The Intense Mind with Imi Lo

FULL SHOW NOTES: 
https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2020/09/21/toddpressman/


In this wonderfully unique and useful conversation, we are speaking with Dr. Todd Pressman about deconstructing anxiety. Dr. Pressman’s work first caught my attention for he has some rather radical ideas about anxiety: Firstly, he proposes any negative experience we have is really a fear in disguise; so all our emotions, from anger to guilt, all find their roots in fear. 

Then, he suggests we can all reveal one core fear at the root of all the other emotional difficulties we have, and that core fear is going to be the same every time.  Just to give you a clue, these five core fears are: abandonment, loss of identity, loss of meaning, loss of purpose and death. 

These are not just theories, Dr. Todd also offers some effective and practical exercises  we can do right now to unpeeled layers of our fears and achieve more freedom and calm. We will walk through some of these exercises in the episode. 

I can’t wait to share his knowledge, creativity and wisdom with you!

FULL TRANSCRIPT:
https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2020/08/03/julia-fehrenbacher/

Today’s episode is very special and a little different than usual. 

If you are someone who is sensitive, emotionally intense,  

If you have a desire to express yourself through any art form,

If you have creativity blockages, 

If you believe in the power of words and poetry, this conversation is for you. 

Today we are talking with artist and poet Julia Fehrenbacher.

I was introduced to her by our previous guest Steven Hayes, who used one of Julia’s poems in his book The Liberated Mind. You may remember her poem ‘Hold Out Your Hand’, beautifully read out by Steven in a past episode.  If you haven’t already, I strongly encourage you to check that out. 

This time, we covered many topics; such as ways to work through creative stuckness, how to turn pain into art, what we can learn from parenting sensitive children, and the role of spirituality in an artist’s life. I also invited Julia to read out a few of her poems, one about forgiveness and the other about letting go.  

If you really slow down and let Julia’s poetic work sink it, I believe you will feel very nourished.

FULL TRANSCRIPT:
https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2020/06/27/james-hollis/

Today’s episode is, on a personal level, deeply meaningful to me. Some time ago, I went through what I now know was a crisis of the Soul. As always, I went and search for answers in books and philosophies. That was when I found Dr James Hollis’s work on Jungian Psychology.  Dr Hollis is a Jungian psychoanalyst and the author of sixteen books, his work is incredibly extensive and accessible.

In today’s long conversation, we honed in the meaning of what Jung calls ‘the second half of life’. According to Jung, the first half of our lives is very much about fitting in, adapting to social norms and conventions, but as we enter the second half of our lives, what has worked all these years no longer do. This is when we start to ask questions like, “Who am I apart from my roles? Who am I apart from my history? Who am I apart from my obligations?

I specifically asked about things that I see again and again in emotionally sensitive and intense people, such as the conflicts we face for being a natural non- conformist,  the fear of being ostracised by the crowd, and the guilt we feel for breaking away from home. We also discussed the burden of our parents’ unlived lives.  I directly asked James the question: Are we responsible for our parents’ happiness and wellbeing? 

Finally, we discussed how Jungian/ Depth Psychology offers us unique ways to understand our psychological symptoms and how we can listen to our dreams. 

The materials in today’s episode are denser than usual;  but if you are a fellow seeker, I think you will benefit tremendously from what’s coming.

I am very excited to bring back a past guest, pioneer in the field of studying empath, empathy and emotional intelligence Karla McLaren. In the last episode with Karla, we discussed hyper empathy and she offered us some great tips on setting emotional boundaries.

Today we will talk to Karla about her new book Embracing Anxiety, which feels like what we all need to learn in this trying time. We will cover the differences between fear, anxiety and panic, and why understanding them helps us deal with them. We also talked about how depression can be our mentor. Most importantly, you will hear some useful, practical strategies we can start using, such as burning our unconscious contracts and something she calls ‘conscious complaining’!

SHOW NOTES: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2020/03/14/karen_koenig/

Do you sometimes eat even when you are not hungry, but just feel bored, angry or empty?

Are you chronically stressed because you try to be perfect all the time?

My conversation with emotional eating expert Karen Koenig ends up being not just about eating, but our deeply unconscious patterns and personality tendencies that hold us back, such as perfectionism and what she calls nice boys and girls syndrome.

This conversation was both intimate and practical. We shared some of our journeys, and Karen offered great tips you can immediately use to get off the emotional roller coaster.

Whether or not you think you struggle with emotional eating, I think you will learn a lot from this.

ABOUT KAREN

Karen R. Koenig, is a licensed psychotherapist, motivational speaker and international author who has specialised in the field of compulsive, emotional and restrictive eating for more than 30 years.

She is a co-founder of the Greater Boston Collaborative for Body Image and Eating Disorders and a former member of the Professional Advisory Committee of the Multi-service Eating Disorder Association of Massachusetts.

During the past three decades, she has taught and made presentations to many venues from adult education centres to the Business Women's Association.

Among other publications, her essays and articles have appeared in numerous journals and magazines. Among three of her books, there are ten foreign-language translations.

This is an incredibly rich conversation, in which you will hear:

What you can do if conventional therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) don’t work for you;

Why panic is what you feel when you are trying not to feel anxious, and depression is what happens when you refuse to feel sad;

How you can gain ‘real control’ over your emotions; and

Why psychedelics help some people but not all. 

Finally, Steven leads us through a guided exercise that you can do right now. 

I am sure you will enjoy Steven’s generosity and intelligence as much as I do.

Today we will talk to Aurora Holtzman, she came on  my radar as one of the very few people out there who talks about ‘intensity’. In fact she has a podcast called ‘Embracing Intensity’! After years of feeling “too much,” Aurora finally realized that intensity, in the form of excitability, is the source of her greatest power. Now instead of beating herself up about not measuring up to her own self-imposed standards, she is on a mission to help outside-the-box thinkers befriend their brains and use their fire without getting burned. In this conversation she shared her journey, what she has learned through interviewing intense people, how to manage ADHD, and a bunch of useful resources! 

On social media, you can find Aurora at auroraremember on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and embracingintensity on Facebook & Instagram.

Today, we will talk to Alessia, a gifted artist and creator. In this podcast, I interview not only subject experts and psychologists but also emotionally intense people from all walks of lives, those who have been through unthinkable trauma and have turned their pain into art and meaningful work. 

To Alessia, each of her painting is an intense emotional reaction to experiences. Through her abstract paintings, she explores identity, existence and anxiety. 

In this conversation, we talked about how her chaotic childhood has affected her relationships today, the fear of abandonment,  love addiction, how we can release anger and resentment towards our family, and also, her creative process. 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

ABOUT THE GUEST

Born in 1994, Alessia is a half Italian half Colombian artist based in London. Being the daughter of an immigrant and coming from an abusive household, deeply influenced her work and her sense of justice, especially towards women. Since she was a child, Alessia cared deeply about social issues as well as understanding the constant passing of time in a finite life. What does it mean being a woman? What is the essence of her being? Therefore, she started to explore identity and existence in her art. Alessia’s paintings and poetry are intense emotional reactions to the current world and increased anxiety. They are a way to let go, let go of everything. 

In 2016, she went back to Colombia and spent time in the jungle with a tribe that hosted her and she connected with nature, her biggest inspiration. Her paintings are a representation of her subconscious through trauma, resilience and inner child, her hands are guided by her needs as a woman in a society that aims for the destruction of individuality.  Each painting comes along with a poem/lyric.

In today’s conversation, we talk to Willem Kuipers. Willem is the author of the book Enjoying the Gift of Being Uncommon, where he explores the gifts and challenges of being a highly intelligent, highly intense and sensitive person, and introduces three practices to become more effective in work and private life. 

Recently, Willem has published an article about how extra intelligent people with different MBTI personality types experience their intensity. We will hear Willem tell us about his taxing childhood experience, how he later learned to see new possibilities in the way he is. We will go through clusters of MBTI personality types, and how different people relate to their giftedness. We will talk about dealing with impatience and typical mistakes.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Willem has coined the concept of extra intelligence (Xi) 17 years ago, founded the Ximension.com website, and published his book Enjoying the Gift of Being Uncommon in 2010. 

He has written extensively on the topic of giftedness and intensity in his website, presentations, articles and books in Dutch and English. He recently published in the journal “Advanced Development, a Journal on Adult Giftedness” an article "Being Gifted, being me". 
His vision is to stimulate extra intense and intelligent people to welcome their unique possibilities and increase their personal effectiveness in the process.
