Are you struggling with chronic feelings of self-hatred and toxic shame? If so, you're not alone. People who identify with symptoms of various mental health disorder labels such as BPD, EUPD, cPTSD, ADHD, ASD, and more, often face these challenges due to their struggles with black-and-white thinking and extreme emotional reactions.


In this episode, we explore effective resources and techniques to help release you from the judgmental prison you've created inside your own mind. We delve into topics such as coping with shame and self-hatred, dealing with low self-esteem, negative self-talk, and how chronic thoughts of self-hatred impact relationships for those who struggle with emotional dysregulation.


We also explore Carl Jung's work and his concept of "the shadow," and how shadow work can help people with BPD develop a deeper sense of self-compassion. Furthermore, we discuss the importance of not suppressing your emotions and the power of working with your inner critic to help with splitting episodes.


Join me for an informative and insightful episode that will equip you with the tools to break free from the cycle of self-hatred and toxic shame.
