Thanks Loyal Listeners and I have changed the name of the podcast to spread the word of my journey as an alienated parent. ('The Brain Scrub' was the former name) I find its so helpful to share stories, ideas, and more with others going through this about how we cope, so we don't feel as alone. The show content is still beneficial for anyone who is trying to optimize their mental and physical health.
Thanks for listening!

Living into our beliefs

In this episode, I am not talking about limiting beliefs like "I am not good enough", I am taking it to a level deeper. You are about to find out how to get conscious about the unconscious. Fast forward after this episode was published - I think I am living into "I am worthy of being rejected".

Stories change lives. Silence changes nothing. I hope that I amongst the thousands of others out there sharing their story, will make a difference in how Family Courts manage and reunify families at risk. Too many suffer the consequences of inaction. The abuse of children must stop. Here are some amazing advocates on parental alienation:https://www.youtube.com/@kennyweiss

I learned the hard way and I hope you don't. My trial and error led to more error and more trial. I don't feel any further ahead other than in my journey of love, self discovery and self actualization. Desperate times don't always call for desperate measure when you are dealing with a force that you can't win against.

In this episode I talk about an aha moment I had based on a conversation I had with a dear friend. It is amazing what friends can teach you...things we may not be willing or open to see. Need some advice - ask a friend.

The impact of Borderline Personality Disorder on others

In this episode I share an experience where I was negatively impacted by someone who I believe is borderline. I hope you learn how to identify and protect yourself from these individuals as they are just being themselves and quite often, don't realized that what they are doing is wrong. They are just being themselves.

High conflict people mixed with a personality disorder

In all conflict, one thing to remember, most people are just doing what they believe they need to do; however, when dealing with those 10% who are high conflict and may have a personality disorder, things are very different and reasonable behaviours may not work. I discuss a bit about Bill Eddy's work and mix in some information I have learned from other podcasts as it relates to divorce and custody issues.

I am starting my journey on learning how social norms may not be 'normal' for all. This is the first of a series of podcasts that will shed light on how the 'typical' is truly, not so typical.

Ozzy Osbourne's song, Crazy Train, is a reminder to me of how when we don't seek to understand, we may go off the rails on a crazy train. This episode is based on a book titled 'How to know a person', by David Brooks. It is a great reminder of the importance of building relationships through listening, seeking to understand and putting our judgements aside. We are all human and in his book, he shares some great advice on how to build deeper connection.
