Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the intricate relationship between stress, repressed emotions, and the nervous system. She discusses how stress manifests in our bodies and minds, the impact of childhood experiences on emotional development, and the importance of radical acceptance in managing anxiety. The conversation emphasizes the need to recognize and process emotions rather than suppress them, highlighting the role of coping mechanisms and the significance of teaching our brains to feel safe. Ali encourages listeners to engage with their emotions and live their lives despite the presence of anxiety and stress. Takeaways Life is inherently stressful, affecting various aspects of our lives. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalances and various health issues. Managing stress is often oversimplified; we need deeper strategies. Repressed emotions can keep us stuck in anxiety. The nervous system interprets suppressed emotions as danger. Childhood experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms. Coping strategies often involve avoidance behaviors. Radical acceptance helps in acknowledging and processing emotions. Teaching the brain that it is safe to feel is crucial for healing. Engaging with life despite anxiety can promote emotional safety. Sound bites "How do we actually manage stress?" "Your brain and body are one thing." "Radical acceptance is not giving up."

You want the truth? Here it is: High-functioning exhaustion isn't a badge of honor, it's a fracture running straight through your sense of self.  You call it strength, call it emotional fluency, but really, it's a crisis of identity.

His writing focuses on self-improvement and a practical approach to stoic philosophy.-Quick Episode Summary:Ed Latimore discusses resilience, self-improvement, boxing, and overcoming adversity.-Key takeaways include:Resilience is built by confronting hardship, not avoiding it.

Embracing discomfort is what forges real strength—both physically and mentally.Respect trumps being liked. Ed reflects on the difference between respect and popularity, highlighting that true relationship capital is earned by standing for something, not just blending in. “Respect is an investment—you get back what you put in.”Mastering the basics and building structure beats chasing instant gratification.

Dr. Glenn and Phyllis Hill welcome their grandson, Asher Hill, to share his journey of learning and practicing the Connection Codes Core Emotion Wheel from a young age. That foundation became life-saving when, at just 14 years old, he was hit with the emotional weight of his mother's cancer diagnosis. Now 16, Asher reflects on how this tool has carried him through high school pressures, football struggles, panic attacks, and family conflicts—and even how he uses it with his girlfriend to build a safe, honest relationship. His story proves that emotional intelligence isn't just for adults—no one is too young to learn it—and that authentic communication and safe spaces for vulnerability can transform every relationship, from family to friendships to future partnerships.Chapters:(00:00:00) Introduction & Disclaimer(00:02:59) Meet Asher(00:05:14) Why Asher is on the Podcast(00:06:59) Early Memories of Connection Codes(00:08:06) Cousin Conflict(00:10:38) The "Three Sentences" Rule(00:12:56) The Core Emotion Wheel as a "Game Changer"(00:15:56) Learning as We Go(00:19:12) A Cousin-Led Resolution(00:21:44) Navigating a Mother's Illness(00:26:28) Emotional Suppression as a Coping Mechanism(00:27:32) Inhale, Exhale: The Flow of Emotions(00:29:07) The Gym Analogy for Emotions(00:30:44) The Weight of Unprocessed Feelings(00:36:11) Asher's Core Emotion Wheel(00:38:23) Using the Wheel in a RelationshipLinks and Resources:Download the Core Emotion Wheel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@connectioncodes?si=phORYBsGMOOrj9mA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find out how to become a Certified Coach:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/certified-coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find a coach:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/coaches#find-a-coach-menu⁠⁠⁠

 "I come out of this with a sense of humor, and also some toxic skills. If there's anybody out there who kind of identifies here, these skills served you when you were young. So we don't want to shame those. Like, why am I this way? Why do I respond this way? Through the therapy I've been through, I would say you have to thank that part of you. For enabling you to survive. Because without my anger, I wouldn't have survived without the ability to fight. I think self-compassion is usually the answer for sustaining long-term change where you say, you know what, thank you for that."00:00 Walking on Eggshells :The Illusion of Normalcy04:14 Hank's Childhood: A Glimpse into Family Struggles07:48 Coping Mechanisms and Survival Skills25:22 Overcoming the Past: Becoming a Change Agent31:53 Scriptural Insights on Generational Trauma43:55 The Importance of Compassion49:52 Understanding Personal Spiritual Evidence01:00:33 Final ThoughtsSeptember 5th & 6th COME BACK TO CHRIST EVENT Tickets can be purchased at: https://www.comebackpodcast.org/come-back-to-christ-event-september-5-6-utah-valley-convention-center-provo-ut-3/Come Back to Christ Event Sponsors: https://templeboundsaints.org/https://www.dfcu.com/https://www.latterdaymatchmaker.com/https://www.matthewbraidleypianos.com/https://mikesautoshack.com/Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% off https://memorjewelry.com Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

Send us a textHave you ever felt like your relationship was running on empty, like the emotional gas tank hit “E” and suddenly your partner said, “I need space”? In that moment, everything can feel terrifying. The silence. The distance. The questions you can't stop spinning in your head.But here's the truth: needing space isn't always a sign the relationship is over. More often, it's a survival response, the human need to regroup, refill, and reconnect with ourselves before we can reconnect with anyone else.In this episode of Love Shack Live, we're pulling back the curtain on what “space” really means in relationships. You'll learn:Why requests for space often happen long after the need first appearedHow ignoring our emotional capacity leads to collapse or acting outWhy coping behaviors during separation (from risky choices to pulling away) don't mean love is goneAnd most importantly: how to use this difficult pause as an opportunity for clarity and growthIf you're at a relationship crossroads, navigating conflict, distance, or a partner who says they need time apart, this conversation will help you see space in a whole new way.So here's the question: What if “I need space” isn't the end… but the invitation to a different beginning?Episode Links: They said they needed space. But the real reason isn't what you think.It's not about love fading, it's about missing skills.

While I am on vacation this summer, I thought I'd take the opportunity to expose my listeners to some other great content created by my friends and colleagues. It's my pleasure to share with you this audio essay by Maia Poet. It's called Trans: When Coping Mechanism Becomes Identity; "When an Identity Takes Root"-- Gender Identity Ideation series, part 1. It was originally published on Maia's Substack on April 22, 2025. Maia has shared her story on my podcast on episode 114. Breast-Binding in a Bomb Shelter? Maia Poet on Surviving War in the Middle East and Within. In the following audio essay, written and recorded by Maia, she does a fantastic job of explaining some concepts that are very much in alignment with my approach in ROGD Repair. Maia had hoped I would take the time to record my response thoughts in depth, but unfortunately I'm a bit too rushed getting everything ready for my vacation, so I'll just say this. The essay is fantastic; we're largely in agreement on most things; and my only real complaint about this whole piece is that she wasn't yet familiar enough with the ROGD Repair toolkit to know that when she describes a need for emotionally intelligent, strategic coaching for parents who want to protect their kids' long term health and wellbeing, this is exactly the kind of work I do... ...Which is why I've begun bringing Maia into the fold of what I'm doing with ROGD Repair. Students can access our first collaboration in this lesson. I'm looking forward to collaborating with Maia in the future. It's exciting to see how she's developing intellectually and how her parent coaching from the perspective of a young desister overlaps with the parent coaching I provide as a therapist-turned-consultant.You can follow Maia at maiapoet.substack.com.

Emotional Differentiation and Healthy Boundaries in RelationshipsIn this episode of Healing With Worth, hosts Naomi and Marquelle discuss emotional differentiation in relationships, particularly in the context of betrayal trauma. They share personal experiences and strategies for managing one's own emotions without taking on a partner's negative emotions. The hosts emphasize the importance of grounding, healthy coping mechanisms, and setting boundaries to ensure emotional safety and stability. They also touch on the challenges of dealing with partners who engage in numbing behaviors like excessive video gaming and highlight the significance of support groups in navigating these complex dynamics.00:00 Introduction to Healing With Worth00:51 Understanding Emotional Differentiation02:21 Managing Partner's Negative Emotions06:05 Setting Boundaries for Emotional Health08:35 Dealing with Gaslighting and Emotional Manipulation13:38 Coping Mechanisms and Numbing Out19:24 Creating Safety and Emotional Freedom30:23 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Send us a textComfort is slowly killing us, but we don't even recognize it as an addiction. What happens when society's most celebrated coping mechanisms become our greatest chains? In this transformative episode, I pull back the curtain on the socially acceptable addictions that hide in plain sight: food and alcohol. These aren't stereotypical addictions – they're the wine moms at PTA meetings, the neighbors hosting barbecues, the coworkers bringing donuts, all numbing themselves with substances we collectively celebrate.The neuroscience tells a clear story: food and alcohol hijack the same brain pathways, creating powerful dopamine loops that keep us coming back despite the consequences. I share my personal journey through these dependencies, revealing how childhood conditioning, identity attachment, and cultural pressure maintain our comfortable prison of numbing behaviors. The most dangerous lie? That moderation proves we're not addicted.Breaking free requires more than willpower – it demands replacing numbing habits with regulation practices and confronting the emotions we're desperately avoiding: shame, loneliness, rejection, and boredom. My two months on the carnivore diet after years of sobriety have shown me what clarity and presence truly feel like, but the path wasn't easy. When you change, expect resistance from everyone comfortable with your former self.The ultimate goal isn't just avoiding substances but creating a life so fulfilling you don't need to escape from it. Take one step today – whether that's seeking community support, establishing accountability, or simply choosing presence over numbness. Subscribe to join me on this journey toward authentic living, and remember: there's nothing more powerful than building a life worth staying present for.

Clark Fredericks' life was forever changed by one of the darkest betrayals imaginable—he was groomed and abused by his Boy Scout leader, a man who was also a respected police officer. That trauma led Clark down a destructive path filled with addiction, gambling, and mob debt. But everything came to a head years later when he ran into his abuser again… and snapped. Clark was charged with murder—but the truth behind what happened changed everything. In this emotional and raw episode, Clark opens up about the abuse, the moment he took justice into his own hands, his time behind bars, and how he's finally found peace after the storm. #TrueCrimeStory #SurvivorTestimony #PrisonRedemption #JusticeSystem #ChildAbuseAwareness #MurderToManslaughter #AbuseSurvivor #LockedInPodcast Connect with Clark Fredericks: https://konect.to/freelike-me08808 Buy his book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1668018659?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apan_dp_0BFKHXN4B89PVPJMS5Q6_1&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apan_dp_0BFKHXN4B89PVPJMS5Q6_1&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apan_dp_0BFKHXN4B89PVPJMS5Q6_1&bestFormat=true&csmig=1 Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00:00 Intro 00:06:46 The Hidden Dangers of Trust and Secrets 00:14:36 Manipulative Relationships in Childhood 00:22:33 Living in Silence 00:30:47 False Allegations and Their Consequences 00:38:59 Coping Mechanisms and Consequences 00:47:13 Navigating Youth and Self-Awareness 00:56:00 Deep in Debt: Owing the Mob $77,000 01:03:57 Face-to-Face with a Crime Family Threat 01:11:49 Struggles 01:20:33 Confronting the Past: A Return to the cop's Home 01:28:37 Confrontation with Law Enforcement 01:36:14 Prison Life and Unexpected Support 01:44:11 First Day in Prison: Challenges and Adjustments 01:52:06 Reflections on Incarceration and Release 01:59:08 An Inspirational Journey Through Adversity 02:06:37 Promoting Healing with "Scarred" Book Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.
