“Trauma is the root of the discomfort and the issues that we're having in general in our adult life. It's just that with mental illness, we're looking at this very specific grouping of behaviors, which makes functional behavior quite difficult.“ — Teal Swan

Today, Kelly engages in a deep conversation with Teal Swan about redefining the concept of mental illness. They discuss the conventional views on mental health and the limitations of labeling and treating psychological distress through the medical model. They both advocate for a more holistic understanding, suggesting that what is often labeled as mental illness is, in reality, a natural response to unresolved trauma and adverse life experiences. Their conversation highlights the importance of personal empowerment and understanding the underlying causes of mental distress as crucial steps towards healing.
