EP187: The Medicalization of Personality - Part 1
Description
You may think your personality is who you are… but what if it’s something different?
In Part 1 of this 3-Part series, Christina breaks down the concept of personality from its origins in ancient frameworks to how it became something medicalized in modern society — revealing that the more disconnected you are from your TRUE SELF, the easier you are to predict, control, and monetize.
But sadly, most people don’t even realize it’s happening.
Christina shares her personal experience with emotional processing, communication, and perception, including the tool that completely shifted how she understood her own patterns, and even reality.
She also breaks down how you can start using that same tool to understand yourself, and others in a way you never have before.
If you haven't listened to Beyond the Body episodes 183, 184, and 186 yet — start there. Understanding how YOU’VE been trained to reinforce the patterns you call “your personality” hits differently when you already understand why you became who you think you are. 🤯
