What if you aren't broken and don't need to be “fixed”? In Fishing Without Bait Episode 533, host Jim Ellermeyer welcomes Melissa Carey for Part 1 of a four-part conversation about mindfulness, anxiety, self-awareness, and reconnecting with ourselves. Melissa begins with a powerful reflection on learning to love who she is today. From there, she and Jim explore her belief that we are already whole, even when layers of experience, relationships, expectations, and our own self-talk make that wholeness difficult to recognize. Melissa discusses the anxiety and life transitions that often bring people looking for support and explains why listening is at the heart of her approach. Drawing from her background in music therapy and her work with sound, meditation, breathwork, and energy practices, she shares one deceptively simple starting point: notice your breath. Jim and Melissa also discuss mindfulness during both difficult and positive moments, learning from obstacles, practicing coping tools before a crisis arrives, and why sometimes the most helpful next step is simply encouraging someone to seek an impartial ear through counseling or therapy. This is Part 1 of our conversation with Melissa Carey.

The conversation focused on the return of Earshot to the festival scene, mental health in the music industry, and lessons learned from years of touring and recording. Set against the historic backdrop of a prison and referencing the Shawshank Redemption, the discussion explored how community and authenticity shape both the personal and professional aspects of a musical career.Main Topics CoveredPerforming at Incarceration Festival and its unique atmosphereThe impact and necessity of hiatuses in creative careersMental health, burnout, and finding joy in music againChallenges of the music business versus the love of music itselfThe role of authenticity and writing music for oneselfCommunity and connection within music festivals and rock cultureCoping skills and personal development outside of musicThe evolution of music promotion with streaming platformsKey Discussions & StoriesPlaying Inside a PrisonThe discussion explored the surreal experience of performing at a historical prison, adding excitement due to its association with the Shawshank Redemption and unique festival energy 00:19.Festival Crowd and CommunitySeveral points were raised, including the impressive turnout for Earshot's early slot at the festival and the well-organized, though chaotic, festival feeling 01:48.A key theme that emerged was the sense of belonging and family found within festival and rock communities, contrasting outside perceptions of mosh pits with their actual camaraderie and support 08:53.Stepping Away and Coming BackThe conversation focused on Earshot's multi-year hiatus, the reasons behind it, and the rejuvenation felt upon returning to the stage 02:50.Recharge, mental health challenges, and rediscovering passion were at the center of this break 03:29.The Music Business vs. the Love of MusicOne concept discussed was balancing the joy of creating and performing against the difficulties of the industry 04:08. "You have to love making music more than you hate the music business," was presented as a mantra for longevity 04:31.Authenticity in SongwritingThere was considerable emphasis on writing music you love rather than chasing hits, with advice for new artists to focus on authenticity 09:55.The discussion highlighted how listeners apply their own meanings to songs and the drawbacks of dictating a song's specific meaning to an audience 16:09.Coping Skills and Self-DevelopmentThe conversation explored adopting coping strategies such as focusing on what you can control and developing self-awareness through personal development and coaching 11:03.The “Should Have” TrapA key theme was eliminating the word "should" from criticism and self-talk, replacing it with "could have" to foster growth instead of conflict 12:47.Notable Quotes"You have to love making music more than you hate the music business." 04:31"Write what you love and do the best you can." 15:17"None of this shit is in my control. I'm just staying in my lane, doing what I do." 10:51"Music's the best therapy, the best uniter, especially this genre." 08:46"If artists aren't having fun playing up there, what are you doing in this business?" 04:41"You could have shoulda all over yourself." 12:45"The best songs also the audience puts their own meaning to, right? They just have to feel." 15:35Resources & Links MentionedEarshot Website: earshotband.comSocial Media: @EarshotBand across platformsStreaming: Find Earshot on Spotify, Apple Music, and other major services.

Send us Fan MailThe hardest part of being a helper isn't learning the tools. It's living them when your own life is loud, crowded, and messy. Beth sits down with psychologist and coach Dr. Gerry “Dr. Sunshine” Novak for a real conversation about why competent therapists, coaches, and high-achievers can still feel stuck in self-sabotage, overcommitment, and a constant hum of chaos. We dig into the pattern Gerry sees in himself: things finally calm down, then he fills the space with something that looks different but ends the same way. His “sweet tooth” metaphor makes it painfully clear how we swap one stressor for another and only recognize the pattern in hindsight. From leadership headaches to fixer habits, we talk boundaries, burnout, and the hidden cost of being addicted to feeling needed. Then we reframe self-compassion and stress management with a practical lens: the right amount of stress is the amount you can recover from. That single idea changes how you set goals, build routines, and choose commitments that support mental health instead of draining it. We also touch imposter syndrome, why credentials don't quiet it, and how to create meaningful work anyway. If this resonates, share it with a helper who's carrying too much, and please subscribe, leave a review, and tell us what boundary you're practicing this week.This podcast is meant to be a resource for the general public, as well as fellow therapists/psychologists. It is NOT meant to replace the meaningful work of individual or family therapy.

Cold Open Transcript: Gabe Howard: Any barrier, even a few-second one, can really help curb impulsive behavior. Maybe before you buy something, you wander around the block real quick. Maybe before you go home with that person, you go to the bathroom and splash water on your face. Maybe before you yell, you count to three. Impulsive behavior comes in all shapes and sizes and everybody's different and everybody has different tolerance levels, etc., so it's, it's really hard to find coping skills for something that is analogous to a bomb, right? It's everything's fine. Poof! Right. And now it's like, what's the coping skill for that?

Summer is here and so is the quiet disconnection that comes with it. Longer days, busier schedules, kids home, and somehow you and your partner are co-managing the season instead of actually connecting. In this episode, licensed therapist Vanessa De Jesus Guzman sits down with Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Sheila Arias to talk about how couples rebuild emotional closeness through small, intentional moments, not grand gestures, not perfect timing, just presence.EPISODE DESCRIPTIONWhy emotional disconnection is common in long-term relationshipsHow judgment and comparison quietly erode intimacyThe role of curiosity and compassion in strengthening emotional bondsWhy small, consistent moments matter more than grand gesturesHow structure and intentionality support connection and intimacyThe importance of physical affection beyond sexual intimacyTUNE IN TO LEARNHow to rebuild emotional connection without blaming yourself or your partnerSimple communication tools couples can practice right awayWhy emotional intimacy fades and how to restore it intentionallyHow scheduling connection can still feel meaningful and authenticWays to reconnect that fit real life, not unrealistic relationship idealsCONNECT WITH SHEILAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheilaariaslmftTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sheilaariaslmftWebsite: https://www.compasiontherapy.comTAKEAWAY MESSAGERebuilding emotional connection isn't about fixing your relationship or judging where you are.

Want more plays to help you stay mentally strong? Pick up a copy of ⁠The Mental Strength Playbook⁠. Have you ever tried a mental strength strategy that everyone swears by, and it didn't work for you? Maybe you tried to meditate in the middle of a panic attack and felt worse, or started a gratitude journal while your life was falling apart and just ended up feeling guilty about your list. The same coping skills that saves you in one moment can backfire in another. Fortunately, you can sharpen your ability to reach for the right coping skill at the right time once you know how. Some of the things I talk about are: Why the strategy that "doesn't work for you" might just be the right tool used at the wrong time. The friend whose gratitude journal, packed weekend schedule, and constant busyness looked like strength from the outside—but were actually keeping her stuck. How three plays we talk about all the time on this show can backfire, and the exact moments when each one turns from helpful to harmful. Why "What's the best mental health technique?" is the wrong question—and the better one to ask instead. How to run the same problem through your thoughts, your emotions, and your actions so you always have more than one way in. The three-step Pause, Pick, Play process for choosing the right play in the moment—even when your usual go-to isn't working.

My daughter turned two this month. I watched her eat her birthday cake with zero regard for the mess, completely absorbed in the moment, not thinking about what was next. Just entirely, joyfully present. And somewhere between the frosting and the candles, I thought about how we all used to know how to do that, and somewhere along the way, every quiet moment became a to-do list. This episode is one of the most personal things I've ever shared on the podcast. It's about a miracle pregnancy I didn't see coming, the season of life that shaped it, and the deeper question underneath all of it: when did we stop asking ourselves what we actually want? What You'll Learn ✅ Why the fourth trimester puts your wants in a drawer — and why so many of us forget to take them back out ✅ How borrowed wants from social media and comparison quietly replace our real ones ✅ Why adjusting your wants to fit your current season is strategy, not failure ✅ The I Want Practice: a simple quarterly exercise to reconnect with what's actually yours ✅ What watching a two-year-old can teach a high-achieving mom about permission Chapters00:00 Birthday Cake Presence00:43 Podcast Welcome Setup01:21 IVF Panic Turning Point03:23 Letting Go And New Life04:46 When Wants Change05:32 Motherhood Survival Mode07:27 Borrowed Wants Pressure09:12 Seasons And Realistic Goals11:19 Village Support Constraints13:08 Quarterly I Want Practice16:17 Toddlers Teach Desire18:44 Homework And Closing Send us Fan MailSupport the showNJ RESIDENTS, WORK WITH VANESSA Book a free 15-minute therapy consultation https://www.freetobemindful.com/contact LET'S STAY CONNECTED

Today, Peggy talks with Daniel Gaylor, LCSW, OSW-C, ACHP-SW, and a social work supervisor at Moffitt Cancer Center, about what happens after patients and caregivers get through the intense treatment period and begin asking, “Now what?” Daniel explains that recovery does not mean life snaps back to normal. Survivorship brings fear, relief, hope, uncertainty, and exhaustion all at once. Those reactions are normal, and they deserve to be named. Daniel explains why post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can show up after transplant. A transplant is not a routine treatment. It can involve long hospital stays, isolation, major physical side effects, and real fears about survival. When patients return for follow up visits, they may be brought back emotionally to those difficult hospital days. This can make survivorship feel complicated, even when the transplant was successful. Another key theme is slowly letting go. Patients may feel afraid to go out, socialize, eat in a restaurant, drive, or return to activities they once enjoyed. Daniel encourages survivors to start small and to be fair to the situation. It is easy to imagine the worst case. But it also helps to keep yourself honest - say out loud what could happen if things go well. The episode also addresses the “strain of worry.” Daniel describes signs of anxiety and depression, including sleep problems, racing thoughts, trouble concentrating, irritability, sadness, appetite changes, and not wanting to do things that usually bring joy. He reminds listeners that difficult days do not mean failure. Survivors should be able to say, “Today is not my best day,” and ask for help. Peggy and Daniel also talk about toxic positivity. While loved ones often mean well, phrases like “you're lucky to be alive” can minimize a survivor's fear or pain. Daniel encourages honest communication. Patients can thank loved ones for their support while also explaining what would help more. Social connection is another major part of healing. Daniel urges survivors and caregivers to increase connection and reduce isolation. A quick text, a short call, a support group, or a shared conversation can make a real difference. Peggy highlights programs where survivors can meet others who understand graft versus host disease (GVHD) and transplant recovery. Daniel closes with the idea of building a “tool belt.” Each person needs practical coping tools, whether that is a friend, music, journaling, counseling, mindfulness, a book, or a favorite place to reset. Caregivers need their own tool belts too. Transplant affects the whole support system, and survivorship works best when people communicate, ask for help, and remember they are not meant to do this alone.

Seven years ago, a mom broke down in front of her during a home visit, and that one moment cracked open everything. Not a business plan. Not a five-year roadmap. Just a clear, quiet knowing that moms needed support too, and that she was going to be the one to build it. What came next was seven years of showing up without a blueprint, figuring it out season by season, and learning that intention carries you further than any plan ever could.What You'll Learn:✅ Why knowing your why holds everything together when the how is still completely unclear✅ What fifteen years of marriage and seven years of business have quietly taught her about what it actually means to nurture something✅ How allowance, not pushing harder, is what's made the most room for real growth✅ What it costs to want to do everything at once, and what her kids keep pulling her back to✅ A guided reflection to help you name what you're nurturing right now and what it would mean to bring intention, allowance, and compassion to itChapters00:00 Maycember Kickoff01:41 15 Years Married02:25 Seven Years Mindful02:35 Origin Story 201804:17 From Hustle to Shift05:46 No Blueprint Needed06:34 Intention as North Star07:48 Allowance and Evolution08:41 Collective and New Baby10:15 Compassion and Presence11:31 Trusting Whats Next12:34 Gratitude and Thanks13:57 Invitation to Work Together14:28 Reflection and ClosingSend us Fan MailSupport the showNJ RESIDENTS, WORK WITH VANESSA Book a free 15-minute therapy consultation https://www.freetobemindful.com/contact LET'S STAY CONNECTED

Free Guided Meditation for Calming Your Anxious Mind 10-Minute Body-Scan Meditation for AnxietyQuote:I've had a great many troubles in my life, most of which never happened.-Mark TwainSummaryIn this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, we delve into the pervasive habit of mental rehearsal that many anxious individuals engage in, often unconsciously. I share insights on how we tend to fixate on potential troubles—running through endless scenarios in our minds of what could go wrong. A significant focus of our discussion centers around the pitfalls of this "rehearsing trouble" practice, which can include anticipating rejection, imagining illnesses, and preparing for losses that may never occur. This mental activity not only stirs up unnecessary distress but also physically manifests in our bodies, leading to symptoms of anxiety and panic, all triggered by thoughts of events that haven't taken place.I emphasize the need to recognize that this script of catastrophic thinking doesn't serve our well-being. Instead, it often exacerbates feelings of unease and panic over situations that remain purely theoretical in our minds. The brain, in its protective nature, believes that rehearsing these painful scenarios will keep us safe, but I challenge this notion, questioning whether this form of preparation genuinely benefits us or simply weighs us down with borrowed suffering.Throughout our conversation, I share the metaphor of "mental rehearsal of catastrophe," shedding light on how this habit can lead to what I call "nervous system fatigue." The toll it takes on our energy and peace of mind is a significant concern. I reflect on how often we miss out on the present moment in our attempts to prepare for every possible outcome—a loss that may be even more painful than any future hardship itself. While anxiety can make us feel hyper-vigilant, I encourage listeners to find a way to detach from that excessive vigilance that proves exhausting and intrusive.#AnxietyRecovery, #MentalHealth, #Mindfulness, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #BorrowedSuffering, #Presence, #Resilience, #SelfCare, #MentalWellbeing, #Catastrophizing, #InnerPeace, #OvercomingAnxiety, #NervousSystemHealing, #Grounding, #StressManagement, #EmotionalWellness, #LivingInTheNow, #PositivePsychology, #SelfTrust, #WorryPostponement, #MentalRehearsal, #AnticipatoryAnxiety, #EmotionalRegulation, #MindBodyConnection, #Vagus nerve, #CalmConscious, #StopWorrying, #PanicAttackRecovery, #InnerCalm, #AnxiousMind, #SelfCompassion, #HolisticHealing, #NervousSystemRegulation, #PeaceOfMind, #MentalClarity, #CopingSkills, #PersonalGrowth, #WellnessJourney, #HealingJourney, #MindfulLiving, #OvercomingFear, #PsychologyTips, #CognitiveReframing, #MentalStrength, #InnerStrength, #Tranquility, #HealthAnxiety, #SocialAnxiety, #SelfSoothing #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Bonnie and Ricky dive into the topic of coping! They talk about healthy ways to cope, and how important it is to rely on God even when we are trying to cope through tough and painful things.

Dr. Antonio Pascual-Leone is an expert on change. He's spent over a 10 years studying how change happens across different therapy models. Turns out there are only 5 types of changes. Down regulation Emotional awareness Deeping emotion to make new meaning, Changing emotion and Cognitive reframing. Therapists often get stuck when clients need one type of change (i.e. emotional awareness) but a therapist is using a model which specializes in another type of change (ie cognitive reframing). In this interview we discuss the 5 types of change, talk about when to use them, and more importantly when NOT to use them.

Coping skills, CBT, and positive thinking fail because they treat symptoms, not the childhood emotional blueprint that creates your triggers. Kenny Weiss, creator of the Emotional Authenticity Method, explains why your brain predicts danger based on past trauma rather than reacting to the present — and how to use metacognition to rewire the root cause. This is part of a 10-video Emotional Regulation series.In this video, we dive into the neuroscience of emotional regulation to reveal why deep breathing, journaling, and traditional coping skills are just a Band-Aid over open-heart surgery. You cannot out-think a feeling. Your trauma doesn't live in your thoughts; it lives in your nervous system.Using the latest neuroscience, I explain how your brain uses your childhood emotional blueprint to predict the present, locking you into the Worst-Day Cycle (Trauma, Fear, Shame, Denial). If you are tired of merely surviving your triggers, I will teach you the 4-step Emotional Authenticity Method to activate metacognition, stop managing your symptoms, and start rewiring your brain at the root level.You aren't broken. You are programmed. And programming can be rewritten.⏱️ CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Why Your Coping Skills & CBT Are Failing 1:30 - The Neuroscience of Emotional Triggers (Prediction vs. Reaction) 7:13 - The Worst-Day Cycle™ Explained 12:03 - The Sled Track Metaphor (Why You Feel Stuck) 16:18 - Somatic Regulation and 4 Questions to Regulate Your Emotions at the Root 25:22 - How to Rewire Your Emotional Blueprint & Reclaim Your Power

Send in a question or comment via text.Anxious people love coping skills and coping strategies. Everybody loves to cope. But today we're going to talk about how coping can go off the rails and become part of the problem instead of part of the solution.When you're dealing with chronic anxiety or an anxiety disorder, coping strategies can actually backfire. Every time you frantically reach for your grounding techniques or breathing exercises because you desperately need to calm down, you might be reinforcing the belief that your internal state is dangerous and must be controlled at all costs. If you've been stuck in the trigger-cope-trigger-cope cycle for months or years and you're still terrified of the next episode, something isn't working.This episode breaks down the difference between internally and externally generated anxiety, and why that matters when we talk about coping. We'll look at how coping can create conditional okayness that shrinks your life, and we'll explore what it might look like to use coping techniques as brave experiments instead of frightened control attempts.This is a challenging topic, but if you've been wondering why all your coping skills don't seem to be moving you forward, this episode might help you understand what's actually happening.For full show notes on this episode:https://theanxioustruth.com/332Support The Anxious Truth: If you find the podcast helpful and want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.

Once we learn to touch this peace, we will be healed and transformed.-Thich Nhat HanhChapters0:26 Introduction to Inner Peace2:43 Constructing Your Inner Refuge5:38 Breathing Into Calm8:26 Strengthening Your Sanctuary10:50 Filling Your Sanctuary with Nourishment13:23 Caring for Your Inner Space14:39 Returning to Your Calm Center16:25 Conclusion and ReflectionSummaryIn this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the concept of finding calm within ourselves by constructing a personal inner sanctuary designed specifically for anxiety relief. I explore the notion that the safest and most peaceful space we can inhabit is always accessible, regardless of external circumstances. My aim is to guide you in recognizing and nurturing the inherent peace that resides within you, often overshadowed by the distractions and chaos of daily life.We unpack the societal tendency to seek solace outside ourselves, pointing out how this quest can lead to a perpetual state of frustration and anxiety. The illusion of external control can be exhausting, pulling our attention away from the wealth of tranquility that already exists within. I emphasize that while life presents challenges and unpredictability, we can create a steady inner refuge—a sanctuary that offers steadfast calm amidst the storms of external chaos. This inner space allows us to cultivate resilience and strength, enabling us to respond thoughtfully rather than reactively to the world around us.As we begin this journey of building your inner sanctuary, I invite you to take a moment to visualize what this safe space may look like for you. Through gentle breaths and mindfulness techniques, we focus on grounding ourselves and returning to our bodies, fostering a sense of safety in the present moment. I encourage you to engage with sensory details that evoke feelings of peace, whether through the sound of water, the warmth of sunlight, or simply the natural rhythm of your breath. Each element you envision becomes a powerful anchor that helps your nervous system recognize tranquility.#InnerSanctuary, #AnxietyRelief, #FindYourCalm, #MentalWellness, #InnerPeace, #Mindfulness, #GinaRyan, #TheAnxietyCoachesPodcast, #SelfCompassion, #Breathe, #QuietStrength, #InnerRefuge, #ZenLiving, #MentalHealthMatters, #StopReactingStartResponding, #CopingSkills, #WorryFree, #MindBodyConnection, #MeditationPractice, #EmotionalSafety, #PresentMoment, #ThichNhatHanh, #TraumaInformed, #NervousSystemRegulationSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
