Spiritual Wounds of Growing up in an Alcoholic Family ACOA - Healing & Hope

In this second Episode in our Series on Alcoholic Family Systems, we explore the common traits of ACOA (Adult Children of Alcoholics) and the spiritual wounds that it leaves them with. We discuss how Perfectionism, Difficulty with Intimacy, Control, and People Pleasing impact our faith life and relationship to God the Father. We explore how the "Good Girl Obsession" is a common result of growing up in an alcoholic family system, always trying desperately to be perfect but feeling like you're constantly falling short. And finally, We share concrete ways to heal from each of the described wounds through our Catholic Faith.🙏🏼 St. Dymphna, pray for us!0:00 Intro2:29 The Good Girl Obsession (Perfectionism and Faith Life)3:47 The Good Girl Graveyard6:38 Grieving the Loss of Perfectionism and the Idea of a Happy Childhood10:16 Fear of Intimacy and Faith Life14:50 Control Issues and Faith Life18:04 People pleasing and Faith Life20:19 Healing from Perfectionism through our Catholic Faith22:53 Healing from Fear of Intimacy through our Catholic Faith24:51 Healing from Control Issues through our Catholic Faith26:07 Healing from People Pleasing through our Catholic Faith---------------------------------------------------------------------Disclaimer: These videos are meant to inform and share our experiences.
