Emotional wirklich gesehen und gehört zu werden ist extrem wichtig. In der Familie, der Partnerschaft, im Beruf - eigentlich immer und überall! Atze und Leon tauchen tief in das Thema emotionale Validation ein – was sie bedeutet, wie sie unsere zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen stärkt und was passiert, wenn sie fehlt. Denn Validation ist kein "Nice-to-have", sondern ein zentrales Element echter Verbindung. Doch wie schafft man es, anderen das Gefühl zu geben, in ihren Emotionen ernst genommen zu werden? Atze und Leon haben wissenschaftlich fundierte Antworten und praktische Tipps.

On this episode, we’ll wrap up our discussion of the Puppet Masters Bible by Tom Walker. The post 396: The 15 Most Powerful Cognitive Shortcuts in Persuasion first appeared on Persuasion by the Pint.

In this insightful and compassionate episode, Clarissa and Molly take a deep dive into post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS)—an often overlooked but critical phase in ultra-processed food addiction recovery. While well-known in substance use disorder recovery, PAWS is rarely discussed in the context of food addiction, yet it shows up in significant ways. Clarissa and Molly break down what PAWS is, why it happens, and how it can show up months or even years into recovery. They share real client experiences, neurobiological explanations, and clinical insights—plus, they normalize what can feel like a confusing and distressing time. They also offer practical strategies for clients and clinicians alike, always with compassion, humor, and a forward-thinking, growth-focused perspective.

What if the greatest obstacle to reaching your potential isn't external barriers, but a mindset in which you see yourself as a victim? Today, I'm stoked to welcome back my good friend and one of my favorite thinkers, Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman. This is Scott's third time on the podcast, and he always delivers. Scott is a humanistic psychologist, bestselling author, and host of The Psychology Podcast. His new book Rise Above: Overcome a Victim Mindset, Empower Yourself, and Realize Your Full Potential dives deep into what it means to move through suffering with both self-awareness and strength.In this conversation, we talk about the difference between victimization and a victim mindset, how subtle thought patterns like hostile attribution bias or over-personalization can limit growth, and why a mindset rooted in empowerment is the key to self-actualization.As you listen, reflect on your own internal narratives…. Maybe even the core triggers for when you tend to blame, deflect, or shrink back when things get hard? How might a shift toward a more powerful mindset — toward a deeper trust in yourself — change how you respond to life's challenges? Please enjoy this powerful conversation with my friend, Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman.__________________Subscribe to our Youtube Channel for more powerful conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and meaning: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

If you've ever invested time or money into a “sure thing” that fizzled, or found yourself insisting, “this time I'll stick to my schedule!” (despite plenty of evidence to the contrary), you're not alone. We are talking about cognitive biases, those sneaky mental shortcuts that shape our decisions, our stories, and, often, our downfalls.Cognitive biases aren't unique to ADHD brains; they're a universal human feature. They are one of the tools evolution handed us to allow for snap decisions instead of getting overwhelmed by information. But for those of us with ADHD, these shortcuts don't always get us where we want to go. Sometimes, they spark innovation, but other times, they lead us straight into frustration or failure.Drawing inspiration from Vicki Tan's book “Ask This Book a Question,” we'll break down why our ADHD brains are uniquely wired to fall into these “mind traps,” from relentless optimism and the sunk cost fallacy, to judging ourselves and others with double standards. But it's not all doom and gloom: you'll find out how understanding these biases can help you harness them as tools, create better decision-making habits, and transform your relationship with your business and your team. Let's unravel the stories we tell ourselves—and learn how to write better ones.Here's what you'll learn in this episode:What cognitive biases are, and which ones our ADHD brains are most prone to The Optimism Bias - why we are grossly unrealistic about how much time and energy things take, and how to calibrate your big dreams.The Fundamental Attribution Error—why we give ourselves grace but judge our team, clients, and competitorsSunk Cost Fallacy— why we can't let go of things we've worked hard at, even when they are doomed to fail My personal hacks for reality checking, perspective shifting, and accountability building, and my four-step “fresh start” framework.Tools to reset your decision-making: decision journals, external accountability, and Post-its that help you keep your eye on those sneaky bias blindspots Spoiler alert: Cognitive biases aren't a bug; they are a feature. These mental shortcuts are part of the brain's operating manual. The key isn't to eliminate them, but to learn how to spot them and flip them into tools for smarter (and kinder) entrepreneurship.

In this episode of Literally First Class, Keri Ford dives into the often-misunderstood world of healing and mental health - specifically, what the industry gets wrong. From the limits of talk therapy to the overuse of trauma buzzwords, she breaks down why somatic work is the missing piece for real transformation. You'll hear why “trauma-informed” isn't enough, how to spot trained practitioners, and how true healing starts with permission, not perfection. It's candid, eye-opening, and packed with insights for growth-driven women ready to deepen their personal evolution.   Takeaways: The healing and mental health space has significant gaps. Cognitive behavioral therapy often fails to create real transformation. Awareness alone is not enough for healing; integration is key. Healing involves allowing all feelings rather than trying to eliminate them. Permission is essential for true healing to occur. Over-pathologizing can perpetuate feelings of shame and brokenness. Spiritual bypassing can hinder genuine healing efforts. Not all practitioners are equally trained; discernment is crucial. Somatic work addresses the deeper layers of trauma. True healing requires a personalized approach based on individual experiences.   Episode Resources: Book your free 15-minute Somatic Strategy Call with Jalena (no sales pitch, just a free nervous system audit)!

Here's another fantastic conversation with Justin Barrett, cognitive scientist extraordinaire, who spends his time at the intersection of science and religion. We dove deep into why developmental psychology is such a powerful lens for understanding human nature - turns out you can't figure out if a zebra is white with black stripes or black with white stripes just by looking at adult zebras, you've got to watch how they develop. Justin walked us through the fascinating story of human evolution and our hyper-sociality, from our massive brains (five to seven times bigger than expected for mammals our size!) to our unique ability to think about each other's thoughts about our thoughts. We explored how kids naturally develop agency detection, theory of mind, and teleological reasoning - basically why three-year-olds spontaneously ask "what's that mountain for?" and start wondering about invisible agents. Then we got into the weeds about how our Stone Age minds are navigating modern technologies like social media and AI, with Justin making a compelling case using his "kudzu analogy" about technologies that spread too fast for us to understand their consequences. From the crisis of masculinity to boomers getting radicalized during COVID lockdowns, we covered how our evolved psychology is both a gift and a vulnerability in our rapidly changing world.  Check out his new book, How Can Your Faith Fuel Scientific Discovery?: Questions and Reflections for Becoming an Integrated Scientist. Justin L. Barrett is President of Blueprint 1543 and honorary Professor of Theology and the Sciences at St Andrews University School of Divinity. Barrett previously taught in Fuller Theological Seminary's School of Psychology, in the Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology at Oxford University, at the University of Michigan, and at Calvin University.

Tara has spent nearly 20 years bridging the gap between neuroscience and education. An experienced educator, consultant, and speaker, Tara collaborates with educators and advocates worldwide. She can demystify common misconceptions in learning and discuss how neuroplasticity has the potential to reshape education as we know it.The ability of our brains to change and adapt throughout life offers powerful opportunities for maintaining cognitive health as we age. Neuroeducation expert Tara Bonner discusses how neuroplasticity works, explaining that our brains are constantly changing in response to experiences, habits, and mental challenges.• As we age, our brains naturally experience decreased processing speed, memory challenges, and reduced cognitive flexibility• Repeated exposure and focused practice of any activity will change brain connectivity – for better or worse• Stress, trauma, and addiction can negatively rewire the brain, while novel experiences create positive neural pathways• Critical thinking abilities may be weakening due to convenience culture and passive information consumption• Social engagement, especially intergenerational connections, provides essential brain stimulation• Physical activity, proper nutrition, quality sleep, and stress management all contribute to brain health• Seeking novelty and embracing challenges keeps the brain actively creating new neural connections• The brain thrives on "effortful processing" – activities that are slightly challenging rather than automatic• Cognitive programming can target specific brain functions like critical thinking and processing speedLearn more about cognitive programming and brain fitness resources at ArrowsmithCA.

Cognitive dissonance is one of the most powerful forces keeping women stuck in toxic relationships. It's the reason you doubt yourself, excuse red flags, and feel like you're going crazy—while holding onto hope. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver explains how cognitive dissonance plays out in toxic marriages, narcissistic relationships, and parallel parenting—and why it leads directly to burnout.   You'll learn: How cognitive dissonance causes confusion, guilt, and emotional shutdown The sneaky link between toxic relationships and physical burnout Why high-functioning women blame themselves—and how to stop How to begin seeing the truth clearly (even when it hurts) Practical steps for healing your mind, body, and boundaries

In this Mini Mikkipedia Monday, I'm diving into the concept of cognitive restraint — the intentional, often skill-based ability to say “no thanks” to food when it doesn't align with your goals. This isn't about deprivation or dieting harder, but about building an empowering skill that helps you align your actions with your intentions. I share how cognitive restraint is developed over time (it's not just something you're born with), reflect on my own experience with overeating, and offer a practical roadmap of mindset shifts and tools to make restraint feel easier and more automatic. Whether you're on a fat loss journey or just trying to regain control over your eating habits, this episode offers strategies you can start using today.Highlights:Why cognitive restraint is a skill, not willpowerThe reframe that changes “restriction” into “empowerment”Practical strategies to build restraint (meal planning, mindfulness, visualisation)How your environment and daily habits impact your ability to follow throughThe power of identity and self-talk in long-term dietary success Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Story at-a-glance Cognitive decline is on the rise among Americans of all ages, leading to memory loss, trouble focusing, and poor decision-making. Regular physical activity significantly improves brain function, memory, and attention at any age Engaging in moderate-intensity exercises like yoga, dancing, or even exercise-based video games enhances memory and decision-making skills, without the need for intense workouts Brief, daily sessions of lighter exercise have shown greater cognitive benefits than longer, more strenuous routines, especially for children, adolescents, and individuals diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Exercising outdoors further amplifies these benefits, significantly reducing mental fatigue, boosting creativity by up to 60%, and promoting emotional well-being by lowering stress and anxiety Combining regular physical activity with quality sleep strengthens memory, attention, and overall cognitive sharpness, providing a powerful, practical strategy for keeping your brain healthy throughout your life

This dynamic, action-oriented approach bypasses our well-worn cognitive defenses and connects head with heart in ways that talk therapy sometimes can't.Psychodrama isn't merely a theoretical concept for your licensure exam—it's a powerful therapeutic tool with profound applications. Developed by Jacob Moreno in the 1920s and popularized during the human potential movement, this approach treats personality as a collection of roles rather than a fixed entity. When we become rigid in these roles or overidentify with certain aspects while neglecting others, psychological distress often follows. Through techniques like role reversal, doubling, mirroring, and empty chair work, clients can safely explore traumatic memories, practice difficult social interactions, or say goodbye to lost loved ones.The magic of psychodrama happens in its three-phase structure. The warm-up builds trust and group cohesion. The action phase allows the protagonist to enact significant life scenes with the help of group members serving as auxiliary egos. Finally, the sharing phase universalizes the experience as group members connect the protagonist's work to their own lives without analysis or advice. This creates what Moreno called "tele"—the empathic connection between individuals that forms the cement of healthy relationships. Whether you're preparing for your exam or looking to expand your therapeutic toolkit, understanding psychodrama's unique capacity to make the intangible tangible opens new possibilities for helping clients achieve meaningful change through spontaneity, creativity, and authentic expression.

In this episode, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Christian Drapeau, neurophysiology scientist and stem cell pioneer, to explore the fascinating world of plant-based stem cell activation and regenerative medicine. Christian shares his groundbreaking research on how natural plant extracts, including Klamath Lake blue-green algae and sea buckthorn, can stimulate the body's own stem cell production — enhancing the repair of organs, tissues, bones, and even the brain. From athletes seeking faster muscle recovery to those navigating cognitive decline or chronic illness, this episode offers cutting-edge insights into the body's innate healing potential. They dive into how microcirculation, gut health, and even peptide therapy work synergistically with stem cell activation to transform long-term health outcomes. Christian also introduces StemRegen, a supplement developed to safely and effectively increase circulating stem cells using plant-based protocols.

We have been given the incredible offer by God to not only find forgiveness, but to experience transformation. We have been made different to make a difference.How is this transformation done? Romans 12:2 gives us a hint. “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but rather be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Transformation starts in the mind. Paul teaches the same thing in Philippians 4:8-9. “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—THINK about such things.Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice (DO). And the God of peace will be with you.”THINK—DO. According these verses, the transformed life begins on the inside with what you think. Your outward action – that which you do – is an overflow of that. THINK—DO.Cognitive psychology has confirmed what the Scriptures have taught and from that study, have identified two “laws.” 1.     The Law of Cognition: You are what you think. Another way to say it is: the way you think creates your attitudes, shapes your emotions, and governs your behavior.Using trees as an illustration, Jesus taught that if the inner life (what you can't see) is healthy, the outer display (the fruit—that which you can see) will be healthy also. If the stream of your thoughts is “true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and of good repute” then you will be able to “do” or “put into practice” that which is delightfully different.By the same token, if the inner life, the unseen life of a person is unhealthy—if the stream of thoughts is misguided, false, impure or ugly—then that will become evident as well. The state of your inner life will inevitably leak out.2.     The Law of Exposure:  Your mind will think most about what it is exposed to.What repeatedly enters your mind eventually shapes your thinking and ultimately expresses itself in your behavior. It's like creating mental ruts in our brains—pathways worn deep by repeated patterns of thought. These ruts can be destructive, like resentment, complaint, negativity, worry, or lust. Or they can be life-giving, “whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely,” etc.How can you change the ruts you're in? Catch the negative or untrue thought. Replace it with that which is true and contstructive.Guard your mind by being careful about what you expose yourself to.Build structures that can help you create new ruts, such as worship, Scripture reading, and community.   Text: Philippians 4:8-9; Romans 12:2 Originally recorded on January 25, 2009, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

We've known for decades that the 'Yell, Tell and Sell' strategy of belittling people, endeavouring to cajole—or shame—them into some kind of change doesn't work - in fact it can't work.  It's not how we're wired.  Cognitive neuroscience has been telling us this for decades but it's only recently that people have begun to listen. One of those who has been speaking in the wilderness for a long time—and is now finally being heard—is this week's guest, Renée Lertzman. Dr. Renée Lertzman is a researcher, advisor and strategist who translates relational psychology to change our approach to our planetary crisis. Applying her graduate training as a psychosocial researcher, she designs frameworks and methods, grounded in public health, clinical psychology and neurosciences, that guide people to take action and create impact on climate and sustainability issues. Over the past two decades, Renée has worked with global leaders, startups, governments, and mission-driven companies—including Google, IKEA, the California Academy of Sciences, and WWF—helping them navigate the emotional complexities of climate engagement. She's also the founder of Project InsideOut, an initiative that equips changemakers with psychologically grounded resources for collective transformation.This is the key to our survival. We need to learn how to engage ourselves and each other in ways that will transform ourselves and each other. We need to bring serious emotional literacy to the table so that we can create the containers, and attune to the anxieties and aspirations of people around us. We need, above all, to equip people to make sustained and sustainable change.  This is the core of Renée's work and hearing her talk about it in depth is the first step to making it happen.  Enjoy!Learn more at reneelertzman.com and projectinsideout.net.Renée on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/reneelertzman/Renée's TED talk https://www.ted.com/talks/renee_lertzman_how_to_turn_climate_anxiety_into_action

You walk into the office or log on to your morning meeting, and something feels off. One of your most reliable team members is distracted, quiet, and not meeting expectations. You wonder if you should say something… but you don't want to overstep. You're not a therapist. What if you say the wrong thing? In this episode, Dr. Bray explores what managers should do when they notice signs of emotional distress in an employee. Inspired by the Harvard Business Review article “Helping an Employee in Distress” and grounded in real-world psychology, this conversation will give you the language, mindset, and confidence to lead with both care and clarity. You will learn: How to recognize red flags without becoming intrusive What to say when you notice something is wrong How to respond with empathy while protecting healthy boundaries What research tells us about listening, validation, and psychological safety How one manager's simple conversation helped turn around a difficult situation You will hear stories similar to Jordan's, a creative lead known for his big ideas and positive energy. When he started arriving late and keeping his camera off in meetings, his manager, Taylor, gently checked in. That five-minute conversation revealed that Jordan was quietly navigating burnout and family stress. Taylor did not try to solve it, but she listened, offered support, and pointed him to resources. That small moment of connection helped Jordan feel seen and gave him the space to get back on track. This is not about having all the answers. It is about knowing how to open the door and walk alongside your people when it matters most. Tune in and learn how to support your team through challenging moments without compromising performance, professionalism, or humanity. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "Empathy is not about offering sympathy, but about being committed to fully understanding someone's experience." "Cognitive reframing is a process of replacing unhelpful thoughts with a more realistic and balanced view of a situation." "Even a 5 to 7 minute conversation can really change things."

Story at-a-glance Cognitive shuffling helps transition your mind to sleep by mimicking your brain's natural shift from focused thinking to random, dreamlike patterns Instead of trying to clear your mind, choose a simple word and think of other words starting with each letter to gently redirect overthinking The technique works by providing just enough mental distraction without stimulation, making it ideal for people with racing bedtime thoughts Adding visualization and coordinated breathing enhances the effectiveness by engaging your senses and activating your body's relaxation response With consistent practice, your brain learns to associate the shuffling process with winding down, creating a sustainable sleep routine without sleep aids

Who's babysitting AI? Will it steal your job? What happens when you're rude to a chatbot? Cognitive scientist, Trinity College professor and Artificial Intelligence Ethicologist  Dr. Abeba Birhane lets me ask her not-smart questions about legislation around AI, auditing datasets, environmental impacts, booby traps, doorbell narcs, commonly used fallacies, how the “godfathers' of AI feel about their creation, robots doing your homework, and and whether or not AI is actually the root of all evil. Also: bacon ice cream and why Siri is a girl. Visit Dr. Birhane's website and follow her on Bluesky and Google ScholarA donation went to The Municipality of Gaza and UNRWAMore episode sources and linksSmologies (short, classroom-safe) episodesOther episodes you may enjoy: Neurotechnology (AI + BRAIN TECH), Architectural Technology (COMPUTER PROGRAMMING), FIELD TRIP: A Hollywood Visit to the Writers Guild Strike Line, Futurology (THE FUTURE), Gizmology (ROBOTS), Genocidology (CRIMES OF ATROCITY)Sponsors of OlogiesTranscripts and bleeped episodesBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a monthOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on Instagram and BlueskyFollow Alie Ward on Instagram and TikTokEditing by Mercedes Maitland of Maitland Audio Productions and Jake ChaffeeManaging Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by Kelly R.
