back from the borderline

I don’t want to talk to your personality; I want to talk to your soul. Imagine if your most painful and debilitating mental health symptoms and self-sabotaging behaviors aren’t evidence of "disorder" or "dysfunction", but adaptive strategies that once kept you safe. My goal is to help you shift from asking ‘What’s wrong with me?’ to ‘What happened to me?’The word ‘borderline’ in this podcast has nothing to do with psychiatric labels. It has everything to do with coming back from the inner

Join me as we explore Systemic Family Constellations, a complex and relatively new therapeutic modality created by German psychologist Bert Hellinger. At the core of Systemic Family Constellations lies a fundamental truth: we are shaped by emotional and spiritual relationships beyond our control, regardless of their nature. Trying to escape the past only deepens unhappiness. Intergenerational trauma, passed down through generations, affects millions today, causing unexplained emotions of sadness,

Has psychiatry lost its way? Some within the profession believe that by not seriously confronting the systemic and societal sources of psychological suffering, Western mental health institutions have become part of the problem rather than the solution. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bruce E. Levine for a conversation about how once radical critiques of psychiatry are now becoming more mainstream. Some of these critiques include treatment outcome failure, the lack of scientific basis for the

Join me over a matcha latte for a discussion about a few of my latest realizations, stemming from my somatic experiencing work. We'll delve into the way suppressed childhood anger might surface as "acting out" behaviors during adolescence. These behaviors can deceive us into thinking that resorting to lies and manipulation is necessary for fulfilling our needs and having our voices heard. Illuminating these shadow aspects of ourselves can lead us to recognize that these self-sabotaging tendencies

I typically refrain from commenting on trending topics, but I found myself unable to resist discussing this particular one. An unusual (to say the least) TikTok trend has emerged, where users live-stream themselves portraying an “NPC”—essentially an automated “non-player character” with pre-written dialogue. This includes uttering nonsensical phrases like “ice cream so good” in response to gifts from their audience. This trend is spreading rapidly and leaving many of us utterly perplexed. NPCs, or

“Daddy issues” have long been romanticized and sensationalized (think Lana Del Rey’s music or the cultural obsession with Vladimir Nabokov’s book-turned-movie “Lolita.”) But what does it really mean to have daddy issues, and how do these issues shape our lives and relationships? Though it is generally used in relation to women, the fact is, anyone who grew up with a dysfunctional father figure can develop daddy issues. The concept of daddy issues refers to the psychological effects of a strained or

Against the advice of her burnt-out teachers, she decided to drop out of school at age 16 with the massive goal of reimagining what education could look like for students of the future.Since then, she has published a book, pursued training in art therapy, empathic communication, psychology,

What we want more than anything is love and connection. Still, often our self-sabotaging behaviors are what keep us from being able to attract and maintain safe and securely attached partners.
