Tea with Geoff: Enmeshment Trauma
The “Invisible” Family Pattern That Shapes Your Boundaries
-
What “enmeshment trauma” is (relational family trauma): blurred boundaries between parent + child, emotional fusion, and feeling responsible for a parent’s stability and happiness.
-
Common survival patterns it creates: perfectionism/overachievement, chronic people-pleasing, hypervigilance, “peacemaker” behavior, fear of upsetting others, and disconnect from your real desires.
-
Why it’s so common: often rooted in the parent’s own unresolved trauma (intergenerational, war trauma, family dysfunction), which gets passed down unintentionally.
-
Fight/flight/freeze… and “fawn”: how survival-based emotional reflexes (especially fawn/freeze responses) show up in adulthood as anxiety and difficulty asserting independence.
-
Healing priorities: Geoff emphasized starting with healthy boundaries, safety, and security, because these are the first things trauma tends to injure.
-
Treating the family system: discussion on how healing can deepen when you address trauma patterns across generations (parents/grandparents), not just the individual.
-
Platform update: Geoff shared that the team is moving more audios to the new Mirsonics web app, including controls for sensitivity levels and the extend-audio feature for safer listening.

Tea with Geoff: Trauma, Healing & the Africa Case Files
A deeper look at how trauma can shape the body and mind, and what the Africa case stories reveal about healing at the root.
-
Special guest Nico (from the Netherlands) shares in-the-trenches context from Peter’s early work in Africa, case documentation, clinics, and data gathering.
-
Real case stories from Congo: how deep trauma (including sexual violence and war trauma) showed up as fear, nightmares, constant reliving, and loss of joy, and what changed after support.
-
Trauma → physical symptoms connection (women’s health, digestion, pain, immune function): how emotional trauma can show up in the body years later.
-
How the method works in Africa vs the U.S.: liquids (“version 1.0”) vs audio delivery (“version 2.0”) and why audio allows better tracking and consistency.
-
Generational trauma & epigenetics: how trauma can impact physiology across generations (and why this matters for healing).
-
Program updates: vision program check-ins + a quick note that the menopause app is now free (and Android is in progress).
-
What’s coming next: improved tracking + a stronger analytics platform to better understand what’s working and why.
