176 - Dysfunctional Family Dynamics: Navigating Conflict (Part 2) - Processing Anger
Season 1 · Episode 176
mercredi 28 août 2024 • Duration 53:13
Is thinking that you’re “just angry” preventing you from truly resolving conflict? 🤔
Anger is often a secondary emotion - meaning it is a mask for another emotion like fear, sadness, shame or disappointment. When we don’t recognize that our anger is masking deeper, more uncomfortable emotions, it keeps us from seeing the conflict clearly. Instead, we end up reacting to our anger rather than addressing the real, underlying issues.
True conflict resolution only happens when we dig deeper and uncover what's beneath the surface. It’s not about “winning” an argument; it’s about understanding ourselves and each other better.
In today's episode of Adult Child, we break down how to process your anger in a way that helps you get to the heart of the conflict, rather than staying stuck in a cycle of reactive emotions.

128 - Fear of Abandonment, People Pleasing and Inner Child Wounds with Energy Healing Practitioner John Steen
Season 1 · Episode 126
mercredi 6 septembre 2023 • Duration 01:08:43
John Steen is an energy healing practitioner and fellow adult child of an alcoholic. He grew up in Boston with an alcoholic mother and emotionally unavailable father in a volatile and chaotic household.
John hit an emotional bottom in October 2020, which made him realize that despite his years of therapy and 12-step programs - he still had not addressed his fear of abandonment, people-pleasing tendencies and inner child wounds.
His subsequent recovery journey led him to Field Dynamics - an energy healing modality created by Keith Parker. He is now a Field Dynamics practitioner helping others clear their energetic blocks that are keeping them from living in their highest potential.
