In this episode of Tammy's Takes , trauma coach Tammy Vincent explores one of the most powerful lessons from her conversation with Holly Haag: healing begins the day you become your own safe person. Growing up in dysfunction teaches us to survive by reading the room, keeping everyone else happy, and ignoring our own needs. Those survival strategies may have protected us as children, but they often leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected as adults. Tammy explains why your nervous system continues to react long after childhood is over, shares a simple exercise you can begin using today, and offers practical steps to start rebuilding self-trust from the inside out. If you've ever wondered why you struggle with boundaries, anxiety, or constantly feel responsible for everyone else's emotions, this episode will help you understand why—and show you where healing begins.
