A Daughter's Inheritance: From Survival to Safety: A Mother’s Choice to Break the Cycle

For decades, she fought invisible wars inside a nervous system shaped by trauma, survival, and a longing for safety she couldn’t yet name. What looked like anxiety, over-functioning, and resilience was often trauma bonding and nervous system dysregulation rooted in complex childhood wounds.Written from lived experience—not theory, but embodiment—this memoir explores how CPTSD quietly rewires survival, connection, and self-worth. It sheds light on how transformative therapies like EMDR can become a bridge between insight and true healing.Through the integration of science, faith, and deep inner work, Tammy shares what it means to heal not just cognitively, but somatically—allowing the body to finally experience safety, truth, and rest.
