  E 372: Tammys Takes #46: When Did You Stop Trusting Your Own Voice? 17.09.2026 11мин

  Have you ever had something you desperately wanted to say... but stopped yourself?Maybe someone hurt your feelings and you immediately thought:“I'm probably overreacting.”Maybe you wanted to say no, but heard yourself say yes.Maybe you knew something didn't feel right, but talked yourself out of it.Or maybe you've spent so much of your life worrying about what everyone else thinks, feels, wants, and needs that you're no longer sure what you want.For many adult children of dysfunctional families, nobody has to silence us anymore.We learned how to do it ourselves.In this week's Tammy's Takes, I'm building on one powerful statement Denis Dubois made at the end of our conversation:“Never let someone silence your voice.”But what happens when the person silencing your voice... is you?Growing up in dysfunction can teach us to read the room, avoid conflict, keep other people happy, minimize our needs, question our feelings, and change who we are depending on who's around.Eventually, we can become so accustomed to overriding ourselves that we lose touch with one of the most important relationships we'll ever have:The relationship with ourselves.In this episode, we're talking about why people pleasing and self-silencing can become survival patterns, why trusting yourself can feel so difficult after childhood dysfunction, and how to begin reconnecting with your authentic voice.I'll also walk you through a simple practice I call noticing your “first answer.”Before you explain.Before you justify.Before you worry about disappointing someone.Before you tell yourself you're being too sensitive.What did you originally think, feel, need, or want?Your first reaction isn't always the answer you should act on. But instead of automatically dismissing it, you can become curious about it.Because rebuilding self-trust doesn't happen overnight.It happens in tiny moments when you begin to notice yourself, listen to yourself, validate yourself, and eventually act in alignment with yourself.And here's the question I want you to take with you:Are you adjusting your behavior depending on who's in the room... or are you abandoning yourself?Maybe someone taught you long ago that your feelings were too much.Maybe speaking up caused conflict.Maybe your emotions were dismissed.Maybe you learned that keeping everyone else happy was safer than expressing what you really thought.That may explain why you learned to silence yourself.But it doesn't have to decide how you live now.Your voice is still there.And you deserve to hear it again.💜 READY TO START FINDING YOUR VOICE AGAIN?If you're thinking, “Tammy, I don't even know what my authentic voice sounds like anymore,” I'd love to talk with you.Maybe you're constantly people pleasing, second-guessing yourself, struggling with boundaries, or realizing you don't even know what you want because you've spent so much of your life taking care of everyone else.Book a FREE Clarity & Calm Call with me.We'll talk about what's showing up in your life, where these patterns may have started, and what it could look like to begin rebuilding your self-trust, boundaries, confidence, and authentic voice.💜 BOOK YOUR FREE CLARITY & CALM CALL WITH TAMMYHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

  E 371: You Are More Than Your Diagnosis: BPD, Childhood Trauma & Reclaiming Your Voice with Dene Dubois 16.09.2026 41мин

  What happens when a diagnosis finally gives you an explanation for why you've struggled—but then starts becoming another label you carry?In this jpowerful episode, I sit down with Dene Dubois, for an incredibly open conversation about borderline personality disorder, childhood trauma, abandonment, trust, shame, relationships, and what it means to take your personal power back.Dene shares his experience growing up in a deeply dysfunctional home with a mother struggling with bipolar disorder and a father dealing with alcoholism and compulsive gambling. He also opens up about receiving a BPD diagnosis at age 50 and the complicated relationship he's had with that label.We talk about something I see so often in my own work with adult children: the fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, intense emotional reactions, people pleasing, and that immediate assumption of “What did I do wrong?” when someone pulls away. Denis gives a powerful real-life example of how something as simple as an unanswered message can activate those old fears.But this conversation goes far beyond a diagnosis.We explore the difference between understanding a label and becoming the label, why shame doesn't create healing, and how the things we once viewed as weaknesses can sometimes become part of our purpose.Dene has taken his lived experience and created BPD Raw as a place where people can speak honestly about mental health without hiding behind clinical language or stigma. His message at the end of our conversation says it beautifully:Never let someone silence your voice.If you've ever felt defined by a diagnosis, your childhood, your mistakes, or someone else's opinion of you, this conversation is for you.🔗 CONNECT WITH DENE DUBOISBPD Raw Website:BPD RawFacebook:Follow BPD Raw on FacebookInstagram:Follow Dene on InstagramYouTube:BPD Raw on YouTubeDene also discusses his books The Places I Didn't Belong and Maybe I Did Belong, Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

  E 370: Tammy's Takes #45: What If They Misunderstand You? 12.09.2026 10мин

  Have you ever set a boundary... and then immediately felt the need to explain it?And then explain your explanation?Maybe you soften what you said, send another text, replay the conversation for hours, or start wondering whether you did something wrong.For many adult children of dysfunctional families, being misunderstood doesn’t just feel uncomfortable. It can feel unsafe.In this week’s Tammy’s Takes, I build on one powerful idea from my conversation with Nima Rahmany:“Learn how to expand your capacity to be misunderstood.”That stopped me.Because so many of us grew up learning to monitor everyone else’s moods, reactions, and opinions. We became experts at reading the room, keeping the peace, people pleasing, explaining ourselves, and making sure everyone else was okay.Eventually, another person’s perception of us can become connected to our own sense of safety.So when someone is disappointed in us, disagrees with us, or thinks we're selfish, our immediate response can be:“I need to fix this.”But do you?In this episode, we explore the difference between healthy communication and overexplaining from fear.I talk about why someone being disappointed in your boundary doesn’t automatically mean your boundary is wrong, why repairing a relationship is very different from abandoning yourself to save it, and how self-trust begins to grow when you stop needing everyone else to agree with your choices.I’ll also give you one question to start asking yourself when you notice that urge to explain:“Am I explaining because this information is actually necessary... or because I’m afraid of what they’ll think about me if I don’t?”Healing isn't about becoming someone who doesn't care what anyone thinks.It's about becoming grounded enough in who you are that someone else's opinion doesn't determine how you feel about yourself.Because maybe freedom isn't getting everyone to understand you.Maybe freedom is understanding yourself enough that you no longer need everyone else to.💜 DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?If you recognize yourself in the people pleasing, overexplaining, fear of disappointing others, difficulty setting boundaries, or constantly worrying about what other people think of you, I'd love to talk with you.Book a FREE Clarity & Calm Call with me.We'll talk about what's showing up in your life, the patterns you're beginning to recognize, and how experiences from your childhood may still be influencing your relationships, boundaries, confidence, and self-trust today.There's no pressure. It's simply a chance for us to talk about where you are, where you're feeling stuck, and what moving from survival mode into self-trust and authenticity could look like for you.💜 BOOK YOUR FREE CLARITY & CALM CALL WITH TAMMYHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

  E 369: Becoming Trigger Proof/ Guest Nima Rahmany 11.09.2026 40мин

  Why do some relationships feel safe while others leave you anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly questioning yourself? The answer may have less to do with your partner—and far more to do with the attachment patterns your nervous system learned in childhood.In this episode of the Adult Child of Dysfunction Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Nima Rahmany, creator of the Becoming Trigger Proof® methodology, to explore how unresolved attachment wounds continue to influence our adult relationships, emotional reactions, boundaries, and sense of self. Through his own personal story and years of clinical experience, Dr. Nima explains why healing isn't about becoming "triggerless." It's about learning how to regulate your nervous system, repair relationships, and respond instead of react.Together, we discuss why conflict itself isn't the problem—it's the lack of repair afterward that slowly erodes trust. We also explore anxious and avoidant attachment, emotional attunement, people pleasing, codependency, childhood survival patterns, and how the nervous system quietly shapes the way we show up in every relationship.One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation is the reminder that you can't think yourself to safety—your body has to feel safe first. That shift alone has the power to change the way you approach healing, parenting, communication, and connection.🎁 Free Gift from Dr. NimaIf you're curious about your own attachment style, Dr. Nima is offering his Attachment Style Assessment completely free.👉 Take the free assessment here:https://go.drnima.com/it11rYou can also learn more about Dr. Nima and his Becoming Trigger Proof® methodology at:🌐 https://becometriggerproof.com/If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same relationship patterns or why certain situations trigger such intense emotional reactions, this episode will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface—and remind you that healing is possible.Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

  E 368: Tammy's Takes #44: Did Childhood Trauma Become Your Personality? 07.09.2026 7мин

  Have you ever stopped to wonder if the person you think you are... is actually the person you had to become to survive?In this week's Tammy's Takes, I'm reflecting on one of the most thought-provoking ideas from my conversation with author Megan DeMatteo, and taking it one step further. As adult children, many of us spend years believing that our people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, hypervigilance, or difficulty trusting others is simply part of our personality. But what if those behaviors aren't your identity at all? What if they're survival strategies your nervous system developed to keep you safe?In this episode, I invite you to look beneath those patterns and ask a powerful question that I often use with my coaching clients:"Who would I be if I no longer believed I had to survive?"Together, we'll explore how childhood experiences shape the beliefs we carry into adulthood, why those beliefs often feel like who we are, and how healing begins when we separate our authentic self from the adaptations that once protected us. I'll also guide you through a simple reflective exercise that can help you reconnect with the person underneath the fear, the people-pleasing, the perfectionism, and the constant need to prove your worth.If you've ever felt like you've lost yourself while trying to keep everyone else happy, this episode is for you. My hope is that you'll walk away with more compassion for yourself, a deeper understanding of your survival patterns, and the reminder that you are not broken—you adapted.If you're ready to go deeper, I'd love to help you continue your healing journey.

  E 367: Inner Child Healing with Megan DeMatteo 06.09.2026 34мин

  Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to know who you really are after growing up in a dysfunctional family? Why setting boundaries feels uncomfortable, emotions feel overwhelming, or you find yourself living from survival instead of authenticity?In this episode of the Adult Child of Dysfunction Podcast, I sit down with writer and author Megan DeMatteo to explore the healing power of journaling, inner child work, and learning to reconnect with the parts of ourselves that had to adapt just to survive. Growing up with an alcoholic father, Megan shares how writing became much more than creative expression—it became the bridge that helped her understand her childhood, uncover the different "inner children" she had developed for protection, and begin reclaiming the person she truly is.Together, we talk about why so many adult children struggle to trust themselves, how survival adaptations often become mistaken for personality, and why healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about remembering who you were before trauma taught you who you had to be. We also discuss emotional sobriety, dissociation, perfectionism, identity, and why journaling can become one of the most powerful healing tools available.If you've ever wondered why you feel like you're constantly performing, staying strong, or taking care of everyone else while losing yourself in the process, I think this conversation will deeply resonate with you. More importantly, I hope it reminds you that healing isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have been waiting to be seen all along.Connect with Megan DeMatteo📖 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/megdematteo✍️ Substack:https://substack.com/@megdematteoHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

  E 366: Tammys Takes #43: Healing Isn't A Race 02.09.2026 14мин

  Have you ever listened to a podcast, read a book, or had a conversation that unexpectedly left you feeling anxious, emotional, or overwhelmed? Maybe your first thought was, "Why am I still getting triggered?" or "Shouldn't I be further along by now?"If so, this week's Tammy's Takes is for you.Inspired by my conversation with Rachel, I wanted to remind you of something we often forget: healing isn't a competition, and your nervous system sets the pace. Every person's journey is different, and comparing your healing to someone else's only creates more pressure, shame, and self-judgment.In this episode, I share one of my favorite tools that I teach coaching clients: Notice. Name. Need. Instead of criticizing yourself for having a strong emotional reaction, you'll learn how to become curious about what your body is trying to communicate. We'll explore why healing isn't just an intellectual process, why your nervous system responds before your mind can explain what's happening, and how listening to yourself instead of pushing yourself is one of the greatest acts of self-trust.Most adult children grew up learning to ignore their own needs while focusing on everyone else's. Healing asks us to reverse that pattern—not by forcing ourselves to process everything at once, but by learning to pause, notice what's happening inside of us, and respond with compassion instead of criticism.If you've ever felt like you're falling behind in your healing journey, I hope this episode reminds you that you are not behind. You're exactly where you need to be. Healing doesn't happen by rushing through your pain. It happens one safe moment, one small act of self-awareness, and one compassionate choice at a time.If you're ready to continue your healing journey, I'd love to invite you to explore my signature course, Trials to Triumph: An Adult Child's Beginning Roadmap to Your Healing Journey.

  E 365: You Can Heal After Trauma: PTSD, Self-Compassion & Finding Yourself Again with Rachel Buckmaster 01.09.2026 32мин

  What if healing from trauma isn't about becoming the person you were before it happened, but learning to understand and have compassion for the person you are today?In this episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, I sit down with Rachel Buckmaster for an honest conversation about living with PTSD and what healing has actually looked like for her.Rachel was diagnosed with PTSD at 18 and has spent years working through her experiences with therapy, self-awareness, and more recently EMDR.But this conversation isn't about pretending that healing makes everything disappear.We talk about what happens when trauma shows up as perfectionism, overworking, shame, isolation, difficulty slowing down, and that constant feeling that you have something to prove.Rachel also shares one of the biggest lessons she's learned: sometimes being gentler with yourself actually helps you move forward more than constantly pushing yourself to "do better."In this episode, we talk about:• What PTSD can look like beyond the stereotypical flashback• Why trauma can stay with us long after the event is over• Rachel's experience with EMDR• How shame can fuel perfectionism and overworking• Why high-functioning doesn't always mean someone is okay• Learning to identify and name your emotions• The importance of self-compassion in trauma recovery• Why talking about what happened can help break isolation• Learning to become curious instead of judgmental about your reactions• Why healing doesn't have to happen overnightMost importantly, this episode is a reminder that there IS hope.Your childhood and your trauma may have shaped parts of who you became, but they do not have to define the rest of your life.You can understand yourself differently.You can learn new ways of responding.You can reconnect with yourself.And you can build a life beyond survival.CONNECT WITH RACHELWww.rachelbuckmasterauthor.comWebsite: https://www.slaybay.co.ukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@slaybaeteamInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/slaybaeclub/Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

  E 364: Tammys Takes #42: Trauma Isn't the Event—It's the Aftermathaudio 28.08.2026 10мин

  Have you ever caught yourself wondering, "Was my childhood really that bad?" Maybe you've compared your experiences to others and convinced yourself that because someone else had it worse, your struggles today shouldn't matter.But what if that's the wrong question?In this week's Tammy's Takes, I'm reflecting on one of the most powerful moments from my conversation with trauma specialist Stacey Uhrig, who said, "Trauma isn't the event... it's the aftermath. It's the impact of what happened." That simple statement led me to ask a different question—one I ask nearly every coaching client I work with: Is it still affecting the way you live today?In this episode, I'll walk you through a simple but powerful coaching exercise to help you uncover the beliefs that may have formed during childhood and quietly shaped the way you see yourself today. Together, we'll explore how experiences from years ago can continue to influence your relationships, boundaries, confidence, people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, and even your nervous system.Healing isn't about deciding whether your story was "bad enough." It's about understanding the meaning your younger self attached to those experiences and recognizing that the survival patterns that once protected you don't have to define your future.If you've ever struggled with feeling like you're not enough, believing you have to earn love, or constantly putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own, this episode will help you connect the dots with compassion instead of judgment. Because when you understand why your behavior makes sense, you can finally begin to change it.I actually think this is the "voice" we want for Tammy's Takes going forward. The guest episodes are about the conversation. The Tammy's Takes summaries should feel like you're inviting someone into a short coaching session. They should leave readers thinking, "She understands me. I need to listen to this." That's the feeling that turns casual listeners into loyal subscribers—and eventually into coaching clients.yes, that is exactly what i am going for. Can you put a call to action to grab my course at www.tammyvincent.com/course and use THRIVE25 for 90% offI love this direction. I made the ending feel less "salesy" and more like a natural continuation of the conversation. Someone who just had an "aha" moment should feel invited—not pitched.Captivate Episode SummaryHave you ever found yourself wondering, "Was my childhood really that bad?"

  E 362: Tammys Takes #41 How Childhood Trauma Keeps Your Nervous System Stuck in Survival Mode 23.08.2026 13мин

  Why do so many adult children of dysfunctional families struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, overthinking, and feeling like they can never truly relax?In this episode of Tammy's Takes, trauma coach Tammy Vincent explores one of the most powerful lessons from her conversation with Holly Haag: healing begins the day you become your own safe person.Growing up in dysfunction teaches us to survive by reading the room, keeping everyone else happy, and ignoring our own needs. Those survival strategies may have protected us as children, but they often leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected as adults.Tammy explains why your nervous system continues to react long after childhood is over, shares a simple exercise you can begin using today, and offers practical steps to start rebuilding self-trust from the inside out.If you've ever wondered why you struggle with boundaries, anxiety, or constantly feel responsible for everyone else's emotions, this episode will help you understand why—and show you where healing begins.Ready to Begin Your Healing Journey?Check out Tammy's self-paced course:Trials to Triumph: An Adult Child's Beginning Roadmap to Your Healing JourneyFor a limited time, get the course for just $25!👉 https://tammy-vincent.mykajabi.com/offers/DSbcgrZZ/checkoutUse coupon code:THRIVE25 for 90% offWant to work with Tammy personally?Book your complimentary Clarity & Calm Call:https://www.tammyvincent.com

  What if your anxiety, exhaustion, muscle tension, digestive issues, or chronic stress weren't random at all?What if your body has been trying to communicate with you for years—and you simply haven't been taught how to listen?In this Tammy's Take, Tammy Vincent builds on her conversation with trauma integration specialist Hannah Dalby and explores one of the most overlooked parts of healing: the messages your body is constantly sending you.You'll discover why symptoms are often signals, how your nervous system stores unresolved stress, and why curiosity—not self-judgment—is the first step toward healing.Tammy also shares how she uses AO Biofrequency Voice Scans as a tool to help clients identify patterns of stress in the body and begin meaningful conversations about where support may be needed. While the scan is not a medical diagnostic tool, it can provide another lens for exploring how chronic stress may be showing up in the body.In this episode you'll learn:Why your body is always communicating with youThe difference between symptoms and signalsHow chronic stress affects the nervous systemWhy emotional patterns often show up physicallyThree powerful questions to ask when your body is trying to get your attentionHow curiosity creates healing while judgment keeps us stuckHow Tammy incorporates AO Biofrequency Voice Scans into her coaching processIf you've ever wondered why your body keeps reacting the way it does, this episode will help you begin listening with compassion instead of frustration.Grab A complimentary A/O Biofrequency Scan Here: https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demoHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

  What if the anxiety, chronic stress, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, and even physical symptoms you've been carrying aren't personality traits at all—but survival patterns your nervous system learned years ago?In this powerful episode, Tammy sits down with Hannah Dalby, founder of The Jungle, trauma integration specialist, former professional athlete, and host of the Into the Jungle Podcast. Together, they explore why healing isn't just about changing your thoughts—it's about reconnecting with your body.Hannah shares her own journey through addiction, eating disorders, burnout, and deep trauma work, explaining how true healing came when she stopped living only in her mind and finally learned to listen to what her body had been trying to tell her all along.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why trauma is stored in the body—not just the mindThe connection between chronic stress and physical illnessHow people-pleasing and perfectionism become survival strategiesWhy awareness alone doesn't create transformationThe importance of nervous system regulation before lasting changeHow identity shifts happen during healingWhy learning to receive love can be one of the hardest parts of recoveryThe surprising connection between unresolved emotions and chronic inflammationIf you've ever felt like you've "done all the mindset work" but still find yourself stuck in the same emotional patterns, this conversation may explain why.Connect with Hannah Dalby🌿 The Junglehttps://thejungle.net.au📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/recoveryjungle/🌱 IntegratedAFhttps://integratedaf.com📸 Hannah Dalbyhttps://www.instagram.com/hannah.dalby/Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

  Have you ever wondered why something seemingly small can create such a big emotional reaction?In this Tammy's Take, Tammy builds on her conversation with author David Deane Haskell and explains why our strongest emotional reactions often have very little to do with what's happening today—and everything to do with what happened years ago.You'll learn why your nervous system isn't overreacting... it's remembering.Tammy introduces the powerful concept of becoming the detective instead of the judge, showing you how to stop asking, "What's wrong with me?" and start asking the questions that actually lead to healing.In this episode you'll discover:Why today's triggers are often connected to yesterday's woundsThe difference between an event and the meaning you attach to itHow childhood experiences shape adult emotional reactionsWhy your nervous system reacts before your logical brainThree simple questions to ask when you're emotionally triggeredHow curiosity can replace shame and self-judgmentWhy your triggers may actually be pointing you toward your next breakthroughIf you've ever felt like you're "too sensitive" or wondered why your reactions feel bigger than the situation, this episode will help you see yourself through a completely different lens.Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

  E 356: Tammy's Takes #38: Healing Doesn't Always Start with Talking 08.08.2026 3мин

  What if healing doesn't begin with talking... but with expressing?In this episode of Tammy's Takes, I build on my conversation with poet and Positive Psychology Coach Michael Teferi and explore one of the most overlooked parts of healing: giving your pain somewhere to go. Whether it's writing, journaling, painting, music, prayer, or simply speaking your truth, expression is often the first step toward releasing what your nervous system has been holding onto.As adult children of dysfunction, many of us learned to stay quiet, suppress our emotions, and survive. But those emotions don't simply disappear—they get stored in our bodies, our relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves. Today, we're talking about why expression is so powerful and one simple exercise you can begin today.In This Episode, You'll Learn:• Why suppressing emotions keeps us stuck• How creative expression helps release stored pain• The connection between the nervous system and emotional healing• Why writing can be one of the most healing things you'll ever do• One simple exercise to begin expressing what's been buried• Why your story deserves to be heard—even if only by youHealing doesn't require you to become someone new.Sometimes it simply requires you to finally give your old pain a voice.Ready to Take the Next Step?If today's episode resonated with you and you're wondering what patterns may still be keeping you stuck, I'd love to help.💙 Book a Complimentary Confidence & Clarity Call:https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-call🎙 Experience a Complimentary AO Voice Scan Demo:https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demo✨ Explore all of my coaching programs, free resources, podcast episodes, and ways we can work together:https://linktr.ee/tvincentBecause healing isn't about fixing who you are...It's about remembering who you were before survival taught you otherwise.

  Have you ever wondered why your mind won't slow down?Why you replay conversations...Doom scroll...Jump from one task to another...Or constantly worry about what might happen next?What if your attention isn't broken at all?In this week's Tammy's Takes, Tammy Vincent builds on her conversation with Kira Shishkin, CEO of Informed Now, to explore a deeper question:What is your attention trying to protect you from?While Kira introduces the idea of an Attention Audit, Tammy expands on the concept by showing how our attention often follows old survival patterns created in childhood.If you grew up in a dysfunctional home, your nervous system may have learned to constantly scan for danger, criticism, rejection, or conflict.
