Neuroscience of Trauma: Healing Emotional Wounds in Adult Children

from Lisa A Romano Breakdown to Breakthroughs · host Lisa A. Romano

When you are an adult child of emotional neglect, or were raised in an alcoholic, narcissistic, or unpredictable home, you are not aware of how your brain wires the nervous system to be locked in survival mode. Daughters and sons of toxic parents learned to survive through hypervigilance, scanning the faces, moods, and body movements of those around them. This type of scanning, codes the brain for survival and fear anticipation.  The problem is, adult children from abusive, neglectful or toxic homes do not know this has occurred. From within the ego system, the little self assumes that what it feels, anticipates and experiences is all there is. This is why so many well meaning, and fully committed adult children who seek inner growth, personal development and healing, are baffled by why they feel so stuck.  Being prepared saves your brain energy, but when you are emotionally wounded in childhood, you do not know how your brain keeps you stuck in survival, and unable to escape, thereby locking you into loops of self sabotaging behaviors regardless of how often you hear your conscious mind screaming for something new and improved.    You'll learn: • Why trauma trains the brain to predict danger (and pick the same partners/jobs) • How insecure attachment, fawning & people-pleasing sabotage manifestation • The role of the default mode network, metacognition & observer consciousness • Practical tools to down-regulate, update your "inner algorithm," and choose new codes • How to trust divine intuition without bypassing the science Next step Start healing your inner child today with Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Program.
