About this listen

As we grow and experience many things in our lives, borders are created in our thought processes that make us think and believe in certain ways. Sometimes those thoughts can be harmful to our mental health. Dr. Michelle Border will examine the abuse, trauma, and experiences that cause the negative borders in our mind, and help you learn how to break down those borders to have better mental health.
