In this episode of the Get Obsessed podcast, hosts Julie Lokun and Mika Altidor welcome Dr. Sherrie Campbell for a powerful conversation about trauma healing, overcoming family trauma, recognizing emotional abuse, and finding freedom from a toxic family dynamic.

Inspired by her new book You Are Home, Dr. Campbell explains how survivors can recover from emotional neglect and childhood trauma by rebuilding their sense of safety, strengthening self-worth, and establishing healthy boundaries.

She shares why therapy, self-healing, and inner child healing are essential to improving mental health and breaking cycles of generational trauma. This episode also explores protective estrangement, learning to trust yourself again, and finding peace without waiting for family members to change.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How the idea behind You Are Home reframes trauma healing
• Why leaving a toxic family can be an act of protection instead of rejection
• Recognizing family trauma and why emotional abuse often becomes clear in midlife
• The realities of protective estrangement and navigating life after no contact
• Breaking generational patterns through love, respect, and intentional parenting
• Practical strategies for healing while still living with emotionally unhealthy family members
• Reclaiming self-worth by building an emotional home from within
