Was recommended to me that I check out the holiday re-cast after I put out a similar episode about dealing with family during the holidays on my podcast. You guys nailed it. Excellent tips and tricks to put to use here. You’ve got yourself a subscriber! - Dan from 41 and Done Podcast
Listening to the first episode the story about the mom being irritated by the chronically ill friend… I was like ARE YOU TELLING ON MY MOM? I needed this so bad. Can’t wait to learn more about how to heal and do better.
Welcome to our Nightmare episode resonated SO HARD! Finally, I can hear about other people being triggered to dissociate/depersonalize. I’ve done loads of therapy. But I still felt so alone when trying to explain these pre-panic attack moments where I would have psychotic/delusional thinking. You know, you can’t talk about this sort of thing, because people will think you’re crazy and possibly dangerous.
I love listening to you both. Your personal/professional knowledge, insight, honesty and vulnerability (as well as strength!) is so refreshing. Incredibly validating for anyone who had a narcissistic parent. I have laughed and cried listening. Thank you so much. Podcast medicine I didn’t know I needed, you feel seen and hugged at the same time.
Excellent theme and content. I respect your perspectives and lived experiences. My mother will roll in her grave or churn in her urn that we finally have her figured out, but she’s not dead yet.
