DISCLAIMER: This podcast is not a substitute for professional mental health and/or medical help. Everything shared here is from my lived experience as someone previously diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Depression, and Complex Trauma (CPTSD). This podcast may contain triggering themes related to childhood trauma and abuse.
In this episode I touch on why I’ve removed myself completely from “polite culture” and why I feel it’s detrimental for our healing journey long-term. I go into the difference between being “polite” and being a sincerely kind and caring person and how sometimes being the best version of yourself actually requires you to challenge yourself and others. I dive into ways I’m learning to channel my catalyst and disruptive energy for personal growth and healing and why I think we should learn to lean into these parts of ourselves (in healthy not harmful ways of course).
I talk a lot about how culturally we’ve become too accustomed to group think and do not have tolerance for those who challenge our thoughts and beliefs. I also talk about why it is important to learn to work through our triggers (once our nervous systems are regulated enough of course) rather than avoiding them and risk projecting our fears into our relationships. If this episode resonates I hope you subscribe and connect with me on social media.
Be well!
