Beyond Coping: What Drives Perfectionism and Hyper-Independence in Moms with Tisheila Justice
What if perfectionism, hyper-independence, and mom rage aren’t character flaws but survival strategies that once served you? In this powerful conversation, trauma therapist Tisheila Justice joins Emily to explore how unhealed wounds resurface in motherhood, why these coping mechanisms feel so hard to let go of, and how we can begin breaking cycles for ourselves and future generations.
The conversation gets into:
- The hidden link between trauma and perfectionism in motherhood
- Why hyper-independence feels safer than asking for help
- Nervous system regulation tools you can actually use in the moment
- How shifting focus from tasks to connection transforms parenting
- Why community is one of the most important starting points for healing
If you’ve ever felt like you should be able to do it all or battled shame around not being the “perfect mom,” this episode will help you reframe, release, and reconnect.
