In this thought-provoking podcast episode, I dive deep into the impact of faith and trauma in our lives.

Childhood trauma often shakes our faith in the world, burdening us with a belief that everything relies on our shoulders, especially for sensitive individuals.

The central message revolves around faith as an antidote to worry and anxiety.

I discuss the tendency to lose our authentic selves while trying to protect others, even if those we protect are negative influences, while introducing the concept of "objecting without contracting," where we refrain from tightening or resisting when faced with worries.

This practice can break the cycle of anxiety and help us trust that the universe can protect us, ultimately leading to a more secure and peaceful life.

In this episode, I want to introduce you to an acronym I've created called JABS: Judgment, Abandonment, Blame, and Shame, primarily directed inward.

These emotional punches not only impact us but reverberate through our relationships and daily lives.

Anxiety often has roots in unresolved childhood trauma stored in our bodies, not just our thoughts. Self-judgment can activate a cycle of self-criticism, hindering our nervous system regulation.

Healing begins with self-awareness. Recognizing self-judgment, self-abandonment, self-blame, and self-shame patterns is the first step toward transformation. Empower yourself by establishing a compassionate connection with your inner child. You have the power to change your narrative.

I would like to note that this podcast is going to be REPETITIVE and it’s designed that way. It is repetitive because I want to get into the deeper subcortical parts of your brain where the voice of the inner critic is stored.

Join us in this transformative conversation as we discuss the importance of embracing discomfort, understanding the role of resistance, and the power of connecting with our younger wounded self.

Welcome to another episode of the AnxietyRx podcast. Today I dive into the roots of anxiety.

Dr. Gordon Neufeld once said, "All anxiety is separation anxiety," and I couldn't agree more. Anxiety often comes from two key separations.

First, there's the disconnect between our mind and body. When we get stuck in our heads, we lose touch with our bodies and the calming sensations of the present moment.

The second separation is between our adult and child selves. The adult might avoid the child self's pain, creating a trust issue.

Early traumas often create this background alarm in our bodies, as I talk about in my book AnxietyRx. Our brain interprets this alarm through interoception, shaping negative narratives based on our deepest fears. The more we focus on these negative thoughts, the more they manifest in our lives.

To break this cycle, we must reconnect with our bodies and the inner child. It might feel forced at first, but it's the path to genuine healing. Other therapies are just coping mechanisms, not real healing.

The key to lasting comfort and healing is integrating our mind, body, adult self, and child self.

In this enlightening episode, join me and my friend Payam - a globally renowned psychedelic-assisted therapy expert - as we dive deep into the realms of healing through psychedelic-assisted therapy and internal family systems.

My own harrowing yet enlightening experiences with psychedelics like LSD and Ayahuasca carved a path to understanding anxiety not just mentally, but physically.

We share our insights on dealing with internal and external stressors in both genders, societal pressures, exploring the intricacies of trauma, the role of our subconscious mind, and the potential yet respectful use of sacred medicines in therapy, highlighting that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process.

Listen, as we weave through our stories and expertise, possibly shining a light on new perspectives and pathways towards understanding mental health and healing.
