Most of us have already lost someone we love and all of us are going to have to face the inevitable at some point. Those final days with your loved ones are days you will never get back and the last thing you want is for your Protective Ego to get in the way of being able to fully show up from a place of love, leaving you living in regret.

This episode will not only help you learn how to take care of yourself while taking care of others, but also help you understand how suppressed emotions can be triggered during these challenging times.

We take care of physical wounds, but often neglect, bury, or suppress emotional wounds that may linger long after a physical injury.

Join me and my dad, for this special Father's Day Tami Talks Podcast, as he opens up for the first time in almost 55 years about a tractor accident that changed his and his twin brother's life forever when they were just 11 years old.

In this episode we talk about:

• Did you "deal" with your trauma or just suppress it?

*I tried out new mini-microphones for guest episodes and apparently there is a learning curve! So, thank you again for bearing with me as I navigate this "producer" stuff on my own and continue to fail forward!!

Have you ever wondered why some adults struggle with perfectionism, overachieving, or overgiving? The answer often lies in childhood experiences. When a child doesn't feel seen or validated, their ego gets creative to meet this fundamental need. This can lead to patterns of behavior that persist into adulthood, impacting their emotional well-being and relationships.

In this video, we delve into the psychological roots of these behaviors, exploring:

The Role of the Ego: How a child's sense of self adapts when their emotional needs aren't met.

Perfectionism: Why the drive to be perfect can be a response to feeling invisible.

Overachieving: How striving for success and recognition becomes a way to gain the validation they missed as a child. Overgiving: The tendency to put others' needs before their own, hoping to earn love and acceptance.

Problem Child: How Ego can take the need to feel seen to extremes.

Understanding these patterns is the first step towards healing and developing healthier ways of relating to your kids, oneself, and others.

As children, we all yearn to be truly seen and accepted for who we are. However, if our ego fears it's unsafe to be authentic—due to potential ridicule, exclusion, or lack of affection—it develops protective mechanisms that persist into adulthood, compelling us to seek visibility at any cost.

In this Episode:

• How my fear of abandonment and rejection got my attention through my physical body.
