In this powerful episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction , Tammy Vincent sits down with Dr. Elisabeth Morray, licensed psychologist, acceptance and commitment therapy expert, and VP of Clinical at Alma. Dr. Morray introduces the concept of psychological flexibility —the ability to experience difficult thoughts, emotions, memories, and life circumstances without allowing them to control your choices, identity, or future. For adult children of dysfunction, this conversation is especially important. When you grew up adapting to chaos, people-pleasing, walking on eggshells, or trying to earn safety and love, your survival patterns may still be making decisions for you today. Together, Tammy and Dr. Morray talk about how to: Understand the six core components of psychological flexibility Stop treating every thought as truth Create distance between “I am a failure” and “I am having the thought that I am a failure” Stay present instead of reacting from childhood survival wiring Discover your values when you have spent your life being who everyone else needed you to be Understand why pain and connection often come together Stop trying to avoid every hard feeling Find a therapist who makes you feel safe, seen, heard, and accepted Know when it is okay to leave a therapist who is not the right fit Set up your environment to support the life you want instead of relying only on motivation and willpower One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is simple but powerful: You are not your thoughts. You are the person noticing your thoughts—and you can choose what happens next. Dr. Morray also shares how Alma helps people find therapists and medication prescri…","meta_description":"What if healing is not about getting rid of painful thoughts, fixing every feeling, or becoming a completely different person?
