EP 73: From Labels to Healing: How Diagnosis Can Block Recovery

Send us a message!

I challenge the idea that a bipolar diagnosis explains your life and show how labels can block curiosity, fuel victimhood, and fuse to identity. I explore the layered tools that helped me heal: micronutrients, trauma work, mindfulness, and a Mood Cycle Survival Guide.

• diagnosis as observation, not explanation
• relief and fear at first diagnosis
• victimhood mindset and its costs
• when labels become identity
• accountability after harm and repair work
• layered healing: micronutrients, therapy, mindfulness
• the fire alarm versus the fire
• incentives in pharma and training
• switch language from disorder to symptoms
• becoming a detective of symptom sources
• practical tools: sleep, tracking, cues, supplements
• resources: prior episodes, book, Upsiders Tribe
