E124: It’s Time to Talk: Addiction, Stigma, and Breaking Free: Guest Elizabeth Kipp

Adult Child of Dysfunction

In this episode, Tammy Vincent welcomes back Elizabeth Kipp for another insightful conversation on the stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction in dysfunctional families. Elizabeth shares her powerful story of growing up with two alcoholic parents, highlighting the silence and denial that defined her childhood. Together, they explore how societal attitudes and fear perpetuate stigma, making it difficult for families to seek help or even acknowledge their struggles.

Tammy and Elizabeth also discuss the staggering statistic that one in four children grows up with an addicted parent, a figure they believe could be even higher. Drawing on insights from Dr. Gabor Maté’s The Myth of Normal, Elizabeth underscores the widespread impact of addiction and mental health issues on society.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on how labels and derogatory terms, like those used in past generations, contributed to the stigma of mental illness. Elizabeth passionately calls for change, saying, “It’s time to get up on a mountain and scream, stop!”

Bonus: If you missed her first visit, go back and listen to Episode 22, Adult Child of Dysfunction, where Elizabeth shared her foundational experiences growing up in a dysfunctional family and how they shaped her journey.
