    E 352: Tammy's Takes #36: Your Triggers Are Trying To Tell You Something

    Have you ever found yourself thinking... "Why did I react like that?" Maybe someone didn't text you back. Maybe your boss gave you feedback. Maybe your partner used the wrong tone of voice. Logically, you know it shouldn't have affected you that much... Yet emotionally, it felt overwhelming. In this week's Tammy's Takes, we're building on my powerful conversation with David Dean Haskell, author of Wounded Angels and Inner Child Unleashed, who reminded us that our biggest emotional reactions often have very little to do with what's happening today. Today, I'm taking that idea one step further. Because your triggers aren't random. They're not proof that you're too sensitive. And they're certainly not evidence that you're broken. They're messages from a younger part of you that still remembers what it felt like to be rejected, criticized, abandoned, or unseen. In this episode you'll learn: ✔ Why emotional triggers often have nothing to do with the present moment ✔ The difference between today's event and yesterday's wound ✔ How childhood survival patterns shape adult reactions ✔ Why curiosity heals faster than self-judgment ✔ Three powerful questions to ask whenever you're triggered ✔ How to begin calming your nervous system instead of fighting it Healing isn't about never getting triggered again. Healing is learning to understand what your triggers have been trying to teach you all along. Ready to Go Deeper?If you're ready to stop reacting from survival mode and start responding from a place of calm, I'd love to help. 💜 Book a Complimentary Clarity & Calm Call https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-call Curious how unresolved stress may still be showing up in your body? 💜 Experience a Complimentary AO Biofeedback Scan Demo https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demo

    E351: Why Your Childhood Still Controls Your Reactions | David Deane Haskell

    Have you ever wondered why something seemingly small can trigger such a huge emotional reaction? Why does being left out, criticized, or rejected sometimes feel far bigger than the moment itself? The answer may not be in your present—it may be in your childhood. In this powerful episode, I sit down with David Deane Haskell, author of Wounded Angels and Inner Child Unleashed, to explore the life-changing power of inner child healing and why unresolved childhood trauma continues to influence our relationships, confidence, emotional reactions, and even addiction later in life. David shares his own remarkable journey through addiction recovery, codependency, spiritual awakening, and emotional healing while offering practical insight into reconnecting with the younger parts of ourselves that still carry pain. Together we discuss: ✔ What inner child healing actually is ✔ Why emotional triggers are rarely about the present moment ✔ How shame attacks differ from anxiety or panic attacks ✔ The connection between addiction, codependency, and childhood trauma ✔ Why affirmations feel uncomfortable when you first begin healing ✔ Learning to love yourself after years of self-hatred ✔ Gratitude, spirituality, and emotional recovery ✔ Healing relationships with parents—and yourself ✔ Why every healing journey begins with curiosity instead of judgment If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, low self-worth, emotional overwhelm, or wondering why you react so strongly to certain situations, this conversation will help you understand yourself with greater compassion—and remind you that healing is possible.

    E 350: Tammys Takes #35: Why You Still Feel Invisible (Even as an Adult)

    Have you ever walked into a room and immediately tried to make yourself smaller? Do you apologize when you've done nothing wrong? Stay quiet even when you have something valuable to say? Feel like everyone else's needs matter more than your own? If so, you may still be living from a survival pattern that began in childhood. In this episode of Tammy's Takes, we're building on my recent conversation with Chris Milson, host of the Mental Health Movement Podcast: Voice for the Voiceless. Chris shared how growing up in dysfunction left him feeling invisible—a feeling that followed him well into adulthood. Today, we're taking that conversation one step further. You'll learn why feeling invisible isn't simply a confidence issue—it's often a nervous system response created by childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or growing up in an unpredictable environment. We'll explore: ✔ Why emotional neglect leaves invisible wounds ✔ How childhood survival strategies become adult behaviors ✔ Why people-pleasing, over-apologizing, and staying silent are nervous system adaptations ✔ The difference between being invisible and being overlooked ✔ Why affirmations alone often don't create lasting change ✔ A simple Visibility Audit you can begin using today Healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reconnecting with the person you were before survival convinced you to disappear. If you've ever wondered why you struggle to speak up, trust yourself, or believe your needs matter, this episode is for you. Ready to Take the Next Step?If you'd like help identifying the survival patterns that may still be running your life, I'd love to meet with you. 💜 Complimentary Clarity & Calm Call https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-call Curious how chronic stress and unresolved trauma may be showing up in your body? 💜 Complimentary AO Biofeedback Scan Demo https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demo

    E349: From Childhood Trauma to Hope: Chris Milson on Suicide, Boundaries & Healing Your Mental Health

    What happens when you spend your entire childhood feeling invisible? For many adult children of dysfunction, the deepest wounds aren't always physical—they're emotional. Feeling unseen. Feeling unheard. Believing you don't matter. In this incredibly honest conversation, I sit down with Chris Milson, host of the Mental Health Movement Podcast: Voice for the Voiceless, to talk about what it's really like to grow up in a broken home, survive multiple suicide attempts, and slowly rebuild a life worth living. Chris opens up about: ✔️ Growing up feeling invisible after his parents divorced ✔️ Surviving suicide attempts at 14 and again at 27 ✔️ Living with PTSD and childhood trauma ✔️ Why boundaries changed his entire life ✔️ Learning to love himself after years of self-hatred ✔️ The surprising power of community and sharing your story ✔️ Why grief is so much more than losing someone ✔️ How one supportive teacher helped save his life ✔️ The importance of being gentle with yourself We also dive into nervous system healing, emotional regulation, childhood conditioning, and why so many adult children struggle to receive love—even when it's finally safe. If you've ever felt like your voice didn't matter… If you've ever struggled with shame… Or wondered if healing is actually possible… This conversation is proof that it is. Because healing doesn't begin when life becomes perfect. It begins the moment you decide your story isn't over.

    E 347: What If Your Biggest Setback Was Actually Your Greatest Gift? Guest Isabel Chiara

    Many of us spend years trying to change our habits without ever changing the conversations happening inside our own minds. In this powerful episode, Tammy welcomes back transformational guide Isabele Chiara to discuss her new book Nourish and why true nourishment has very little to do with food.

Whether you've struggled with childhood trauma, emotional eating, self-worth, or simply feeling stuck, this conversation offers a refreshing reminder that healing begins with the relationship you have with yourself. In this episode you'll learn:✔️ Why life may be happening for you, not to you ✔️ How childhood experiences shape your beliefs about yourself ✔️ Why your inner dialogue creates your outer reality ✔️ The connection between nervous system safety and lasting change ✔️ How to stop repeating old survival patterns ✔️ The role visualization and imagination play in healing ✔️ Why nourishment includes your body, mind, relationships, emotions and spirit ✔️ Practical ways to begin creating more joy every day If you've ever felt trapped by old patterns or wondered why change feels so difficult, this episode will give you a completely different way of looking at healing.

    E 346: Tammy's Take #33: 5 Signs Your Nervous System May Still Feel Unsafe

    What if you're not actually healed... What if you've simply become really good at surviving? In this episode of Tammy's Takes, trauma-informed coach Tammy Vincent explores one of the most powerful lessons from her recent conversation with bestselling author Janice Erlbaum. Although Janice's story of leaving home at just fifteen years old is extraordinary, the way her nervous system adapted isn't uncommon at all. Many adult children of dysfunctional families learned to become hypervigilant, people-pleasing, perfectionistic, emotionally disconnected, or constantly "on" simply because those behaviors once helped them survive. The problem? Our bodies often continue living by those same rules long after the danger has passed. In this episode, Tammy walks you through five powerful signs your nervous system may still feel unsafe and explains why healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about teaching your body that it's finally safe to rest. In this episode you'll discover:• Why surviving and healing are not the same thing • Five signs your nervous system may still be living in survival mode • Why you struggle to relax even when life is calm • The surprising reason you read everyone else's emotions but ignore your own • Why so many adult children constantly second-guess themselves • How hypervigilance affects sleep, anxiety, and overall health • Why true healing begins when your body finally believes it's safe If you've ever wondered why you're successful on the outside but still feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or stuck on the inside, this episode will help you understand what's really happening beneath the surface. Healing isn't about forgetting your past. It's about helping your nervous system realize that your past is finally over. 🎧 Inspired ByThis episode was inspired by Tammy's conversation with bestselling author Janice Erlbaum, whose remarkable story of surviving childhood abuse and homelessness reminds us that while our stories may be different, our nervous systems often learn the same survival strategies. Be sure to listen to Tammy's full interview with Janice on the Adult Child of Dysfunction Podcast. ❤️ READY TO STOP SURVIVING?If today's episode felt like I was describing your life, maybe that's your sign. You don't have to keep living in survival mode. As a trauma-informed coach, I help adult children of dysfunctional families understand their nervous system, rebuild self-trust, and create lasting emotional healing. I'd love to invite you to schedule a Complimentary Clarity & Calm Call where we'll explore your story, identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and create practical next steps toward healing. 👉 Book your complimentary call here: https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-call I would love to support you on your healing journey.

    E 345: From Teenage Homelessness to Healing: The Story Behind Girlbomb: Guest Janice Erlbaum

    What does it take to survive an abusive childhood—and what does it really take to heal? In this deeply moving episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy Vincent sits down with bestselling memoirist Janice Erlbaum, author of Girlbomb: A Halfway Homeless Memoir, to explore the lasting impact of childhood trauma, domestic violence, homelessness, and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. At just fifteen years old, Janice made the heartbreaking decision to leave home to escape an abusive environment. What followed were years spent moving between shelters, group homes, addiction, unhealthy relationships, and the constant struggle to survive. Yet through therapy, writing, and an unwavering commitment to healing, she transformed her life and eventually returned to the very shelter where she'd once sought refuge—this time as a volunteer helping other young people. Together, Tammy and Janice explore what healing really looks like after growing up in dysfunction and why telling your story can become one of the most powerful steps toward reclaiming your life. In this episode you'll discover:Why Janice chose to leave home at just fifteen years oldWhat "halfway homeless" really meansThe long-term effects of childhood trauma and domestic violenceHow therapy, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and other healing modalities supported her recoveryWhy writing your story can be both painful and profoundly healingWhat happened when she returned to volunteer at the shelter where she once livedHow her parents responded after reading GirlbombAdvice for adult children of dysfunctional families who want to tell their own stories If you've ever questioned your past, wondered whether healing is possible, or dreamed of sharing your own story, this conversation offers hope, honesty, and practical encouragement.
