Reasons for Adult children of alcoholics:

Often, living with an alcoholic is a traumatic experience. Therefore, adult children of alcoholic parents often have post-traumatic stress disorder. From therapy, you can learn holistic skills to love yourself and overcome trauma. Then, you can overcome the panic and anxiety before it overwhelms you!
Lack of trust is common in adult children of alcoholic parents
The first thing that we observe in adult children of alcoholics is the erosion of trust. Therefore, adult children of alcoholics stop trusting the people around them. Sometimes, ad adults, trauma holds you back from being the best parent you can be. For example, if you don’t trust your children in casual matters, they start feeling like a criminal. Maybe, you are very critical and don’t realize it. But, this unhealed part of you due to your childhood pushes your children away. To add, this lack of trust from your childhood, may perpetuate the negative cycle of addiction and lead to their alcoholism.

Growing up with fear:
ACOAs, which have faced domestic violence, conflict or any internal clashes in family, grows up with a fear. This fear ruins the life of the child and takes away a playful childhood. Also, this childhood fear creates trauma because self-confidence can never develop. So, the child living with parental alcoholism lives a life in fear of their parents. Due to the uncertainty and instability in childhood, adulthood is also uncertain and emotionally unstable. At Wisdom Within Counseling, we specialize in helping adult children of alcoholic parents thrive with confidence and clarity. Call/text 860-451-9364 to begin with a phone consult.
Overcome shame and develop confidence through alcoholism and addiction therapy in Connecticut
When a child grows up in an environment where domestic violence is not a big deal, this child always feels shame. And, sometimes, the situation is so terrible that even the child doesn’t know it is wrong until adult years. Often, shame is the root of addiction, alcoholism, and depression. Therefore, ACOAs were victims of verbal, physical, and sexual abuse. So, at Wisdom Within Counseling, we help adult children of alcoholic parents no longer be a victim. Lastly, we help families overcome alcohol and other addictions from trauma focused therapies.
Learn skills for self-leadership and confidence:
Often, our marriage and family therapists specialize in childhood trauma. Therefore, post traumatic stress disorder is a result of childhood abuse and neglect. Now, when children grow up with alcoholism, they lose their childhood and take on parental responsibilities. Unfortunately, when the children are unable to be children, and grow up too fast, they develop impulsive, reckless parts. And, these parts are a result of childhood trauma.
Often, we help families and parents who survived domestic violence. Domestic violence is where you or your child was physically, emotionally, or sexually abused.
