Tian Dayton on Healing Adult Children of Alcoholics

We get triggered, we go from zero to and to zero without any speed bumps in between...and we don't recognize ourselves in four or five and six. Because we, we said, and this is where I think the codependency develops.
Ever wondered how growing up in an alcoholic family affects you as an adult? In this episode of the 'Adult Child' podcast, Andrea sits down with Tian Dayton, a leading expert on Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA). They dive into the origins of the ACOA movement, discussing everything from codependency to complex PTSD and toxic shame. Tian's insights are drawn from her extensive work and her impactful books like 'The ACOA Trauma Syndrome'.
She explains how childhood pain manifests in adult relationships and offers practical advice on recognizing and addressing these issues. Andrea and Tian share personal stories, making the conversation relatable and heartfelt.
