Greetings all!  In this episode we dive into the Psychological Symptoms of Attachment Trauma.  We go into depth on the tendencies to feel guilt, shame, and humiliation from our childhood trauma(s) and we discuss why individuals may experience hyper-reactive stress, and we barely scathe the surface on Enmeshment and the incessant need to please others no matter what!  Ultimately people need to understand that trauma, in all its forms, are the bleeding.  Our coping mechanisms and choice of addictions are merely the band aid over the bullet hole.  We need to learn to address our issues and seek help and recovery to really heal from our past.  I hope you find great insights and help from this episode today.

Happy New Year everyone!  Welcome to 2023!  In this episode, I discuss the goals and objectives I wish to accomplish in order to bring more online presence to the podcast, how to promote it, what may change as far as the content is concerned and finally.....we talk about family!  We discuss how we are, at times, selfish when it comes to making decisions that can be sometimes self-serving.  And while self-serving isn't always a bad thing, we need to stop using excuses for why we choose to NOT spend more time with our family.  We talk about giving grace to those who are our friends and family and to make it a goal to reach out more often to our parents, kids, cousins, etc. in order to incorporate our families into our busy lives.

Welcome back to Magnified Grace!  I'm back with another episode pertaining to our mental health and relationships!  Today we are talking about confirmation bias, what it is, how it impacts our relationships, and why understanding what confirmation bias is matters to us.  We need to understand what our core beliefs and convictions are so that we can eventually get to a place where we choose to challenge those beliefs and convictions to determine if they're worth keeping or if they're worth compromising over newfound information, data, and statistics that prove contrary to what we believe!  We need to learn to grow and entertain a thought without accepting it because it may also help us to be more understanding, empathetic, kind, and gracious to someone who needs to feel free to express themselves without feeling judged.  We can be better at being compassionate and loving to others if we just extend our reach over to the other side to understand their pains, hurts, and traumas.

In today's podcast, I discuss the current events of supply chain issues, COVID, and how it has impacted Adderall and thus creating the Adderall shortage.  This can be a real problem!  This problem won't be going away any time soon according to the experts and main stream media.  So what can we do about it?  What are the alternatives?  How can we change our mindset and perceive this as an opportunity to do things a little different?  Consider these questions as you search your soul for the answers that will help you to navigate these uncertain times and how you can approach this issue.  We must be willing and able to adapt!  Let's grow and let's overcome the issue!

Hey!  I'm your host Manny and I'm glad to be back with you and feeling 100% after being a little under the weather.  This week I discuss exercise addiction and how to spot the signs that your gym time may be a compulsive behavior over just a healthy lifestyle.  We discuss what exercise addiction is, what it looks like, the signs and symptoms of this addiction, the types of exercise addiction, and the risks associated with being addicted to the gym.  Let's face it, being at the gym is really good!  There are lots of great benefits from working out, but when you're going there because you hate yourself, your body, or because of the guilt or shame that you carry with you, then you're doing it for the wrong reasons!  Love yourself for where you're at!  Give grace to yourself and set realistic and achievable goals for yourself because you love yourself...not because you can't accept yourself or face your demons!

In this week's episode I discuss what grace is, what repentance is, why we need both and what they mean for our recovery.  We also talk about the merits of living a life of repentance and constant growth; that we are always under construction and we should strive to never stop growing until the day we pass!  We also discuss why grace isn't weakness and how there can actually be immense strength and self control that comes from giving grace to people and being gracious with others.

In this week's episode, I discuss some really good, positive memes versus some not-so-good and confusing memes.  I decided to change it up a bit and start a podcast series where I review both positive recovery memes and some recovery memes that can be confusing and even promote negative self-talk.  I break down some memes so take a listen and let me know your thoughts on this new series!

This topic is near and dear to my heart since I seriously struggled a lot with approval addiction and I really put a lot of value in what other people thought of me.  But then as I was getting better, becoming more sober, and beginning to see my self-worth and value, I began to cure myself of this kind of addiction.  Losing ourselves to approval addiction for the sake of gaining the validation from others wrecks havoc on our mental health and we can become resentful, bitter, passive aggressive, etc.  Take a listen in and learn a bit about approval addiction!
