TRIGGER WARNINGS: Cluster B disorders and related content, and spirituality.

DISCLAIMER: Rebecca Bardess is a Coach who specialises in helping indiepreneurs and creative people to navigate the storms of life, find their way out of the fog, and reach their destination. She is not a therapist. If the themes in this episode make you think you may need to get a diagnosis, speak to a licensed professional and get into therapy as your first step.

However, if you're already in therapy and your condition is managed, or if you do not meet the criteria, Rebecca's coaching can support your progress alongside pre-existing therapy.

Contains 18+ content and potential triggers.*

Lessons from Brad, A.K.A. SurvivorsPath on X/Twitter (where you can follow him for updates on his journey and training) about how Federal prison taught him the value of honesty and humility.

In this fascinating interview, Brad shares authentically about the flaws that led him to spend 5 years inside Federal prison, the lessons about everything from mindset to relationships to spirituality and philosophy that he gathered while paying the price for his mistakes, and how young men can make different decisions to learn these lessons without doing time.

Also, please note that this podcast is for purposes of information and entertainment. Neither party is a qualified therapist, so any opinions expressed that relate to mental health or psychology are just opinions. If you feel you need help with these issues, please ask a qualified therapist.

Mystery guest speaker (my boyfriend) shares his perspective on the trial between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, in which it has emerged that Heard has both Histrionic Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), from the perspective of someone who has BPD.

N.B. TRIGGER WARNINGS:

Contains discussions about: 

Do you bring trauma to your work, without meaning to do so?

Life since 2020 has been traumatising for everyone, but we all bring our own flavour of trauma coping to every day, regardless of whether it's a Big News Day or a Tuesday. So, let's talk about it.

❤ Therapy: Better Help (free week through this link)

N.B: I am not a therapist (see link above for those). I'm not diagnosing anything. It is your responsibility to find out more about your own mental health, and I am not attempting to treat any condition you may have. This is just a place to start thinking.

TRIGGER WARNING: Episode deals with different trauma responses. If you're not ready to consider trauma you may have experienced, this may not be the podcast for you. 

N.B. This episode discusses BDE, but in a 15+ kinda way, not an 18+ kinda way, so if table legs or eggplants/aubergines give you a fainting spell, skip it. If, however, you live in 2021+ you've seen worse on twitter.

I'm not a therapist. See resources for one of those. This is based on my experience with people with personality disorders, as someone who's coached very many, and dated more than a few. 

TRIGGERS: Personality disorders, relationship and intimacy issues, abuse, self harm, suicidal ideation, trauma responses

If you've struggled with someone close to you having a Cluster B personality disorder (or if you've struggled with traits like these yourself) this theory could help you to understand better what is happening.

TRIGGER WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMERS

I am neither a therapist nor a doctor. This is not a replacement for a qualified therapist. If you need one, these people are great and there are many therapists there who specialise in Cluster B disorders, as well as help with cPTSD etc from abuse by people with these kinds of personalities: 

There are many trigger warnings at the start of this podcast. Listen to them and decide whether or not to continue listening. You are an adult. You can leave any time you get triggered. If you think you may be in danger if you get triggered then do not listen. 

My thoughts on the Gabby Petito case, why it's captured the attention of the public, what it tells us about domestic and narcissistic abuse, how reactive abuse shows up, and what we can learn from it to help heal wounds in society.

TRIGGER WARNING: Discusses the abuse and death of Gabby Petito, its impact on the public, issues involving sexism and racism, and narcissistic and domestic abuse.
