I'm new to Caroline & this is really great but high density info - since my big BP1 high in 2015 I have felt so fragmented - gradually gradually slowly improving, so hard to describe. Hmmm, also so many previous Highs left long term mental disarrangement as well & long depressions left similar but different brain changes.
In some ways this level of normal, everyday self help psychology feels like going to a gym when you've been in a wheel chair for 30 yrs, that's a good description, I could barely cognitise a paragraph of information without feeling overwhelmed & lost, so being capable of coming back to self-help psychology is great sign of healing.
I certainly do feel that my rather extreme experience of neglect of 2 very serious mental health conditions has resulted in low self esteem & a severe lack of self confidence. I loved her 'sense of self is not a noun its a creative process' thing - that's really helpful. I've spent so much time feeling decimated & without resources to understand what's going on.
Here's another of her podcasts I quite enjoyed. I don't know why the size has gone weird compared to the other one - there, that's my perfectionism showing..... blogger is a internet island with mysterious rules & unpredictable outcomes
Here is her 'about me' for her Neurocycle App - what a great lady!
