In this week's episode 331 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m talking about the invisible, unspoken rules you absorbed growing up — the ones you never agreed to, yet have been shaping your entire emotional life. I break down how these hidden rules get installed in childhood, how they operate in adulthood, and how recovery gives you the clarity and safety to finally rewrite them.

Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

• The unspoken “family rules” you learned through tone, punishment, silence, chaos, and inconsistency
• How perfectionism, control, all-or-nothing thinking, and the inner critic develop in dysfunctional homes
• The ways these old rules still dictate your choices, boundaries, and emotional reactions
• What happens when you finally recognize that these rules were never yours to begin with
• How recovery helps you create new internal rules rooted in truth, safety, and self-compassion
  
  
  

You don’t have to keep living by rules that were created in a dysfunctional system.
 You get to unlearn perfectionism, control, fear, and judgment.
And you get to replace them with patterns that support freedom, safety, and emotional wholeness.

You don’t have to stay stuck in the old survival strategies. The moment you start seeing the rules clearly, you can choose new ones — rooted in truth, boundaries, and compassion for yourself. Are you ready to rewrite the rules you grew up with?

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
