## Resource

What if your biggest struggles aren’t something to “fix”… but something to understand? In this powerful episode of the Adult Child of Dysfunction Podcast , I sit down with certified hypnotherapist and life coach Peter McLaughlin to explore the deep connection between trauma, the subconscious mind, and the patterns that quietly run your life. After being diagnosed with both Lyme disease and leukemia in the same day, Peter’s life took a dramatic turn—one that led him into a profound journey of healing, self-discovery, and understanding the mind-body-spirit connection. Together, we break down how past experiences—especially childhood trauma—get stored in the subconscious and continue to shape your thoughts, behaviors, emotional responses, and even physical health. We also dive into the truth about “self-sabotage”… and why it’s not actually sabotage at all—but a protective response from your subconscious mind that doesn’t realize the threat is no longer there. This conversation will challenge the way you think about healing. Because healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken… It’s about uncovering what’s underneath. 💥 In This Episode, We Talk About: ✔ The powerful connection between the mind, body, and subconscious patterns ✔ How trauma gets stored and continues to impact your life years later ✔ Why “self-sabotage” is actually your brain trying to protect you ✔ How hypnosis works and what it really is (not what you think) ✔ The role of childhood experiences in shaping your adult behaviors ✔ Why healing requires going to the root—not just managing symptoms ✔ How shifting your perspective can completely change your life 🔑 Key Takeaway: You are not broken. Your patterns were created for a reason—and once you understand them, you can begin to change them. 🔗 Connect with Peter Mc…
