In this episode, we sit down with writing coach and industry strategist Nick Jobe for a conversation that moves well beyond the professional. He shares openly about growing up with fear and health anxiety, the impact of early emotional neglect, and the long process of stepping into personal responsibility and self-worth. We explore how EMDR helped him rewire long-held patterns, how COVID became a catalyst for questioning mainstream narratives, and why he draws a hard line when it comes to using AI in creative work. This is a conversation about value, alignment, and what it takes to stop living at odds with yourself…personally, relationally, and vocationally.Time Stamps 02:19 - Nick Jobe: The Writing Coach 03:18 - The Journey of Fear and Imagination 11:35 - Navigating Growth Through Adversity 16:32 - Transitioning Life in Los Angeles 24:38 - Navigating Trauma and Healing 28:42 - Reframing Trauma and EMDR Therapy 35:12 - The Value Explosion: A Journey to Self-Worth 42:20 - The Awakening: Understanding Media Influence 48:32 - Disrupting the Entertainment Industry 57:02 - The Weaponization of Humility in the Entertainment Industry 01:02:20 - The Impact of AI on Artistic Integrity 01:04:47 - The Impact of AI on Artistic Expression 01:10:57 - The Impact of Language Models on Creative Writing 01:16:08 - The Value of Personal Creativity 01:23:18 - The Impact of AI on Creativity 01:26:15 - Navigating Creative Blocks and Tools Guest Linkshttps://www.pageonetv.com/https://www.beyondthescript.tv/Connect with UsSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

Leaving a Narcissistic Parent // How to Emotionally Distance from a Narcissistic Parent This episode came from a YouTube listener's question on how to leave a narcissistic relationship — and for me, that brought up one of the hardest experiences I've worked through: leaving a narcissistic parent. In this episode, I share my personal story of growing up with a narcissistic parent and what the emotional process of leaving really looked like — because it wasn't clean, it wasn't quick, and it definitely didn't happen all at once.   These relationships aren't just painful — they're confusing. A narcissistic parent relationship can blur your sense of self so much that you don't even realise how far you've lost your voice until you start to get it back. Here's what I share in this episode: Why leaving a narcissistic parent feels emotionally impossible A personal story from one of the most painful moments of my life — and how my dad's reaction made everything painfully clear How shame, guilt, and emotional manipulation kept me stuck for years Why therapy became the turning point — and what it felt like to hear a professional say, “It's not you.” What rebuilding self-trust actually looked like (and why I couldn't do it alone) If you're in a relationship with a narcissistic parent where everything is always about them, where your feelings are minimized, and you constantly question yourself — please know: You are not too sensitive. You're not broken. And you are not alone. This isn't about blame. It's about choosing your mental health. It's about honoring your truth — even when that means walking away from someone who was supposed to love you. Recommendations from this episode //

Whether you're a therapist or a client, we unpack how people-pleasing, boundary-setting, and emotional safety intersect during trauma processing. Along with EMDRIA Certified Therapist and Consultant, Katie Quinlan, CMCH, we will discuss how therapists can hold space for authenticity over politeness and support clients in unlearning the pressure to perform niceness, especially when healing from trauma rooted in those expectations.ResourcesWhat Is EMDR Therapy?Online EMDR Therapy ResourcesIntroduction to EMDR Therapy (video), EMDRIA, 2020Go With That Magazine® (member login required to view complete articles)Guerra, K.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing was only created in the late 20th century, but it's since established itself as a popular and increasingly used form of therapy. EMDR is especially recommended for children and adults dealing with trauma from physical or psychological violence, such as sexual abuse. It was discovered relatively recently in 1987, but that doesn't mean it's an alternative treatment; it's a clinically proven approach. According to charity PTSD UK: “One study showed up to 90% of single-trauma victims no longer have PTSD after only 3 90-minute sessions.” How does it work? How was it discovered?

When I work with parents, they ask me, have I done it right? Did I do something wrong? How could I have done it better? There is a lot of self-reflection, which is really healthy. But I'm also mindful of the emotional burden that adoptive parents carry all the time. ~Crystal Luk-Worrall Hi Neighbor, EMDR therapy for kids? Yes! Initially, for soldiers with PTSD, this therapy helps children process memories, especially those who can't verbalize trauma. Today, I want to welcome my neighbor from London, Crystal Luk-Worrall. Crystal is a music therapist, EMDR practitioner, and clinical supervisor specializing in helping children and families heal from early trauma.  Understanding trauma is crucial. Crystal shares how EMDR therapy, eye movement desensitization, and reprocessing, can help adoptive children and their families process these memories for a brighter future. Anchors of Hope and Healing are on the way. Your Neighbor, Tim P.S. You're not alone in this journey. If you haven't joined our private community, consider this an invitation. It's a safe space to share your struggles and triumphs with fellow adoptive parents who truly understand what you're going through.

Hey Warriors Unmasked family, Chuck here! I'm so excited to bring you this incredible conversation with Robert Grigore, a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Certified EMDR Therapist, and author of You Need Therapy: EMDR – Real People with Real Problems Getting Real Help. If you've ever wondered how trauma impacts your mental health or how you can heal from it, this episode is a must-listen. Robert's groundbreaking work in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy has transformed the lives of over 1,000 individuals, including CEOs, athletes, and even high-profile celebrities. In this episode, we dive deep into how EMDR works, why it's so effective, and how it can help you overcome the emotional baggage that might be holding you back. Key Takeaways from Robert's Insights: What is EMDR? Robert explains how EMDR isn't just another talk therapy—it's a structured process that helps you rewire your brain and nervous system. By addressing the root causes of trauma, EMDR allows you to release the emotional weight of past experiences in as little as three days. Understanding Trauma: Trauma isn't just about major life events; it can stem from smaller, repeated experiences that make us feel powerless. Robert shares how these "small T traumas" can shape our beliefs and patterns, often without us realizing it. Breaking Patterns: Robert highlights how our subconscious patterns can keep us stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or self-doubt. EMDR helps identify and reprogram these patterns, freeing us to live a more joyful and fulfilling life. Chuck's Personal Experience with EMDR During this conversation, I shared my own transformative journey with EMDR therapy and how Robert's work helped me let go of decades-old emotional pain. After just a few sessions, I can confidently say that past traumas no longer hold power over me. If you've been carrying a heavy emotional load, I encourage you to explore this life-changing therapy. Robert's Mission and Resources Robert's passion for mental health shines through in his work as the founder of Grigore Counselling & Associates and his podcast, The Mental Health Show with Robert Grigore. Through his innovative Total Immersion EMDR approach, Robert has redefined how quickly and effectively people can heal. His book, You Need Therapy, is a fantastic resource for anyone curious about EMDR or seeking to better understand their mental health.

During my teenage years, I was volunteering with a local rape crisis center which is when my passion started for helping people heal from trauma. For the past 9 years I have experience working in clinical mental health settings. My favorite part about being a therapist is seeing people regain their life back. A traumatic event can have an enormous impact on the way people feel ashamed about what happened, unsafe in the world, and voiceless. As a trauma-informed therapist I treat PTSD, anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and issues with body image. Healing Loudly can help you release the pain of your past and live fully in the present moment.  I provide EMDR therapy in Fort Myers, FL and virtually across Florida. If you are ready to start your healing journey, give me a call or send me an email to schedule your first therapy session.  ____________________________ Welcome to The Well Community!
