  • Seeking therapy and support groups can aid in healing.
  • Creating a healthy family environment is crucial for future generations.
  • It's okay to ask for help when dealing with childhood trauma.
It's still inexcusable, man, to allow a child to grow up in this dysfunction because of X, Y, Z.
Ever wondered how childhood experiences shape our adult lives? In this episode, Michael dives deep into the impact of growing up in dysfunctional environments. He explores five key lessons learned from chaotic family settings and how these unspoken rules and messages can continue to affect us well into adulthood. Michael shares his own experiences of growing up in a tumultuous household, adding a personal touch to the discussion.
He highlights how children often internalise harmful beliefs, such as forgiving bad behaviour or expecting relationships to be painful. These ingrained messages can lead to negative patterns in adult relationships and self-esteem issues. Michael also discusses the importance of unlearning these harmful beliefs and replacing them with healthier ones. He provides practical advice on how to break the cycle of dysfunction, including seeking therapy, joining support groups, and practising self-reflection.
By addressing these issues head-on, Michael aims to help listeners create a healthier, more functional family environment for themselves and future generations. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the long-term effects of childhood trauma and how to heal from it.
