The Basic Needs Cycle Breakers Often Ignore (And How This Wrecks Your Mental Health)
In this episode, we’re going back to the basics and talking about why things like staying hydrated, eating enough, sleeping, and moving your body matter far more for your mental health than most people realize. We cover: • Why cycle breakers often disconnect from their own needs • How dysfunctional family dynamics train you to ignore your basic needs • The mental health impact of dehydration, hunger, and exhaustion • Why boundaries are often required just to take care of yourself • Simple ways to start prioritizing your basic needs again Sometimes prioritizing your healing means something as simple as drinking enough water. The Cycle Breaker's Vault is Torie's self-guided course for the adult children of parents with borderline and narcissistic traits. It covers dysfunctional family dynamics, boundaries, manipulation, grief, and reconnecting with yourself.
