Episode 51

Welcome to the Healing Pod!

Sorry for the skipped episode drop! I was going to rush and put it out later that week and then I realized no…just take a breath and get back to it. And here we are!

This week we’re talking about building some compassion for the version of ourselves that stayed in bad situations too long. Be it a toxic work environment, that relationship we just can’t seem to step away from, the habits that do nothing for our actual health, whatever it is that we know we “should” step back from but just can’t let ourselves yet.

There’s comfort in familiarity, shame and anger at ourselves for staying when we know it’s not healthy, legitimate barriers in our way…so many things that we have to navigate not only to break ourselves free but also to create the capacity to grow and change and not just fall back into another trap.

The Stanford Prison Experiment wasn’t as fantastical as papers like to write it up to be, but it did show a lot of adapting to environments and expectations.
