HB Ep. 50: I’m Always OK

This week, Youngmi Mayer discusses an emotional symptom of experiencing negligent abuse as a child. She talks about why she feels the need to always be “ok” and how that has profoundly harmed her. She discusses the importance of pointing out negligent abuse, because for most people experiencing trauma around it, it is invisible. She also points out that many of the behaviors of our parents and the boomer generation mirror hers, and are most likely caused by the same sort of neglect.
