Daughter's Inheritance: From Survival to Safety: A Mother's Choice to Break the Cycle

For decades, she fought invisible wars inside a nervous system shaped by trauma, survival, and a longing for safety she couldn't yet name. What looked like anxiety, over-functioning, and resilience was often trauma bonding and nervous system dysregulation rooted in complex childhood wounds.

Written from lived experience-not theory, but embodiment-this memoir explores how CPTSD quietly rewires survival, connection, and self-worth. It sheds light on how transformative therapies like EMDR can become a bridge between insight and true healing.

Through the integration of science, faith, and deep inner work, Tammy shares what it means to heal not just cognitively, but somatically-allowing the body to finally experience safety, truth, and rest.
