True mental health is synonymous with freedom, freedom of the soul to be itself, express itself and grow without the need to be, do or have something that it is dependent on.
Have you ever felt trapped by societal expectations or past traumas? In this eye-opening episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', host Ian Sapstein dives deep into the concept of true freedom and its crucial role in mental health. Sapstein, a seasoned life coach specializing in narcissistic abuse, explains that freedom is our natural state, yet as we grow older, we often find ourselves shackled by what others think of us and how we try to fit into the world.
This mental slavery can take many forms, including the captivity of victims' minds within their narcissistic abusers' false world. Sapstein doesn't stop there. He explores other forms of bondage like addictions, past traumas, and societal pressures to succeed and be happy. These external forces pull us away from our true selves, trapping our eternally free spirits in a man-made mental prison.
According to Sapstein, true mental health is synonymous with freedom—the freedom to be oneself, express oneself, and grow without dependency on external validation. He emphasizes the importance of present moment awareness as a pathway to this freedom. When we can't express our eternally free souls, we risk becoming mentally and physically unwell. Sapstein offers practical advice on how to achieve this state of freedom, including being mindful of people, places, and things that trigger us.
These triggers, he notes, are indicators of where we are not free. This episode is packed with valuable insights that challenge you to rethink your understanding of freedom and its impact on your mental well-being. If you've ever felt constrained by the invisible chains of societal expectations or past experiences, this episode is a must-listen. It offers not just a roadmap to mental health but a guide to reclaiming your authentic self.
