Have you ever needed a nap after an argument? Started shaking because you felt misunderstood? Suddenly become obsessed with fixing everything, keeping everyone happy, or getting the hell out of there? 

Congrats, your trauma response was activated. 🥴

In this episode, we’re breaking down fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—what they actually are, why they happen, what they can look like in everyday life. Most importantly, we’re talking about why these responses don’t mean there’s something wrong with you. Your body is communicating—not malfunctioning.

Here's the Breathwork I mentioned, Joe Dispenza's meditations, along with the book Complex PTSD if you really want to go deeper into your childhood healing. ❤️

You are not alone, I love you, always!

Hey! It's another week of answering your questions! 

You asked some good ones: 

- How do you let go of hope that your narcissistic parents will change? 

- How do I reach out to my estranged daughter? 

- How are my kids after seeing toxic behavior from my extended family? 

- When / How do you recognize in your body its time to set boundaries? 

- How to deal with angry daughter that keeps grandkids away? 

- Is it normal for your parents to lose interest as you age? 

- Why can't parents show they care about how their child feels? 

- What was the straw that broke your back to no longer tolerate the intolerable? 

- How to start dating after 9 years of a break? 

- What psychadelics have you tried? 

Thank you for taking the poll in my stories, I LOVE answering your questions. More on instagram @christie.heals and you can take my course on manipulation here! 

Thanks everyone for your questions, I'll answer more in the next episode! 

If you want help with boundaries, resonding to DARVO, and dealing with difficult people, you're going to love the quick course I made you. 

It's not your job to change people. Focus all that energy on what you can control, and watch your life completeky transform! 

You're doing great, You're very loved. You are NEVER alone. 

Love, Christie

If you feel stuck like you were meant for more, I was too. I was miserable, I felt like I was floundering. Here's exactly how I got unstuck.

1. Follow your whimsy 

2. Stop hanging out with losers 

3. Envision your future (free Joe Dispenza meditation)

4. Meet your Shadow self (I used this journal)

 Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? YESSSSSSSS. Do it for the plot, baby. 

You're doing great!!! I love you, Check out the course! 

❤️ BYE! 

@christie.heals

Ever apologized for something you didn't do? You got DARVO'd by an unhealed goof ball. 

DARVO stands for Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. 

aka: some people are so scared of taking accuntability they'd rather make you feel like the problem than say sorry. That's some victim mentality ish. 

⭐ You're not crazy. Here's a cheat sheet. ⭐

👉 And here's the Manipulation course 

I love you, I don't want you to feel unlvable my immature adults who can't self-regulate. You're safe with me always. I believe you, and I believe IN you! 

Love you, bye

Hey! Sibling betrayal is messy stuff. I've been there, and I want you to know you're not crazy. 

Here's some stuff I mentioned... 

• Make sure I have your email!

I LOVE YOU - You will be ok. I promise!! 

WHatever happened to you, I BELIEVE you. You didn't deserve it. 

You are not crazy, you are not the problem. You are the one who *noticed and named* the problem. That makes you a cycle breaker. and you should be dang proud.

Hey! Breaking cycles while raising the next generation ain't for the faint of heart! 

Here's the two books I mentioned: 

1. How to talk so kids will Listen 
2. Parenting from the inside out 

Love you, Bye! 

Oh, HEYY! Here's some things I talked about. 

• Wig video where toxic mom stomps on my foot 
• Video on my abusive marriage

Trauma bonds are very common for people who experienced an abusive childhood. It's a strong emotional attachment to someone who abuses you sometimes, followed by some good times. It's like you can't quit the stuff. It's addictive. You're not weak if this has happened to you, it's a testimant to your empathy.
