A lot of people have large gaps in their memories. But I think most important is that- and I didn't know this when I was first starting out in my career. And so when people are in the very beginning stages of awareness and they are wondering: should I start to go down this road, you really should be talking with a trauma specialist, because there's a chance you could actually hurt yourself by diving into even just the first layer of memories and you could trigger a massive dissociative Ptsd, depressive anxious reaction that could harm you.
How do repressed memories shape our mental health? In this eye-opening episode of 'Adult Child', Andrea sits down with Dr. Kirk Honda, a seasoned psychotherapist and host of the 'Psychology in Seattle' podcast. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Honda dives into the intricate world of repressed traumatic memories and the differences between CPTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder).
They also touch on the concept of 'pro-dependency', a fresh take that challenges the traditional views on codependency by emphasizing the importance of healthy attachment in recovery. But that's not all. Dr. Honda and Andrea explore how social media is influencing mental health awareness, including the rising number of people self-diagnosing with conditions like dissociative identity disorder. They even discuss the high-profile Depp v. Heard case, examining its impact on public perceptions of mental health. Throughout the episode, Dr.
Honda offers practical advice and insights for anyone grappling with trauma and its aftermath. His expertise, combined with Andrea's empathetic interviewing style, makes for a conversation that's both informative and engaging. Whether you're dealing with your own mental health challenges or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable perspectives to help you navigate the complexities of trauma recovery. Tune in for a discussion that demystifies mental health myths and offers a compassionate look at the path to healing.
