When the Label becomes the Cage

Notes from the Edge

What happens when a diagnosis, label, role, or identity becomes the lens through which you see your entire life?

In this episode, Lisa explores the hidden cost of attaching ourselves to labels and why many of the things we call personality may have begun as survival adaptations.

The question isn’t whether a label is accurate.

The question is whether it still serves you.
