"Embracing the Nothingness with Lauren Wickline"
Hello friend! Welcome back to the podcast! I have a real treat for you this week with the incredible Lauren Wickline. I met Lauren through our mutual podcasting facebook group.
Lauren and I dive into topics of relationships, heartbreak, learning the importance of being able to say "no", gratitude, balance, loneliness, people-pleasing, red flags in relationships, anxious attachment to people in our lives (particularly with partners), and ultimately embracing the nothingness. I was so interested to learn in the "Peter Pan and Wendy Syndrome" that Lauren dives into on this episode. I believe that you will come away with some wonderful nuggets, as always, to put into your tool kit as you navigate this life!
Lauren is a licensed mental health therapist in the state of Virginia. She has been practicing in a variety of settings since 2017 to include public schools, acute inpatient hospitals, and outpatient. She has always been passionate about the performing arts to include, singing, theater, and Irish dance. She is passionate about implementing these experiences to include expressive arts, metaphor, and storytelling in all settings as a form of healing. This past April, Lauren experienced a major heartbreak from a man she thought was the love of her life. While she had to begin her spiritual/healing journey and the re-discovering of herself after this event, she had some professional as well as personal revelations which has motivated her to tell her story in order to help others. She discovered a concept that was first coined in the 1980s by Dr. Dan Kiley called Peter Pan and Wendy’s Syndrome. While these aren’t official terms and diagnoses in the DSM-V, Lauren couldn’t help but find that these pop culture psychology terms are very relevant in today’s society. She hopes to use her story to help and educate others about the damages caused by emotionally unavailable, narcissistic, people as well as ways to move past the “Wendy’s Syndrome” which includes anxious attachment, people pleasing, and codependent tendencies. As a recovering anxiously attached people pleaser herself, Lauren hopes her story helps others see their worth and brings to light ways to avoid being caught in a Peter Pan and Wendy Syndrome dynamic in their relationships.
