  • 172. Surviving "Peter Pan & Wendy" Syndrome

    50:33
    Lauren is a licensed mental health therapist in the state of Virginia. I have been practicing in a variety of settings since 2017 to include public schools, acute inpatient hospitals, and outpatient. I am passionate about implementing these experiences to include expressive arts and storytelling as a form of healing. This year I experienced a major heartbreak from a man I who I thought was the love of my life. While I had to begin my spiritual/healing journey and the re-discovering of myself after this event, I had some professional as well as personal revelations which has motivated me to tell this story to help others. I discovered a concept that was first coined in the 1980s by Dr. Dan Kiley called Peter Pan and Wendy’s Syndrome. While these aren’t official terms and diagnoses in the DSM-V, I couldn’t help but find that these pop culture psychology terms are very relevant in today’s society.Here are the talking points that we’ve covered:The phenomenon of “Peter Pan Syndrome” in relationships and its impact on the dynamics between partners.Personal experiences of being in a relationship with someone exhibiting “Peter Pan Syndrome.”The struggle with commitment and the desire to be chosen in relationships influenced by societal and cultural narratives.The challenges of supporting a partner’s interests while maintaining mutual respect and growth.The stereotype of “Wendy” as a controlling figure and the need to balance fun with responsibility.The journey of self love, including the empowerment of enjoying one’s own company and the risks of codependency.The concept of “no contact” as a healing tool from narcissistic or emotionally immature relationships, including the complexities of forgiveness.The importance of setting boundaries for self care, avoiding overextending oneself and reconnecting with personal interests post breakup.Connect with Lauren:Website: https://laurenwicktherapist.blogspot.com Instagram: lauren_wickywickyConnect with Heidi BeeWebsite: DivorceComebackCoach.com Instagram:@DivorceComebackCoach TikTok: @YourDivorcePlanner (moving to @DivorceComeback Coach in 2024)Linktree: https://linktr.ee/divorcecomebackcoachEmail: DivorceComebackCoach@gmail.com Apple PodcastSpotifyAmazonGoogleAndroid

You might be in a season that you don’t either. Being single is not always easy, but neither is marriage. Just like anything in life though, how you view something is always a choice. Although being single might feel lonely at times, it is not who you are. You are more than your relationship status. Part 3 in Unlocking Love is about the journey in discovering the many gifts singleness can bring to our lives that many don’t get the chance to experience!Connect with Heidi BeeWebsite: DivorceComebackCoach.comInstagram:@DivorceComebackCoachTikTok: @YourDivorcePlanner (moving to @DivorceComeback Coach in 2024)Linktree: Heidi Bee | Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | LinktreeEmail: DivorceComebackCoach@gmail.com Apple PodcastSpotifyAmazonGoogleAndroid
