435 SelfWork: When "Home" Was Chaos
How are you supposed to live a normal life when "home" was chaos? That's the topic of today's SelfWork. and it's triggered by a very frank email from a listener whose kept his chaos secret for many years.
We can tend to keep secret the fact that home was chaos ��� you can fear being judged for it, even though you didn���t cause it. Please heed a trigger warning; the story is hard to hear. And if there was significant trauma in your own childhood, then please listen carefully.
You'll also listen to a voicemail that was sent to me years ago now but a woman who���d tried to talk with her therapist about her identifying with perfectly hidden depression. And her therapist argued with her ��� saying there was no way she fit criteria for depression. It���s a stunning problem to have��� when your therapist���s lens doesn���t allow them to see what you���re trying to say to them. And it���s a special problem with perfectly hidden depression.
