In this episode, we explore a fascinating study from the University of Luxembourg where large language models pushed through simulated talk therapy developed severe anxiety and false childhood memories. We break down why conflating statistical next-token prediction with human physiology is bad science, why endless conversational talk therapy can keep traumatic loops alive, and how targeted hypnotherapy uses clean language and double dissociation to neutralize old survival patterns safely without implanting false narratives.Read the accompanying blog post: https://markstubbles.com/2026/09/the-ai-on-the-couch-why-comparing-llm-hallucinations-to-precision-inner-child-hypnosis-is-bad-science/Sign up for the upcoming Inner Child Workshop: https://markstubbles.com/pop/

It is healing on its own.” “Most of the people on this planet do have psychic ability, and this is our natural ability.” “This is how you develop your intuition in a very natural way.”

Daniel Everett, professor of cognitive sciences at Bentley University and author of Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share what 30 years living among the Pirahã people of the Amazon taught him about happiness, fear, and the stories Western culture tells itself. He arrived as an evangelical missionary. He left a changed man.The Pirahã have no suicide, no panic attacks, no depression, and no word for the past they refuse to carry. In this episode, Daniel breaks down exactly how they live, and what the rest of us might be doing wrong.KEY TAKEAWAYS03:19 Daniel went to the Amazon to convert the Pirahã — and calls his failure the best thing that ever happened to him. 05:15 When Daniel described suicide to the Pirahã, they burst out laughing. They had never heard of such a thing. 09:47 A Stanford psychologist measured Pirahã happiness the simplest way possible — by tracking how often they laugh and smile. 17:27 The only behaviors the Pirahã consider unacceptable are losing your temper, violence, and forcing others against their will. 34:21 The Pirahã live entirely in the present — not talking about the past or future is a deliberate cultural value, built into their language. 36:07 Pirahã verbs carry a built-in suffix that marks whether an event is in your control or out of it — a distinction that shapes how they relate to life. 37:20 Every few months, Pirahã people change their names after a significant event — a practical way to leave the past behind and become someone new. 43:16 The Pirahã's self-confidence, resilience, and fearlessness in the face of genuine daily danger ultimately cost Daniel his Christian faith. 47:50 The Pirahã openly saw and described an entity on the riverbank that Daniel, standing beside them, could not see at all. 54:00 Daniel's takeaway from three decades in the Amazon: when you're underwater, keep walking. You will reach the bank.If you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book

Nancy Rynes, author of Awakenings from the Light, Walking in the Light, and Messages from Heaven, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share what happened when a distracted driver ran her over on a Colorado bike path, dragged her 50 feet, and left her with over 100 bone fractures — and what she experienced on the other side. A former scientist and committed atheist, Nancy returned from her near-death experience with a radically transformed understanding of consciousness, the soul, and what she now calls "home."In this episode, Nancy walks through her life review, her spirit guide's beyond-telepathic communication, why she refuses to call it the "afterlife," and the daily practices that keep her connected to source energy a decade after her recovery.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:10 Consciousness can split during trauma — Nancy experienced the accident from two simultaneous vantage points.16:33 A mysterious trauma nurse held Nancy down at the scene, almost certainly preventing her death from a broken neck.27:00 During her NDE, Nancy began remembering that Earth is the simulation, not home.31:42 The life review was the most transformative part — she experienced every event from the perspective of everyone involved.34:06 Thoughts carry energy that extends beyond the skull and affect the people and situations around you.37:11 Communication in the NDE was beyond telepathic — feelings, history, and meaning transmitted in an instant.41:10 We plan our lives at a high level before arriving, including a pre-agreed willingness to experience difficulty.45:11 Nancy's father appeared at the foot of her bed at the exact moment of his death, 250 miles away.54:55 Nancy's bones healed in four weeks despite over 100 fractures — her doctors were stunned.58:07 The heart is the direct channel to source, and 15 minutes of genuine gratitude or love can shift your entire state.If you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book

You can't manifest a new life while you're still living inside an old identity. Transformational coach and hypnotherapist Jim Curtis has worked with entrepreneurs and public figures on the pattern behind their stuck points. He calls it release, align, become, a framework built to break the subconscious programming running your life. It starts with forgiveness. Not the version where you forgive everyone else. The version where you look yourself in the mirror and say I'm sorry first. Your subconscious can't build a life it doesn't believe you deserve. Chase the money or the relationship hard enough without changing the belief underneath it, and it finds a way to hand it back. This episode gets into imposter syndrome in high achievers, the Three Gs of grounding, giving, and gratitude, and the exact prayer Jim uses to settle his own fear.

Send us Fan MailHeidi Lyne talks about narcissism, generational trauma, and her multi-modality approach to healing. Lyne traces the narcissistic patterns in her own family back multiple generations, distinguishes clinical narcissistic personality disorder from everyday ego, and explains her belief that healing requires addressing developmental trauma somatically rather than through repeated talk therapy. She describes her work helping high-achieving women drop the "masculine energy as armor" many use for protection in corporate settings, shares her own history of childhood abuse, foster care, and suicidality that hypnotherapy helped her move past, and closes by discussing her upcoming retreats and corporate workshops aimed at teaching practical, everyday nervous-system reset practices to people new to spirituality.www.heidilyne.comResources:https://auraverse.networkwww.claudiumurgan.comclaudiu@claudiumurgan.comhttps://spirituallyinspired.buzzsprout.comSubscribe for more videos! youtube.com/channel/UC6RlLkzUK_LdyRSV7DE6obQCome Home to Yourself Where healing becomes a holistic, embodied way of being via reflection, ritual and releaseListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Allyne Betancourt, a member of the Dr. Joe Dispenza healing community, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share one of the most extraordinary healing stories on the show to date: how she was diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer, cured it holistically before ever undergoing surgery, and then — after surgeons removed most of her rectum anyway — used meditation and visualization to regenerate the organ back to nearly full size. Allyne walks through her refusal to "own" her cancer, the alternative protocols she combined with traditional treatment, the devastating aftermath of a surgery she now believes was unnecessary, and the dark night of the soul that led her to Dr. Joe Dispenza's work. The conversation closes with the medical documentation of her regeneration, the forgiveness work that made healing possible, and her hard-won belief that anyone — not just the exceptional — has this same capacity for the impossible.KEY TAKEAWAYS(00:02:38) Diagnosed with advanced T3 colorectal cancer and told surgery and a permanent colostomy bag were her only option — and her calm, immediate decision to refuse(00:05:37) "This is not my cancer" — why Allyne refused to own her diagnosis from day one, and how that mindset carried through seven months of treatment(00:10:01) Combining traditional treatment with alternative approaches: organic-only foods, raising her own grass-fed beef, and daily Buddhist chanting for hours at a time(00:11:54) Fasting five days before each chemo treatment — and the unusually severe reactions her oncologists had never seen before(00:19:27) The pressure to have surgery despite inconclusive scans, and her repeated request that doctors simply look before cutting(00:28:06) Waking up from surgery and instantly knowing she'd made a mistake — while the surgeon celebrated how well the procedure had gone(00:30:13) The physical toll of losing 8-10 centimeters of colon and most of her rectum: nonstop urgency, incontinence, and a dehumanizing new reality(00:36:04) Getting the lab results back — no cancer found anywhere in the tissue that was removed(00:37:15) Five months of worsening depression and a devastating conversation with her husband about not wanting to live like this anymore(00:39:50) The turning point: "I'm either going to live like this, or I have to grow another rectum"(00:46:04) Starting Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditation practice while running to the bathroom every 45-50 minutes, and the first sign of change after two months(00:52:16) Confronting the surgeon who performed the operation — and learning she had no idea Allyne never had cancer to begin with(00:59:50) The visualization practice Allyne used to dissolve scar tissue and "stretch" her remaining rectal tissue back toward full size(01:10:18) The colonoscopy that documented her rectum had grown from 3 centimeters to 10 centimeters, with no trace of scar tissue(01:15:46) Her message on breaking "the habit of being yourself" and why she believes healing the impossible isn't reserved for exceptional people(01:18:09) How Allyne has learned to meet life's setbacks with curiosity and trust instead of fear — even in the face of her husband's deathIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book

"Your experience is yours. And you have the ability to affect that experience in the ways that it will make it serve you best." — Farhan Zahid Farhan Zahid is the founder and CEO of Kenko, a concierge wellness practice tailored for high-performing individuals in the San Francisco Bay Area. As the incoming administrative director for the Hypnotherapy Training Institute in California, Farhan's journey is deeply personal—shaped by the tragic loss of six family members, which turned his passion for wellness into his life's mission. A certified clinical hypnotherapist, master NLP practitioner, and yoga teacher, Farhan brings over two decades of corporate leadership experience to his work, where he assists clients through grief, burnout, and major life transitions. Episode Summary: In this episode of "All My Health There Is Hope," host Jana Short engages in a profound conversation with Farhan Zahid, whose personal journey of loss and resilience has driven him to create Kenko, a unique wellness practice. Farhan explains how a traumatic family tragedy in 2017 motivated him to embrace a path of healing and purpose, emphasizing the power of compassion even amid anger and grief. His story illustrates how harnessing personal tragedy can lead to transformative growth, both personal and professional. The episode dives into the intricacies of Farhan's approach at Kenko, highlighting a holistic vision that places the human being at the center. The conversation explores the benefits of integrated and personalized health solutions, ranging from hypnotherapy to traditional wellness practices. Farhan articulates the concept behind Kenko's concierge model—one that especially caters to those caught up in the demands of corporate life, with the potential to expand and benefit a wider audience. By focusing on interconnectedness and convenience, Kenko aims to revolutionize how individuals achieve balance and fulfillment in their lives. Key Takeaways: Farhan Zahid's personal tragedy inspired him to turn a lifelong interest in wellness into a dedicated professional mission. Kenko's unique approach integrates mind, body, and nervous system therapies, offering a seamless connection of holistic health services. Hypnotherapy, often misunderstood, is clarified as a natural, relaxed state beneficial for various applications, from stress relief to childbirth. The importance of addressing mental health proactively, rather than reactively, aligns with the principle of treating the "whole" in "holistic." Farhan provides practical resources, including a self-hypnosis guide and anxiety relief techniques, empowering personal mental health management.

They're only taught to manage the symptoms of a mind that isn't at rest. These two complementary guides change that. The Self-Hypnosis Guide is a practical introduction to one of the most powerful and misunderstood tools available to you. No prior experience needed. You'll learn how to guide yourself into a calm, focused state and use it to shift patterns, release tension, and reconnect with your inner resources. The Anxiety Relief Guide meets you where anxiety actually lives—in the nervous system, in the body, in the stories we tell ourselves about what's coming next. It offers grounded, accessible techniques drawn from hypnotherapy and mind-body practice to help you move from reactive to responsive. Together, they're a starting point for anyone who is ready to stop forcing their way through stress and start working with the incredible power of their mind.

Imagine someone places their hands on your shoulders, says, “Enjoy the trip,” and you enter a profound altered state. Completely sober. No expectation. No hypnotic induction. Yet suddenly, you're buzzing. Nearly thirty years ago, NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer Hugh Comerford encountered an enigmatic French-Canadian energy healer who could produce experiences Hugh couldn't explain=and couldn't explain himself. So Hugh became obsessed with a question: Could you model the unconscious competence of a “unicorn” healer and teach it to anyone? The result is The Hümmo Method—a strange nexus of NLP, breathwork, perceptual shifts, and energy work. In this episode of Open Loops, Hugh reveals how the method emerged, why he says belief isn't required, the curious power of turning your problem into an “it,” and what happens when an NLP modeler spends decades trying to reverse-engineer the seemingly impossible. .....Like Greg does sometimes when he looks into the ingredients of a Celsius can. What happens when something shouldn't work according to your model of reality...but somehow does? Listen to this week's episode to feel the shift(s) yourself...

On The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III interviews Curtis McCollum, founder of Bespoke Human Potential Coaching, about combining executive coaching with clinical hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming, and mental-emotional release to work with the subconscious mind. McCollum explains that most coaching targets the conscious 5% while his methods address the subconscious 95%, describing NLP as identifying and changing the language and scripts installed early in life, and mental-emotional release as a process to remove emotions like anger, sadness, guilt, fear and limiting beliefs quickly by finding root causes. He outlines his “Legit Mindset” framework—Learning, Expanding, Growing, Transforming—as a repeating cycle that builds capacity, and says common core blockers are “I'm not good enough” and “I'm not worthy.” He advises acknowledging feelings without identifying as them, using deep breathing (4-7-8), asking “what/how” questions, and taking inspired action; he shares losing his son and notes emotions communicate then leave. McCollum directs listeners to curtismccullum.com and his YouTube channel.00:00 Name the Feeling00:38 Meet Curtis McCollum01:46 Curtis Origin Story04:00 Coaching vs Hypnosis05:08 NLP and Release Work06:45 Daily Mental Supplement08:44 Why Bespoke Matters10:39 Legit Mindset Framework12:15 Expand Before You Grow14:29 Universal Capacity Principle18:44 Core Blocks to Success21:35 Stop Pretending You're Fine23:22 Burnout and the 5 Percent25:28 Practical Reset StepsThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Quinton Sanicola joins Dr. Tara Perry for a wide-ranging conversation on subconscious reprogramming, near-death experiences, fasting, psychedelics, and the invisible "brakes" most people don't know they're driving with. Quinton opens up about his own experience going through Tara's hypnotherapy work after years of following Dr. Joe Dispenza, and the profound release he felt once his subconscious blocks were identified and rewritten. Tara shares the science behind why chronic stress keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight, real client stories of autoimmune conditions and chronic pain resolving through this work, and why so many high achievers are secretly driven by unresolved trauma. The conversation ranges into near-death experiences, dry fasting, Vipassana meditation, and the nature of reality itself — closing with Tara's reflection that healing doesn't mean life's challenges disappear, but that we become far more resourceful and resilient in facing them.KEY TAKEAWAYS(02:58) Quinton's own experience with subconscious work after years of following Dr. Joe Dispenza — and the question that led him to go deeper: "How can I take this further?"(04:50) "Running through mud" — Quinton's description of pushing through life without addressing what's really holding him back(05:29) The release Quinton felt after his first session — like releasing the brakes on a car that's been driving with them on the whole time(06:01) Why the invisible walls and hooks people carry usually got installed in early childhood and have nothing to do with who we are today(07:35) Real client outcomes Tara has witnessed: autoimmune issues resolving, veterans with severe PTSD improving in two sessions, and chronic pain and food allergies disappearing(09:47) The science of chronic stress — why living in fight-or-flight blocks the body's ability to heal, rest, and digest(13:18) Two remarkable client stories: someone with severe food allergies who reintroduced foods after 90 days, and a Rottweiler attack survivor who avoided further jaw surgeries(16:24) Why high achievers often carry unresolved trauma and imposter syndrome — including successful entrepreneurs who are uncomfortable asking for money(19:07) Tara's recent deep dive into near-death experiences, including Dr. Eben Alexander's story and what "life reviews" reveal about what really matters(24:10) A conversation on the simulation theory of reality, affirmations, and Tony Robbins' work on rewiring the nervous system through incantations(31:51) Tara's experience with a 7-day dry fast, the mental clarity it brings, and why she considers it a powerful reset(43:23) How addictive patterns like sugar, shopping, or alcohol are really the subconscious trying to fill a void — and why healing the root removes the need for the substitute(47:12) Why even after deep healing work, life's challenges don't vanish — but you become more resourceful, resilient, and less triggered(51:33) A look at the current research on psychedelics for reducing violent crime, addiction, and end-of-life anxiety — and the difference between therapeutic use and overuseIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book
Mental performance coach Stacy Ingram reveals why teen athletes with the most talent still hit a wall when they haven't trained the mental side. Talent gets an athlete to the starting line, but mental toughness is what decides who's still standing at the finish. Dr. Andrew Fix sits down with Stacy, founder of Catalyst Mental Performance, to explore why so many young athletes build their entire mindset around results and what happens when injury, a slump, or the end of a season pulls that identity out from under them. Ingram breaks down her IGNITE framework and explains why the difference between coaching and therapy matters more than most people realize. She and Fix dig into a question worth sitting with: what actually happens in your brain and body when the pressure is highest, and are you training for that moment or just hoping to survive it? From free throw lines to final exams to high pressure moments at work, the conversation makes a compelling case that nervous system regulation and self-talk are skills, not personality traits. Ingram also gets honest about the gap between wanting to change and being ready to do the work, and what parents and coaches can do to spot the difference. Whether you coach athletes, raise one, or just want to perform better under your own version of pressure, this episode offers a practical look at what separates those who thrive under pressure from those who crumble. Quotes "Without the sport or like a big job you might have had or a career, if you don't know who you are as a person, you take that away and all of a sudden you have this huge gap of confidence because what made you you, at least in your mind, is gone." (12:54 | Stacy Ingram) "Therapy is really all about sort of how did you get here and looking a little bit more backwards, where coaching is all about how do like you're here, no matter how you got here, how do we move you forward?" (20:01 | Stacy Ingram) "We often aren't playing our best game when we're only focused on the score. And again, it doesn't mean we don't always want to win. Of course we want to win. But we want to do the things that give us the best chance." (34:37 | Stacy Ingram) "If you do nothing or implement nothing I teach you, nothing will change." (49:36 | Stacy Ingram) "Being intentional about our actions and our life instead of just letting things happen to us, kind of guiding that path and how we do that ourselves intentionally versus letting other people pick and choose it for us."

Leigh Ann welcomes clinical hypnotherapist Christina Woods for a conversation on hypnotherapy, subconscious beliefs, medical trauma, and why insight alone often is not enough to create lasting change. Christina shares how a season of major life transition, burnout, and 24/7 vertigo led her to discover hypnotherapy and eventually leave a 30-year corporate career to help others access deeper subconscious healing. She explains hypnotherapy as a natural, focused state of mind that allows the conscious mind to quiet while the subconscious becomes more accessible, revealing the beliefs and narratives that may be driving behaviors, symptoms, relationships, and patterns. Leigh Ann and Christina discuss how beliefs like “I'm not enough,” “I'm alone,” or “I can't trust anyone” can form early in life, often from experiences that may not look traumatic on the surface but still shaped the nervous system and psyche. They also explore medical trauma, including how dismissive or invasive medical experiences can accumulate in the body and later show up as anxiety, panic, claustrophobia, avoidance, sleep disruption, or a loss of trust in medical care.

Panic Attack Relief — Calm the Numb, Shaky Aftermath | 10 Minute Guided Meditation for Anxiety Panic attack relief for the moment nobody talks about — the aftermath. The attack itself has passed, but the body still feels numb, the hands are tingling, the legs are unsteady, and the mind is already asking the frightening question: will I ever get over these? This ten minute guided meditation is for exactly that moment. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this session uses slow out-breath focus and a gentle winter's-morning visualisation — watching your breath leave as small white clouds, then watching the grey mist of fear and dark thoughts drift away on the breeze — to settle a nervous system that is still running hot. There is no need to fight the feeling. You simply breathe, and let the panic evaporate from the surface of the skin. Whether you are looking for panic attack help, anxiety relief, breathwork for a racing heart, or a daily guided meditation to steady you before sleep, take these ten minutes now and regain control, composure and calm. ⏱️ Time Chapters * 00:00 – The moment after a panic attack — numb body, tingling hands* 00:22 – Welcome, and why this one is personal* 00:44 – Diary note: Anchored launches Thursday the 13th* 01:07 – Settling in — the almost hypnotic rhythm of the breath* 01:50 – The pause between breaths, and letting the panic evaporate* 02:59 – Deepening — muscle fibres loosening, sinking down, safe and secure* 03:34 – Visualisation: seeing your breath on a cold winter's morning* 03:51 – Breathing out the dark grey mist of fear and anxiety* 04:47 – Preparing for today's affirmations* 05:28 – Affirmations, first pass* 06:54 – Affirmations, second pass* 08:13 – Three daily caring tips* 09:05 – Gently returning — fingers, toes, a stretch, and open your eyes* 09:30 – Closing thoughts and the Anchored launch* 10:37 – In everything, be kind
Adam helped a client who had been suffering from no burp syndrome, a condition where burping feels impossible, to connect with the idea of allowing a natural response by not restricting or suppressing. The client experienced progress from an earlier session but wanted to feel that burping could be natural and effortless, so Adam used various metaphors and open loops to give the unconscious permission to stop resisting.

Serena Sabala, author of The Hormone Harmony Shift and co-founder of Whole Shift Wellness, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share how she healed from PCOS and debilitating hormonal symptoms that doctors told her had no cure — and built a life and career around holistic hormone health as a result. Serena traces her passion for wellbeing back to watching her father's mental health crisis unravel his life as a child, and shares the pivotal moments that shaped her own healing: moving out on her own at 18, discovering yoga in London, and finally uncovering meditation with her husband. She opens up candidly about her own diagnosis with PCOS at just 15 and premenstrual dysphoric disorder in her 20s — and how she reversed both without medication. The conversation closes with the three pillars she now teaches to help others achieve the same transformation, and a remarkable client story that shows just how life-changing this work can be.KEY TAKEAWAYS(01:41) Watching her father's bipolar diagnosis unravel a thriving, successful life — and the early lesson that no amount of success matters without your health(04:08) Growing up in a dysfunctional home environment and Serena's belief that mental illness can be "contagious" through a developing brain(07:07) The pivotal moment at 18 when she moved out on her own and realized, for the first time, that she could feel good in the right environment(08:01) Discovering yoga, then meditation, as the two turning points that took her healing to a whole new level(11:14) The moment her "someday" dream of teaching yoga became a real plan — and how her life fell apart in the best way when she committed to it(13:18) Meeting her husband, a national yoga champion and 20-year fitness veteran, and realizing they were meant to build this work together(19:22) A client's mother who joined a retreat, began a health transformation, and unknowingly caught a cancer early enough to have it surgically removed without chemotherapy(23:19) Why Serena believes there's no better investment than your own mind and body — and the mindset shift high achievers need around health spending(26:03) The biggest myths about hormones, and why a "one pill, one problem" approach to the endocrine system falls short(28:34) Being diagnosed with PCOS at 15 and told there was no cure, then developing severe PMDD in her 20s that required maxing out painkillers just to function(33:44) Reversing both conditions naturally — her gynecologist now tells her she has the reproductive system of a woman 10 years younger(34:53) The three pillars of hormone harmony: the focus pillar (mindset and stress reduction), nutrition (including the psychology of eating), and movement (and why more exercise isn't always better)(42:24) Where to find Serena's work, her free Hormone Harmony assessment, and her retreats in Sicily and BelizeIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book

Why Knowing What to Do Isn't Enough: Hypnotherapy, Recovery & the Subconscious Mind with Bonnie KillipBonnie Killip is a dietitian, clinical hypnotherapist and eating disorder recovery specialist based in Australia. She also lived with anorexia for fifteen years, went through hospital treatment repeatedly, knew more about nutrition than almost anyone, and still could not recover until she found something that worked at a completely different level. That something was hypnotherapy. What she shares here is genuinely game-changing.This episode is for you if:You know what you need to do to recover but cannot seem to actually do itYou have spent years in therapy and still feel stuckYou feel like there must be something uniquely wrong with you because others seem to be able to recoverYou have been told recovery is just something you manage forever, not something you fully achieveYou are curious about hypnotherapy and what it actually involves in practiceYou want to hear from someone who found the system lacking and discovered a different wayIn this episode, we cover:✨ Bonnie's fifteen years living with anorexia, in and out of hospital, and why having all the nutritional knowledge made no difference at all✨ The moment she sat in her car after a support group and cried, and why it changed everything✨ How she found hypnotherapy through a newspaper clipping her grandmother had saved✨ Why she went to her first session completely sceptical and what happened anyway✨ What hypnosis actually is, and why the subconscious responds to it differently than conscious talking therapies✨ The ninety-five percent principle: why almost everything we do runs on autopilot and why that matters so much for recovery✨ Why feelings, beliefs and identity, not lack of information, are what keep people stuck✨ How pre-verbal beliefs get formed and why talk therapy often cannot reach them✨ What hospital treatment looked like for Bonnie and why disempowerment keeps people cycling back✨ Why no one asked Bonnie what she wanted for fifteen years of treatment, and what happened the first time someone did✨ Why trying something different when what you are doing is not working is wisdom, not failurePowerful quotes from the episode:

Sylvester McNutt III, 10-time best-selling author, podcaster, speaker, retired arena football player, and father, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a grounded and deeply personal conversation on healing, identity, and reclaiming your story. Sylvester shares how growing up with two parents battling addiction through a violent divorce set him on a lifelong search for answers, why a stolen notebook at age 12 saved his life, and how football gave him both his greatest advantages and his biggest blind spots. He opens up about the difference between wallowing in the past and truly integrating it, the blind spots he sees in the high achievers he coaches, and why he refuses to pass a victim story down to his sons. The conversation closes with the mindset shift that changed everything for him — and a powerful invitation to stop beating yourself up and fall in love with your life right now.KEY TAKEAWAYS(02:46) What football didn't teach him — why sports prepare you to be an athlete but not for who you are when the identity is gone(04:47) The athlete's advantage — with 60-70 plays a game, there's no luxury of shame or rumination; you learn to refocus and return to baseline fast(07:58) What athletes hide — how fan culture dehumanizes athletes, why accepting verbal abuse is written into the job description, and the pain and fear that get masked(13:41) How Sylvester is raising his own sons in sports — keeping it about fun and learning, not performance, pleasing dad, or going pro(15:32) Growing up with two parents in addiction through a violent divorce, being separated from his brother and sister, and refusing to stay in a victim mentality(18:31) The power of imagination — why he saw an "image" of a different life, how football became the one place his parents couldn't influence, and how school field trips showed him what was possible(20:51) Why he chose communications as his college major: to solve the childhood riddle of what happened to his parents(25:57) Wallowing vs. avoiding the past — how to know when a wound is truly integrated, and why Sylvester feels nothing but love when he tells his story now(26:53) Holding parents accountable while honoring them — accepting the duality that his biggest pain points were also his biggest providers(30:59) The blind spots of high achievers — imposter syndrome, inflated shame, lying to the people trying to help you, and the epidemic of missing boundaries(37:37) The stolen 7-Eleven notebook that saved his life at 12 — and the full-circle moment when he returned as an adult to repay it(39:20) The biggest mistake people make when they want a better life: obsessing over how it will happen instead of anchoring to why(44:39) What 10-year-old Sylvester needed to hear — and the message every adult's inner child still needs: everything will be okay(46:50) Sylvester's closing invitation: stop beating yourself up, and fall in love with your life right nowIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book
Will and Karen sit down with licensed hypnotherapist Cat Cazimi, co-host of Hippie Chicks Live, for a deep dive into what hypnosis really is, and whether it can fast-track you to spiritual awakening. Cat breaks down the biggest myth about hypnosis: the idea that it's a sleep-like state where you lose control. In reality, she explains, hypnosis is a hyper-focused state of receptivity, not unconsciousness, and you can never be made to do or say anything you don't want to. She walks through the difference between a light trance (think scrolling your phone or watching a movie) and the deeper theta state used in therapeutic work, and shares how she works with the most resistant clients, from analytical "monkey minds" who overthink their way out of relaxing, to people who drift too far into sleep. Karen and Will also revisit their own hypnosis sessions with Cat, including a moment that helped Karen finally get consistent sleep, and a lighter memory involving an impromptu "world-class pianist" suggestion. The conversation turns philosophical when Will asks Cat directly: is hypnotherapy a shortcut to enlightenment? Her answer redraws the line entirely, arguing that hypnotherapy ends and self-enlightenment begins the moment you're finally willing to meet yourself. Also in this episode: a listener voicemail from Toronto on the healing power of screaming into the void (walk-in freezers and airport parking lots included), a five-star review from a listener in Portugal, and a live audience Q&A covering who can and can't be hypnotized.

What happens when something is so vast, beautiful or mysterious that the mind has to widen in order to take it in?In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley explores the science and neurodivergent nuance of awe - the emotion that can arrive through nature, music, art, human kindness, big ideas, collective experience and the smallest details of ordinary life.Inspired by Dr Dacher Keltner's conversation with Dr Andrew Huberman, Ashley looks at how awe can shift our sense of scale, loosen the grip of habitual thinking and place our current problems inside a much wider landscape.She also explores how sensory sensitivity can make awe feel especially vivid for neurodivergent people - while also meaning that the doorway into awe needs to feel safe.Ashley shares a remarkable experience from her recovery after surgery, when waves of frisson - tingling, goosebumps and a heightened sense of being moved - began arriving several times a day during a noticeable period of healing.The episode closes with An Imaginal Awe Walk, beginning with a single leaf and gradually widening to the tree, the landscape, the Earth and the universe beyond it.Because awe does not always require a mountaintop.Sometimes it begins with something we might otherwise have walked straight past.Mindful Mondays is part of The Neurodivergent Experience on the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.Find Ashley's longer meditations, Yoga Nidras and Bedtime Alchemy stories on Insight Timer by searching Ashley Dupuy.Ashley is also developing her From Mask to Map group coaching cohort beginning in September.

Does a heavy feeling of dread start to build in your chest every single Sunday evening? You are not alone. In this deeply supportive 10-minute session, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin Hewlett breaks down the science behind the "Sunday Scaries"—a process known as anticipatory threat processing. Your intelligent brain is simply scanning the near future to protect you from upcoming workplace stressors, unanswered emails, and the week's demands. However, your nervous system cannot tell the difference between a real threat and an imagined one. Using the highly effective 4-2-6 breathing technique (inhale for 4, pause for 2, and a long, slow exhale for 6), you will learn how to deactivate flight-or-fight mode instantly. By extending your out-breath, you send a clear message of safety to your body, reclaiming Sunday night for the deep rest you deserve. Perfect for anyone struggling with work anxiety, weekend burnout, or sleeplessness, this guided practice brings you right back into the present moment where you are safe. ⏱️ Episode Chapters00:00 – Understanding the Low Hum of Sunday Evening Anxiety 01:11 – Getting Comfortable & Preparing to Release Tension 01:26 – The Science of Anticipatory Threat Processing & The Nervous System 02:38 – Breathwork Practice: The 4-2-6 Box Breathing Routine 04:05 – Grounding Exercise: Shifting from Future Dread to Present Safety 04:46 – Subconscious Hypnotherapy: Stepping Out of the Anticipation Loop 08:01 – 3 Daily Caring Tips to Beat the Sunday Scaries 09:33 – Awakening: Gently Returning Awareness to Your Room 09:50 – Outro: Share the Calm & Supporting the Anchored App
In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott reflect on something many neurodivergent people quietly struggle with: birthdays. From opening presents and being sung to, to processing surprises and responding to gifts "the right way," they explore why birthdays can feel surprisingly overwhelming. They also discuss demand avoidance around replying to birthday messages, the pressure of being the centre of attention, childhood birthday memories, and how expectations around gratitude can create anxiety rather than joy. Along the way, they reflect on why experiences often mean more than possessions, the role of special interests in gift giving, and how understanding someone's neurodivergence can completely change the way we celebrate them.A warm, funny, and surprisingly insightful conversation about birthdays, relationships, and the little social expectations that can feel much bigger when you have a neurodivergent brain.Our Sponsors:
