In Step with the Spirit - Galatians 5:16-26

In this episode of Style DNA I go on a style journey with none other than the world-renowned self-development coach, inspirational speaker, manifesting expert, and three-times Sunday Times Bestselling author, the inspirational Roxie Nafousi. I first met Roxie when she came to one of my London Fashion Week parties at my Mayfair Store and the shy woman I met back then was worlds apart from the confident communicator that I had this Style DNA conversation with… I have to say it is heart-warming to see someone evolve so positively…and in this conversation she eloquently explains how that evolution came about. Roxie has talked opening about being lost, until she found manifesting and I ask her how her style has evolved from being the person she was previously? She admits she hated her style before, how she felt only as worthy as the man she was with and that impacted her dressing. She states that her style growth is aligning with who she is now. We talk about when she discovered her passion for fashion? Fashion had always been a bit of a mask for her…that she liked fashion for all the wrong reasons, it's probably only in the last year that she has started to take more care of what she wears. She writes about it in her latest book Confidence, that a big part of manifesting your higher self or stepping into your most empowered self is about the way you dress. In Step 8 of the book she talks about dressing the part as one of the ways that you can show up as your future self. Alongside this, she says that a big part of the manifestation journey is letting go, letting go of all things that don't serve you, whether it's bad habits, behaviours or people but also the kind of clothes that don't serve who you are anymore, or that are not who you want to become. It's definitely food for thought… She has clearly found her confidence…and feels that she is of value to the world but is humble enough to admit that she has days when self doubts creep in but she is better equipped to deal with them and most importantly wants to share her learnings… Bravo @roxienafousi…thank you for your frank and open conversation…hugely thought provoking and helpful to many I am sure x Learn more about your ad choices.

In Step 8, we made a list. Now, in Step 9, we move into carrying out amends through direct communication with those who we've offended and we learn how to forgive and walk in grace toward those who have offended us. Why in the world would we want to carry out this important step? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrity Recovery, walks us through some important reasons why we need to carry out this important part of the recovery journey.

In Step 10: Last Things, we explore the prophecies and events that are yet to come according to the Bible. Starting with John's vision on the island of Patmos, we uncover the time of tribulation, the return of Christ, and the establishment of His kingdom on earth for a thousand years. We examine the fulfillment of the Abrahamic and Davidic covenants in Jesus and the ultimate defeat of Satan. The episode delves into the final judgment, the division of humanity into believers and non-believers, and their respective destinations.

In Step 9: Church, we see Jesus. After spending 40 days with his disciples following his resurrection, he ascends into heaven, promising to send the Holy Spirit. The disciples are given a mission - to make disciples from all nations and spread the kingdom message. On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descends upon the disciples, empowering them to speak in different languages and spread the message to people from all over the world. We witness many thousands of people become believers, including Paul, a persecutor of the Church who becomes a dedicated follower of Jesus after encountering him on the road to Damascus. Finally, we meet John, banished to the island of Patmos, receiving visions of future events. Through John, we're offered a glimpse into the return of Jesus and the establishment of his kingdom.Suggested ReadingsMatthew 28:1-20Acts 2:1-47Acts 9:1-31Episode HighlightsJesus' final commission to His disciples before ascending to heavenThe dramatic events of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit's empowermentPeter's powerful sermon leading to 3,000 new believersPaul's extraordinary conversion on the Damascus roadJohn's exile to Patmos and his glimpse of future eventsSupport the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Join Wayne Giles as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In Step 4, we learn that making the decision to turn our will and life over to a higher power is a vital step in our recovery, but it is only the beginning. The Big Book emphasizes that this decision alone is not enough to bring lasting change unless it is followed by strenuous action.Wayne explores the importance of taking responsibility for the things in ourselves that have blocked us from true spiritual growth. Step 4 calls us to face our fears, resentments, and shortcomings with courage and honesty. Through this inventory process, we begin to clear away the wreckage of the past, making room for healing and the transformative power of our higher power to work in our lives. As Wayne highlights, this effort is necessary for long-term recovery and personal growth.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Wayne Giles as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. Wayne delves into one of the most misunderstood and debated topics in recovery—sex and relationships. In the Big Book, the authors remind us to maintain a balanced and sensible approach when it comes to intimacy, as it is an area where human opinions often run to extremes.Some view sex as a necessary evil, while others argue for uninhibited indulgence, blaming many of the world's problems on sexual issues. In recovery, we're called to neither extreme but to a healthy middle ground where relationships are guided by mutual respect, understanding, and spiritual principles. As Wayne highlights, the key is to avoid going off track by addressing this aspect of our lives with honesty and balance. In Step 4, we take a fearless and moral inventory, including our approach to relationships, ensuring that we align this area of life with our spiritual growth.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Wayne Giles as he dives into the paradoxical nature of faith and strength, reflecting on how true courage is facing fear despite feeling it. Drawing from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and his personal experiences, Wayne helps us understand that faith isn't about avoiding fear, but about walking straight into it with spiritual empowerment. In Step 4, we are challenged to face our fears, weaknesses, and past mistakes, and as Wayne shares, this process is where real courage is born.“The verdict of the ages is that faith means courage.” In the journey of recovery, faith provides the strength to face life's most daunting challenges, including our inner struggles. This step in the AA process invites us to rely on a power greater than ourselves and to continue growing spiritually, even when fear is present. Through this, we discover that true courage emerges from confronting life head-on.Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the Interactive Step Experience (ISE) both guide us through these powerful lessons, teaching us to face fear with faith and courage. With the help of the Spirit, we learn to walk through our fears and challenges, knowing we are supported by something greater than ourselves.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Wayne Giles as he delves deeper into Step 4 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. This crucial part of the process teaches us that while making a decision is essential, it holds little lasting value unless we immediately follow it with action. In Step 4, we face the things in ourselves that have been blocking us from true spiritual progress. We often dismiss harmful behaviors, chalking them up to “just the way I am.” But are these patterns really serving us?Wayne emphasizes the importance of being rid of these patterns, as our past efforts to simply accept them have failed to bring us peace. This personal house-cleaning is more than just a moral inventory—it's a strenuous effort to remove the barriers between us and the connection we seek with a power greater than ourselves. Only by facing these aspects of our character can we begin to grow and truly live in harmony with others.In both the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program and the Interactive Step Experience (ISE), this personal examination is the cornerstone of lasting recovery. It's about facing ourselves, getting rid of what holds us back, and making space for spiritual growth. This is where the journey to freedom begins—by removing the things that block us from our own potential.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Wayne Giles as he guides us through a critical aspect of Step 4 in Alcoholics Anonymous: the practice of releasing shame and taking ownership of our part in past events. Wayne reflects on the common advice from therapists to “lay it down” and move on, yet many of us struggle with how to let go of feelings like shame, guilt, and regret. For years, shame may have been a constant companion, and even today, moments of shame may creep back in. However, the wisdom in the Big Book teaches us how to put those feelings down for good.In Step 4, the authors of Alcoholics Anonymous encourage us to focus on our own actions and mistakes instead of getting trapped in blame and resentment. “Putting out of our minds the wrongs others had done, we resolutely looked for our own mistakes.” By doing this, we shift the focus inward, identifying where we've been selfish, dishonest, self-seeking, or fearful. The process of taking an honest moral inventory frees us from carrying burdens that aren't ours to carry and allows us to step into spiritual growth.Through this deep self-reflection and acknowledgment of our faults, we clear the path for healing and personal growth, an essential teaching in both AA and the Interactive Step Experience (ISE).For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Wayne Giles as he continues to guide us through the critical self-examination process in Step 4 of Alcoholics Anonymous. In this session, Wayne delves into the heart of our actions and reactions: fear. Often, when we reflect on moments of anger, we realize that it's just a secondary emotion masking a deeper fear. Whether it's fear of rejection, fear of failure, or fear of losing control, these feelings drive much of our selfishness and self-seeking behaviors.In Step 4, the Big Book directs us to take an honest inventory of our own faults. “Though a situation had not been entirely our fault, we tried to disregard the other person involved entirely.” The inventory is about our part, not theirs. Writing down our own mistakes and missteps brings a magical clarity to the process. By listing where we've been selfish, dishonest, or fearful, we begin to dismantle the walls that our ego has built.The work in this step helps us to recognize that much of our behavior is rooted in fear, and by confronting these fears honestly, we open ourselves up to healing and spiritual growth. In both Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the Interactive Step Experience (ISE), this process of uncovering and writing down our fears and flaws is a crucial step toward freedom from the bondage of self.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” – John F. Kennedy. Recently, I have been working with several banks across the US. In Step 2 of my sales process, I teach how to authentically and organically build rapport with clients and prospects and at networking events. I created a template and am working on another AI tool (more to come on that in the future) that I share with the people in the class to create a dynamic Value Statement to use in various venues and situations.     At the top of the worksheet, I ask everyone to write some fun facts about themselves and then fun facts about their organization.  Most people find this exercise challenging to share fun facts about themselves and ultimately create a VS that is predominately about the organization because we are taught how to play small and how not to brag or appear arrogant.     The reality is that a strong Value Statement should reflect the cool and unique things about you.  People do business with people they know, like, and trust, yet we give that power by bragging about our organization.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/aDIZsbkzEzE   About Connie Whitman: Known for her high-energy, passionate, heart-centered, and enthusiastic approach to sales, teaching, and coaching, Connie Whitman has been the CEO of Changing the Sales Game for 20+ years, helping business owners, leaders, and sales teams build powerhouse organizations.   Connie is a four-time #1 International Best-Selling author, including her book ESP (Easy Sales Process): 7-Steps to Sales Success, speaker, and podcast host.  Her inspired teaching, transformational tools, and content ensure business owners and salespeople grow their revenue streams through enhanced communication skills.    She is thrilled to share inspiring content on her international podcasts “Changing the Sales Game” and “Enlightenment of Change.”   Stalk me online!

Join Joe McDonald as he dives into the concept of ego and its role in hindering personal growth. In Step 3 of Alcoholics Anonymous, we are encouraged to set aside stubbornness, prejudice, and the idea that our human intelligence is the highest power. The authors of the Big Book invite us to open our hearts and minds to the possibility of a power greater than ourselves, even suggesting that we lay aside our resistance to organized religion. This is not just a challenge of belief but a call to personal growth through humility and willingness. As we move forward together, we encourage you to walk with us, setting aside any preconceived notions and allowing space for new understanding. This journey requires an open heart and mind, and we are here to support your growth every step of the way.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

We're all children of the living God. We have ceased fighting anything or anyone, even alcohol. So, go to any meeting and when someone tells you how they're just struggling and struggling, there's the one you need to help. Because if you're struggling, you're doing it wrong. We've ceased fighting anything or anyone—even alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl. I will lose that fight. It's got to be removed from me, and it will be removed from me if I humbly ask and then go out and serve. Why do I know that? Because it was removed from me, and it's happened for thousands of others I've encountered since then. I am not exaggerating. By this time, sanity will have returned. In Step 2, I was just hoping for that. In this session, we explore the transformative power of Steps 10 and 11 from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on the importance of ceasing the fight, embracing humility, and finding sanity through service. Join us as we share personal stories, discuss the practical applications of these principles, and provide tips for integrating them into daily life.

Step 1 taught us about our powerlessness over alcohol and the unmanageability of our lives, setting the stage for the acceptance necessary in recovery. In Step 2, we recognized a power greater than ourselves, capable of restoring us to sanity. Now, as we transition to Step 3, we face the decision to surrender our will and our lives to the care of this higher power. This step is about deepening our trust and connection with a power beyond our understanding, an essential move for lasting change. Throughout this session, we'll discuss what it means to truly make a decision, how to rely on a higher power, and the impact this can have on our lives. We invite you to approach this lesson with openness, reflecting on your own journey, the challenges you've overcome, and the transformative possibilities that await. Remember, this step is not just a formality—it's a pivotal moment of commitment to a new way of life guided by spiritual principles. Join us as we explore the profound implications of surrendering control and embracing guidance from a higher power.

In Step 7, we confront the reality of our imperfections and the misguided efforts to hide them, which often disconnects us from our true source of strength. This video delves into how our design to be ‘imperfectly perfect' gets overshadowed by our cravings for sensory satisfactions, leading us astray. We discuss how redirecting these desires towards healthier, more meaningful pursuits can unlock our true potential and connect us with the power we often shut out. Join us as we explore the transformative process of asking our Higher Power to remove our shortcomings, fostering a life of authenticity and empowerment.

Send us a Text Message."We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.”In Step 10, the focus is largely on keeping your thoughts and emotions in check, this step guides you to look at the very foundation of your restoration and recovery. As most should know by the time they've reached Step 11, the foundation of recovery is centered on your spiritual growth. Many don't realize in the early stages of recovery that every single step is about spirituality in one form or another.Those dealing with substance abuse or another form of compulsive and destructive behaviors, while in the midst of their destruction, don't understand the spiritual lessons to be learned and those that should be put into practice on a daily basis. Spirituality is not the same as religion!In recovery, we find that spirituality really is constantly developing and changing - just like us. You now have new situations and new people in your life who influence and impact your growth in powerful ways. This step lends you a hand-up, encouraging you to find ways to improve your conscious contact with God. By this time you already have awareness of the changes in your life that began as early as Step 2, but as you've progressed there's a new understanding in your life that improving your relationship with God comes from consistent prayer and meditation.I encourage you to pray this prayer daily: Lord, my prayer is that you would guide me to offer comfort to others rather than seeking it for myself. Help me to love others, like you love me. Show me how to forgive, so I can be forgiven and awaken me as I pursue eternal life. Amen! acourageousrecovery.com

In Step 4, we dive into understanding our anger, asking ourselves not only why we're angry with people but also with institutions and principles. This step encourages a deep exploration into all sources of resentment, including those we might initially overlook, like childhood experiences or systemic issues. It's about facing these deep-seated emotions and understanding the importance of acknowledging every aspect of our anger, even those we might have permission to ignore. This step is crucial for comprehensive healing and personal accountability.Join us for more inspiring recovery stories and transformative insights.Check out our website at: www.positionofneutrality.orgYouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@positionofneutrality721Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PositionOfNeutralitySpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3mGbAbcacTs83RhMsv6FmY?si=6531e7adfdbb480eRSS: Position of Neutrality | RSS.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@interactivestepexp?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc#JoeMcdonald #BrianReinhart #WayneGiles #JoeTeaches #AAprogram #AA #SacrificeForFaith #SpiritualLeadership #GuidedByFaith #OvercomingAdversity #DivineGuidance #ResilienceInFaith #WalkingTheTalk #PersonalTransformation #InspirationalContent #HelpingHands #CommunityOutreach #Rehabilitation #SecondChances #UnityInAction #InspirationInAction #PassionToHelp

In Step 4, we learn the crucial process of handling resentments by actively documenting them, not just discussing them. This step teaches us to put our resentments on paper, allowing us to confront and manage these emotions directly. It's a practical approach that moves us beyond talking to doing, ensuring we engage with our recovery in a concrete and structured way.Join us for more inspiring recovery stories and transformative insights.Check out our website at: www.positionofneutrality.orgYouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@positionofneutrality721Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PositionOfNeutralitySpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3mGbAbcacTs83RhMsv6FmY?si=6531e7adfdbb480eRSS: Position of Neutrality | RSS.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@interactivestepexp?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc#JoeMcdonald #BrianReinhart #WayneGiles #JoeTeaches #AAprogram #AA #SacrificeForFaith #SpiritualLeadership #GuidedByFaith #OvercomingAdversity #DivineGuidance #ResilienceInFaith #WalkingTheTalk #PersonalTransformation #InspirationalContent #HelpingHands #CommunityOutreach #Rehabilitation #SecondChances #UnityInAction #InspirationInAction #PassionToHelp

In Step 4, we confront the habits that have shaped our actions, like telling small lies or withdrawing from people due to past trauma. This step isn't about assigning blame for the trauma, but about recognizing how our ongoing reactions can lead to resentment—the biggest hurdle in recovery. By addressing our spiritual maladies, we find that once our spiritual health is realigned, our mental and physical health follow, supporting a holistic recovery.Join us for more inspiring recovery stories and transformative insights.Check out our website at: www.positionofneutrality.orgYouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@positionofneutrality721Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PositionOfNeutralitySpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3mGbAbcacTs83RhMsv6FmY?si=6531e7adfdbb480eRSS: Position of Neutrality | RSS.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@interactivestepexp?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc#JoeMcdonald #BrianReinhart #WayneGiles #JoeTeaches #AAprogram #AA #SacrificeForFaith #SpiritualLeadership #GuidedByFaith #OvercomingAdversity #DivineGuidance #ResilienceInFaith #WalkingTheTalk #PersonalTransformation #InspirationalContent #HelpingHands #CommunityOutreach #Rehabilitation #SecondChances #UnityInAction #InspirationInAction #PassionToHelp

In Step 4 of our recovery process, we explore the subtle behaviors and habits that have shaped our lives, often without our full awareness. This step challenges us to identify and understand the small, seemingly inconsequential actions we persist in, recognizing how they serve us and questioning whether they truly benefit us in the long run.Join us for more inspiring recovery stories and transformative insights.Check out our website at: www.positionofneutrality.orgYouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@positionofneutrality721Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PositionOfNeutralitySpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3mGbAbcacTs83RhMsv6FmY?si=6531e7adfdbb480eRSS: Position of Neutrality | RSS.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@interactivestepexp?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc#JoeMcdonald #BrianReinhart #WayneGiles #JoeTeaches #AAprogram #AA #SacrificeForFaith #SpiritualLeadership #GuidedByFaith #OvercomingAdversity #DivineGuidance #ResilienceInFaith #WalkingTheTalk #PersonalTransformation #InspirationalContent #HelpingHands #CommunityOutreach #Rehabilitation #SecondChances #UnityInAction #InspirationInAction #PassionToHelp

In Step 4, we learn not to deceive ourselves about our true nature. Like a meticulous business owner, we must take an honest inventory of our lives, uncovering the flaws and self-deceptions that lead to failure. This step teaches us to recognize how self-manifestation contributes to our struggles, setting the stage for genuine transformation.Join us for more inspiring recovery stories and transformative insights.Check out our website at: www.positionofneutrality.orgYouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@positionofneutrality721Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PositionOfNeutralitySpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3mGbAbcacTs83RhMsv6FmY?si=6531e7adfdbb480eRSS: Position of Neutrality | RSS.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@interactivestepexp?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc#JoeMcdonald #BrianReinhart #WayneGiles #JoeTeaches #AAprogram #AA #SacrificeForFaith #SpiritualLeadership #GuidedByFaith #OvercomingAdversity #DivineGuidance #ResilienceInFaith #WalkingTheTalk #PersonalTransformation #InspirationalContent #HelpingHands #CommunityOutreach #Rehabilitation #SecondChances #UnityInAction #InspirationInAction #PassionToHelp

This episode marks the beginning of year number five of the IN STEP podcast. The theme of this program continues to be focused on walking with God as an individual. Each episode provides Biblical and practical help to enable a Christian to truly get to know God.

This episode is sponsored by: Experience Daily Breakthroughs With The 'Secrets Od Success' FREE Newsletter - Transform Your Life In Just 2 Minutes A Day! https://sparklp.co/p/78beb8f30a In today's episode of the Thinking Big Podcast, we dive into a transformative concept that has the power to reshape your reality: Faith. In Step 2 of Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich," we explore how faith, the belief in the unseen, acts as a catalyst in turning dreams into tangible achievements. Faith: The Light Switch to Your Dreams Imagine entering a dark room and flipping on a light switch. Instantaneously, darkness is replaced by light, revealing the room's contents. This analogy perfectly illustrates the role of faith in our lives. Faith ignites the belief in our capabilities and the inevitability of our dreams becoming our reality. The Foundation of Faith At its core, faith is a state of mind, a conviction so profound that it transcends mere hope or desire. It's about instilling in ourselves a belief so unshakeable that our goals, regardless of their grandeur, become attainable. Setting the Stage for Success Success begins with clarity. Vague aspirations like "I want to be wealthy" lack the specificity needed to guide us. By setting precise goals, such as "I want to earn $1,000,000 annually through my coaching business," we provide ourselves a clear target, a destination for our journey towards success. The Muscle of Faith Building faith isn't about fostering blind optimism but nurturing a belief in our potential so potent that it materializes into our existence. It involves conditioning our mindset, much like cultivating a garden, where the seeds of our ambitions are sown and nurtured with positive affirmations and visualizations. Real-Life Inspirations Thomas Edison's story exemplifies perseverance fueled by faith. Despite numerous failures, Edison's unwavering faith in his vision for the light bulb propelled him towards eventual success, demonstrating that faith, coupled with persistence, overcomes even the most formidable challenges. Faith in Action True faith necessitates action. It's not enough to merely believe; we must also take the steps necessary to achieve our goals. Whether it's changing our diet to lose weight or diligently working towards our business objectives, faith demands action. Strengthening Your Faith Faith is akin to a muscle that grows stronger with use. Each obstacle overcome and each goal achieved fortifies our faith, making subsequent aspirations more accessible. Your Faith Journey Embark on a journey of faith by integrating it with other principles of success. Utilize tools like vision boards to keep your goals in sight and practice affirmations to reinforce your belief in their achievability. Remember, faith is not a static trait but a dynamic journey, constantly evolving and strengthening with every challenge faced and every milestone reached.

To skip the intro, tap 3:25   Steps 6 and 7 are crucial stages in a recovery program, guiding individuals on their path to recovery. In Step 6, participants become willing to let go of their character defects—those negative traits or behaviors that hinder personal growth and well-being. This step calls for self-reflection and a genuine desire for change. It requires individuals to confront their shortcomings with honesty and openness, laying the groundwork for personal transformation. Recognizing the need for change and cultivating a willingness to let go of ingrained patterns are essential aspects of Step 6, setting the stage for the subsequent step.

“We are reading to fast!”  This is typically something that we would never say about our study groups. However, as we sit at the feet of St. John Climacus, we come to the realization that we could sit with a single saying for months on end and not fail to be nourished.  We concluded our discussion of Step 23 and the difficulty with blasphemous thoughts. The evil one in his envy will seek to distract us with blasphemous thoughts that come like a flash of lightning before the mind. Our one response should be to lay this great burden upon the Lord, to entrust it to him, knowing that it comes not from our hearts but from the malice of the evil one.  In Step 24 Saint John begins to discuss meekness, simplicity, and guilelessness. As Saint John begins to define it for us, we suddenly experience ourselves as moving too briskly. Meekness is an “unchangeable state of mind, a rock overlooking the sea of anger”. These thoughts alone are enough to alter our view of this great virtue. In the face of the chaos of living in a fallen world or the experience of the hatred and anger of others, meekness becomes a buttress that is unshakable and keeps us from being swept away by touchiness of mind or irritability of heart. Meekness creates the desire for simplicity; to create a place where the Lord will find rest within us. It allows us to maintain dominion over our heart by the simple act of mortifying the intellect and private judgment. In the weeks to come, may we linger along with these thoughts and come to desire this great virtue.   ---   Text of chat during the group:   00:01:31 Suzanne: Hello!

And any bad thought against a woman really reflects on our Lady, the ideal of a woman. I don't like that so it helps keep the interior life in check, to dash the infants of evil thoughts against the rocks.   00:38:02 sharonfisher: Replying to "How can insecurity b..."   Thank you - I think my question was more self-centered (ie, not appropriate!)   00:38:38 David Swiderski: On my door to my room I have a quote which I see when I leave and when I go to bed- (In loving one another, God in us made flesh).

So it's a matter of that violence being directed towards biting our own tongue (or what have you) and not against another.   00:45:09 Suzanne: Fr. Ripperger talks about demons putting negative perspectives on things that are pure illusions, and that get us angry.   00:46:38 Ashley Kaschl: To Suzanne's point, it's the cogitative power of the brain that Fr.

Ask David: Burn Out; When Challenging Thoughts Doesn't Work; and more! Featuring Dr. Matthew May In today's podcast, Matt, Rhonda and David discuss four challenging questions from podcast fans like you: 1. Joseph asks if it's okay to take a break when you get “burned out.” Below, David expands on this and describes the difference between “healthy” and “unhealthy burnout.” 2. Joseph also asks why your feelings might not change when you challenge your negative thought with a positive thought that's 100% true. 3. Dan asks about Step 4 of the Relationship Journal, which is the most difficult and important step in the TEAM interpersonal model—see exactly how you're forcefully causing and reinforcing the very relationship problem you're complaining about. For example, if the person doesn't “listen,” you'll see that you're forcing them not to listen. If she or he doesn't open up and express feelings, you'll see that you prevent them from opening up. And if you think your partner doesn't treat you in a loving and respectful way, you'll suddenly see exactly why this is happening—if you have the courage to take look and see: But if fact, this is one of the “Great Deaths” of the “self” in TEAM-CBT, and very few folks are willing to “die” in this way. 4. Finally, Clay asks about EMDR. He's been treated with it without success. David and Matt weigh in with their thoughts about EMDR. This question was not addressed on the podcast, since some practitioners of EMDR might be offended by David and Matt's thinking, but they did describe their thoughts in the show notes below. If you are an EMDR enthusiast, you might prefer NOT to read our comments. Joseph writes: Thanks, David, for sharing so much on the podcasts! I have a couple questions. Personally, I find that when I'm burnt out, I get a lot more anxious automatic thoughts. While it's definitely good to combat these distorted thoughts by replacing them with realistic ones, my takeaway is that it's also sometimes wise to change our lives / circumstances (e.g. to take a break). By the way, I also wanted to ask if you've ever faced a situation where you are convinced that a thought is distorted and irrational (and you know what the realistic thought is), but you still can't shake it off? I sometimes get stuck when I already know the "right answer" (ie. what the realistic thoughts are based on the methods you've taught), but I just can't seem to get my brain to fully believe it. For example, I was recently on vacation and a small blip made me think "my vacation is ruined!". I immediately identified it as all-or-nothing thinking, and replaced it with "my vacation is still going very well even if it's not perfect" (and I'm convinced this thought is true), but somehow my mind kept going back to the automatic thought again and again. Curious if you've ever experienced this. Thanks again so much for your time and your teaching; just wanted to say I really appreciate it! :) Regards Joseph David's Reply to Joseph. Thanks for the great questions. We address both of them on an upcoming podcast. Here's the quick response. Yes, it is okay to take a break when you feel “burned out.” However, you can get “burned out” in a healthy or unhealthy way. For example, after I edit for two or three hours, which I love, my brain gets “burned out.” So I take a break and come back later, maybe even a day later, and I feel refreshed and filled with enthusiasm about writing and editing some more, because I love these activities. When I was in private practice in Philadelphia, I saw 17 patients back to back on Wednesdays. That way, I could have a three day weekend. Actually, I loved it and as the day went on, I got higher and higher. At the end I was exhausted, but exhilarated. I was never “burned out” because I loved what I was doing, and the clinical work was SO rewarding! However, sometimes I made a mistake and a patient would get very upset, sometimes angry with me, or felt hurt. THAT was when I got suddenly burned out and exhausted. But it wasn't because of my work, or the conflict, but rather my thoughts about it, which generally involved a combination of self criticism and frustration with the patient, both the result of distorted thoughts, generally Self-Directed and Other-Directed Should Statements. And THAT kind of “burned out” won't improve with a break. The answer is challenging and changing your own inner dialogue, as well as your dialogue with the other person, using the “failure” in the relationship as an opportunity to listen and support and create a deeper and more meaningful relationship. With regard to your second excellent question, we explored that in depth in the podcast, and also made it a problem for our listeners to think about. So tune in for the answers! This is a popular question I've been answering for more than 40 years, and the answers tell us a great deal about how cognitive therapy actually works. Thanks so much, Joseph!  Subject: Relationship Journal Gem I Found Dan (a former participant in David and Jill's Tuesday training group at Stanford) writes: Hello to the Dynamic Duo (David and Jill), I came across this doc for Step 4 of the Relationship Journal, but I don't really understand it and I don't remember the context. I know it was from the Tuesday Group years ago. It says it's about conceptualizing the problem, just not sure how to utilize this in step 4. Thanks. (You will find this document in the show notes below.) ~Dan (Daniel C. Linehan, MSW, LCSW) David's Reply Hi Dan, Great question. In this document, I am trying to make it a bit easier for folks to see how they are triggering the very problem they are complaining about. So, I have listed three categories of common complaints. For example, an Empathy complaint would be that “My partner doesn't listen,” or “always has to be right.” Then you ask, “If I wanted to force my partner to behave like this, how could I so?” Well, one good way would be to interrupt when your partner is trying to talk, or argue and insist your partner is wrong when they're trying to make a point, and so forth. This would force your partner to argue and insist that they are right! It is pretty basic and obvious. But most human beings don't “get it,” and in part that's because a great many don't want to. Blaming the other person seems way more popular than looking at your own role in the problem these days. Good to hear from you on this important topic! People can usually “see” how step 3 of the Relationship Journal works—you simply examine what you wrote down in Step 2, and you can almost always see no E (Empathy), no A (assertively sharing your feelings with “I Feel” Statements, and no R (conveying respect or liking to the other person, even when you're angry.) But most people don't seem to have the natural mental aptitude or the stomach for Step 4, where you go beyond Step 3 and explain EXACTLY how you FORCE the other person to behave in the exact way you're complaining about. The document in the link is an attempt to help people with Step 4—IF you are willing to examine your own role in the problem. In Step 4, you ask yourself what category you see the other person in, and there are three choices to make it fairly simple. You might feel that they don't listen or try to see your point of view. This would be an E = no Empathy complaint. Or you might feel like they can't, or won't, share their feelings. Instead, they might just keep arguing, or they might refuse to open up. This would be an A = no Assertiveness complaint. Or, you might complaint that they don't treat you with warmth, love, or respect. That would be an R = no Respect complaint. This makes it much easier to “see” how your response to the other person in Step 2 actually causes and reinforces the exact behavior you're complaining about. Lots of people get defensive or annoyed at this step of the RJ, and refuse to continue! That's because Step 4 is all about the third “Great Death” of the “self,” or “ego,” in TEAM-CBT. Most of us don't want to “die” in this way. It can feel humiliating, or shameful, to pinpoint your own role in the problem. But, there's usually a big reward—you're suddenly “reborn” into a far more loving and satisfying relationship. In the podcast, brave and wonderful Rhonda provided David and Matt with an example when she was visiting her son and daughter in law in Germany last month to help out with their twin baby girls. This example really brings this “Great Death” to life, and we are grateful to Rhonda for helping us in this very vulnerable and real way! Feel free to ask again if I have not made it clear. To me, this phenomenon of causing the very problems we are complaining about in our relationships with others is incredibly fascinating. However, change involves the “death of the self,” which is painful, because you have to see, usually for the first time, your own role in the problem you're complaining about. It is based on the Buddhist idea that we create our own interpersonal reality at every moment of every day. In other words, we CREATE our enemies, and then whine and complaint about it! Most people don't want to see this! They want the therapist (or friend they're confiding to) to agree that the other person REALLY IS a jerk, or to blame, or whatever. They just want to complain and blame and feel superior! In my book, Feeling Good Together, I think I said something to the effect that we “want to do our dirty work in the dark.” In other words, we don't want to turn the lights on so we can “see” how we're actually causing the conflict. The person asking for help can nearly always be shown to be the 100% cause of the conflict. This technique is one I recommend when working with an individual, and not a couple. Other less confrontational techniques are probably more effective when you are working with both partners at the same time. Warmly, david (David D. Burns, MD) Here's the document: Conceptualizing the Patient's Complaint in Step 4 of the Relationship Journal (RJ) By David D. Burns, MD* Problem Area Specific Complaint—S/he Complaints about the other person's lack of E = Empathy Won't listen Does not understand me Always has to be right  Always criticizes me Constantly complains and ignores my advice Constantly brags and talks about himself / herself Doesn't value my thinking or ideas. Is defensive and argumentative Doesn't care about my feelings. Complaints about the other person's lack of A = Assertiveness Cannot (or will not) express his or her feelings Cannot deal with negative feelings Expects me to read his or her mind Clams up and refuses to talk to me Won't be honest with me pouts and slams doors, insisting s/he isn't mad! won't tell me how she / he is feeling. isn't honest with me. suddenly explodes for no reason, out of the blue. Complaints about the other person's lack of R = Respect Always has to get his or her way Is stubborn Is controlling Does all the taking, while I do all the giving Uses me Puts me down Is judgmental Does not care about me or respect me Only cares about is himself / herself Constantly complains and ignores my advice. Explanation. When you are using the Relationship Journal, you will usually have a complaint about the other person. For example, you may complain that she or he “never listens,” or “is always si critical,” or “constantly complains but never listen to my advice.” If you write down one thing the other person said in Step 1 of the RJ, and exactly what you said in Step 2, you can usually easily analyze your response with the EAR Checklist. That shows what you did wrong, and why your response was ineffective. You can also use the Bad Communication Checklist to pinpoint your communication errors, and some people prefer this format. In Step 4, you go spell out precisely why your response will FORCE the other person to keep doing the exact thing you're complaining about. One easy way to conceptualize the nature of your complaint about the other person is with our convenient EAR algorithm. This document can help you “see” the problem you're complaining about when you do Step 4 of the RJ. That makes it much easier to discover exactly how you are triggering and reinforces the exact problem you're complaining about. LMK what you think! Clay writes: Hello David, I know you no longer practice, but could I please get an opinion from you on EMDR? So far I have done about six sessions of EMDR and I feel worse than when I began. Does one typically feel worse before one feels better with EMDR? I know you are for Team CBT, and I think it has a lot of merit and science behind it! It just seems a little magical to me that by alternately tapping that I am going to resolve traumas or anxiety issues that happened a long time ago and maybe even recently, but I am going into it with an open mind and the possibilities. Best to you and your family, David, and thank you for the revolution in cognitive therapy you started with Aaron Beck and Albert Ellis! Kind regards, Clay Wilson Hi Clay, I've never been an EMDR enthusiast. To me, it's just cognitive exposure, which definitely can have value in anxiety, coupled with “eye jiggling.” Many of it's proponents seem to think that they have found the holy grail, and I have no doubt that a few will slam me for me non-supportive response! And please remember that I'm a cynic, so take it with a grain of salt. In TEAM, we use more than a hundred M = Methods, and only after doing the T, E, A steps, which are absolutely crucial to success in most cases. Best, david PS I'm copying Rhonda and Matt. If we used your question on an Ask David, would you be open to that, with or without your correct first name? Happy to disguise your name. David D. Burns, MD Dear David, I greatly value your ideas and that you are a cynic. In 6 sessions of the EMDR, I have not felt any better. You are absolutely free to use my name and you don't need to disguise it at all. I live in Columbus, Montana and as far as I know, there is only one person in Bozeman who does Team CBT. I sent her an email but didn't hear back but it's 100 miles from us anyway. Thank you very, very much for your view on EMDR! I was thinking something similar myself. All the very best to you and your family! Most Sincerely, Clay David's Response HI Clay, You're welcome. My website is full of free resources, anxiety class, depression class, more than 300 TEAM podcasts, and more. My book, When Panic Attacks, is pretty cheap in paperback. Also, beta testing of thee Feeling Good App is still free. T = Testing, E = Empathy, A = Addressing Resistance, and M = Methods (more than 100.) A is likely the most important step! Thanks, best, david Matt's Response Hi Dan and David, My guess is that EMDR showed some early results due to the tendency of most therapists to avoid exposure techniques and try to 'smooth over' anxious thinking and trauma, rather than just dive in and explore it, fearlessly. I suspect this created a large cohort of anxious and traumatized patients, waiting in the wings, for such treatment, so it showed immediate favorable data. However, this method is only one of dozens, and the setup is key. Why would you want to overcome something traumatic? Wouldn't it be more useful to remember it and avoid anything that resembles it? Meaning, there may be powerful methods, including exposure and (usually) less-effective methods, like 'eye-jiggling' and other distraction techniques out there for anyone, but why bother with these if the symptoms are helpful and appropriate? This is the main idea in TEAM . People recover when they want to recover, not when someone applies the correct methodology. -Matt Hi Dan, David, and Matt:  In addition to being a TEAM therapist, I also practice EMDR.  I find it to be very effective, especially when used within the TEAM structure.  It may not be for everyone, but it's great to have many options for our clients. -Rhonda  David's comment. Yes, and here Matt's is pointing out some of the paradoxical “Outcome Resistance” strategies we use with anxious patients when doing TEAM therapy. We become the voice of the patient's resistance to change, and verbalize all the really positive things about the anxiety symptoms: how they protect us from danger and express our core values as human beings. Paradoxically, this often reduces resistance and opens the door to change. In TEAM, we treat the human being with systematic TEAM therapy. We do not treat symptoms with techniques. The meaning of this may be hard to “see” if you haven't seen or experienced it. But there are a large number of actual therapy sessions your can listen to in the podcasts. Best, David Thanks for asking such terrific questions and for listening! We all greatly appreciate your support. Keep your questions and comments (negative as well as positive) coming! Rhonda, Matt, and David
