If you live in fight-or-flight—anxiety, hypervigilance, chronic stress, shutdown, or even chronic pain—your body isn't being "dramatic." It's protecting you. But healing is hard when your nervous system can't access safety. In this episode of Adulting With Autism, we talk with Ethan Reisboard, CHT, a hypnotherapist who helps clients regulate their nervous systems and create lasting change using evidence-informed hypnotherapy tools. Ethan shares his own recovery story: in 2021 he developed post-concussion syndrome with debilitating migraines and eye dysfunction. After trying numerous approaches with no results, hypnotherapy helped shift his body out of fight-or-flight so recovery could finally begin. Now he works with clients (mostly over Zoom) to build safety, reduce triggers, and develop skills that last beyond a single session. In this episode, we cover: What hypnotherapy is (and what it is not) Why the hypnotic state supports the parasympathetic nervous system How fight-or-flight can show up as anxiety and chronic pain How you know you're "out" of fight-or-flight: when triggers become less relevant/reactive "I can't be hypnotized" — stage hypnosis vs therapeutic hypnosis How to find a qualified hypnotherapist (training, supervision, credentials) Tools Ethan uses with clients: breathwork (including vagus nerve activation), somatic tracking, guided practices Working with neurodivergent clients: visualization differences, trust, sensory concerns Nature and travel as nervous system support—without using external "escape" as the only strategy Consent, safety, and agency: why hypnosis can't make you do what you don't want How hypnotherapy can complement OT/PT/clinical rehab when progress is stuck Connect with Ethan Reisboard, CHT: Website: https://ethanreishypnotherapy.com Social: Ethan Reis Hypnotherapy Free consultation scheduling and resources available on his website
How you show up in the world matters more than you may realize
In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore why neurodivergent people can be more vulnerable to negative influence.Growing up feeling different often leads to masking, people-pleasing, and a fragile sense of identity. When belonging has felt conditional, it can become easier to agree, adapt, and absorb the views of others just to avoid rejection.Jordan shares a recent experience of being let down by someone he trusted, while Simon reflects on a past friendship that crossed into manipulation and exploitation. They unpack how loneliness, burnout, justice sensitivity, and the need for certainty can leave neurodivergent people more susceptible to toxic dynamics.The conversation also dives into social media, echo chambers, and algorithm-driven radicalisation, and how validation, moral clarity, and belonging can feel regulating even when the influence itself is harmful.In this episode, we discuss:Masking and weakened identityPeople-pleasing and toxic friendshipsJustice sensitivity is being exploitedLoneliness and manipulationSocial media echo chambersDoom-scrolling and radicalisationBurnout and impulsive decisionsKnowing your vulnerable seasonsAn honest episode about influence, autonomy, and learning to protect yourself without losing your openness.Our Sponsors:

What if the reason you keep repeating the same pattern isn't in your conscious mind? In this first conversation of a special two-part series, Becc sits down with hypnotherapist Bryn to explore how hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious — where beliefs, trauma responses, and long-standing emotional patterns are actually stored. They discuss why insight alone doesn't always create change, how early-life programming shapes adult behavior, and what happens when clients access the root of anxiety, fear, and self-sabotage instead of just managing symptoms. If you've ever thought, “I understand why I do this… so why can't I stop?” this episode opens the door to a deeper level of transformation.
In this powerful and heartfelt episode, I'm joined by Andy Steele, whose life journey is a profound testament to resilience, self-healing, and transformation.Andy's career began in the late 1980s with the British Parachute Regiment, where he developed discipline, strength, and leadership while serving during the conflict in Northern Ireland. After leaving the military, he went on to serve his community for 16 years with Cumbria Fire & Rescue Service. Throughout both careers, Andy was repeatedly exposed to traumatic incidents that ultimately led to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).Behind the uniform, however, was a much earlier story of trauma. Andy shares, with courage and honesty, his first childhood memory of being beaten by his father — a moment that marked the beginning of years of physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. At just 14 years of age, Andy ran away from home and later joined the paratroopers, driven by a deep need to prove his worth and finally gain his father's approval — recognition that never came.For much of his life, Andy was focused on rescuing others. It wasn't until PTSD brought him to a breaking point that he realised he needed to rescue himself.His healing journey introduced him to Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Hypnotherapy, and the Kinetic Shift Technique — modalities that helped him rebuild his sense of safety, self-worth, and inner peace. Inspired by his own recovery, Andy retrained as a qualified practitioner and went on to run a successful full-time practice, supporting others through anxiety, stress, and trauma.Today, Andy delivers talks and workshops rooted in compassion, empowerment, and hope — helping other people evolve. He speaks openly about what it means to feel safe within yourself, to show up fully in your own life, and to break generational cycles of trauma — not only for yourself, but for your children.This conversation offers insight, hope, and reassurance to veterans, first responders, trauma survivors, and anyone walking their own healing path.

Sebastien Martin is a Canadian serial entrepreneur, born in France, who has built international health food brands for almost 2 decades with offices in the USA, Canada, the UK and New Zealand. In November of 2011, Sebastien had a close encounter of a 5th kind with a Stellar being living in a 5th dimensional reality and has had communications with him and the rest of his Star family ever since, receiving frequent and powerful ‘downloads' all aimed to raise consciousness. This one of a kind disturbing experience has forced Sebastien to resort to the services of a hypnotherapist to help him with anxiety issues arising from this life changing encounter as well as prophetic visions he had since he was a child. Detailed memories were extracted from these sessions, providing critical information about the Galactic Alliance agenda, split souls, human consciousness and much more. More recent visits involving 11th dimensional beings reinforced Sebastien's beliefs and clarity in terms of parallel timelines. Sebastien receives powerful downloads on a daily basis and had a Kundalini awakening since his first encounter and enhanced his psychic abilities by his remote viewing of 3iAtlas and providing his services to police and alphabet agencies, and receiving information regarding the Secret Space Program, Stargates and the alien agenda.
That Wellness Podcast with Natalie Deering: Internal Family Systems with a Twist
Have you ever considered that you might already be in a trance? In this episode, I sit down with Zarina Tariq, Integrated Clinical Hypnotherapist and Empowerment Coach based in Cincinnati, to explore hypnotherapy as a powerful bridge to healing, self-trust, and inner knowing. We talk about how many of us walk through life in unconscious “trance states” shaped by limiting beliefs, emotional wounds, and protective patterns — and how hypnotherapy can gently help us wake up. Zarina shares the history of hypnotherapy, what it actually is (and isn't), and clears up common misconceptions about hypnosis. We explore the difference between everyday trance states and intentionally entering trance “at will” for healing and transformation. You'll also hear: What a typical hypnotherapy session looks like How hypnotherapy helps access the subconscious mind How it supports breaking self-sabotaging patterns The similarities and differences between hypnotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) The connection between hypnotherapy and chakras My personal experience working with Zarina About Zarina Tariq: Zarina Tariq is an Integrated Clinical Hypnotherapist and Empowerment Coach based in Cincinnati. She helps individuals break free from limiting beliefs, emotional blocks, and self-sabotaging patterns by addressing root causes rather than surface-level symptoms. Blending hypnotherapy, energy work, and coaching, Zarina empowers her clients to unlock the vast potential of their subconscious minds, cultivate self-confidence, and step into their personal power with clarity and confidence.

If you've ever found yourself making excuses for someone who never once made them for you, this episode is exactly where you need to be.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/dr-stephanie-kriesbergIf you've ever walked away from a relationship wondering how you lost yourself along the way, this episode is for you. Dr. Stephanie Kriesberg, clinical psychologist and one of the only therapists in New England certified in the "Will I Ever Be Good Enough?" model, joined us to talk about narcissism, hypnotherapy and what healing actually looks like in practice.First things first — not all narcissists look the same. Dr. Kriesberg breaks down the two main types: the grandiose narcissist who dominates every room and needs constant admiration, and the covert narcissist who's quieter but just as skilled at getting other people to orbit around their needs. Both types share the same core: a lack of empathy, no real self-awareness and an expectation that the world exists to regulate their emotions. As Dr. Kriesberg puts it, a narcissist is essentially a child in an adult's body.So why do so many smart, capable people end up in these relationships? Because narcissists can be magnetic. They shower you with attention early on, make you feel chosen and needed — and by the time the dynamic shifts, you're already in deep. Dr. Kriesberg also addresses one of the most common misconceptions people carry: the belief that love, patience or the right circumstances will change things. They usually don't.We also talked about what not to do. Trying to explain yourself endlessly, hoping that if you just say it the right way they'll finally get it? That burden is not yours to carry. Instead, Dr. Kriesberg encourages people to hold onto their own sense of self, practice assertiveness and listen to their gut — especially those early red flags that are easy to rationalize away but hard to ignore once you know what they mean.And then there's hypnotherapy. This is where the conversation gets really interesting. Clinical hypnotherapy has nothing to do with stage shows or clucking like a chicken. It's a focused, relaxed state that helps people access their imagination and memory in a more intentional way. Dr. Kriesberg uses it with clients recovering from difficult relationships to help them reconnect with who they were before the relationship chipped away at them — recalling moments of confidence, competence and clarity, and bringing those back into the present. It's not a standalone fix, but woven into a broader therapy approach, it can be genuinely powerful.Dr. Kriesberg also makes the case that the most important factor in therapy isn't the model or the method — it's the relationship with your therapist. If it's not clicking, find someone else. The ball is in your court.This was a real, grounded conversation about patterns that are easier to spot in hindsight and harder to escape in the moment. Give it a listen.

Six months ago, Mindful Mondays began as a simple weekly pause - a space to soften into presence and honour the neurodivergent nervous system.Twenty-six episodes later, something far more coherent has emerged.In this special half-year reflection, Ashley traces the living map that has been quietly forming beneath the surface - from radical acceptance and time reframing, to forest wisdom and the art of allowing… from nervous system cartography and breath as bridge, to loving-kindness, radical permission, and the true architecture of change.Together, we revisit the core sequence that has shaped this journey:Presence.Allowing.Regulation.Story.Compassion.Breakthrough.Resilience.Sensitivity as strength.This episode is not simply a recap - it is an integration. A chance to step back and see the pattern. To recognise that your sensitivity was never a flaw to correct, but an instrument to understand.The episode closes with a deeply immersive guided practice, Reweaving the Map, blending three beloved meditations from the past six months - the Forest of Allowing, the Weaver of Stories, and Loving-Kindness - into one cohesive inner journey.A celebration.A consolidation.And a reminder that the map is still unfolding.Our Sponsors:

What happens when outward success no longer matches your inner truth?
In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott react to major BAFTA wins for I Swear — including Robert Aramayo taking home Best Actor and the EE Rising Star Award.After previously calling it a “travesty” that Aramayo wasn't Oscar-nominated, Jordan reflects on why this win feels so significant — not just for the actor, but for neurodivergent representation in film.They unpack why I Swear works: it doesn't reduce Tourette's to a stereotype, it tells the story of one human being. The film focuses on John Davidson's life, not just his diagnosis — showing difference without pity, and representation without forcing a message.The conversation expands into a wider discussion about authentic storytelling vs performative diversity, why some representation feels natural while others feel manufactured, and how shows like Malcolm in the Middle, The Simpsons, Stranger Things, Bob's Burgers, and Rick and Morty have portrayed neurodivergent-coded characters for decades without making diagnosis the sole narrative.Note: This episode was recorded before wider discussion emerged regarding a moment during the BAFTA ceremony involving an involuntary vocal tic from John Davidson. We recognise the complexity and sensitivity of the situation. Our discussion here focuses specifically on the significance of authentic neurodivergent representation in film.This episode discusses:Robert Aramayo's BAFTA winWhy I Swear resonates so deeplyAuthentic vs forced representationTourette's, autism, ADHD and coded charactersThe legacy of Rain Man and stereotypesWhy storytelling should centre the person, not the conditionHow powerful representation builds confidenceNeurodivergent “goggles” and seeing ND traits everywhereWhy natural inclusion works better than box-tickingA passionate, funny, and thoughtful reaction episode about film, advocacy, and why authentic representation matters more than ever.Our Sponsors:
You're intelligent. You're capable. You're prepared. So why does your body still react under pressure? In this episode of the Social Skills Mastery Podcast, I sit down with certified hypnotherapist Kristine Ovsepian to explore the physiological side of anxiety and whether tools like hypnotherapy and breathwork can reduce the internal friction that keeps high-achieving professionals from speaking up and stepping forward. We discuss what hypnotherapy actually is (and isn't), how it works neurologically, whether it can help with social anxiety and fear of visibility, and how trauma and stress responses shape professional performance. We also break down breathwork in practical terms and explore when hypnotherapy is a smart complement to coaching. If you've normalized the tension before meetings, the racing thoughts before presentations, or the quiet avoidance of leadership visibility, this episode will challenge you to reconsider whether that friction is necessary. In This Episode, We Discuss: What hypnotherapy actually is and how it differs from stage hypnosis What happens in the brain and nervous system during hypnosis Whether hypnotherapy can reduce social anxiety and fear of public speaking How trauma (big or small) can shape adult anxiety patterns What breathwork is and how it affects emotional regulation When hypnotherapy is appropriate — and when it isn't As a clinical hypnotherapist with a Master's in Psychology, Kristine Ovsepian blends science and spirit to support deep healing and transformation. Through hypnotherapy, breathwork, past life regression, quantum healing, NLP, EFT, and manifestation coaching, she helps her clients to reconnect with their inner wisdom and divine power. Guided by love, intuition, and purpose, she holds space for her clients to awaken, release what no longer serves them, and step fully into their highest path.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James returns from New Zealand and joins Simon Scott for an honest and surprisingly positive conversation about travelling as a neurodivergent person.From long-haul flights and jet lag to airport anxiety and invisible disability accommodations, they reflect on how different this trip felt compared to previous travel experiences. Jordan shares how advocating for pre-boarding, using the sunflower lanyard, and clearly communicating needs made a significant difference — and why asking for accommodations can completely change the experience of flying.They also explore the cognitive and sensory impact of jet lag, navigating time zone shifts, balancing FOMO with regulation, and knowing when to cancel plans instead of pushing through burnout.This episode explores:Travelling with invisible disabilitiesAdvocating for airport accommodationsSunflower lanyards and pre-boardingLong-haul flights and neurodivergent sensory stressJet lag and ADHD brain fogFOMO vs nervous system regulationSpecial interests and travel intensityBeing present vs filming everythingPost-holiday blues and returning to routineA relaxed but reflective episode about autonomy, accessibility, travel anxiety, and learning to prioritise regulation over pressure — even when you're standing at Mount Doom.Our Sponsors:

Another mind bending podcast with Jennifer Shaffer and Rich Martini inviting Luana Anders and her clipboard to talk to us from the flipside. In today's edition, Amelia Earhart comes forward to talk about our appearance on Gaia's #BEYONDBELIEF the previous week where we spoke about her and the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA. Then Heath Ledger stopped by, as he knows one of Jennifer's clients that she's speaking with this week. I heard Robert Duvall's voice in my kitchen the other day, and wondered if he might want to speak. Since he worked with Sally Kellerman on the film MASH (directed by Robert Altman) I thought perhaps Robert or Sally's pal Bud Cort might stop by for a chat from the flipside. As it turned out "one of the two" was willing to take our speaker's chair and answer our questions. That was the acclaimed actor Robert Duvall - and as one can observe in the podcast, it was a long time before Jennifer realized who I was referring to. All of the folks that I asked about are either on the flipside, people that he worked with (Marlon Brando, Fred Roos, Robert Towne, etc) and I asked him if he had messages for some of his pals still on stage (Dustin Hoffman, Francis Coppola, his wife Luciana, etc.) He recalled having lunch with me in a noisy cafe in Santa Fe (Luana and Gene Hackman were there as well.) Again - the reason we do this podcast is to demonstrate how easy it is to speak to our loved ones offstage. They're eager and waiting to converse with us - and there are three methods one can use to learn new information from them. 1. Hypnotherapy. I recommend the four to six hour session as done by therapists trained by the Newton Institute. 2. Guided meditation. A person can open themselves up to a conversation using meditation. 3. Mediumship. People like Jennifer who work with law enforcement agencies daily, pro bono, so I know how effective she can be. In this case, I have had conversations with, or talked to all of the people mentioned in this episode. I've written and or directed 10 feature films - many have never heard or seen any of them, but either my relationship with Luana Anders, Charles Grodin, or the actors I've worked with before allows me to use the "six degrees of separation" idea to converse with them - or have our pal Luana Anders invite them for a conversation. I've been doing this now for two decades - I met Jennifer about 11 years ago, and we've been doing this weekly for all that time. So it's not like we don't have our own language to speak with each other. We did appear on Gaia's BEYOND BELIEF last week, which will air sometime soon and is about the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST; THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA. (There are some clips and previous podcasts about the book at the "Hacking the Afterlife" podcast page on YouTube. #RobertDuvall, #HeathLedger, #CarlWeathers, #PaulNewman, #GeneHackman, #SallyKellerman, #BudCort, #CharlesGrodin Enjoy.
Send a textFear is powerful. It can override logic, silence intuition, and convince us to stay small.But what if fear isn't your intuition at all?In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with spiritual psychotherapist, clinical mental health counselor, hypnotherapist, shamanic practitioner, and actor Maria Micha for a grounded conversation about subconscious blocks, ancestral patterns, and reclaiming personal power.From growing up in Athens, Greece, to studying in the UK and later expanding her work in Singapore and Los Angeles, Maria shares how her journey led her to blend psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, neuroscience, and spiritual practice to help individuals transform from the inside out.Together, Jennifer and Maria explore how education can disconnect us from our inner voice, how fear often masquerades as intuition, and why life's biggest challenges can become catalysts for growth.This episode isn't about quick fixes.It's about awareness, curiosity, and remembering that there is always more available to you.⭐ What You'll Hear in This Episode✅ Why fear can override intuition — and how to tell the difference✅ How education trains us to doubt our inner voice✅ Training intuition through low-stakes decisions✅ The subconscious mind and how beliefs form neural pathways✅ How challenges catalyze growth✅ Breaking victim mentality and reclaiming personal power✅ The impact of ancestral patterns on money, identity, and behavior✅ The connection between thoughts, somatization, and physical health✅ Maria's three-part definition of success✅ How psychotherapy informs her work as an actor
In this episode of the Reiki Lifestyle Podcast, Robyn and Colleen Benelli talk with their friend and colleague Padraig Ansbro, Reiki practitioner, hypnotherapist, shamanic practitioner, and U.S. Navy veteran.

Sound is one of the fastest, most powerful systems in the human brain. It can soothe, destabilise, regulate, overwhelm - and, when used intentionally, it can become a profound tool for nervous system support.In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley explores the neuroscience and lived experience of sound for neurodivergent minds. From music and rhythm as ancient emotional language, to binaural beats and brainwave states, humming and vagus nerve activation, ASMR, pink noise, and the surprising science behind tinnitus and musical ear syndrome.We also talk honestly about misophonia, loud noise sensitivity, and the cocktail party effect - and why regulation, not exposure, is the key.The episode closes with a guided theta journey using Alexander Voloshin of Healing Meditation Music's theta binaural beats - an immersive sound experience designed to gently support deep rest, insight, and recalibration.If sound has ever felt like too much - or not enough - this episode will help you understand why, and how to work with it.Headphones recommended.Our Sponsors:
Bruce Goldberg is a dentist by training who later became known as a hypnotherapist and author writing about past-life regression, time travel consciousness, and metaphysical healing concepts. Discussions framed around titles such as “Dentist or Snake Oil Salesman – It's All BS!” reflect the strong controversy surrounding his claims and methods. Critics question the scientific validity of his metaphysical assertions and therapeutic approaches, while supporters view his work as exploratory consciousness research and spiritual healing practice. His career illustrates the broader public debate over regression therapy, alternative metaphysics, and the standards of evidence applied to extraordinary claims.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Simon Scott is joined by Ashley Dupuy to explore why the news feels so overwhelming — especially for neurodivergent brains.With relentless headlines, graphic footage, political division, and algorithm-driven doom-scrolling, they unpack how constant exposure to crisis can heighten anxiety, disrupt sleep, and intensify black-and-white thinking.Ashley explains the role of the brain's reticular activating system (RAS) — the internal filtering system that shows us more of what we focus on. When we consume dark, catastrophic stories repeatedly, our brains begin scanning the world for more threats, reinforcing anxiety and hypervigilance.They discuss:Doom-scrolling and negativity biasHeightened empathy and justice sensitivityPTSD and re-traumatisation through graphic mediaADHD, stimulation-seeking, and news addictionBlack-and-white thinking in polarised timesThe pressure to “have an opinion” on everythingFeeling powerless outside your circle of controlSocial conversations built around “ain't it awful”News detoxes and intentional media boundariesUsing gratitude and inspiration to rebalance the brainA thoughtful, honest discussion about emotional intensity, media overwhelm, and how to stay informed without sacrificing your nervous system.Our Sponsors:

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Simon Scott is joined by Ashley Dupuy to explore the emotional reality of unmasking as a neurodivergent adult — especially after late diagnosis.With Jordan still in New Zealand, Simon and Ashley dive into identity shifts, grief, anger, boundaries, and the destabilising question so many people face:Who am I without the mask?They discuss how masking begins as a survival strategy rooted in nervous system safety, but can eventually leave you disconnected from your authentic self.

Is your relationship with alcohol driven by habit or a hidden "inner critic"? Today on Eyes Wide Open, we're joined by world-renowned hypnotherapist Georgia Foster to discuss her revolutionary "7 Days to Drink Less" program and why willpower is actually the weakest tool for changing your habits. In this episode, we dive deep into the emotional architecture of drinking and why societal shame often prevents real progress. Georgia Foster explains the actual science of hypnotherapy, debunking the "magician" myths to show how the subconscious mind holds the key to moderation. We explore the personality types behind drinking, from perfectionists to people-pleasers, and discuss how to silence the inner critic that drives the urge to over-consume. This is an honest conversation about finding the middle ground, removing the stigma of "quitting," and reclaiming your authentic self without the weight of alcohol-induced shame. Key Takeaways & Revelations Willpower vs. The Mind: Why willpower is ineffective for long-term change and how hypnotherapy targets the emotional root of the habit. The "Middle Ground" Approach: Why drinking less is often a more sustainable and achievable goal than complete sobriety for many individuals. Boredom & Emotional Triggers: Understanding how curiosity and awareness can dismantle the automatic response to drink when bored. The Inner Critic: How addressing the negative internal dialogue can stop the cycle of "shame drinking" and perfectionism. Personality Patterns: Identifying the difference between "perfectionist" and "pleaser" drinking styles to create a personalized path to wellness. Our Mission Eyes Wide Open is a space for honest communication. Our goal is to remove the stigmas around mental health, holistic lifestyles, culture, and free speech so you can show up as your authentic self with your eyes wide open. By having real conversations about difficult truths, we move toward collective healing.

If the word gratitude has ever made you roll your eyes, this episode is for you.This isn't about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. It's about neuroscience.In this episode, Ashley explores how gratitude reshapes your Reticular Activating System (RAS) — the brain's internal filter that decides what gets noticed. For neurodivergent nervous systems wired for intensity, pattern recognition, and threat detection, that filter can easily become tuned toward what's overwhelming or missing.Gratitude, practised intentionally, becomes a neural training practice.You'll learn how negativity bias and modern media hijack your attention, why simply searching for something to appreciate changes your brain, and how a simple six-week challenge can gently retrain your inner lens.This is grounded, science-backed, and fully relevant to the lived experience of neurodivergence.Gratitude isn't naive.It's neural.Our Sponsors:

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore the powerful impact of the British biographical drama I Swear — a neuroaffirming film based on the life of John Davidson, who developed Tourette's syndrome as a child and later became a speaker and advocate.They reflect on their wider experiences of being neurodivergent — the bullying, blame, masking, rejection, and misunderstanding that shaped their early lives. The film mirrors what it feels like to grow up different in a world that often responds with judgment rather than understanding.Jordan shares memories of being mocked at school and blamed for behaviours he couldn't control, while Simon opens up about the emotional impact of recognising how much he has masked over the years.The conversation also explores how society can “disable” people through discrimination and rigid expectations, and how those social responses create lasting wounds. They reflect on the film's empowering message of turning lived experience into advocacy — and how authentic neurodivergent representation can help transform pain into purpose and community.They discuss:Tourette's syndrome and visible ticsChildhood bullying and social rejectionBeing blamed for behaviours you can't controlMasking and suppressing neurodivergent traitsAnxiety and symptom exacerbationLaw enforcement misunderstandingsDisability vs social disablementGrowing up feeling “othered”Authentic neurodivergent representation in filmTurning lived experience into advocacy and communityAn emotional, reflective episode about neurodivergence, identity, stigma, and the power of storytelling to shift perspective and create change.Our Sponsors:
In this milestone 100th episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott reflect on self-sabotaging behaviours — from procrastination and perfectionism to impulsivity, addiction, rigid thinking, and negative self-talk.They share personal stories about turning down opportunities, abandoning creative projects, gaming addiction, risk-taking, substance use, phone dependence, and the ways neurodivergent intensity can both fuel success and quietly derail it. The conversation explores how fear of failure, rejection sensitivity, and the need for stimulation often sit beneath these behaviours.From code-switching and conscious camouflaging to asking “do you want my opinion?” before giving it, they reflect on how intentional change, emotional regulation, and meeting people where they are can reduce conflict without losing identity.They discuss:Procrastination, perfectionism, and fear of failureNegative self-talk and rejection sensitivityRisk-taking, addiction, and impulsivityGaming, gambling, substances, and phone dependenceRigid thinking and relationship conflictOversharing and social misstepsAuthenticity vs accountabilityCode-switching and conscious camouflagingMeeting people where they are Learning to pause before speakingA reflective, honest episode about growth, responsibility, and the messy reality of being neurodivergent — 100 episodes in.Our Sponsors:

Today I'm joined by Theresa Lear Levine, an EFT Master Practitioner, hypnotherapist, and founder of Becoming More You. We explore why high-achieving entrepreneurs know what to do but can't take action - and how nervous system regulation unlocks aligned, pleasure-fueled success.Theresa shares how years of accumulated knowledge couldn't translate into action until she healed her nervous system, the shift from masculine striving to feminine receiving, and why EFT Tapping and Hypnotherapy can be supportive.About Theresa:Theresa Lear Levine is an EFT Master Practitioner, hypnotherapist, and founder of Becoming More You. Her coaching program helps high-achieving ADHD entrepreneurs heal past trauma, release limiting beliefs, and align with abundance to create pleasure-fueled lives and businesses - free from anxiety and overwhelm. She works primarily with midlife women and busy-minded entrepreneurs who want to come back into coherence with the Truth of who they are.Key Insights from our conversation:The Invisible Wall Between Knowing and DoingTheresa had years of knowledge and certifications but couldn't take action. Why? Her nervous system and subconscious blocks were throwing up roadblocks. Once she created a felt sense of safety through nervous system work, everything became actionable.From Striving to ReceivingWe're stuck in masculine energy: hustle, strive, achieve. But it's not fulfilling. The shift to feminine energy—receiving, allowing, trusting—creates relaxed, pleasure-fueled success.Why We Stay FrozenWhen we make decisions from a dysregulated nervous system, they come from scarcity and pressure. We know what to do, but we're frozen. Nervous system regulation creates the safety needed to move forward.EFT Tapping & HypnotherapyEFT: Tapping on meridian points while addressing emotional blocks. Releases stored trauma and limiting beliefs.Hypnotherapy: Accesses the subconscious mind at different brainwave states. The subconscious often reveals what's really blocking you—different from what you consciously think.The Power of PresenceYour energy can only be used in the present moment. Anxiety about the future or ruminating on the past dilutes your power. The only place you have any power is right here, right now.The Only Constant is ChangeLife is an evolution. We can only change toward our desires when we accept where we're at. When we stay in "there's something wrong with me," that story just gets bigger.Connect with Theresa & Free Resources:https://becomingmoreme.com/https://theresalearlevine.com/https://www.instagram.com/theresalearlevine/Becoming More Me Skool Community: https://www.skool.com/becoming-more-me-community/aboutBook a Call: https://gamechangingconversation.comFavorite Quotes from our conversation:
Seeing your life clearly doesn't mean seeing it harshly.In this episode of Mindful Mondays, we explore how mindset and reframing shape not just how we think - but how our nervous system experiences the world.Many neurodivergent and highly sensitive people live with a loud inner commentary. Thoughts can feel convincing, critical, and fixed - yet thoughts are not facts.Together, we explore:* Growth mindset through a neurodivergent lens* Why reframing supports nervous system safety (not toxic positivity)* How meaning - not circumstances - shapes our experience* Why challenges often deepen, rather than diminish, a meaningful lifeDrawing on wisdom from thinkers and creatives including William James, Hugh Mackay, Tina Turner, Joan Rivers, Kurt Vonnegut, and Michael Jordan, this episode invites a gentler, truer way of seeing yourself.You'll also be guided through a reflective visualisation - The Gallery of Your Life - offering a new relationship with past moments, old judgments, and the stories you live inside.This is not about fixing yourself.It's about learning to see yourself in a way that supports you.Our Sponsors:
Scott Fawcett flips the script and interviews me—Paul Salter, The Golf Hypnotherapist—to pull back the curtain on what hypnosis actually is (and what it's not), how it compares to meditation, and why so many golfers struggle with their mental game and stay stuck even when they "know what to do." We dig into the real reason consistency collapses (hint: it's not laziness), what I mean by destructive mindset programs, and how fear of next-level success quietly drives self-sabotage. I also explain memory reconsolidation—why your past isn't "over" just because you've compartmentalized it—and how releasing old emotional charge can free up energy, focus, and execution when it matters most. In this episode, you'll learn: The real difference between hypnosis and the "pocket watch" caricature Why meditation helps—but why it often isn't enough for identity-level change How fear of success can be the hidden reason you stop doing what works What "memory reconsolidation" is and how it impacts performance Why the yips and performance anxiety often have roots outside golf The difference between surface-level tools vs subconscious rewiring Why stress is often an "energy leak" from unresolved internal conflict If you've tried sports psychology, visualization, breathwork, and self-talk… and still feel like there's something deeper running the show, this conversation will connect a lot of dots.

Instagram: @thepaulsalter Key Takeaways: Hypnosis isn't mind control—it's a natural brain state you already enter daily. The work is simply learning to access it intentionally for change. Meditation and hypnosis overlap in brainwaves, but hypnosis adds direction. It's not just relaxing—it's targeted problem-solving and identity work. Most inconsistency is subconscious protection, not lack of discipline. When success feels unfamiliar, the mind pulls you back toward "safe" and predictable. Self-sabotage is often sneaky and cumulative. It shows up as small broken promises (sleep, meditation, workouts), not just obvious destructive behaviors. Next-level performance requires detachment from outcome. "Need to / have to / should" language is a dead giveaway you're gripping the result. Memory reconsolidation changes your relationship with the past. You don't erase memories—you drain the emotional charge so they stop hijacking the present. Your golf game carries your whole life onto the course. Unresolved family dynamics, identity pressure, and old emotional pain can create mental interference that looks like "golf problems." Key Quotes: "Hypnosis…it's not magic. It's not brainwashing. It's a natural state of mind." "If you know what to do and you're not doing it…that's a mindset problem." "Most people are afraid of next level success or being the best version of themselves." "The sneaky lowercase-s self-sabotage…is breaking the little promises you keep to yourself."
