E 316: Tammys take #21 3 Steps To Making Your Body Feel Safe

In this powerful Tammy’s Takes episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy Vincent expands on her conversation with Lori Montre and explores one of the biggest frustrations in healing: Why do we keep repeating the same patterns even when we know where they come from?

If you’ve ever thought:

“I know why I do this… so why can’t I stop?”

This episode is for you.

Tammy dives into why awareness alone does not heal trauma patterns, and how nervous system regulation—not just mindset—plays a critical role in changing behaviors like people-pleasing, emotional eating, anxiety, overthinking, shutting down, and emotional overwhelm.

Through a trauma-informed lens, Tammy explains why many survival patterns were learned as protection in childhood and why trying to “think your way out” of them often doesn’t work. Instead, she shares a practical 3-Step Pattern Interrupt Reset listeners can begin using immediately to create more emotional safety, regulate their nervous systems, and begin changing patterns from the inside out.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck in the same cycles, this episode offers hope, understanding, and practical tools to begin healing.
