This weeks episode is an exploration of biological principles and critical thinking. Using these two things I explore:

The concepts of introversion and extroversion colloquially
Why they can be misleading
Social Homeostasis
Intro and extroversion contrasted with conditioning
Why confusing introversion and anti social is a recipe for disaster.

Welcome to a personal favorite episode of mine. This podcast is about all things that matter but specifically the things that matter in life after trauma. This episode hits that theme hard

There is no other questions as powerful or as infuriating as why is. Any scientist will tout its importance while a young parent its futility.  But in trauma, its the most dangerous game in town. 

Any therapist will tell you asking why about your trauma can be helpful but more times than not it will leave you focused on the negative and stuck. Why in trauma leaves us spinning our wheels getting no where and feeling exhausted. 

As far as I can tell there are very few why questions that lead us to any kind of a helpful answer in trauma. Listen to hear what they are.

This episode is a little different and a lot short than our usual fare. But that's purposeful. If I spend all our time focusing on the big heavy and negative I will become that. So to balance my obsession with facts, data, biology and trauma I love to come up with crack pot ideas for things. I don't need to be told any crazy conspiracy theory. I can come up with one in a heart beat for almost anything I'm looking at! lol

This episode is like that. I have thought for many years now that the trend of growing beards among men is a societal reflex to feminism. Good men especially good straight men need to express themselves as much as anyone does. In 2023 there are not a lot of ways that a man can express his masculine energy that is not problematic. 

This is where beards come in. They're not offensive most male bodies people can grow them. Most importantly it says "I'm a man" without saying "I'm problematic." There are very few things like that available to men now a days. That's why so many good men are depending on their beards to attract women. It's a Feminist thing!

I hope you enjoy this brief little crack pot theory of mine!!

What societal theories burn in the back of your head? Share them with me through the email below and you can get it brought up on a future episode.

This weeks episode covers the theory that underlies nearly everything new we've learned about developmental trauma and neurobiology in the last 25 years. Introduced to the scientific community in 1995 Steven Porges Polyvagal theory explains the function of the autonomic nervous system through the lens of evolution and the progressive development of more and more complex nervous systems over time. 

We discuss:

What is Polyvagal Theory
the Ventral Vagus
the sympathetic 
the dorsal vagus
Neuroception
the autonomic timeline
Trauma in Poly vagal theory 
Vagal Breaking
the Autonomic ladder
how to recognize which nervous system state you are in in any given moment 
how to recognize when you are safe
regulating your resources map

It's exactly what it sounds like. This episode is about a harsh truth that drives me to be the person I am. It may sound extreme but it a very logical leap for more people than you might think. If you believe hurt people hurt people then this is true for you too.

When most people think of therapy, whats often envisioned is talking to a man lying on a couch, and now  through our phones. But the therapy we often envision is whats considered talk therapy. Which has remained largely unchanged since Freud.

Now we have new types of therapy, that are directed to solving our problems ourselves by focusing on skill development. There are a few kinds of these directed therapies. There is ACT CBT DBT EMDR and others.

Today's topic is DBT. In this episode you'll find out who DBT is for, what it can help, who invented it and why its my favorite form of therapy for myself and for the modern world. Therapy no longer has to be telling a stranger about your childhood.

In this episode we discuss how although feelings and thoughts are not the same, they can feel like it. Especially at first. So we discuss how feelings and thoughts are very closely related but if they are not separated as they arise it can cause problems.  In order to solve those problems I talk about 2 ways that we can begin to separate the two for ourselves. one through a series of logical questions and the other way through meditation.

I want to introduce you guys to the greatest meditation app I've ever found. Its called the waking up app and it is phenomenal. You get to set the time that you want your reminders. You get little dharma talks and a meditation each day. Which I genuinely look forward to. Waking up app always comes with a 14 day free trial but if you use this code you'll get 30 days free!!

https://dynamic.wakingup.com/shareOpenAcess/cb5558

You get a 30 risk free trial! I hope youll try it because it will make you life better making the whole world better.

Today's episode is about the hidden War that is destroying the mental health of the modern world and is responsible for the majority of trauma as children. 

Attachment is the need and desire for closeness both physical and emotional for the purposes of care taking or being taken care of.

Authenticity is the ability to know ones self and have the power to direct ones life according to that knowledge.

Attachment is obviously necessary for the survival of human babies. Turns our authenticity is also a survival instinct. And one that if repressed has devastating consequences. This episode tells you how.

Happy New year everyone! This weeks podcast is about my personal new years resolution. As a coach and clinician I am good at both compassion and accountability. But I would be better at both if I could hold both at the same time. So in 2023 I will be working on blending those two oppositions. The yin and yang. the hard and soft.

In this episode we explore oppositions; philosophically, Geometrically and astrologically. Its a bit of an exploration this time. I hope you enjoy it.
