Breaking Cycles Without Breaking Yourself
Manage episode 489163571 series 3589271
Healing isn’t linear—especially when you’re the cycle breaker. In this episode of You’re Not Crazy, I’m pulling back the curtain on what real, sustainable healing looks like when you grew up with emotionally immature, narcissistic, or borderline parents.
I share how becoming a therapist over a decade ago didn’t free me from my dysfunctional patterns—it magnified them. I was the classic parentified child turned overwhelmed helper: running myself into the ground trying to "fix" everything and help everyone.
I talk about how I'm working on breaking toxic cycles right now and all the feelings and thoughts I have around my own healing journey.
