Breaking the Cycle: Understanding Dysfunctional Family Dynamics

Our experience shows that the codependent rupture which creates an outward focus to gain love, affirmation, love and affirmation is created by dysfunction of dysfunctional childhood.
Ever wonder how your childhood environment shapes who you are today? In this episode of 'The High Cost of Anonymity', Preston Moore takes a deep dive into the hidden impacts of growing up in a dysfunctional family. Inspired by a conversation with Adam and a closer look at ACA’s 'big red book', Moore unravels the complexities of living in a home where, even without alcohol or drugs, the scars of emotional neglect and mental health struggles run deep.
He draws parallels between these experiences and the challenges faced by those from alcoholic homes, highlighting common traits like shame, guilt, intimacy issues, and a constant feeling of abandonment. Using relatable examples like struggles with food and dieting, Moore makes these abstract concepts hit home. He emphasizes that the behaviors—obsession, compulsion, relapse—are strikingly similar. This episode is a call to recognize these patterns and seek healing through sharing your story, therapy, and support groups.
Moore's compassionate approach aims to break the cycle of generational trauma, urging listeners to turn their personal trials into a source of strength and connection.
