118. Sarah #33: Courage is Fear Walking

Your Mental Breakdown
About this episode

We're back! Doug is joined by Kenzie on the breakdown and they pick up right where Sarah left off in her therapy sessions. Sarah has been listening to podcasts featuring other people's experiences in cults, which gets her intellectualizing how growing up in a cult still affects issues of power and control in her life now. Doug helps Sarah get into the emotion by putting the focus on "her" own personal story and subjective relationship with "her" parents in the cult, rather than looking objectively at "one's" experience and "one's" parents. Doug tells Sarah a story about working with a teenager to highlight how someone can access their deeper feelings by allowing anger to come out first rather than suppressing it with restraint or punishment.  Sarah is motivated to let anger come up and come out to get to the real feelings that she's compartmentalized.
