For his 2017 PhD, John Hunter put forward a hypothesis that offers insights into both the “transformational” experiences associated with large group awareness training (LGAT) participation and the common claims of psychological harm and problematic behaviour associated with participation. Dr Hunter presented his work at the 2023 International Cultic Studies Association conference, and for this episode, he breaks down some of his findings – including where LGATs may or may not intersect with cults and cult-like behaviour.Full episode page here.

Picture the headline: Resistance training revolutionizes menopause health. It's that simple.  It's 2024. We still hear both about the use of HRT or reasons (perhaps outdated) not to. We hear about both animal protein and the plant protein advocates.  With this simple method of – humor me – hormone enhancement – there is no argument. We all know we need to be doing it. We all understand the benefits of being strong and vibrant. But lest you confuse a need to lose fat with the need to gain lean muscle, this is for you.  Lifting already? Then you'll love these reminders. After all, the placebo effect is in full swing at all times. It's either working for or against us. So those things you're doing that you know are good for you, amplify them with the scientific evidence and think your way to even better results.  This episode captures the broad spectrum of positive changes resistance training can bring to menopausal women, from physical improvements like visceral fat reduction and bone density increases to more general benefits like enhanced mood and sleep quality improvements. Each of these is directly tied to signs and symptoms of menopause.  Give a Woman a Weight and Change Not Only Menopause, But Her Health the Rest of Her Life Before we dig in, in the rhythmic play off the children's story book, “When you Give a Mouse a Cookie”… When you give a woman a weight… (or when you pick one up yourself)  You:  Enhance her strength Improve her fat free mass Reduce her total fat Reduce that deadly visceral belly fat Support overall hormone balance Alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression Enhance her sleep Improve skin health Increase bone density Enhance Gait and Stability  Women who lift, lift the world. Theirs and the world at large. How Resistance Training Revolutionizes Menopause Health 1. Enhance muscle strength – directly tied to longevity (link to recent episode on testing your own longevity) supporting daily activities and reducing the risk of falls. Beyond that however, for bone density benefit, heavy lifting will require muscle strength.  2. Improve fat-free mass, aiding in a healthier body composition during menopausal transition. The combination of 1 and 2 together, notably known as “recomposition.” You're not literally turning fat into muscle. But you are indeed able to lose fat and not just avoid loss of muscle, but add muscle. This does require some careful effort. For those without much consistent strength training, using a caloric deficit with a high protein intake make effective. The longer your consistent resistance training experience however, and the older you are, you may need a surplus of calories high in protein to overcome the anabolic resistance that occurs with aging.  3. Support total fat mass reduction, addressing weight gain concerns during menopause. Over 5600 postmenopausal women in one hundred studies reviewed showed exercise training effectively increased muscle mass and fat-free mass, and decreased fat mass, body fat percentage, waist circumference and visceral fat. (more on visceral fat coming up). Further this study in Frontiers in Endocrinology in 2023, found combining RE and aerobic exercise(not same session) helped increase muscle and decrease fat, while RE plus combined training – which includes doing aerobic activity and strength training in the same session – helped boost muscle mass most. The reason it likely didn't impact fat as much I suspect is because intensity in the aerobic activity won't be as high. You either won't go as fast or against as much resistance even though it may “feel hard.”  4. Reduce Visceral Fat.  Resistance training has been shown to effectively promote decreases in visceral fat in the absence of caloric restriction. That is, no change other than adding resistance training. In still another study published 2023, reduction in visceral belly fat was significant compared to non-resistance trained control group whether participants did 2 or 3 times weekly RE. The impact was observed to be significant across both obese and non-obese individuals, as well as across different age groups, indicating its broad applicability for fat reduction during menopause. 5. Support hormone balance.For pre- and post-menopausal women's unique physiological needs, muscle is essentially an endocrine organ. You will support more optimal insulin levels, decreasing the need for it and therefore decreasing fat storage. You will experience less negative impact of cortisol compared to cardio. You'll also boost natural testosterone levels, pick up where estrogen levels dropped in menopause, and so much more.  5 More Ways Resistance Training Revolutionizes Menopause Health 6.  Alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety by releasing endorphins and improving mood. Similar to the way that there are reduced negative effects of stress with brief periods of rest between sets allow those sensations to normalize a bit before being increased again with the next set, resistance exercise can provide optimal mini exposure to elevated heart rate for anxiety, without negatively tipping the scale, which helps enhance resilience. Enhance Gait Speed and Stability.  By improving muscle strength and mass, resistance training can contribute to better balance, gait speed, and overall mobility. Gait speed is directly related to longevity with a minimum speed of 3.0 set for determining a good baseline. Walking speeds of 3.3. Or greater are associated with greater bone density benefit through ground forces than slower speeds. Gait speed typically slows with instability or fear of falling. Stronger muscles support joints and can prevent falls, which is crucial as bone fragility increases with age. This was a repetition range of 8-15 with an average of 60s rest between 2 or 3 sets. Changes were improved with as little as 6 weeks of twice weekly RE. 7.  Improve Skin Health by improving circulation and potentially boosting collagen production. Resistance training has a more positive impact on thickening the skin dermis, counteracting the thinning of skin from loss of collagen fibers with age.  8.  Increase Bone Density. Both research and anecdotal evidence from our own Flipping 50 community provides evidence that reversal of bone loss is possible through RE. Resistance training places stress on the bones, stimulating bone formation and increasing bone density. This is particularly beneficial during menopause, a period when women are at increased risk for osteoporosis due to declining estrogen levels. Once thought to be the best exercise, the collective approach now includes high impact exercise, yoga and other weight bearing time daily, as well as resistance training. For those unable to lift heavy, tools like weighted vests and whole body vibration (Power Plate is my choice- https://www.flippnigfifty.com/PowerPlate). 9.  Enhance sleep quality, aiding in better rest and recovery, as well as overcoming the insomnia that can occur during menopause. A study conducted by researchers at Iowa State University and presented at AHA Conference in March 2022, found resistance training helped reduce time to fall asleep and also increased sleep time  more than aerobic exercise among exercisers who did 3x a week resistance training Resistance Training Studies and Menopause Health Among the studies there are a lot of variables. Some smaller, some vast reviews of literature as mentioned with over 5000 women, and variations of 2 or 3 times weekly, 3 or 4 sets, the percent of 1 RM to muscle fatigue did vary as it almost always does when looking at a large body of knowledge. What does come out clearly though is:  Multiple sets each session 6-8 sets for each muscle per week  Higher intensity (heavier with fewer repetitions improved results over low intensity light- with more reps)  Post menopausal women don't respond as well with less stimulus and require more volume from multiple sets x heavier weight and potentially greater frequency of HIIT or high intensity  Because of the increased anabolic resistance women experience in post menopause (older) they will require more protein to achieve the same muscle protein synthesis  Even if the goal is to go heavy for optimal bone density, all exercisers should start with higher repetitions and lighter weights with emphasis on good form.  Based on a simple principle of fitness: progressive overload. While a low load more frequently might be a logical way to begin and build a foundation of connective tissue health and train the brain so to speak. This neural component can't be rushed by heavy weight. It will take the time it takes – about 6-8 weeks of a program. A time when proper form and body mechanics is very important. Yet for women crushed by time, fitting it in, twice weekly can be a bigger advantage and allow for functional workouts, like body weight yoga sessions between without undue fatigue or adrenal stress.  Are you lifting? If you or a woman you know needs to begin, share this with her.

Unveiling Stigma: Navigating Addiction and Treatment in the Opioid Epidemic with Dr. Jonathan Avery Join host Michael Liebowitz in this illuminating episode of The Rational Egoist as he welcomes guest Dr. Jonathan Avery, a leading specialist in addiction psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York. They dive deep into the heart of the opioid epidemic, focusing on the intense stigmatisation that surrounds substance abuse. Discussing the paradox of our societal attitudes, they explore why substance abuse is often stigmatised more harshly than other health and mental health issues, and how this stigma contributes to an insidious cycle of secrecy and suffering for those affected. Avery explains the deadly nature of this silent struggle, with alarming rates of overdoses marking the epidemic's toll.In an unexpected twist, they highlight that alcohol, the most common driver of hospitalisation and death due to substance misuse, manages to evade such stigmatisation. How does society differentiate between alcohol and other substances, and what impact does this dichotomy have on those struggling with addiction?As they delve into possible solutions, Dr. Avery shares insights on the effectiveness of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in helping individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms to overcome addiction. Furthermore, they explore the unfair societal reactions towards relapse in addiction compared to other diseases like cancer. Finally, while acknowledging the harmful effects of certain drug policies, they discuss promising advancements in addiction treatment and research, offering hope to those in the throes of this battle. Tune in for a thoughtful, compassionate conversation on a critical public health issue. Michael Liebowitz is a philosopher, political activist, and host of the Rational Egoist podcast. He is a passionate advocate of reason and his views have been heavily influenced by the philosopher Ayn Rand. Liebowitz has dedicated his life to promoting its principles of rational self-interest, individualism, and reason. In addition to his work as a podcast host, Liebowitz is also a prominent spokesperson for the Libertarian Party for Connecticut - USA and has been involved in a number of political debates advocating for individual rights and freedoms through his YouTube videos and interviews. Liebowitz's life story is a testament to the transformative power of the writings of Ayn Rand. After spending 25 years in prison, he was able to turn his life around by embracing the principles of rational self-interest and morality espoused by Ayn Rand. He has since become an influential voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities, using his own experience to inspire others to live their lives in accordance with reason, individualism, and self-interest. Liebowitz is also the co-author of "Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime," a book that explores the ways in which misguided societal attitudes towards punishment and rehabilitation have led to a rise in crime and recidivism. In addition to his work in politics and philosophy, Liebowitz is a regular guest on the Todd Feinburg show at WTIC, where he provides expert commentary on a range of political and social issues.

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, is joined by Connor Beaton, the founder of ManTalks, to discuss the emasculation of men and how they can have real conversations with their partners and friends. Despite appearing to have a perfect life, Connor hit rock bottom while struggling with addictions and dishonesty. He eventually found a mentor who taught him yoga, psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and shadow work. When he opened up to his male friends about his struggles, he found they didn't know how to respond and were used to conversations which lacked depth and substance. This realization inspired him to create ways for men to connect with one another and their partners, in meaningful ways that don't compromise their strength.  Connor helps men open up to one another, and their partners, without feeling emasculated. Instead, they flourish from doing so.   Also in this episode: How a man can find a mentor Struggles with addiction, porn, lying and cheating “When the student is ready, the master will appear” How a good man finds his voice in marriage  Men are more isolated than ever and that's why it's important for them to be around other men The importance of doing shadow work   About Connor Beaton Connor Beaton is the founder of ManTalks, an international organization focused on men's wellness, success, and fulfillment.  He is a coach, facilitator, teacher, podcast host and speaker helping men from all over the world find purpose, healthy love, a joy-filled life, and fulfilling sexual connection.

Today I have a returning guest to the podcast – Anne Richardson – of Crunch Nutrition (@theeatingdisordernutritionist on IG) and soon to be The Eating Disorder Nutritionist on the web! Anne is a registered nutritional therapist, and she blends nutrition with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to help people have a better relationship with food and their bodies. Anne has a special interest in disordered eating having walked her own eating disorder recovery journey. She works with people who restrict physically and/or mentally, and this can mean people suffering from anorexia, orthorexia, OSFED but also bulimia. Anne grew up in France and has a passion for food and is dedicated to helping people become more relaxed with their diets. She believes that, although nutrition is a science, we shouldn't eat scientifically. She believes many of us have lost our way with food and that this is impacting on not only our physical health but also our mental well-being. Anne is a member of the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT). She is also registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). In our conversation, Anne talks recovery tips and skills, particularly if you are trying to manage weight restoration and heal. She also explores the use of words in relation to food, as words have incredible power and the language we use around food has the potential to help or hinder us. I hope that you enjoy the episode.

Podcast #280: A Beloved and Brilliant Voice from the Past: Dr. Stirling Moorey! Rhonda and I are thrilled to welcome Dr. Stirling Moorey, from London, England, to today's podcast. Stirling was one of my first students, and he sat in with me my on all my sessions as a co-therapist for a month for two summers in the late 1970s. I wrote about Stirling in my first book, Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, which was published in 1980. One of the miracles of the internet, and zoom, is the chance to reunite with friends and colleagues from the past. Needless to say, Rhonda and I were SO EXCITED when Stirling accepted the invitation to join us! Rhonda starts the podcast by saying that “Dr. Stirling Moorey had the good fortune to be trained and supervised by two pioneers in the field of cognitive therapy, Drs. Aaron Beck and David Burns. In 1979, when Stirling was still in medical school in London, he did an elective with Dr. Aaron Beck at the Centre for Cognitive Therapy in Philadelphia.“ I (David) might put it a bit differently. I would say that during the early days of cognitive therapy, I had the fantastic opportunity to do co-therapy together with Stirling with many patients. I learned a tremendous amount from Stirling, even though I was, in theory, the “expert” and he, in theory, was a totally untrained and green novice. But he was phenomenal right out of the gates, and those months were among the happiest of my life. What I learned by observing Stirling's superb interactions with my patients eventually morphed into my Five Secrets of Effective Communication and my first book, Feeling Good Together! Rhonda continues: "Stirling was one of the first British therapists to study CBT when that discipline was in its infancy. David described their fantastic collaborative work with Stirling in Feeling Good, and has described Stirling's brilliant empathy skills in dozens of workshops. Stirling is currently a Consultant Psychiatrist in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and was the Professional Head of Psychotherapy for the South London and Maudsley Trust from 2005-2013. He has been a Visiting Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience in London." Stirling is a highly regarded therapist, trainer / supervisor / teacher and workshop leader. His main research interest is in the application of CBT to life threatening illness and adversity. He was one of the first therapists to develop CBT for people with cancer and has contributed to five randomized controlled trials in both early and late stage cancer. Stirling is also co-author with Steven Greer of The Oxford Guide to CBT for People with Cancer, and has co-edited a book entitled The Therapeutic Relationship in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, published by SAGE (Moorey & Lavender, eds.) During today's podcast, Stirling reminds us that one of the aims of cognitive therapy is encouraging patients to examine their distorted negative thoughts and self-defeating beliefs in a way that is not threatening. If patients don't feel validated, they may feel attacked and become defensive, which, of course, can undermine the therapist's effectiveness. He also reminded us that the grandfather of cognitive therapy, the late Dr. Albert Ellis from New York, often attacked the beliefs of his patients in a somewhat aggressive manner, and that this can frequently trigger therapeutic resistance. In fact, an overly aggressive therapeutic style can split patients and colleagues into two camps: those who love you, and those who may stubbornly resist and oppose you. During the podcast, we reminisced a bit on shared memories, and Stirling said that “David took me under his wing with such willingness to share his knowledge and experience . . . and I was just an ordinary medical student. We had many great moments!” Although Stirling was tempted to relocate to America, he decided to remain in England, and has never regretted that decision. For one thing, he met and married his beloved Magda. My own wife, Melanie, and I were honored to take our two kids to England to attend their marriage. We all loved England and had a ball! Magda, Stirling's wife We discussed some of Stirling's amazing work with the patients we saw together in Philadelphia, as well as his visit one summer when we were in California visiting with Melanie's parents in Los Altos, where we now live. Stirling recalled that when we were out shopping one day, my wife and I tried to persuade him to purchase a large Stetson hat, but he resisted! Stirling described the three ways in which he encourages people to change their negative thoughts using the Socratic Technique of gentle questioning: he  asks if the negative thoughts are realistic, if they are helpful, and if an alternative perspective can be taken. The reality testing approach focuses on the important differences between healthy negative feelings, like healthy sadness or grief, which don't usually need any treatment, and unhealthy negative feelings like depression, or a panic attack. One key difference is that healthy negative feelings always result from valid, undistorted thoughts. For example, if a loved one dies, you may tell yourself, “I still love him with all my heart, and I'll miss the many wonderful times we spent together.” In contrast, unhealthy negative feelings result from negative thoughts about the person who died that are distorted. For example, a young woman who's brother committed suicide told herself, “It's my fault he was depressed because our parents love me more when we were growing up. I should have know that he was considering suicide the day he died, so I, too, deserve to die.” Of course, the distorted thoughts don't have to result from a traumatic event. For example, a chronically depressed patient may tell himself, “I'm a loser, and I'll be depressed forever.” A more pragmatic treatment approach focuses less on whether thoughts are distorted or not, but rather on their effects. It's possible for a thought to be realistic but unhelpful. If a tightrope walker in the circus thinks during their act, ”If I fall I will die,” this may be realistic but not very helpful! Stirling talked about how the third way to look at changing thoughts is based on the fact that our lives always have a narrative—a story we tell ourselves about what has happened, or what is happening right now in our lives. These stories can have a powerful impact on how we all think, feel, and behave, and may often function as self-fulfilling prophecies. We can change these stories to make them more adaptive for us. For instance, rather than seeing the glass as half empty, we can see it as both half empty and half full; or we may choose to focus on what you can control vs. what you can't. What I've written so far are just some general ideas, summaries of things that we talked about on the podcast. But when you listen to the podcast, you will perhaps notice the warmth, richness, and depth in the way Stirling thinks and communicates. Then you will “see” and experience his true genius and his immense compassion! We hope that we can entice Stirling to present to one of our free weekly training groups, and perhaps even see if he might agree to do another co-therapy sessions with me that we can publish on a podcast, so you can actually see and experience this master therapist in action! Rhonda, Stirling and David

I am excited to share this workshop that I hosted with Julia Roman earlier this year called Heal, Release & Renew. The theme was "healing resides inside". We both vulnerably share our journeys of seeking validation and healing outside ourselves and how self love taught us that everything we ever needed existed right within our being.  During this episode we take you through a guided meditation, channelled messages and share tangible tools on how to heal, forgive, release  and renew. The workshop concludes with a visualization on forgiveness and prayer. May this light a spark within and remind you that you are the light which you seek and that every unanswerable question in your life can be answered by recognising your connection to the Universe and every being on this planet.   Here's a bit of background on Julia. Julia is a Self-love & Anxiety Coach who helps women release their limiting beliefs, heal their relationship with themselves, & experience radical self-love. She is a certified Cognitive Behaviour Therapy coach and has a Masters in Human Behavior. Her mission is to inspire, uplift and encourage other women into stepping into their highest version of themselves.  If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe and share!  You can also connect with us on social media:  Julia:  IG @juliaspiritualcoaching  https://www.facebook.com/Juliaspiritualcoaching/  Soraiya:  https://www.facebook.com/soraiya.bodhi1111  @soraiyabodhi

So how do you treat eating disorders? Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions and sadly there is no wonder cure that can fix them. What works effectively for one person may be very different for another. In this episode, I talk to you about some of the ways that I work with my clients. I describe myself as an integrative counsellor, meaning that I am not wedded to any one approach rather using different therapies, which I have found to be particularly helpful for treating eating disorders (Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, MANTRA and Cognitive Analytic Therapy). I firmly believe in the therapeutic relationship being the corner-stone for healing. I also believe in being flexible and tailoring work to suit a client's personal journey. Sometimes, this may involve a talking therapy with more insight and self-reflection, whilst at other times it may mean utilising tools and practical strategies, or a combination of the two. The different areas I focus on in therapy (not limited to) in this episode: - Working on motivation for change, as people often feel ambivalent. Understanding why you may have developed an eating disorder. Getting clear on values and diluting the link between self-worth and weight. Developing a healthier relationship with food with regular eating and a range of foods. Becoming more food neutral Dealing with emotions and developing healthy coping mechanisms. Developing awareness and insight into your thoughts and thinking patterns. Developing self-compassion and a healthy body image Boosting self-esteem and self-worth. Managing inevitable relapses. Remember, it is possible to change and to recover from an eating disorder. The road will not always be smooth and there will be many inevitable bumps on this journey. However, it is worth taking the courageous step to reach out and get help. It's also worth trying different avenues alongside including in engaging in self-help, reading recovery blogs and helpful social media, and taking a holistic approach. Recovery is possible. Hold onto hope.

In this episode, Eating Disorder recovery advocate Megsy_Recovery, interviews ED Recovery Coach Safia Muzaffar, to discuss their own experiences of their recovery and CBT-E treatment.

We've talked about sound on the show, but we have not gone this DEEP with understanding how frequencies effect the brain.To do this, I wanted to bring in a true specialist.  Someone who REALLY  understands the deeper layers of how our brains and emotions are wired.That's where Yassine comes in.  20 years in psychology and many more in computer programming.  He is a true expert for how to rewire the brain for harmonious living. In this episode we cover:* A story of addiction and depression that transformed into high-performance sailing through the use of neural stimulation* Combining different frequencies to activate self-healing mechanisms in the brain/body* How the brain is 'entrained' by external frequencies to shift consciousness* Pros & Cons of organic vs. synthetic frequency generation* The brain is a frequency vault.  An introduction to different frequency ranges associated with different states of consciousness.* How audio neural stimulation is a huge BOOST for those trying to meditate* The nature of emotions:  mastering our emotions is FREEDOM* How the reptilian brain rules the world (NOT reptilians!)* The origin of consciousness and humanity's capacity for abstract thinking* Chaos and Complexity: The revolution of society in the ancient world* The simplicity of the well-individuated human * The sweet spot of where spirituality and psychology meet (as told by the 'ship of fools')* How certain frequencies 'clean the brain' from irrational thoughts and negative patterning* the WEIRDEST experience Yassine created with neural frequency stimulation :)For more information about Yassine's work:Website:  https://www.inceptioncafebali.com/For more information about David's work:***Sign-up for a frequency attunement session HERE:***  https://www.thebladeandchalice.com/eventsFB: https://www.facebook.com/thebladeandchalice/IG: thebladeandchaliceWebsite: http://www.thebladeandchalice.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheBladeandChalice

Well, here we find ourselves at the start of a new year, following possibly the most significantly challenging one in our generations history. Dare I speak the name of the year that was 2020. Following that calamity we have to ask ourselves, what are the consequences on our children's mental health, consciously and subconsciously, in the short and long term. It's not been a topic that has been addressed a great deal, and that's exactly what we are here to do today with our special guest Carolyn Seri, a general registered Psychologist. Carolyn has worked in both the Government and Private sectors for over 15 years in a number of psychological settings including working with children, adolescents, adults and families and also psychological assessment. Carolyn has worked in a number of evidence based therapies including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Neurofeedback Therapy, Parenting Program (1-2-3 Magic Parenting) Circle of Security Program TM,  EMDR, CBT, ACT and many other evidence based therapies.  We ask Carolyn questions including: Have you noticed an increase of children's mental health presentations in your private practice in the last 12 months? How can parent's best reflect with children on the year that was and the unknowns of the year ahead, do you have any tips? What are the pros and cons of the big life experiences COVID brought our children and their overall interpretation of the pandemic? How can parents use play to help your child cope with COVID and their return to the school year? What are the consequences if we dismiss children's feelings? How can parent's best approach situations that are not likely to have a positive outcome? What can parents say to help support their child if they have a valid reason to worry? In the situation, where a parent was never taught what empathy is, how can they best be empathetic to their own children? Where should they start in helping their children feel supported and loved? On the flip side, for a parent who was taught empathy as a child, could you please share your advice for them? What kind of issues would warrant a visit to a psychologist who works with children in light of COVID-19 and its impacts?  For Carolyn's article, please go to: https://kiddipedia.com.au/psychologist-working-with-children-and-families/ For further details, please view: https://www.zingpinme.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is possible to turn negative states into positive ones. Once you accept that you CAN do this, you will begin a chain reaction to set down new ways of thinking, talking and behaving, regaining control of your life once more.Grab a notebook and pen, take action and be guided by Andrea’s Learning Alerts that provide a practical solution to your stress and anxiety.Andrea is a qualified Stress Resilience Coach, Author and Speaker.She is a Registered Nurse, has a Masters in Psychology, a Clinical Hypnosis Degree, and is qualified in Systemic Coaching, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Mindfulness.For more information…www.andreaasmith.comwww.linkedin.com/in/andreastresscoach01https://www.facebook.com/StressCoach01https://www.facebook.com/groups/698701520777344Source: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/andrea-a-smith-stress-resilience-coach-brilliance-business

Today we talk about Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, more commonly known as CBT. In this episode we are so grateful to Gemma Douthwaite and Dr Charlotte Bolt who share their insights and demystify the inner workings of this treatment model. As always, we also have our service users, this week we have Lucy and Jay who also share their own knowledge from a service user perspective. We also get to hear a little about Ruby, our therapy dog - but that's a story for next time! Just to say that in our conversation we discuss some of the options that we have used in our service. It may be the case that some of the options we have discussed may not be available in all areas, or indeed be appropriate in all treatment cases. For more information on CBT, you can go to the NHS webpage here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cognitive-behavioural-therapy-cbt/

This is Episode 16 of the VulnerABLE Podcast!At age 6 he was sent to live with his aunt, and would later endure verbal and sexual abuse. After working on himself he was able to come out of the darkness and into his light!At age 6 his parents sent him to live with his aunt, at that age he didn't understand why he was being sent away from his family. The consequences of this trauma, and at age 8 suffering sexual abuse, he did not have the tools to establish healthy development, self-confidence, self-regulation, and a pattern for developing other relationships. Years later he and his family immigrated from Kenya to Alberta the cycles of abuse continued. Their sponsor who happened to be his mom's brother and sister-in-law continually shamed him. He questioned the emotional, verbal and physical abuse endured in his early years in Canada and learned that patterns of abuse continue. All of this left him feeling confused and unsure of what his future could possibly hold for him. It would be many more years of struggling to cope with everything that had happened before he’d decide to find help. For a man who’s name literally translates to “The Light” it would take years of darkness before he could shine it upon the world. He started by working from the inside out through therapy, and learning more about how his past had affected him, he began to climb the mountains of his life instead of carrying them. This was the pivot to his transformational change to lose 200 pounds, and keeping it off.  Over the past 10 years, he has used his background in HR, and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to coach organizations and individuals to navigate change by using stories and is a sought after speaker at conferences too. He is using his light to publish his first book on job searching using LinkedIn. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to get vulnerable with Alnoor Damji.For more information on Alnoor Damji you can follow him on social media:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alnoordamji/Twitter: https://twitter.com/iamalnooryycFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001702762743Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamalnoorWebsite: https://iamalnoor.com/

Mental Health- I figured this was as good as a time as any to bring this topic to light with the holidays. We all suffer in our own ways. No one is perfect, we all have our inner battles. There are places of darkness and of light. We seek love and acceptance and we strive to be the best version of ourselves. I am very aware this is easier said than done- but when we have "hope"  - we have purpose. The focus for this podcast is on Cognitive Behavior Therapy. In a world that is creating an open dialogue and much more honest discussions about our mental health, therapy seems to be a much more common word used in daily conversations then ever before.   Short term, long term therapy, conventional, psychology, phsychiatry…you name it….we are talking about it…or at least I want us talking about it- without the stigma.   Joining me here in studio this week is Dr. Sanjay Rao, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Ottawa University and Additional Professor of Psychiatry at Dalhousie University with degrees here in Canada, India and the UK. Dr. Rao practices from a  place of identifying and treating the client both biomedically and therapeutically. He has delivered over 300 workshops in Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, presented in national and international conferences and has been published in several scientific journals. We learn about different modalities in therapy and finding what is right for you. Dr. Rao has a really interesting background and a profound passion for helping others. You can find more about his work https://cmaphealth.com/ https://unifiedcbt.com/

What if there was a quick, effective way to move through processing the trauma of your own birth or witnessing it at work, and it didn’t involve going into loads of detail? My guest today has specialist skills in how to do just that. Krysta Dancy is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Roseville, California. She is also a Doula, so this is such a special combo. I don’t think she will mind me saying that this is someone who is addicted to birth. Krysta worked as a therapist for 15 years had the same realisation that I have had – which is that birth trauma is the speciality that chose her I was excited to talk to Krysta about her knowledge of EMDR. So if you’ve never heard of it, EMDR is a therapy approach that teaches the brain to process traumatic memories as if they are not traumatic. The World Health Organisation recommends EMDR as one of the top two treatment options for trauma and PTSD. The other one is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy so I recommend you go and listen to that episode after this one, if you haven’t listened yet. Now of course, these are two recommended approaches, not the only approaches. A huge value of mine in this work is helping people find holistic support options – both for birthing people, and for the workers who may be carrying vicarious trauma in their bodies. EMDR is a pretty cool approach though and I’m looking at getting trained in it myself. I know you’ll get a lot of value out of this episode so enjoy!

Christian is an unbelievably successful business man. He worked for a global pharmaceutical company for many years, before making the transition to advertising in 2013. He took the lead of the health division at Tank which quickly became an industry standout, thanks largely to Christian’s smarts and leadership. But in the spring of 2017, a series of bad sales numbers triggered a downward spiral into mental illness that would leave him panicked, 30 pounds underweight, and unable to get out of bed. In this episode of the podcast, Christian tells Joe about his plunge into anxiety and depression, the “mental boot camp” that got him going again, his “recipe” for maintaining well-being, and how he talks about the experience with his colleagues. He also tells us why, after all that, he considers the experience a gift. Christian offers rare and inspiring examples of how corporate leaders can embody openness, humility, and courage when dealing with mental health in the workplace. His story also highlights the importance of making self-care a priority, the impact of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness meditation, and the value of understanding well-being as a skill to be developed and maintained.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is an example of a crossover with normal everyday traits albeit with a crucial difference. The first you feel compelled to do even though you don't want to, the second defines your sense of perfectionism professionalism and pride in what you do. You think it is reasonable and justified. Anxiety increases the likelihood of being held hostage to an obsession. For instance how many people suddenly become more religious under stress? OCD has its roots in the most ancient times of the evolution of species. All living organisms with self awareness need arousal in order to be motivated to acquire basic needs of survival and be alert in order to escape predators. OCD can have two components which are intrusive unpleasant thoughts (surrogate predators) and Compulsive actions such as checking cleaning washing (surrogate survival needs). OCD so simply hijaks our primitive survival circuits that it can often last decades. Clearly the fear associated with OCD is irrational and indeed research shows you are almost guaranteed never to act on unpleasant obsessional thoughts. Irrational anxiety is also seen in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Phobias. The gold standard of treatment is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (which can sometimes work alone) in combination with a medication to raise serotonin (serotonin re uptake inhibitors-SSRI).There are rapid reprocessing techniques such as EMDR (Shapiro) and Theo's own distilled version which work much faster and very effectively. There is plenty of help for sufferrers. There is helpful material online although your GP is the best gateway to licenced professionals who will be able to help you.

REBT or Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy is based on systems such as Stoicism, and in turn is the foundation for today's most popular therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Here is a quick guide to concepts such as irrational beliefs and "musturbation", and how to overturn them to a healthy and happy mind.

If you're looking for the right kind of inspiration to become all that you can be, without holding back, join Vivian today, as she encourages you to lean into the best within you and let all your actions come from a place of love and peace.   Today, Vivian ponders something that came up twice in her recent dreams- twins. After the second dream, she understood that it was telling her that two things can both be true at the same time. Today she talks about how we often make a choice, choosing one thing and disregarding the other, without considering that both could be appropriate. She talks about how healthy it is to have love as the motivation for all your actions and reminds you that no matter how big you can dream, the potential for what you can actually do is even bigger than that... but you have to be open to it, to let it happen. She also points out that it's possible for you to do your very best, and yet accept that the outcome is outside of your control. Join Vivian today and discover so much more within yourself than you have ever believed possible.   Today, Vivian talks about: How difficult it was for her to accept the idea that she deserves what she has and that she deserves even more. The inspiration she got from a conference she attended over the weekend. The question she asked herself: “Can I be all of me? Will that be okay?” Her fundamental belief that God is love. Her teachings revolving around kindness and love and taking inspired action. Opening yourself to receive more than you already have. Letting your actions spring from love and peace. Any action done in love is spiritual. Her definition of fear. How fear depletes your resources. A Cognitive Behaviour Therapy model which aligns with love being human.
