all at once, it's because it should be.

Spiritual teacher and empath mentor Jennifer Pilates, shares the embodied path of healing after cutting ties with a toxic family. Because healing after family trauma isn’t just a psychological process; it’s a full-body, soul-deep return to yourself.

🌿Learning to “be in your body”

🌿Healing and the mind/body connection

🌿Emotional repair cannot occur, and true health cannot develop into boundaries have been set or ties have been cut

🌿Manifesting a new life

🌿Spiritual healing

🌿Know who you are is a superpower

🌿You are far more powerful than toxicity

🌿Healing yourself gives those in your toxic family the opportunity to heal, whether they take that opportunity is not up to us

Have you ever questioned whether your neurodivergence played a role in the trauma you endured—and perhaps even helped you escape it?

Was it the trauma that caused the ADHD, or did the ADHD cause the trauma?

In this powerful conversation, let's explore how living with undiagnosed ADHD made Angie, an ADHD coach and fellow survivor of a toxic family system, the perfect target for scapegoating—misunderstood, mislabeled, and chronically blamed in a family that punished difference instead of embracing it.

🌿 Children with ADHD are far more likely to be the family scapegoat

🌿 Similarities between the highly sensitive person and adhd

🌿The adhd child is often the truth teller, blurting truths out and facing harsh consequences

🌿 The superpower of hyper focus

🌿 The emotional fallout of being an adhd child in a toxic family

🌿 ADHD a result of C-PTSD

Angie Hurlburt is a Certified Advanced ADHD Life Coach, proud ADHDer, and mom of two ADHDers. Diagnosed later in life, Angie draws on her 42 years of lived experience navigating the challenges of a neurodivergent brain and surviving Family Scapegoating Abuse.

Now, she’s turning her passion for truth-telling and resilience into actionable change through coaching and The ADHD Scapegoat Podcast, which she co-hosts with her husband. Together, they tackle ADHD struggles, childhood trauma, and the realities of being an ADHD Scapegoat by having honest conversations about our lived experiences in hopes of creating a brighter future.

Have you ever felt responsible for a parent’s emotions—like it was your job to keep them happy, calm, or stable?

Were you praised for being the “mature one,” even though you were silently falling apart inside?

Do you ever struggle to know where your needs end and someone else’s begin?

If so, you may have grown up enmeshed.

In this episode, let's explore how enmeshment, adultification, and complex trauma converge to distort the victim's identity and long-term relational health.

🌿What is enmeshment?

🌿Family dynamics that lead to enmeshment

🌿The difference between being “useful” and valued

🌿Signs that you are in an enmeshed relationship

🌿How to start setting boundaries to free yourself from enmeshment

🌿Enmeshment is a form of covert bullying

🌿Navigating the process of enmeshment all the way to estrangement

🌿How this process is unique to each person and the specific dynamics of each family

🌿How patterns of enmeshment impact you all throughout life

🌿How parents respond when you set boundaries on their enmeshment

In many toxic families, the scapegoat becomes the emotional and psychological sponge for everyone else’s dysfunction, pain, and projection. It’s a trauma-inducing role that is often misunderstood, dismissed, or mischaracterized as “drama.” But for those who live it, scapegoating is a profound and persistent form of psychological abuse.

One of our bravehearts, LaToya Rice, shares her personal experience as the scapegoated twin in a toxic family system. Our conversation explored the depth of this role and the toll it takes—not only on mental health but also on a person’s ability to form identity, trust themselves, and find safety in the world.

🌱 Mother Wounding

🌱 Jealous mothers seek to destroy their daughters

🌱 Being the scapegoated child

🌱How gossip destroys connection

🌱 Faith, knowledge, and therapy are the big game changers of healing

🌱 Setting and following through on your boundaries lead you to peace and freedom

LaToya Rice is a long-time, bravehearted follower of Dr. Sherrie for 7 years.

You are more than a toxic family abuse survivor—you are a cycle breaker. And there is a powerful difference between the two.

In this episode, find out what it means to move beyond the pain of being the “scapegoat” and step into the empowered identity of a “cycle breaker.”

🌱 What is a cycle breaker?

🌱 How each cycle breaker’s story is uniquely their own but also similar to the story of other survivors

🌱 The devastation of being discarded by a parent

🌱The grueling process of giving up how

🌱 How radical acceptance is like “building a plane and flying it at the same time”

🌱 Reclaiming your Identity

Dr. Taylor Damiani is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coach. She helps people who grew up with narcissistic or dysfunctional parents reconnect with their true selves through her group program, Reclaim You: Healing as Adult Children of Narcissistic Parents (www.reclaimyougroup.com).
