A new CDC report says folks with anxiety and/or depression rose from 11% to 42% during COVID (April 2, 2021). We have never seen anything like this.

What we have here is a coming mental health epidemic. The real emotional work of COVID begins now. Now we begin to re-emerge - back...into the real world of people. And we have a moment to exhale, slightly. But now, our emotions have a chance to finally make themselves known to us. And anxiety, is one of the biggest culprits likely to arise.

So what can we do about it?

Join Dr. John in a solocast where he offers some of his best strategies for beating back anxiety. If you want to know how best to deal with anxiety, learn from one who has done it - Dr. John!

Primal World Beliefs is a new area of research that seems to be the foundation of your perceptions, thoughts, emotions and actions. The implications of this are massive. Consider that you might change your behavior towards others by shifting what you believe about how safe the world is in general. How about changing your relationship with money by altering what your belief is about how abundant resources are in the world? This area is in its infancy - only two years old. And yet, some of the greatest minds in psychology are working on it: Dr. Martin Seligman, Dr. Carol Dweck, and Dr. Alia Crum, alongside Dr. Jer Clifton. The hall-of-fame quality of the minds involved in this area of research give you a hint at its potential importance and why we here at The Evolved Caveman are so excited about it.

Join Dr. John as he uncovers the power of your primal world beliefs with the man in charge of the research on Primals: Dr. Jeremy “Jer” Clifton.

Jer received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania studying with Dr. Martin Seligman, and Dr. Angela Duckworth. His primary research area concerns primal world beliefs, with a secondary focus on measurement.

Publications include the 2019 Psychological Assessment article introducing primal world beliefs that was recently featured in the Washington Post. He is currently Senior Research Scientist at the UPenn Positive Psychology Center, Director of the UPenn Primals Initiative, and teaches research methods in the UPenn Master of Applied Positive Psychology program.


Topics covered:

What exactly are primals?

To what extent do primals impact our perceptions thoughts, feelings and actions?

How does trauma influence primals?
 
How are primals affected by the surroundings in which we grow up? Does growing up in a violent inner city apartment complex shift belief towards seeing the world as a dangerous place? Hint: The answer is not what you think!

How do primals change over time?

How do primals correlate with sex? Do women see the world as more dangerous than men?

Given that they are stable over time, how open to change are primals? How can we change our primal beliefs for greater happiness and success? Hell, how do we feel safer?!

To what extent are we aware of our own primal beliefs? How can we get more aware?

How do parents look at teaching primals in their children. Do they tend to want their kids to see the world as safer or more dangerous?

This is one of the most exciting areas of research in psychology. The implications of it are vast and powerful. Discover what primals are and how you can influence yours to achieve the results you want.

An incredible interview with Dr. John Schinnerer and Joree Rose, LMFT on men, leadership, relationships, Man Box culture, and emotional awareness.

How does Man Box culture influence our leadership as men? And as women?

To what extent to women need to adapt masculine ways to succeed in the male dominated workplace?

To what extent does our skill in relationship and communication impact our leadership abilities?

To what extent do we bring those same skills into our romantic relationship at home? With our spouse? With our children?

How does Gottman’s tool of bids for attention impact your romantic relationship as well as your work relationships? How do you respectfully delay responding to someone’s bid for attention?

Do you have a To Do List? To what extent is your To Do List affecting your ability to stay present with others around you? Plus, a great idea from Charlie on HOW to improve your To Do List.

How do boundaries apply to the idea of being an effective leader? How do you implement boundaries? WTF are boundaries?!

This interview is so chock full of tips, tools and nuggets that we begged with Charlie to share it on The Evolved Caveman as well as his podcast. It is powerful. Full stop.

This week’s episode is generously on loan from Move Mountains podcast with host, Charlie White. Check out Charlie’s podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/move-mountains-podcast/id1510074602 or his website on Mindful Leadership at https://www.movemountains.com. You won’t regret it!

There is a story about the great spiritual teacher Gurdjieff many moons ago. One day he asked his students, “If a prisoner wants to escape from prison, what’s the first thing he must know?”
One student answered “You must know the layout of the prison.”
Another said, “it would help to know where the key is.”
“No” said Gurdjieff. “To escape prison, you must first know that you are in prison. Until you become aware of that, no escape is possible.” Awareness is the first step. Join Dr. John as he enlightens you about taking things too damn personally, the damage caused by immersed self-talk, and the freedom created by psychological distance.

Pete Buecker was a successful orthopaedic surgeon who felt that he was merely treating the symptoms of his patients. He left the field and got a Ph.D. in mind-body medicine. Now he works on creating virtual reality mental health programs to treat the root causes — stress, anxiety, depression, inflammation. An absolutely amazing conversation

Anger is one of our biggest barriers to evolution. Anger leads to externalization of blame (blaming other people rather than look at our own part) which keeps us stuck in complacency and refusing to grow and evolve (e.g., “If you’d just stop being such a nagging bitch, I wouldn’t be so angry!”)

Trauma plays a big role in disconnecting us from mental health, other people and, even, our own authenticity. What is trauma? And how do we heal it?

How does the victim mentality play into trauma?

What is shame? How does it affect us in work? In relationship?

The need for belonging is a fundamental need for humans. Listen to the negative behaviors we engage in to belong, as well as what we can do to change that.

Let’s talk about your current project involving Virtual Reality and mental health.

Pete Buecker is a retired Orthopaedic Surgeon turned meditation teacher and spiritual healer. Since 2012, he has been teaching mindfulness, meditation, stress relief, and how to heal the early life wounds that lead to stress, anxiety, depression, inflammation, and addiction. Having completed a PhD in Mind-Body Medicine from Saybrook University in California, he is also the Chief Medical Officer of BehaVR, a digital health company providing root-cause solutions to many of today’s most challenging health conditions using comprehensive virtual reality experiences.  He lives in Louisville, Kentucky with his two amazing teenagers and a veritable bevy of pets.

Joree Rose, LMFT, is a marriage and family therapist, host of the Journey Forward with Joree Rose podcast, entrepreneur, Dr. John’s fiancee and has a brilliantly insightful mind. In this episode, Joree and I discuss the cutting edge research into primal world beliefs and core beliefs and how they dramatically impact your success and happiness. These beliefs seem to be the foundation of everything — your thoughts, feelings, perceptions and behaviors. To what extent are your core beliefs about 1) yourself, 2) other people and 3) the world? Are they making you more successful? Happier? Or are they holding you back from success? Find out more about these powerful subconscious beliefs, how to identify yours and how to shift them to ones that serve you best in this episode of The Evolved Caveman Podcast.

There are 26 Primal World Beliefs that have been empirically identified in research. The primary one is the extent to which you view the world as good or bad. Some other world beliefs focus on the extent to which you see the world as just vs. unjust; abundant vs. barren; funny vs. unfunny; meaningful vs. meaningless; and changing vs. static. Where you stand on these beliefs not only shape how you perceive situations (e.g., Imagine viewing the world as dull and boring vs. exciting and interesting), but also how much positive emotion you feel, how you think, and how you behave (e.g., Imagine seeing people as safe vs. threatening).
