Stronger Minds
142. Black Sheep - The Identified Patient
Have you ever felt like you were the problem in your family?
Like no matter how hard you tried, no matter how consistently you showed up with your best effort, you were always the one in crisis? The one who “acted out”? The one who got blamed for why things were falling apart?
If that resonates with you, if that sounds familiar in your bones, the first thing I want to say is: I am so sorry. It’s such as a confusing, painful and often lonely place to be. And you’re not alone. But, more importantly, what if I told you… it might not be true? That story you’ve been told, or maybe the one you’ve carried quietly for years; the idea that you were the difficult one, the broken one, the one who couldn’t get it right - what if that story isn’t actually yours? And it never was?
Coming up in this week’s episode of the Stronger Minds Podcast – the plight of the Identified Patient.
