E111: The Link Between Mental Health and Physical "Dis-ease" Guest : Antoinette McInnes

20 Oct 2024

Description

In this powerful episode, we dive into the incredible story of Antoinette McInnes, a survivor of cancer and a highly functional BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), who shares her transformative journey of healing mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2017, Antoinette began the tough process of facing her deep-seated trauma and toxic coping mechanisms that, unknown to her, had fueled both her illness and her outwardly "successful" life.For years, she lived as what she calls a "highly functional dysfunctional" – with a successful business, degrees, travel, and material achievements – but inside, she was trapped in fear, depression, and self-hatred. Her story reveals the shocking truth of how mental health struggles can hide behind the facade of a perfect life, and how unaddressed trauma can have devastating physical consequences, including autoimmune diseases and cancer.Through self-awareness, shadow work, and deep emotional excavation, Antoinette gained mastery over her mind and emotions, helping her not only recover from cancer but also lead a fulfilling, healthy life today. In this episode, she discusses:The missing link in healing – How mental health problems often masquerade as success, and the true connection between emotional suffering and physical illness.Coping mechanisms vs. coping strategies – Her journey from overachievement, people-pleasing, and emotional bypassing to true healing.Spiritual and self-help bypassing – The dangers of using spirituality and self-help to avoid addressing deep trauma, and how it contributed to her decline.The REAL link between mental and physical health – Why it's crucial to bring mental health issues, especially BPD, out of the shadows and break the stigma attached to them.As part of her mission to help others on their healing journeys, Antoinette will also be hosting the F.E.A.R.
