"You're not behind. You're just in between, in between the person you were and the one you're still becoming."
Ever wondered what it takes to feel like you're not behind in life? Dr. Christopher Fasano, the host of The Better Mental Health Show, tackles this common anxiety in episode 133, "You’re Not Behind." Dr. Fasano, a developmental neuroscientist, uses his expertise to reassure listeners that feeling 'behind' is simply part of life's construction phase. He breaks down the myths of timelines, productivity, and comparison that often make us feel inadequate.
By using neuroscience and practical strategies, he explains how the brain's wiring can trick us into feeling stuck, when in reality, we're just in the midst of growth. Dr. Fasano highlights the concept of 'liminal space,' the uncomfortable middle ground between who we were and who we're becoming. He emphasises that this stage is crucial for development, even if it feels messy and uncertain.
Through light-hearted anecdotes and scientific insights, he encourages listeners to redefine progress, trust the pause, and honour the unseen work that happens during these phases. With engaging narratives and a dash of humour, Dr. Fasano offers actionable advice to help listeners stop comparing themselves to others and embrace their unique journey. Whether you're feeling stuck or just need a reminder that you're right where you need to be, this episode provides a comforting perspective on personal growth.
