Healing Childhood Wounds: The ACA Journey with Sammy and Jude

The whole program is there to address what's unresolved in your childhood so that you can let go of the child, part of you being in control in different situations.
Childhood experiences can leave deep scars, but Sammy and Jude are here to show that healing is possible. In this episode of 'Past Imperfect', Sammy interviews Jude about her personal journey through the 12-step program for Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families (ACA). Originally designed for Alateens who outgrew the program but still felt the effects of their chaotic childhoods, ACA offers a lifeline to anyone struggling with the aftermath of neglect, addiction, or strict upbringing.
Jude opens up about her initial skepticism, especially around the 'God bit' and the notion that this is the only way to heal. She shares how she found a version of the program that resonates with her, making it a pivotal part of her recovery. They dive into concepts like the inner child and reparenting work, discussing how these tools help in addressing unresolved childhood issues.
Sammy and Jude also tackle common fears and misconceptions about 12-step programs, emphasizing the importance of community and shared experiences in the healing process. If you're curious about how childhood trauma can be transformed into a source of strength, this episode offers both hope and practical insights.
