Before the host speaks with authority on complexities of the origins of personality disorders, she should have done more research. And for her to say that one’s entire personality can be made up of trauma responses is so diminutive and such an insult. We are much more than our trauma complex or otherwise. If I were a potential guest of her show, I would be wary of agreeing to partake lest I be treated rudely if she didn’t agree with what I have to say
I was floored by how rude this woman can be towards some of the guests she invites on her show. She invites them just to argue her point and discount theirs. Whyyy?
I am really not understanding the 5 star reviews at all.
Fascinating. Ruth Culver was superb and on top form here. Honest and so insightful. Listening to this podcast actually comforted my parts and helped guide me into a more Self led state of relaxation and reassurance. Beautiful
Great podcast but I feel the commercials at the beginning is so obnoxious. I’m 11 minutes in and they’re still going!
Your episode on your trauma bond was so healing for me. Your perspective and how you explained it was different from what I’d already heard about trauma bonds, that really hit home. I could feel your vulnerability throughout and I just wanted to say “Me too, girl, me too, you’re not alone”. This is so relevant to my current life and gave me a little calm in all the chaos, knowing I’m not alone in any of this. Thank you for showing up in such a vulnerable way, These types of episode really connec... more
