In this episode of the Time with Tim podcast, Tim and Andy speak again with Jenna Miscavige Hill. Jenna grew up in the Church of Scientology, a world shaped by control, suppression, secrecy, and fear. As the niece of Scientology’s leader, David Miscavige, she was immersed in a system designed to break individuality and demand absolute loyalty.

Jenna opens up about her Scientology upbringing, delving into the raw emotions of abandonment and shame that shaped her identity. She offers a candid look at her journey towards self-trust and healing, sharing how mindfulness became her lifeline.

Throughout their conversation, a powerful message emerges: embracing imperfection and showing self-compassion are key to personal growth and fostering healthier connections with our children and ourselves.

People who have experienced trauma have trouble regulating their emotions. They have a stress response system that is overactive and overreactive. It often results in problems in relationships and at work. Why is emotional dysregulation part of trauma? What can a person do to change? Having a tendency in life to live for instant gratification may seem innocent, but it can lead to many unforeseen problems. It is an especially difficult issue for people with Complex Trauma. Why is that? What are practical tools for change?
