Tammy Vincent interviewed Elizabeth Kipp about chronic pain in a dysfunctional family in Episode 22: Healing Unleashed: Overcoming Chronic Pain with Elizabeth Kipp on Adult Child of Dysfunction: Thriving After Chaos Podcast with Tammy Vincent on November 25, 2023.
LISTEN HERE.
Tammy Vincent, a survivor and thriver, has transformed her life from the challenges of being an adult child of two alcoholic parents. With a Master’s degree in Education and Addiction and Recovery certifications, she’s a beacon of hope for others on their paths to transformation.
You can break the cycle of your dysfunctional beginning by rewriting your story to one of resilience, hope, and healing. Children of alcoholic and dysfunctional families have been conditioned to distrust themselves and others. We desire to be our true selves, but we’re stuck in the past with a subconscious mind dictating our present. Together, we can free your inner child and learn to live a life filled with joy and purpose.
