212: It Wasn't That Bad: Recognizing the Long-Term Effects of Family Dysfunction

Is your adult anxiety rooted in your childhood environment?

Many people minimize their childhood experiences, thinking, "It wasn't that bad." In this episode, therapist Jenn Shields joins me to explain how living in chaotic or emotionally inconsistent homes forces children to develop survival patterns that turn into adult challenges like people-pleasing and perfectionism.

We break down nervous system dysregulation, discussing how early experiences of chaos train your body to constantly scan for danger, making it difficult to relax, trust, and rest in adulthood. Jenn offers actionable insights into how to cultivate internal resources (The Nurturer, Protector, and Wisdom) to support yourself and unwire the patterns that no longer serve you.
