Fellow member of The Shitshow Jesse joins us to discuss the intricate dynamics of trauma responses, dissociation, and the importance of understanding and nurturing the fragmented parts of oneself.Complex trauma can lead to fragmentation of the self, where a person's identity splits into distinct parts to cope with overwhelming experiences. These parts often include a wounded inner children holding the trauma, protector parts that guards against further harm, and manager parts that strives to maintain normalcy and control. This fragmentation helps the individual survive but can cause long-term psychological challenges.Connecting with our fragmented parts allows us to understand and integrate the different aspects of our identity shaped by trauma, fostering self-compassion and healing. This process helps to resolve internal conflicts, leading to a more cohesive and resilient self.⬇️DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY⬇️https://theshitshow.mn.co4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST)Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chat📰SIGN UP FOR SHITSHOW NATION - ADULT CHILD NEWSLETTER👩HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT🐱  www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild🛍️SHITSHOW MERCH🛍️www.adultchildpodcast.com/shop🎙️NEW TO THE POD🎙️How I learned I was an Adult Child - The Tale of 2 BriansTHE LAUNDRY LIST - Common Characteristics of an Adult ChildFollow Andrea on socialwww.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodhttps://www.youtube.com/@adultchildpodMid-roll music source (I do not own the rights of song - for entertainment purposes only, no monetization)Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ADULTCHILD for a great deal: happymammoth.comOur Sponsors:* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ADULTCHILD for 15% off: https://happymammoth.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
