Adjusting to Personalization: When You Become the Reason for Everything

Have you ever walked into a room and immediately decided something was off — and that you were the reason? That is personalization. It is one of the quietest cognitive distortions there is, and one of the most exhausting — because it puts you at the center of things you were never actually responsible for. In this episode, we are breaking down what personalization really is, where it comes from, how it shows up in your friendships, your creative work, your faith, and your sense of self — and what it actually looks like to start putting it down. We also get into code switching, sexual shame, deconstruction, and what it means to flip the script — from making yourself the reason everything goes wrong, to owning the gifts and purpose that are uniquely yours.Let’s Connect! Website: www.adjustingpod.comSocial Media: @adjustingpod on Instagram | Facebook | Youtube | TikTokApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/adjusting-podcast/id1748188929Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Lyu594jw5luH1rujNcTZZ?si=386a7e7728f5461bAmazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7863b34c-b85c-4f67-8044-10dd08cfb660/adjusting-podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AdjustingPodcastSubstack Channel: https://justingnelson.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chipsGuest/Topic submissions: [email protected]: Adjusting Podcast is NOT a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment.
