  • 🌀Hypnosis, 👁‍🗨EMDR, and the Advent of Marketing with Niels
    Niels joins me in discussing commonalties between his modality of choice (hypnosis) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). The latter is my therapeutic specialty, and was greatly inspired by the principles of hypnosis, including "ego state psychology" etc.
    ❗️If you've ever been curious about hypnosis from an insider's perspective, this is the podcast episode for you! Niels is generous in sharing his knowledge of the field, and wisdom of this level usually isn't found for free.

    🦊Along with the above, Neils and I address: 

    Fundament principles of argument and debate, on a neurobiological level (limbic system vs. prefrontal cortex)
    The American godfather of propaganda who "invented" 🥓breakfast.
    The rogue academic who destroyed his own unpublished works, rather than allow them to survive in the wake of his passing 
    the ethical pitfalls to consider, in the therapeutic profession

    • 🔱A Stoicism and Anxiety Masterclass feat. Paul Domenick🔱

      "Not to assume it's impossible because you find it hard. But to recognize that if it's humanly possible, you can do it too." 


      -Marcus Aurelius 


      Providing the above, poignant quote, Paul Domenick reminds us that he has dedicated significant time to the study of stoicism, particularly the words of Marcus Aurelius and Seneca. Join Paul and I as we explore the merits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), the "communication crisis" facing culture, and how to access our "inner wise selves." 


      Domenick describes his own journey with stoicism, illustrating that he practices the philosophy which he preaches.


      Further, Paul articulates the merits of personal journaling, an art with which your correspondent is professionally familiar. Paul shares excerpts from his journaling curriculum, co-written by Aion Media Co's own @Pathtomanliness, Ryan Felman.


      Listen for these 4 tips from Paul, toward the end of the podcast, and fill in the answers! 


      1. Try to start being more ___ and ___see the task as an end itself, not just a means.


      2. Start pushing past your perceived___. Write an extra page or paragraph that you normally wouldn't. 


      3. Question ___ that you have throughout the day. 


      4. Visualize yourself ___ before you expect to see external results. Ask yourself '___?' Challenge the meanings you attach to events!

    • Ingri Pauline: Women's Wellness ➕Warrior Wisdom

      "Remember that food is not only fuel, but also medicine." 


      -Ingri Pauline


      "Honor, courage, and commitment": these were the values instilled in Ingri Pauline through her training in the US Navy Spec Ops, as an Ordnance Disposal Specialist.


      After an unexpected medical condition resulted in early retirement from the armed forces, Ingri turned her dedication to personal development toward exercise kinesiology and nutrition. 


      She lives by the creed, “I believe in being physically strong and capable, because not everyone can be."


      During the course of my podcast, you'll learn what energizes Ingri in her quest to share sustainable fitness and nutritional information. Her story of resilience and personal development will inspire you to see the virtue in diligence and steady behavioral change.


      Ingri assists women in optimizing their exercise according to physiology and feminine-specific factors, a mission unique and neglected in culture today.


      Be sure to listen through the entirety of the podcast, as Ingri provides some indispensable dietary wisdom and shares her dream for one million women to study exercise science!
