The Fear Of Being Seen & Our Favorite Things

Interviews, Books, Recipes And Memes To Make Your Day Better

Hey again! If you missed it, earlier this week I released a wonderful interview with Dr. Deniz Ahmadinia in which we discuss the fear of being seen, setting boundaries with people we love, and why it can be so tough to be the cycle breaker in your family.

Later this week we’ll be hosting two live workshops with therapist Nicole Johnson discussing The Mother Wound and Dealing With Personality Disorders. You can attend both Workshops free by taking advantage of 30-day trial membership.

Healthy Recipe

A big part of good mental health is good physical health, and a big part of that is good nutritional health. That’s why inside our community we host a Whole Healing forum where people share ideas related to healthy eating and exercise, including this recipe from Academy co-founder Michelle for an amazing gluten-free banana loaf that tastes just like the real thing! Try it out and let us know what you think.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Banana Loaf (healthy modifications: plain almond yogurt for oil, 1 scoop protein powder for 1/4 rice flour, only 2 bananas, only a sprinkle of chocolate chips)
