Podcast: Beyond Survival - The Therapy Podcast with Katie McKenna
Published On: Fri Jul 11 2025
Description: In this solo episode, I'm exploring the invisible wounds that form in childhood when you're raised in dysfunctional or narcissistic family systems — ranging from hyper-dependence to hyper-independence — and how these patterns follow us into adulthood. I’ll also talk about the roots of these behaviours, including parentification and unhealthy parental dynamics, and offer ways to begin challenging these conditioned responses without becoming overwhelmed. Tune in to recognise if you’re still in survival mode, or to reflect on how far you’ve already come.The C.A.L.M Method If you want to be notified when Katie is running the next group -  Join the Waitlist today Calmer parenting and a happier home and kids is so much closer than you thinkKatie McKennaAccredited Psychotherapist, Podcast Host, AuthorBEYOND SURVIVAL - The Therapy Podcast
