On Your Mind Podcast
A Conversation with Timothy J. Hayes, PsyD
It was such an honor to spend time talking with Dr. Hayes about my family history and my memoir.
Awakening to and accepting that my relationship to my entire adult world was shaped by my earliest experiences floored me. It also enflamed in me a level of compassion for myself, my family, and my parents that I hadn’t believed was possible. It didn’t start with us. It didn’t start with them either. I wasn’t broken and I didn’t need to be fixed. I had to unlearn patterns that never served my best interest and replace them with healthier ones.
I didn’t do it alone, and you don’t have to either. We all have mental health, so let’s talk about it.
One of the most terrifying things that can happen to a parent is for their child to have a crisis. The feelings of powerlessness are overwhelming. Ultimately, the only person we can control is ourselves. Understanding self-care as a practice of service to self and other is key to our own physical and mental health and well-being, especially when times get tough.
