If I Get Better, Will People Still Care About Me?


Listen Later

Back in the days of chronic pain and taking pain medication on the daily after brain surgery, I got a lot of sympathy from people. My family and friends would often ask me how I'm doing, what can they do for me, and if I was okay. The frustrating part was that they couldn't do much, but it was nice to know they cared.

After hitting rockbottom and wanting out, I met my Professor of Neurology who gave me an alternative approach (listen here to the podcast I did with him) which eventually led to being pain free, happy and reclaiming myself.

But during that process from pain to freedom, there was a deep fear of getting better, followed by thoughts like, "no one will care about you, no one will ask you how are you, no one will offer their time". I began to notice a pattern across my life, that part of me was conditioned to get love from being unwell or something being wrong.

In today's episode I share how I let go of the belief that held me in the identity of a suffering victim and what was waiting for me as a result.
