Ep.4- The Invisible Wounds of Childhood
from Beyond Survival - The Therapy Podcast with Katie McKenna · host Katie McKenna
In this solo episode, I'm exploring the invisible wounds that form in childhood when you're raised in dysfunctional or narcissistic family systems — ranging from hyper-dependence to hyper-independence — and how these patterns follow us into adulthood. I’ll also talk about the roots of these behaviours, including parentification and unhealthy parental dynamics, and offer ways to begin challenging these conditioned responses without becoming overwhelmed. Tune in to recognise if you’re still in survival mode, or to reflect on how far you’ve already come.Quiz - "Are You Really Going From Zero to Ten?"Find out where you're actually starting fromBEYOND SURVIVAL - The Therapy Podcast
