Adult Child - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Clear and direct advice for ACA recovery. Andrea’s ability to explain the effects of CPTSD in simple language that is relatable is so helpful to my recovery work. I really appreciate her sharing her own journey and normalizing this hard work and giving real examples of tools that help with recovery. Enjoy your break Andrea - so well deserved and helpful for me to hear too! We’ll be here for you in 2025 and beyond!

Adult child offers highly informative yet relatable content for those of us who did not have healthy examples of family and relationships. Andrea and her guests offer thought provoking and bold accounts of their life experiences to provide a source of inspiration. One thing that sets this show apart is the humor that is sprinkled throughout the episodes to add a lighthearted and welcoming atmosphere so you are excited to listen to the episodes rather than feeling overwhelmed consuming more content

I just recently discovered Andrea’s (Not ONdrea) podcast. I am several episodes in and am loving it. I am a licensed therapist and work with a lot of ACOAs. It is obvious she has done and is continuing to do her own work and Im grateful she is putting this out into the world for others to hear!

I cannot say enough about Andrea, the host of this podcast....she's so down to earth, to the point, intelligent and, funny.

I finally feel understood, and, like I'm not the only one who is 54 years old, feeling inside as though I'm 15! Inner child, good ol inner child.

Being here with Andrea, and, her guests, really helps me to realize we're all a work in progress, we are all striving to be our best self.

I love all of the episodes, i take away so much from listening.

Andrea....thank you so much for being you, and for putting the topics out there, that really need to be brought to light.

The host seems to not take CPTSD as a serious diagnosis, rather as a fun, quirky thing to have. She doesn’t seem to really understand complex topics related to trauma and CPTSD, pushes pop psychology narratives, and seems to have super rigid beliefs about CPTSD that sound like what a teenager on TikTok who doesn’t understand trauma or their condition would say. She asks ridiculous questions to professionals who seem annoyed to have their time wasted like this. She seems to only want to have her own narratives confirmed and isn’t interested in the reality of CPTSD, people’s experiences, research, etc.

Not gonna lie this pod has really shifted something in me. It’s the first thing I have dove into on this topic and it’s the reason for the stars. This work matters but this may not be our best option. I started at episode 1, I’m on episode 26 and I’m done. I kept noticing her lack of privilege in this recovery world and 25 episodes in and it just doesn’t seem to provide an inclusive space. I also find her to be flippant with a lot of the guests during their moments of vulnerability. Yes this work matters. But if you value inclusivity and acknowledgement of privilege, I advise to look elsewhere.
