Welcome to the first episode of the Dysfunctional Family series, a special segment of The Healing Version podcast. In this episode, I open up with a personal truth: “I used to think I was born into the wrong family, but I’ve come to realize that God placed me exactly where I was needed—to be a light and start the hard conversations others are too afraid to have.”
On this episode, we’re diving into two major causes of family dysfunction: poor communication and lack of accountability. I’ll talk about why so many families avoid honest conversations, and how fear, assumptions, and silence can create emotional distance and break trust. We’ll look at the impact of things like blame-shifting, gaslighting, and refusing to take responsibility—and how these patterns often get passed down from one generation to the next. I’ll also share some real-life examples of how these issues show up in everyday family life.
