<p dir="ltr">Labels like co-dependent, perfectionist, and people-pleaser get used constantly. We’re told we shouldn’t be those things.</p> <p dir="ltr">But for many of us, those labels stem from survival skills we learned in our early lives. And reliance on labels can actually undermine our ability to heal from these behavioral patterns.</p> <p dir="ltr">María-Victoria Albina joins Erica for a discussion of survival skills, authenticity, embodiment, agency, and choicefulness within the systems of white supremacist patriarchy, colonization, and capitalism.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>In this discussion:</strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">How labels like codependent, perfectionist, and people-pleaser undermine healing</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Why problematizing the survival skills many of us learned as children is problematic in itself</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">How white wellness’s emphasis on authenticity diminishes the multi-faceted nature of being human</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">How our nervous systems impact embodiment, agency, and choicefulness </p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Connect with María-Victoria Albina:</strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://victoriaalbina.com/">Website</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/victoriaalbinawellness/">@victoriaalbinawellness</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://pod.link/1454980022">Feminist Wellness Podcast</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://victoriaalbina.com/anchored/">Anchored: Overcoming Codependency</a></p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Resources:</strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1
