DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY DETOX RETREAT March 5th-7th - Free online event w/ 14 experts teaching you strategies you can use to overcome the impact of toxic family dynamics.

SIGN UP HERE!

Physical symptoms were Ana Maria's wake-up call 10 years ago. A trip to the ER led to a therapist's couch, where she learned that the adrenal fatigue and other on-going medical concerns she had been suffering from were the somatic symptoms of her unresolved developmental trauma. She has spent the past 10 years healing the scars of her past and helps others to do the same as a life coach and healing strategist.

In today’s episode, we discuss...

The pattern of seeking familiar yet unhealthy dynamics in romance, friendship and work

Reconciling the duty to our toxic parents with our need for self-preservation

How the nuts and bolts of healing childhood developmental trauma occurs in “interactionship” with others

The pain of grieving your parents while they’re still alive
