There's Nothing Wrong With You Trailer
Welcome to there's nothing wrong with you. This is a podcast about personal and collective liberation, where we ask powerful questions and have dynamic conversations about what it means to be fully human. If you've often asked yourself the question what's wrong with me, then this podcast is made for you. The name of this podcast is there's nothing wrong with you because it's the foundational principle upon which all of our conversations are based. You're not broken. You don't need to be fixed. You are not bad. You do not need to be perfect. In fact, you need to be imperfect. You need to be fully alive and fully human by accepting this foundational principle as truth. We free ourselves to formulate more useful, powerful questions and explore the conversations that take us on a journey toward meaningful change. Our conversations, aim to challenge, normative beliefs, frameworks, and approaches, and unpack and unlearn, internalize stigma. We're going to explore the boundaries and limitations of self-help and self-improvement in general highlighting where those efforts. Start to shift from helpful to harmful. We'll move beyond blame and shame and learn how to accept and embrace our full humanity and the entire spectrum of our human experiences. You might be wondering whether there's nothing wrong with you actually applies to you specifically. So I'm gonna nip that in the bud right now. The answer is almost certainly yes, it applies to.

It applies to humans who have experienced or are experiencing illness, disease, and trauma. Addiction and, or some type of dysfunction. This principle applies, regardless of whether someone has received a dozen or more diagnoses or has never received a diagnosis of anything. My name is Samantha Cooper.

Usually, my clients have figured out that they are neurodivergent relatively late in life, often well into adulthood. Sometimes they're still figuring it out. Sometimes they were diagnosed during childhood, but didn't receive any support at that time and didn't know how to seek it out.
