    E 330: Tammy's Take #28: Why You Keep Repeating The Same Patterns

    Why do we keep doing things we know aren't good for us? Why do we keep overreacting, people pleasing, overthinking, numbing out, procrastinating, or sabotaging our own success—even when we know better? In this Tammy's Takes episode, Tammy builds on her recent conversation with Kathryn Eipl, founder of EIPL Healing and creator of the Neuro Resonance Method, to explore one of the biggest misconceptions about healing. The problem often isn't a lack of knowledge. The problem is a nervous system that still feels unsafe. Tammy explains why awareness alone isn't always enough to create change and how many of the behaviors we call self-sabotage are actually protection strategies that were learned years ago. She also dives into the mind-body connection, why unresolved stress can continue driving reactions long after the original experience is over, and how biofrequency scanning can help uncover hidden patterns that may be contributing to emotional, mental, and physical stress. If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns despite your best intentions, this episode will give you a completely different way of looking at your healing journey. In This Episode: • Why self-sabotage is often a survival response • The difference between awareness and transformation • Why you can't think your way out of a body that feels unsafe • How emotional patterns become automatic reactions • Questions to ask when you feel triggered • The connection between nervous system regulation and lasting change • How biofrequency scans can provide additional insight into hidden stress patterns Referenced Episode: Kathryn Eipl – You Are Not Your Past: Rewiring Self-Sabotage Through Nervous System Healing Ready to learn what your body may be trying to tell you? Book your complimentary biofrequency scan consultation and discover the hidden patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Because your body has been communicating with you all along. The question is: are you listening? Captivate SummaryIn this episode of Tammy's Takes, Tammy Vincent explores why knowing better doesn't always lead to doing better. Drawing from her conversation with Kathryn Eipl, she explains how self-sabotage, emotional triggers, and unhealthy coping patterns are often rooted in nervous system protection rather than lack of willpower. Tammy shares practical insights into the mind-body connection and discusses how biofrequency scanning can help identify hidden stress patterns that may be influencing behavior and wellbeing.

    E 328: Tammy's Take #27: How To Have The Hard Conversations

    In this episode of Tammy's Takes, Tammy explores one of the most important lessons from her recent conversation with Kaylin Peete of the Family Online Safety Institute: the real issue isn't technology—it's connection. As parents, caregivers, educators, and mentors, many of us worry about social media, screen time, AI, and online safety. But beneath those concerns lies a deeper question: Do our children feel safe enough to talk to us? Tammy shares five practical ways to create the kind of emotional safety that encourages honest conversations, builds trust, and strengthens relationships—both online and offline. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why curiosity works better than correction • How your nervous system impacts your child's willingness to open up • The power of asking better questions • Why presence matters more than perfection • How to create an environment where children feel safe telling the truth • The connection between emotional safety and healthy communication • Why connection is the greatest protection in today's digital world Whether you're raising young children, parenting teenagers, working with students, or healing your own childhood wounds, this episode offers practical tools you can begin using immediately. Because at the end of the day, children don't need perfect parents. They need safe relationships. And often the most powerful thing we can say is: "I'm here. Tell me more." If this episode resonates with you and you're finding yourself stuck in the same communication patterns, emotional reactions, or relationship struggles, I invite you to schedule a complimentary Clarity and Calm Call.

    E 327: Are We Losing Our Kids to Their Screens? Guest Kaylin Peete

    How do we keep kids safe online without creating fear, shame, or disconnection? In this important conversation, Tammy sits down with Kaylin Peete, Program Specialist at the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI) and former educator, to discuss the growing challenges families face in today's digital world. From social media and online gaming to AI chatbots and screen time, technology is shaping how children learn, connect, and develop their sense of identity. But while many parents worry about what their children are doing online, Kaylin explains that the real solution isn't stricter rules—it's stronger relationships. Together, Tammy and Kaylin explore the importance of open communication, trust, empathy, and human connection in a world where young people are increasingly turning to technology for support, guidance, and even companionship. They discuss: • Why conversations matter more than control • The surprising ways teens are using AI chatbots • The risks of online grooming, bullying, and exploitation • How parents can create safe spaces for difficult conversations • Why curiosity works better than interrogation • The role of parental controls and digital boundaries • How technology impacts self-worth, identity, and mental health • Why many children feel safer talking to a chatbot than a person • The importance of breaking generational cycles of disconnection • Practical ways families can strengthen relationships both online and offline This episode is a powerful reminder that while technology continues to evolve, children still need the same things they've always needed: connection, trust, understanding, and safe adults who are willing to listen.

    E 326: Tammy's Take #26: Why You're Still Triggered, and What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You

    In this episode of Tammy's Takes, Tammy explores one of the most powerful lessons from her recent conversation with women's health expert Kirsten Karchmer: What if your symptoms aren't the problem? What if they're the message? Too often we treat anxiety, overwhelm, emotional reactions, self-doubt, and chronic stress as things to eliminate. But what if your body is actually trying to communicate something important? Drawing from her work in trauma-informed coaching, nervous system regulation, and emotional healing, Tammy introduces her 4-Step BODY Method—a simple framework for understanding triggers, identifying old patterns, and responding from a place of awareness rather than survival. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why your body often knows before your mind does • How childhood experiences continue to shape adult reactions • Why most triggers are connected to the past, not the present • How to recognize when your nervous system is reacting to an old wound • The difference between survival responses and healthy responses • How to stop fighting symptoms and start understanding them • A practical 4-step process you can use the next time you're triggered The BODY Method: B – Become Aware O – Observe the Pattern D – Distinguish Past from Present Y – Yield a Different Response If you've ever found yourself wondering why you keep reacting the same way, why certain situations hit harder than they should, or why healing feels difficult despite all your efforts, this episode is for you. Because your triggers are not proof that you're broken. They're clues. They're invitations. And when you learn to listen to what your body has been trying to tell you, everything begins to change. If you'd like support identifying the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, schedule a complimentary Clarity and Calm Call: https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-call Together we'll explore what's happening beneath the surface and create practical steps toward greater self-trust, emotional regulation, and healing.

About

“Child of Dysfunction” is your guide into the world of resilience and healing. Hosted by Tammy Vincent, the adult child of two alcoholic parents, this podcast delves deep into the experiences of growing up in a chaotic and dysfunctional environment, facing childhood neglect, abuse, and trauma while overcoming adversity. With personal insights and expert interviews, we explore the challenges and triumphs of adults who grew up in these toxic environments, and healed.
