Manage episode 383820938 series 3524642
Joining us on today's episode is Emily, also known by her pen name, Amelia May.
Emily's journey is one of profound transformation. As a seasoned teacher and the author of "A Broken Society," she shares her personal triumph over mental health diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and pharmaceutically induced disassociation that drove her to suicidal ideation.
Emily's story delves into childhood experiences of perceived abandonment following her parents divorce, and a lifelong pattern of codependency and failed relationships until her breaking point.
Through a path of self-discovery and healing, Emily unearthed a deeper truth—the dis-ease beneath her disorder, rooted in a lack of self-acceptance and connection. She shares the modalities that helped her find her way back to herself and ultimately led her to come off medications and regulate her emotions naturally.
This powerful conversation delves into the broken systems underlying society and the potential for personal growth through pain. Emily's story is a testament to the transformative power of self-awareness, and embracing the shadows as catalysts for growth and change.
