Your Mental Breakdown

108. Sarah #27: Willful Blindness


Listen Later

Sarah explores how impactful it was to not have someone that at least tried to protect her as a child growing up in a cult. Doug reinforces the concept that she's now re-parenting herself when she uncovers old wounds and tends to them. Sarah also protects herself by gathering data, like with her upcoming eye surgery. As a protective measure, data collection helps Sarah feel more in control. It's neither good nor bad; it's just giving herself familiarity with something unknown to reduce feeling anxious, powerless, and not in control.
