In this episode, AJ breaks down the “I’m working on myself” trap when personal growth becomes a socially acceptable way to avoid change. This isn’t about laziness or lack of effort.

    #8 Personality Disorders Aren’t Who You Are: When Protection Becomes Identity

    When people hear “personality disorder,” they often hear an identity something permanent and unchangeable. In this episode, AJ reframes personality disorders as learned protection patterns shaped by a brain designed to avoid pain, not define who you are. If you’ve ever felt trapped by a label or stuck in the same emotional loops, this conversation offers a clearer, more human map forward focused on living better, not fixing yourself.

    #4 Medications Aren't Enough: The Importance of Embracing Your Feelings

    We challenge the belief that medication alone can resolve mental health issues. Sharing a personal story from over a decade ago, we explore how antidepressants may stabilize emotions but can also numb both negative and positive feelings, leading to a loss of life’s meaning. AJ introduces the 'alignment model,' a framework emphasizing the balance between internal thoughts and external reality. They advocate for facing internal struggles not by suppressing them with medication but by understanding and learning from them to achieve true behavioral change and meaningful living.
