Do you minimize your negative past experiences?

Or do you have selective memory, where you only remember the good from a painful relationship or time in your life? Almost like hyper-positivity with past experiences?

Do you feel tempted to return to these toxic relationships or experiences?

If you're nodding your head, you are not alone. I see this in many of my therapy clients, and I figured if it is happening with them, maybe you are experiencing this, too.

In this episode, I am talking about euphoric recall – what it is, why it's dangerous, and how to protect yourself from falling back into old, toxic patterns or relationships.

Today's guest is Rainier Wylde, a man who has lived many lives, from managing a Fortune 500 company, to becoming a psychotherapist, to helping people navigate the human soul.

I found Rainier on Instagram - what he wrote about resonated so much that I invited him on the show. We largely talk about the messiness of being human -- dating unavailable people, our shadow selves, infidelity, grief, and so much more.

Rainier has such a gentle soul, and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains information about (gun) violence which may be triggering to survivors.

Do you think something good can come from a traumatic experience?

Or do you feel like awful things simply happen to us, and nothing productive comes from them?

I explore these questions in today's episode on post-traumatic growth. I talk about the potential for positive experiences after traumatic events, and I share what I have witnessed as a psychotherapist and in the aftermath of my own traumatic experiences.

Have you ever marveled at how some people turn heads simply by entering a room?

Or at how easily some people set boundaries and stand firm?

Or at how others freely speak their mind without the worry of judgment?

These are all examples of real self-confidence, and in today's episode, I am talking about what self-confidence is, where it comes from, what cuts it down, and five simple ways you can build more self-confidence.

Many people think we are either born with confidence or we aren't. While we are born extroverted or introverted, no matter how you interact in the world, self-confidence is something you can build, and we can always build more of it.
