Ever wondered how childhood experiences shape our adult lives? In this episode of ACA Tuesday Zoombox, Michael C. shares his journey from unconscious actions to conscious choices. Growing up in a household marked by authoritarianism and unpredictability, Michael opens up about the profound impact it had on his fear of authority figures and his tendency to isolate himself.
He reflects on the survival mechanisms he developed as a child and how they carried into his adult life, affecting his relationships and work dynamics. With raw honesty, Michael recounts his struggles with approval-seeking behaviour and low self-esteem, which led him to make poor decisions in both personal and professional spheres. He also discusses the challenges of dealing with anger and criticism, drawing from his experiences in various work environments.
Through anecdotes about his time as an artist and his interactions with colleagues, Michael illustrates the slow but significant progress he's made in his recovery journey. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the complexities of growing up in a dysfunctional family and the ongoing process of healing and self-discovery. If you're looking for a candid and relatable story about overcoming the shadows of the past, this episode is a must-listen.
