Have you ever found yourself reacting like a child in an adult situation? That’s your Adaptive Child taking over — the survival part that formed in unsafe environments.
In my latest Kodennected Voices episode, I explore:
The neuroscience of why this happens (your body scans for safety 6 times a second)
How the Adaptive Child can hijack relationships and parenting
The role of generational trauma in keeping cycles alive
Practical tools to reparent yourself and return to your Wise Adult
This isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence, repair, and breaking old patterns.
