Summary
Whether you are the adult child of an alcoholic, or emotionally immature or neglectful parents raised you, it is important to contemplate the effects of such a childhood. Do you worry more about what other people think about you than what you think about yourself? Were you raised to feel as if your emotions were insignificant? Was your home unpredictable, and did you feel like at any moment, your house could explode?
In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, a world-renowned mental wellness expert, dives deep into some of the not so obvious effects of growing up in an alcoholic, toxic family system. The good news is, there is a way to heal and to break through the damaging effects growing up in a dysfunctional home creates. The first step is coming out of denial.
