Recovery is a process. It takes time, it takes patience, it takes everything you got.

My name is Andrea and this is Adult Child.

Hey, hey, now. Welcome back to deep down to Just let it all go

What's making you slow now

Let it all go

Welcome back to adult child

Where we take a deep dive into the impact of growing up

In a dysfunctional family

Ahoy my dear shit shows

For any new listeners

My name is Andrea.

I am a total and complete shit show and proud of it.

And I am an adult child.

And if you're wondering what the hell that is, allow me to tell you.

An adult child is somebody who grew up in a dysfunctional family.

So basically everybody whose unresolved childhoods surface and play out in adulthood, and not in the best of ways.

Okay, let me tell you what these wounds look like.

They look like people pleasing, approval seeking, codependency, an overdeveloped sense of responsibility, fear of inanimate or fear of amishment, take your pick, fear of people and authority figures,

a tendency to be attracted to the emotionally unavailable, low self-esteem, highly judgmental

of oneself and others, basically people who are just like totally crushing it. And so this is

where we talk about what the hell to do about it. And we talk about serious shit, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We curse here.

You've been warned. I also make really weird facial expressions. I want to tell you this funny
