Healing from Dysfunctional Family Dynamics with Meredith Wickliffe

If you grew up in dysfunction, you were programmed at a very, very early age.
Ever wondered why some family patterns just seem to stick? In this episode of The Recovered Life Show, hosts Damon Frank and Kristina Dennis sit down with Meredith Wickliffe, a recovered life coach who specializes in codependency and dysfunctional family dynamics. Meredith opens up about her own experiences growing up in a chaotic household marked by addiction, alcoholism, and mental health struggles.
She candidly discusses how these early experiences shaped her emotional and mental health, leading her to a career dedicated to helping others navigate similar challenges. Meredith highlights that while addiction and alcoholism are visible symptoms, codependency often lurks beneath the surface as the most deeply rooted issue. She explains how traits like perfectionism, poor communication, and a lack of trust can stem from growing up in a dysfunctional family.
Damon adds that people accustomed to chaos might find it difficult to break free from these patterns, but doing so is crucial for their well-being. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who has ever questioned the origins of their behavior or felt trapped by their family dynamics. It's an eye-opening discussion about the importance of recognizing these patterns, seeking help, and setting boundaries to heal from past trauma.
