Are you constantly wondering what the hell is wrong with me? Why don’t I trust people? Why do the same things keep happening over and over again? Is there something wrong with me? Why don’t I ever feel like I’m enough? HOW DO I CHANGE MY LIFE?! Then it’s time to grab your coffee, or wine, or whatever you need and curl up on the couch with these real and inspiring conversations with Teri Anderson of Digging Through Dominoes. Don’t be surprised if you see glimpses of yourself as Teri shares her very real (sometimes hard to believe) stories. From childhood neglect to abusive relationships, she’s seen her fair share of hardships and KNOWS the feelings of unworthiness, hopelessness and despair. But she fought her way through to where she is today – fighting the good fight to live a good life, learning about herself and how to love herself. More importantly, she wants to share that hope and optimism that she’s gained through enduring the hardest of times. In a world where depression and anxiety are growing, and PTSD is finally being recognized, we all need a safe place to go and be heard and understood. Digging through Dominoes is that place. It’s the place to be if you’ve experienced any sort of mental, physical or emotional trauma. It’s a safe haven that welcomes you in, but isn’t afraid to talk about what hurts the most. The stories may be hard but they are REAL and there is hope at the end of the day! Teri’s mission is to let you know that you’re safe, you’re definitely not alone, and to never give up because there is always hope!

What is your trauma response? Fight? Flight? Freeze? Fawn?
What are trauma responses and how do we figure out what ours is? How are they made? What can we do about them?
Adverse childhood experiences, abuse, neglect, and traumas train our brain from pre verbal ages to the time our personality is set.
Our entire lives are being affected by hidden traumas, remembered traumas, and a myriad of other not so good for us experiences.
It's not to late to have a better future!

I had no idea what an emotional flashback was, much less how to manage them.
I now realize the most difficult times of my adult life have been filled with emotional flashbacks and just how they were controlling my life.
Listen along as I explain what emotional flashbacks are and how I am now learning to manage them.

A vital part of staying on top of recovering from trauma is knowing what the signs are that it's time to take care of you.
Self care is something we sometimes think can be put off. As soon as you recognize your triggers and you feel you're about to spiral, taking care of yourself is your top priority,
We were neglected and abandoned as children so it's natural to think we don't matter. However, it's imperative we get to know ourselves and listen to the signs of your inner child crying for help.

therapist1:09i think a lot of people shy away from1:11therapy because they cannot find a1:14therapist that they can connect to and1:16that happened to me it took me years to1:20find the right therapist1:21and the right psychiatrist and i1:25you know i've got a team you know the1:28three of us we really work at this hard1:30we work at keeping me healthy1:33and1:34above above the surface of the water1:36when there are a lot of times that i1:38wanted to be nothing but below the1:40surface of the water1:42well this week in therapy we talked1:44about some things that brought some1:45things up emotionally for me1:48that really1:51are affecting me1:53and you know i want to be really blatant1:54really transparent really clear with1:56everyone1:58i am still very affected by the things2:01that happened to me when i was a kid and2:03i'm going to tell you about some of that2:05but it2:06with the forewarning that this is going2:08to be a shorter episode this week2:11for that very reason i'm trying to still2:14work through these things and on the2:16surface they may not seem that2:25crucial2:26but to me what it did it brought back2:30those feelings i had in full2:34force2:36we were talking about the death2:40of the one person in my life2:43i knew loved me2:45beyond2:46measure2:49that was my grandmother2:51i mean i want you to picture this okay2:54here i am this this little kid i was2:57probably2:58four or five years old3:01my grandmother3:03had a farm3:04that she rented out3:06she was very cosmopolitan very chic and3:09you know way cool3:12she was born on the farm she hated it3:14she was always embarrassed that she was3:17had been born on a farm and she didn't3:18have shoes and she didn't have a horse3:20to ride to school that she had to ride3:23to school on a mule3:25so she really pushed and pushed and she3:28got herself out of that town but she3:31kept that farm3:33and we were at the farm one time i don't3:36know doing farm business or whatever she3:38took me with her3:40a lot3:41and there was i don't remember what it3:43was called it was sort of like a3:45reservoir3:46it was like3:48you know the beverly hillbillies they3:49call the swimming pool the concrete pond3:51well this to the best of my recollection3:54it was a3:56a concrete3:58pond but it was above ground i don't4:00know i don't know how big it was it had4:02some fish in it and there was one4:04particular fish i wanted4:08and i'm watching this woman dress to the4:10nines4:12take her shoes off roll her pants up4:15climb into that reservoir whatever it4:18was to catch the only fish i wanted i4:22didn't want any other fish i wanted that4:24one blue fish4:26and i'm watching her with a jar4:29walk around4:31trying to catch that damn fish4:34if that doesn't say i love you4:39and i4:40want you to know i love you4:43i don't know what does4:46but she did it4:48my parents never would have done that4:50never never never4:54but we were talking about her and the4:56things that she had done that really4:58made me feel wanted accepted5:03and5:05cherished5:08and then what her death did to me5:13being the age i was i was almost 165:16years old i had had5:18i was blessed i had a much longer time5:20with my grandmother than my my cousins5:23did5:25and i was also the first grandchild5:28for i was a girl5:30first grandchild and therefore i held5:34the crown5:36in the5:39grandchild arena according to my5:42grandmother5:44and5:45i have to say that my aunts5:48i think they gave me a little bit of5:50grace in that i think5:53with me i would have a little bit of5:54trouble with my p with my mother5:58indulging one grandchild over another6:01but i think they may have had a little6:02grace with me6:04because they did see6:06what i went through with my parents6:10being you know almost 16 there are some6:12things that they told me there were a6:14lot of things that they didn't tell me6:18we did some wonderful wonderful things6:21before she died and when she died6:24it was the strangest thing6:26i was6:28i was in bed i was asleep and my mother6:31came into my room and woke me up6:36and6:38she said terry deena just died6:41i said i know6:44and my mother just collapsed crying on6:46me6:48which was for me very uncomfortable and6:50very unusual because my mother my6:52parents did not touch me they did not6:56hug me and i can remember looking back6:58at7:00christmas photos7:03with my mother and her sisters and their7:04families and we always get a picture7:06every7:07every christmas7:09and7:10in my aunt's families they're laying on7:12each other they're hugging each other7:14they're7:14you know being all lovey-dovey7:18but in the fan the pictures with my7:20family7:21we were about six inches apart7:23everyone's arms were crossed and no one7:25was touching7:27that i think was the first time i7:29realized there was a real legitimate7:32problem with my family7:34and i don't know how i got off on that7:35track talking i guess because i didn't7:37want to really7:38have to talk about the death of my7:40grandmother7:42but my mother came in and she said terry7:44had her dina had died7:47and i knew7:48because i had just had a dream7:51if you could call it a dream or was it7:53not a dream did i actually travel there7:55did she beckon me to her7:58in her final moments8:00i remember being in the bedroom that she8:03was in8:04and we were talking i had been out and8:07bought a dress that day for a school8:09dance8:10and there was a sandstorm which was very8:12unusual in dfw8:14but back on the farm it wasn't unusual8:17at all they were all the time8:20and i remember telling her we talked for8:22a bit she told me how much she loved me8:25i was telling her you know she asked me8:27about my day i told her about the8:30sandstorm it was just like the8:31sandstorms back in big spring and it8:34hurt it would sting your legs when you8:36would walk in it would sting your face8:38it was horrible8:40and i don't know how how long i i8:43felt i was there seems like i was there8:45long enough to have a pretty good8:47conversation with her and then8:50at one point she told me she loved me8:52again and she said you need to go now8:56because sandy will be here in a minute8:59sandy was my aunt and my grandmother was9:02at that time staying with my aunt9:07while she was sick9:09and the next thing i knew my mother was9:12tapping me on the shoulder telling me9:14that she had died and my answer to her9:16was i i know9:20i was telling this to my therapist and9:24we9:25or he asked me a question he said terry9:27how long did it take you9:29to really come to terms with the death9:31of your grandmother you speak about her9:33a lot9:36you you let me know she was really your9:38only9:39trusted caregiver besides your your9:42other aunts9:44how long did it take you to process her9:46death9:48and i sat back because that was a9:50question9:52i've thought of before9:54i know for about five or six years i9:57didn't think about it it was actually9:58seven years after she died and went to10:00the cemetery and i just fell apart10:03in the cemetery10:04on her grave and i spent the entire day10:07there10:09but i would10:12i told him something that i hadn't10:13really thought of before and that was10:17that i pretended that she wasn't dead10:20here i am almost 16 years old and i'm10:22saying10:24to myself you know logically i knew my10:26grandmother was dead i was at the10:28funeral i saw the whole thing i was10:29there i knew it but in my heart of10:32hearts10:35i10:36would tell myself she was going to10:38another country to get treatment10:41she was going to get well and she was10:43going to come back for me she wasn't10:45going to leave me10:47in this situation that i was in she was10:49going to surprise us all she was going10:51to come back her hair was going to be10:53back it was raven black10:56she was gorgeous10:59and she was going to be healthy and11:01whole and everything would be just like11:03it was when she was there11:06or at the times when i was with her11:09and i he said really you11:12you had this fantasy it was like yeah it11:14was really you know i thought about it a11:16lot i thought about it it seems like11:18almost every day11:20you know is she gonna come back today is11:22she gonna be11:23here today i wonder what country she's11:25in today i wonder what treatment she's11:27trying today11:28so i was really11:30trying to convince myself i guess that11:32my grandmother had not died11:36and11:37then he asked me if i had11:40ever had11:43any other11:45um similar situation11:48and i thought for a second i looked at11:51him11:52virtually11:54and said yeah11:56when i was a little girl11:59i had a pretend family12:02and i knew they were a pretend family it12:04wasn't like i was telling myself my12:07grandmother was coming12:08home but i kind of created my own family12:12where i was safe i had even a nanny12:16and her main job12:19was to make sure that no one12:22hurt me my mom and dad in that fantasy12:25world had hired her12:28basically for my protection and you know12:31when i look back at it now i almost12:33wonder if12:35it was my grandmother that i had in that12:37role12:39but i did i had this pretend12:43fantasy family12:45it was perfect i would do things with my12:47mom we would go places we would have12:50fun she would cook which she didn't cook12:54and she was teaching me these things12:58and my dad was always really my real dad13:01but he was home13:03he was always home he wasn't flying he13:06wasn't with other clients he was home13:09like the rest of the dads were13:11but i had a different mom and i had this13:14nanny and so we sort of talked through13:16that and that brought up this huge rush13:19of emotion13:20in just how abandoned i felt as a child13:26you know my parents made sure i had13:28everything i needed13:30and i know when i was little13:33and my dad was going to school and he13:35was doing these things my mother stayed13:37home with us13:38i know that my grandmother did pay for a13:41lot of things she paid for my dance13:43lesson she paid for my christmas present13:45she bought me clothes13:47she paid for a lot of things and13:50as my dad's career took off13:54they they did make sure that we had the13:56necessities that we needed but nothing13:59else14:02at least my mom my dad was gone mom came14:05home she'd go to bed she would close the14:07door she would lock us out14:09but in my pretend family that didn't14:12happen and you know14:14at the time that my mother went back to14:15work i was probably 12 years old maybe14:1913 years old14:21heck i could have been older than that14:23but i still had this pretend family14:25where i was protected and i would14:28retreat into that family14:32i wouldn't be hurt14:34i wouldn't be trying to get my mother's14:35attention that i was really there14:38we wouldn't get into fist fights14:41i mean my mother and i and i had some14:43very physical altercations when i was14:47young14:48and14:50i really don't know why i know14:53a lot of them i14:57had said something14:59about wanting to be with my aunt or15:02wanting to be with my grandmother or15:04when i was going to see them and i think15:06that set her off i think it provoked her15:10and15:12now looking back on it you know at 60 or15:1560 years old and seeing the trauma that15:17my mother had gone through15:20not having her mother there and then her15:23daughter is crying out for her sister15:26and her mother and not her15:28i think that15:30really15:32put more of a divide in there15:35and i take blame for that and i really15:37shouldn't15:38because i was young and those were the15:40only people that had protected me and if15:43i cried out for them15:46and was beaten like i was15:49or i wouldn't be spoken to15:52or i would have to stay in my room for15:54however many weeks it was15:57you know the only safe place to be was15:59in a fantasy world16:02and i think that i kept that fantasy16:04world up for quite some time16:07you know i know16:08until my16:10into my adulthood16:12on the outside i could be somebody16:14completely different16:16i was16:16i appeared confident and self-assured16:20but i wasn't i was scared i was scared i16:23was gonna lose something i was afraid16:26that i was gonna die in a car accident16:32i was afraid i had all of these fears16:37within me16:38but i was putting on this brave face16:41this different face16:44so no one could see how horrible i was16:47that my mother didn't love me the way16:50she loved my brothers16:52and16:54that i wasn't16:55so horrible that my dad chose a16:57profession16:59that would take him away from me all the17:01time17:03and i know that's not what happened i17:05know that's not why my dad decided to17:07become a pilot17:09he loved flying17:13but flying was really the other woman in17:16his life or was the woman in his life17:20flying took him away from my mother took17:22him away from us and my dad and i had17:25always been very close17:30as close as we could be i guess17:33it's really weird i just said that17:35and then i realized but wait a minute17:37terry your dad never hugged you your dad17:39never told you he loved you17:42but he showed me in ways he bought me17:44toys he made toys for us17:48he did things that he would interact17:51with us my mother would never17:53never do that17:56so17:56that's the way i knew my dad loved me18:00and what's really weird is i don't ever18:02really remember being hit by by my dad i18:04do by my mother and i know my brothers18:07were hit by my father because i18:09witnessed it and it scared me to death18:12to think that that could come toward me18:15and i always tried to be really good18:17when my dad was home because i didn't18:20want what i saw my brothers18:22get18:25but at the same time my gosh being so18:28lost18:29and18:31not realizing a lot of this until i was18:34about 58 years old is when i felt safe18:36enough to start letting this come out18:40that says a lot18:41that says how much damage and how much18:44fear was there18:47and to think of everything that i've18:49lost18:51because i imploded18:55in 2008 when my dad died or he died in18:582007 my mother in 2006 2008 i fell apart19:03and i think i've told you that's because19:04i thought it was safe to do so then19:08and19:10i really19:13went to rock bottom19:16i had to rebuild every part of myself19:20and i don't think it was until the last19:22two years19:24you know 2020 2019 2020 that i really19:28made a lot of19:32connections19:34and realized19:36i wasn't the bad kid19:38my aunts were telling me i was a19:40delightful child my grandmother loved me19:44my dad started talking to me a whole lot19:46more after he died19:49about how important it was to let your19:51kids know they you loved them19:54and he you know he still he

Are you constantly wondering what the hell is wrong with me? Why don’t I trust people? Why do the same things keep happening over and over again? Is there something wrong with me? Why don’t I ever feel like I’m enough? HOW DO I CHANGE MY LIFE?!
Then it’s Ime to grab your coffee, or wine, or whatever you need and curl up on the couch with these real and inspiring conversaIons with Teri Anderson of Digging Through Dominoes. Don’t be surprised if you see glimpses of yourself as Teri shares her very real (someImes hard to believe) stories. From childhood neglect to abusive relaIonships, she’s seen her fair share of hardships and KNOWS the feelings of unworthiness, hopelessness and despair.
But she fought her way through to where she is today – fighIng the good fight to live a good life, learning about herself and how to love herself. More importantly, she wants to share that hope and opImism that she’s gained through enduring the hardest of Imes.
In a world where depression and anxiety are growing, and PTSD is finally being recognized, we all need a safe place to go and be heard and understood.
Digging through Dominoes is that place. It’s the place to be if you’ve experienced any sort of mental, physical or emotional trauma. It’s a safe haven that welcomes you in, but isn’t afraid to talk about what hurts the most.
The stories may be hard but they are REAL and there is hope at the end of the day!
Teri’s mission is to let you know that you’re safe, you’re definitely not alone, and to never give up because there is always hope!
