"The Traits of an Adult Child of Dysfunction." | Amanda Delaney | TEDxDunLaoghaire

[@carolineodonovan2641]

Amanda, you are a lady who has not only shown up for who you really are but also has shone a light for anyone looking for a way out of the dark into the light. A captivating talk full of hope and passion

[@AmandaDelaneyBusinessMentor]

Thank you Caroline

[@monicaevie4152]

TED Talks have millions of subscribers. Yet no one watched this video. Why? Because the viewers of Ted Talke are a bunch of rich, spoiled, privileged people who live perfect lives and who are able to focus on things that educate them and improve their lives. They didn't grow up in addiction or poverty, so they don't appreciate videos like these. As a 28 year old white girl who is on welfare and grew up in a trailer park with addict parents, I thank you so much for this video. People like myself APPRECIATE you. Thank you so much.

[@ThisIsAnAccountUKnow]

I understand your viewpoint, but there are plenty of "rich, spoiled, privileged people" who also grew up with addicts. unfortunately addiction and abuse care very little what your income or class are.

[@tevinmudaly]

@Monica Evie I appreciate your comment and this video. I also grew up poor with drug addict parents. I know where you are coming from. Be strong.

[@charlescharliechazz]

Everyone has their own issues. No one lives a "perfect life" and if you keep dividing people in your mind you will always find a reason to remain victimized (another trait of ACoA). Find peace in your own journey and do not judge another's journey. God bless you.

Someone’s got some issues they’re working out on KZbin…

[@turtlevillanueva118]

Tons of people watched this you arent the only one with a sob story no one cares 😂😂🫵🏽

[@SpiritualSparkle770]

Thanks Amanda! Very well explained and inspirational! After 40 years on this planet and being too busy focusing on other chapters of abuse, dysfunction and all the rest of it I’ve decided to check in with myself at the beginning - being born to an alcoholic mother and until now have always just seen it as “poor mum, poor me’. Time to take a closer look at those traits! X

[@AmandaDelaneyBusinessMentor]

I wish you peace and empowerment as you increase your knowledge and understanding.

[@AmandaDelaneyBusinessMentor]

You can work on all "issues" if you are willing to take responsibility and do the work.

[@msilvaoregon]

[@micoark7087]

Sadly this is just monolgue, not referencing any supportive information.

[@tommydinob]

I get it….there’s not any real solution. But, for some folks it’s a start. Some people just need to hear their story so that they can even start the identification process.

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people because an upsetting event occurs in their lives taking them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
