Hi, this is Janet Lansbury. Welcome to Unruffled. If you are a regular

listener here, you may have heard the previous episodes that I did with Elizabeth

Corey. She's my special guest today and I think you'll

really appreciate her experiences, her insights, and her messages of hope.

She has survived a very dark childhood during which she suffered severe childhood trauma,

including incest and even being sex trafficked by her own parents as a young child, as well as other

intense physical and emotional abuse. She says, by the age of nine I I was fully indoctrinated. I had given up. I remember the moment when I realized there was no hope of being saved from this terrible life.

In that moment, I made a conscious choice to forget and she did forget until out of her desperation for help when she was struggling to function as a mom of twins, she finally began her healing process.

As heroes do, Elizabeth's dedicated her life to helping others who may be finding themselves

easily triggered, not functioning as well as they would wish to, as a parent or a person.

She says, as I advocate for trauma recovery, I'm helping survivors of childhood trauma move past the trauma and find new ways to uncover who they were meant to be.

I'm thankful to have my friend Elizabeth back here today to help parents recognize and understand the reactions that they may be having to their

children's behavior and how maybe some of these reactions are worth a deeper look

because they can give us the clarity that we need

to strengthen our relationships with our kids

and make our lives easier as parents.

Hi, Elizabeth, thank you so much for being here.

I am so glad to be here with you today.

Thank you.

Honestly, I think when the two of us come together,
