Blair: A Schizoid at Smith | 173
In this week’s episode of Behind Beautiful Things, host Kevin interviews Blair, author of A Schizoid at Smith: How Overparenting Leads to Underachieving, for an insightful conversation about mental health, identity, and self-understanding. Blair shares her upbringing in a home that lacked emotional connection and nurturing, and how those experiences shaped her development and eventual diagnosis of Schizoid Personality Disorder. She explains what this diagnosis means for her life and offers valuable perspective for others navigating similar experiences. Blair also explores the powerful role of music as a way to interpret emotions, understand life, and find meaning. Join us for a thoughtful and eye-opening episode focused on mental health awareness, personal growth, and the healing power of creativity.
Please Note: This episode contains discussion of suicide and bullying. Please take care while listening.
