STRETCH your mind;
Uncover your POTENTIAL
Limber Limbic:
Empowering youth to shift the focus from avoiding mental illness toward enhancing MENTAL FITNESS.
Hi, I'm Tucker Botkin, a psychiatric nurse practitioner with bipolar I disorder.
Limber Limbic is my attempt to explore what seem to be foundational truths which unite us all; focusing on what we have in common, the shared human experience. Here, we investigate them through the lenses of science, philosophy, and personal experience to uncover what you already intuitively know to be true. I believe that realizing these truths can help us each understand ourselves, and each other, better. By leading to greater individual empathy and connection, the overarching mission of Limber Limbic is to contribute to a greater society.
This is not just a blog, but a community, where every perspective enriches our understanding. Join us to enrich your unique adventure of self-discovery, personal growth, and meaningful connection.
Welcome to Limber Limbic.
Welcome to Limber Limbic!
Limber Limbic is my outlet for pursuing my passion to explore how and why humans act and feel the way we do. This passion is what led me to become a psychiatry provider for kids and adolescents. One thing I know for sure, is that our current approach to improving youth mental health isn't working.
The journey has taught me that true healing occurs most efficiently by blending the best knowledge from outside ourselves with the innate wisdom we already possess. By combining both perspectives, Limber Limbic strives to provide a holistic overview of mental health, shifting the focus from avoiding mental illness to pursuing mental wellness.
Through social media and podcast (The Limber Limbic Podcast) Limber Limbic aims to:
-
Explore: Strategies for gaining insights into the human experience and the nature of the mind through discussion of ancient wisdom and philosophy.
-
Create: Create a community where we can have vulnerable and raw discussions about real world problems facing young people today. It's time to stop being scared of the stigma and bring the conversation out in the open.
-
Educate: Simplified discussions of the latest scientific evidence to boost your understanding in a way that is accessible and engaging, providing a scientific foundation for personal growth and well-being. From discussing psychedelic compounds, such as MDMA, ketamine, and psilocybin, to how the brain works physically and psychologically (at least as best as we understand now!).
At the heart of Limber Limbic lies the fundamental understanding that true well-being encompasses both body and mind, physical and non-physical. This concept is distinctively embodied by the brain’s limbic system. This fascinating group of interconnected structures deep within the brain plays a crucial role in how we experience life, both rationally and emotionally. By understanding the limbic system, we gain valuable insight into how our minds and bodies work together to shape our experience.
Join the Journey
Each bit of content shared here is an invitation to expand your awareness, challenge your assumptions, and explore the connections that naturally enhance cognitive flexibility, an essential trait for understanding anything we don't already understand, most of all ourselves.
Some concepts may strike a chord or stir a deep feeling of confirmation of knowledge you'd forgotten you possessed, while others may not. Take from Limber Limbic what resonates with you, and feel free to leave behind what doesn’t. In either case, Limber Limbic is here to facilitate your exploration.
Thank you so much for being here.
Stay Limber!
