As a certified Gestalt practitioner, I have had remarkable success with participants in my inner child healing groups because of John’s work.

Well said sir❤

Poco tacto en la manipulación de los libros

Thank you

Brilliant! I am sharing this with my patients; planting seeds however I can!

I was bullied in school everyday for 8 consecutive years ..! 😓

10:13 “No, we don’t need to ignore them...” Agreed! Thank you.

Thank you for writing this 🙏🏻❤

Love this book,it explained so much for me and my sister. Thank you 🙏

Keep reminding each other

Thank you Dr Ackerman I can identify with the syndrome and working on myself

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am just beginning to explore the damage done by my alcoholic mother, and it’s very scary for me to confront these issues, so thank you, once again, your knowledge is very helpful.

At the age of 40 I’m only just piecing this info together. So many things have clicked in place now as I’ve never really understood myself. I thought I’d managed to cope with my past trauma but it’s still here, possibly worse than ever

4:24 :)

I'm an ACOA about to have my first session with a therapist because I can't deal with the physical fight/flight response when my father falls off the wagon (despite now being in my 40s) or someone near me is drunk or shouting. I'd never understood what the freeze response meant but this description exactly describes the way I feel when I get overwhelmed by my children sometimes.

I'm amazed how easily she brought up so much about the patterns and things I experienced in my own childhood. I'm happy that I am finally attempting to confront my trauma

@5:00 As a way to escape the abuse, I would journal. And in writing what happened, I was able to purge. I started to write a book about growing up in alcoholism and how it effects the brain and adulthood. I opened one of the many journals and realized I had suppressed so many memories of abuse that it sent me into a major depression for a couple months. I have since forgotten what I read. My brain protecting itself.

I am facing the past trauma... ACoA are very complex cases. There is no template

Although I acknowledge you have a PhD...and thats very impressive. I am sure you did quite a bit of research for this book, but disagree with at least one of your statements thus far. You state children have no knowledge that their parents are in a drunken rage...and are only taking it as the parents is yelling, screaming at them as their parent...is so far off. I was a child of 2 alcoholic parents from different household. I knew from the earliest of ages when my parents were not sober, and the distinct difference from when they were sober to when they were in drunken rages...and yes I knew it was the alcohol!

I think I kind of understand why I see "authority" figures as being poop stains...I grew up having to keep "secrets" Now mama wants to me be a poop stain keeping secrets.....thanks bitch

this is a really good video! thanks!

I just bought this book because it may help me as I recently been very ill which caused me to make a lot of changes.

My mother is still an alcoholic til this day and she gets hooked up financially from the government so she has no incentive to change.

I am the only sober person in my 👪 family

My father was a raging alcoholic. Every holiday the police were at our house. My childhood was brutal. It lasted for decades and I stuttered as a child and I feared my father. Once I had a poor report card and he nailed it to the wall to shame me. Yes I was beaten as a child. When I was drafted into the army life became easier.

Both my parents were and still are alcoholics😔. Currently struggling to gain my autonomy and break away from my toxic family. I certainly feel trapped currently as I still live with my family... Fear of failure has kept me stuck.

Thank you for acknowledging women from men. this is science. i appreciate it

I'm a 20 year old dealing with this trauma. And to me, control = safe.

Both my parents were addicts before and after my birth. (1 passed at 86 the other still alive) I became an addict by age 13 and went into Alateen and Al-Anon by 15. Both my siblings are still addicts. I spent my entire life in recovery and many kinds of therapy and group therapies. I definitely had PTSD but never got diagnosed until much later in my twenties. My biggest mistake was the many times I came and went back to family. I no longer see any of them and never will again. I had a child whose father was a practicing alcoholic and became a single parent soon after he was born. I thought my child needed family. And unfortunately because it was traumatizing to be around them I had to pull the both of us out of the family (1st time) when he was ten. He chose not to see his father throughout most of his childhood until he was in his late teens. As an adult now he’s angry with me because of my ending contact with my family back then. I always said he was welcome to see them once he was old enough to make that decision. But as a parent being responsible for him, I said not now. He made contact with them again in his late teens and sees his dad and stepmom and well... sadly... they bad mouth me, as do all family he’s contacted and so onward goes the merry-go-round of addiction. I had done so much recovery work, respectfully set boundaries with them starting back in the early 90’s so my conscience is clear that I’ve handled myself exceptionally well with them all. But it’s left them fuming and determined to hurt my relationship with my son. They’ve succeeded. Addiction is the gift that keeps on giving generation to generation. Glad I had one child and only one. Because no matter how hard I worked on myself, lived a clean life, a responsible life, I’m still impacted by the insanity of addictions. Now I’m older and I am still letting go. My son prefers seeing the family and not so much me. I meet my grief and stand in the truth because the truth prevails. Not much more I could and can do until he’s open to conversation which may be never. I celebrate anyone who can break the toxic bonds with anyone in addiction and especially when born into it and manages to escape and forge a good life for themselves despite the s-t the addicts continue to hurl at you. It is no small thing.

Can you tell me the machine name plz?

the dont have to be drunk to be in a rage, my dad was more ragefull when he was sober but an asshole when drunk

Thank you so much. The the why of this video makes so much sense. Does the book also deal on the how non addict ACA's recover?

my cptsd is awful and ive considered that the fact i freeze or want to fight just like the kids in my special needs school..... somedays im like why try? i so get the frontal cortex thing. im glad the bad relationship is over god did he ever yell at me.. talk about playing out his life.

As a hand bookbinder I must ask is this just showing what a fold out is . Is the text block sewn or glued . I do bible repair and run across this from time to time . It is usually a matter or repairing the paper hinge . I love Film OPlast or Japanese paper .

Bradshaw is amazing. His On the Family series saved me during my darkest depression when I became newly sober trying to understand my family of origin generational trauma.

XOXO 😘😘😘😘😘 LOVE IS LOVE 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

The oversimplification of Child's lack of nuance and treating them as if they were idiots is the worst part.

Why does it look like Snake oil sales to me?

My ex was a daughter of an alcoholic, I wish I knew this information. I perhaps could have saved the relationship...

This video really makes me appreciate the well-shot, succinct yet informative nature of How It's Made with that buttery voice to boot.

Very well done thank you !

I will make it my life's purpose to carry this man's work to my fellow recovering addicts.

Thank you !

I need more copies of my book

I wish the mental health professionals I had a lifetime of treatment with could have considered/known about this. They just re-enacted it.
