Скачать или смотреть The Freeze Response, Gifted Kid Syndrome, and BPD: July Mailbag

‪@RickHanson‬ and I answer listener questions about perfectionism, performance anxiety, trauma, and relationships. We explore how early praise for being “gifted” can create a fear of failure and contribute to “failure to launch,” and share ways to shift from focusing on an idealized future to appreciating your actual self right now. We discuss learned helplessness, the freeze response, and practical ways to build agency and vitality to counter feelings of powerlessness. Other topics include the differences between borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder, overcoming performance anxiety, and how to decide which friendships are worth investing in.
