In this powerful episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction , I sit down with Faith Ashenden to explore the connection between childhood trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic illness. Faith shares her personal journey from multiple autoimmune diagnoses, including Graves’ disease, to full-body healing by addressing the mind-body connection and subconscious patterns. We break down how growing up in dysfunction wires the nervous system for survival instead of safety, and how that chronic stress can manifest as fatigue, anxiety, gut issues, brain fog, and long-term health conditions. We also talk about why symptom management alone isn’t enough… and what it actually takes to heal at the root level. If you’ve ever felt like something is “off” in your body but can’t find answers, this episode will help you understand why. 🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The connection between the nervous system and chronic illness How childhood trauma impacts adult physical health Why high-achievers and perfectionists are more prone to chronic symptoms Common early signs of nervous system dysregulation (fatigue, anxiety, gut issues, brain fog) Why traditional and even holistic approaches sometimes fall short The role of the subconscious mind in healing How to begin shifting from survival mode to true regulation 💬 Key Takeaway: You are not broken. Your body is responding exactly the way it was wired to survive… and healing begins when you understand that. 🔗 Connect with Faith Ashenden: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thathealingfeeling Website: https://faithashenden.com Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!
