In this episode, my guest Ali Kates and I unpack the lyrics of “The Archer” by Taylor Swift from the 2019 album, Lover. In this episode, we explore the desire to express anger and fight back as a trauma survivor after attempting to secure connection through fawning or performing doesn’t work. We shed light on the very real urge to self-sabotage during intense dysregulation. We discuss finding your authentic self beneath the urge to fight, flee, and fawn. Finally, we highlight some of the struggles when it comes to being high functioning and basing your image on being strong and confident when you feel anything but.Resources:Check out Ali’s website: https://alikates.co/Follow Ali on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alikates.co/Interested in working with me?
