On this episode of "Pete vs. Anxiety," host Pete sits down with Dr. Jen, a clinical psychologist, published author and host of the "Psych with a Mic" podcast. They begin by discussing the pervasive issue of anxiety, and Dr. Jen shares her personal journey from a small-town Texas girl to a professional specializing in personality disorders. She offers a unique perspective on borderline personality disorder (BPD), explaining the crucial distinction between it and bipolar disorder. The conversation also explores the challenge of discussing mental health openly, with Dr. Jen drawing an insightful analogy between the brain and other organs to challenge the stigma around seeking help. The episode also delves into the modern struggle with social media addiction, which Dr. Jen refers to as the "dopamine vortex" of platforms like TikTok. She provides practical advice on how to set boundaries, including her "post and ghost" method, to protect your energy and mental well-being. Dr. Jen also shares the inspiration behind her upcoming book, "The Betrayal Breakthrough," which focuses on the difficult but necessary process of giving yourself closure. She and Pete discuss their own experiences with betrayal, emphasizing that healing is a solo pursuit and not dependent on someone else's apology. They also touch on the importance of self-awareness and empathy when dealing with narcissism, with Dr. Jen explaining that a narcissist's actions are often rooted in their own trauma. This powerful episode is a deep dive into the human psyche, offering valuable insights and practical takeaways for anyone on a journey of healing. Jennifer Paweleck-Bellingrodt, Psy.D.
