Symptoms to Skills

from My Therapist Said · host Stefanie Kral

Stef dives into the power of perspective when it comes to mental health symptoms. She reflects on her time working with incarcerated men and how her favorite part of the job was helping them recognize their transferable skills—because let’s be honest, drug dealing is just entrepreneurial hustle with a whole lot of grit. Stef unpacks how the traits we often pathologize—hypervigilance, impulsivity, even anxiety—can actually be reframed as strengths when we shift our mindset. Your experience shaped you. Do you see symptoms or a very unique skillset? The choice is yours!
