Politically Entertaining with Evolving Randomness (PEER) by EllusionEmpire
Send us a textJames Rojas Taylor explains how acting techniques and tools can provide all of us with mental and emotional literacy, giving us skills to navigate life more effectively in any situation. He argues that these powerful methods have been overlooked outside the acting profession despite their life-changing potential to help us understand ourselves better.• The Stanislavski System features seven questions that help ground us in the moment: who am I, where am I, when is it, what do I want, why do I want it, how do I get it, what do I need to overcome• Our educational system programs us to think and act the same way rather than teaching us how to be authentic individuals• Acting tools can help create "multiple versions of yourself" that allow you to adapt to different situations with different authentic responses• Children should be taught emotional literacy before adolescence to better navigate that challenging period• The "It factor" consists of five learnable skills: active listening, charm, intensity, generosity, and poise• Politics often functions as a distraction from class struggles, keeping people fighting among themselves rather than addressing systemic issues• Taylor's book "All Your Best Selves" offers practical exercises for developing mental and emotional literacyCheck out James Rojas Taylor's book "All Your Best Selves" on Amazon, available in both digital and paperback formats.Follow James Rojas Taylor atWebsitehttps://www.tbcenterprises.com/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@SOICANDIEInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/soicandie/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@soicandie1?lang=enSupport the showFollow your host atYouTube and Rumble for video contenthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUxk1oJBVw-IAZTqChH70aghttps://rumble.com/c/c-4236474Facebook to receive updateshttps://www.facebook.com/EliasEllusion/Twitter (yes, I refuse to call it X)https://x.com/politicallyht LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliasmarty/

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter opens up a meaningful conversation on men, emotional literacy and breaking the silence. Men take notice not just for yourself, but for your kids, particularly your sons.In this deep dive, we'll answer the question: What is emotional literacy?Essentially it is the ability to identify what you are feeling.Ability to make sense of it.Be able to express it in a way that builds connection rather than creating conflict, especially toxic conflict.HERE IS THE KICKER: Most men were never taught how to do that, but even given leeway to suppress those emotions and do the opposite. By doing this it isolates men from themselves and reactivity becomes the default.This week's gratitude shout-out is to our listeners in Zambia, Africa.

Have a question for the show? Text us here!Finding sustainable joy in teaching begins by rejecting toxic positivity and embracing emotional literacy. Teaching with emotional honesty fosters deeper connections and authentic classroom experiences without sacrificing professionalism.Toxic positivity denies real emotional experiences and keeps educators stuck in stress cycles.Emotional literacy is about recognizing, feeling, and honoring emotions in real time without judgment.Processing emotions is a powerful way to relieve stress and lighten the load on your nervous system.Many educators wear an "emotional uniform" — forced smiles and controlled voices — that hinder real connection.Taking off this emotional uniform doesn't mean oversharing; it's about being honest with yourself first.True happiness is a practice, not a mask; it's a muscle that strengthens over time.Classroom breakthroughs happen when teachers show their authentic selves, allowing students to connect with their humanity.Joy comes from embracing all emotions, not from pushing away the difficult ones.Ready to move from surviving to THRIVING?

In this episode of the Addict to Athlete podcast, host Blu Robinson engages with Gary Katz, a professional in the field of sexual addictions. They explore the complexities of addiction, particularly sexual addiction, and its impact on individuals and relationships. Katz discusses the spectrum of addiction, the stigma surrounding sexual behaviors, and the deep emotional wounds caused by betrayal. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, understanding values, and navigating the healing process for both individuals struggling with addiction and their partners. In this conversation, Gary Katz and Blu Robinson delve into the complexities of healing from betrayal in relationships. They discuss the timeline for recovery, the importance of emotional literacy, and the challenges of reestablishing intimacy after infidelity. The dialogue emphasizes the need for couples to navigate trust issues, the dynamics of sexual desire, and the impact of conflict and resentment on intimacy. Katz highlights the significance of individual and couples therapy in fostering understanding and healing, while also addressing the societal pressures that complicate emotional expression, particularly for men. Takeaways Addiction is a form of self-abandonment. The stigma surrounding sexual addiction is profound. Betrayal trauma cuts deeper than other forms of addiction. Self-compassion is crucial in the recovery process. Understanding one's values is essential in addressing sexual behaviors. The partner's perspective is often overlooked in discussions of addiction. Shame plays a significant role in how individuals perceive their sexual behaviors. Healthy relationships require open communication about sexual needs. The brain often protects itself from painful truths, leading to denial. Navigating recovery involves addressing both individual and relational dynamics. It can take 18 to 24 months for healing. Healing is a personal journey; there's no race. Betrayed partners often seek knowledge to feel safe. Understanding betrayal trauma is crucial for recovery. Empathy is harder to learn than stopping harmful behaviors. Reestablishing intimacy requires patience and understanding. Couples need to prioritize their relationship amidst life demands. Conflict can be a sign of passion in relationships. 00:00- Introduction to the Addict to Athlete Podcast 01:00- Understanding Sexual Addictions and Their Impact 04:44- The Spectrum of Addiction: Self-Abandonment and Connection 08:26- The Deeper Cuts of Sexual Betrayal 11:20- The Stigma of Sexual Addiction 13:14- The Complexity of Shame in Sexual Behaviors 18:09- Navigating Values and Sexuality 21:12- The Partner's Perspective: Betrayal and Healing 27:59- Understanding the Healing Process 30:39- Navigating Betrayal and Trust 34:24- Reestablishing Intimacy After Betrayal 39:12- The Dynamics of Sexual Desire 45:13- Conflict, Resentment, and Intimacy 50:20- Emotional Literacy and Recovery Please join Addict to Athlete's Patreon support page and help us turn the mess of addiction into the message of sobriety! https://www.patreon.com/addicttoathlete Please visit our website for more information on Team Addict to Athlete and Addiction Recovery Podcasts. https://www.AddictToAthlete.org Join the Team!

Welcome to the Arete Coach Podcast, hosted by Severin Sorensen. In this episode, recorded via Zoom on November 27, 2024, we are joined by Dr. Patrick Williams with an episode titled "Unlocking Coaching Mastery." Dr. Williams is a pioneer in the coaching profession, Master Certified Coach (MCC), and founder of the Institute for Life Coach Training (ILCT). Dr. Williams has been instrumental in shaping the coaching industry, serving on the International Coaching Federation (ICF) board and being honored as an inaugural member of the ICF Circle of Distinction. Dr. Williams' journey began in humanistic and transpersonal psychology, where he recognized a gap between traditional therapy and coaching. His passion for coaching, mentoring, and emotional literacy led him to establish a training school that has impacted thousands of professionals worldwide. Beyond coaching, his work focuses on metaphors in coaching, emotional literacy, and the power of silence in deep conversations. The Power of Silence in Coaching Dr. Williams emphasizes the importance of pausing and active listening. He advises coaches to resist the urge to fill silence and instead allow clients space to process. This approach leads to more profound client insights and transformation. Emotional Literacy vs. Emotional Intelligence While Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is widely recognized, Dr. Williams advocates for Emotional Literacy, which emphasizes not just understanding emotions but also expressing them in a meaningful way. His Emotional Literacy Academy provides tools for self-awareness, authenticity, and deeper communication. The Role of Metaphors in Coaching Metaphors help clients describe challenges and uncover solutions in ways that resonate deeply. Dr. Williams encourages coaches to listen for natural metaphors and explore their meanings rather than imposing interpretations. Mentorship, Legacy, and Lifelong Learning Dr. Williams discusses the importance of mentorship, continuous learning, and leaving a living legacy. He highlights the concept of "switch mentoring," where experienced professionals learn from younger individuals while imparting wisdom in return. As an author, speaker, and mentor, Dr. Williams continues to inspire coaches and leaders through his commitment to lifelong learning, curiosity, and personal growth.
