    Something Different | It’s Not Normal | Ep. 50

    In this week’s episode, and with your help, I’m challenging myself to talk about parts of my life that are relatively unrelated to my trauma. Since sharing my experience with emotionally immature parents on social media, I have created an invisible box and put myself in it. From following dreams and finding a work-life balance to vanlife and tattoos, we’re covering it all.  0:00 Episode 50!! 4:55 A Plan For Life 16:49 Woodworking 25:40 Vanlife 33:03 What Drives Me 37:53 Sports 42:46 Tattoos 44:21 Clothes 49:30 Final Thoughts  Dwell (Camper Reno): https://www.dwell.com/article/budget-breakdown-renovated-sun-valley-road-runner-trailer-path-design-e1fe2e8f Insider: https://www.businessinsider.com/couple-spent-ten-thousand-renovating-trailer-camper-2023-4 Life Lessons From a 7,000 Bike Ride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUTL4Op56CM

    Breadcrumbs, Healing Fantasies and Role-Selves | It’s Not Normal | Ep. 49

    Have you ever found yourself being strung along by a parent, partner or friend? Intermittent reinforcement is a powerful tool that can shape not only our personality, but also our perception of the present and our beliefs for the future. In this week’s episode, we talk about breadcrumbing as a behavior in a parent-child relationship and how it fuels the development of healing fantasies and role-selves.  0:00 Breadcrumbs Create A Power Dynamic 6:58 Future Faking and Empty Promises 11:22 Healing Fantasies 17:21 Becoming Someone Else 20:13 Developing A Role-Self
