In this latest adult child in recovery podcast, I sat down with returning guest and psycho-therapist Phyllis Leavitt, the author of America In Therapy. We talked about the potential danger when untreated childhood wounds go unaddressed and how this may create a toxic sense of entitlement and misuse of power that can destroy innocent lives and your closest relationships not only in America but globally. Phyllis spoke about her own childhood trauma and shared practical and profound insights on how to move from survival mode and embody inner resilience.

The theme of this show is Trust and Safety and how they're inherently linked. Many adult children didn't have a strong and consistent safety net growing up which makes it harder to trust ourselves and the world and if you grew up and witnessed the first adults in your life acting out, you probably froze and needed to become invisible so trust and safety are our birthright and it's not too late to learn what it takes to become your own loving parent.

Greetings Adult Child,

On this episode, I sat down with returning guest and therapist Phyllis Leavitt who is the author of America In Therapy where we talked about when unhealed childhood trauma can get the best of us and even create toxic relationships.

We spoke about the potential danger when untreated wounds create a sense of entitlement and misuse of power when unhealthy family dynamics are not examined which can cause havoc, war and loss of lives globally.

Phyllis spoke about her childhood sexual trauma and how she was able to use her insights and strength to create her own therapeutic practice and share powerful tools to support others to become more resilient when faced with fear and overwhelm.

We spoke about what we can do individually and collectively to heal trauma and learn to be kinder and more compassionate with each other.

Re-Writing Childhood Trauma Scripts

Greetings Resilient Adult Child,

Thank you for joining me for episode 24 where I sat down for a raw & real healing conversation with trauma informed business & leadership coach Denise G Lee.

We talked about the lifelong impact of unhealed childhood wounds, spiritual injuries & emotional scars and how we can slowly recover when we connect with safe healers, teachers & a community that feels often more loving & kind than our own biological family. Denise & I spoke our deeply embedded auto pilot scripts and programs that trigger our nervous system and how we can learn how to self-regulate to calm and soothe our inner child parts so we can thrive and reclaim our right to joy, peace, health & happiness.

Denis specializes in helping leaders and solo entrepreneurs transform their challenges into breakthroughs. With over a decade of experience, she offers clear, actionable strategies that simplify decision-making and accelerate success. Her coaching blends no-nonsense advice with empathetic support, tailored to empower business owners to tackle their unique obstacles and lead with confidence.

I hope you'll enjoy this deep conversation where we share practical tools for overcoming setbacks, gaining clarity, and making impactful & in some cases life changing decisions.
