Triggered and True is an emotional health podcast where Laura Duncan teaches The Compassion Method — a process for understanding emotional triggers, healing from shame, and reconnecting with your true self. In this special series episode, Laura and client-turned-co-host Brian Freise unpack the performance trap: the exhausting belief that acceptance has to be earned through behavior — and why the missing link for so many devoted believers isn't more devotion, but the unhealed wiring beneath their shame, anger, and unforgiveness.In this episode, you'll learn:
Do you find yourself using prayer and worship to avoid your internal turmoil? In this episode of Triggered and True, Brian Friesen and Laura Duncan explore the thin line between genuine faith and "medicating with God," a form of spiritual bypassing where we use religion to escape our pain rather than inviting God into it. We tackle one of the most common objections to emotional healing: Is the Compassion Method Biblical? Laura shares her journey from performing "religious routines" to having a felt experience with Jesus, explaining how our earthly wounds can often skew our perception of a perfect Heavenly Father.
Are your own objections keeping you from coming home to yourself?
Are you using your past pain, anxiety, or "chips on your shoulder" to drive your success? While society often views this as noble or "gritty," this episode reveals why fueling your life with triggered energy is a fast track to burnout and limited results. In Episode 69, Brian Friesen and Laura Duncan deconstruct the "noble" myth of suffering. They explore the biological and emotional costs of staying "triggered" to get work done and offer a more sustainable, limitless alternative: True Self Energy.
In this powerful conversation, host Brian Freise sits down with Laura Duncan to explore why discipline and productivity alone can't deliver lasting freedom, and why learning to be still might be the most radical and healing thing we can do.Drawing from Andrew Huberman's podcast on brain science, Cal Newport's Deep Work, and timeless biblical wisdom (Psalm 46:10, John 8), they unpack:Why constant stimulation (phones, email, multitasking) blocks memory consolidation, learning, and real restHow boredom is often a disguised cry for connection, especially connection with ourselvesWhy forced abstinence (e.g. quitting social media cold turkey) rarely creates freedom, true freedom comes from connection, not just behavior changeThe neuroscience behind “gap time” and how brief moments of stillness actually accelerate neuroplasticityHow Jesus modeled living beyond the mundane by regularly withdrawing into stillness and presenceA dead-simple daily practice: the 5-minute attunement exercise → 2–3 minutes of silence → Gently notice body sensations, thoughts, and emotions (no fixing) → Anchor with one true-self word or feelingWhether you're overwhelmed by busyness, struggling with insomnia despite discipline, or just feel disconnected even when you're “doing all the right things,” this episode offers both the why (science + scripture) and the how (a practical starting point).
In this episode of Triggered and True, host Brian Freise and emotional health consultant Laura Duncan explore trust through the Compassion Method lens. They reveal trust as an internal rebuild—rooted in childhood pain, not external fixes. Betrayal hurts, but healing comes from self-trust, compassion for triggers, and aligning decisions with your true self.Key InsightsTrust's Roots: Unmet early needs create self-doubt; address pain first to foster safer relationships. Biblical examples like the Prodigal Son show boundaries without shame.Decision-Making: Shift from reactive "triggered" choices to visionary ones—Brian's business breakthroughs prove it. Trust your gut, even if "wrong"; feedback helps, but ownership empowers.Childhood to Freedom: Separate failure from worth, mistakes don't define you. Consequences are real, but much different coming from a place of compassion vs. shame.Perfect for betrayal survivors or decision-doubters: Gain tools for authentic leadership and emotional freedom. Trust isn't earned. it's uncovered.

In this episode of Triggered and True, Laura Duncan and Brian Freise explore shame, a universal barrier to emotional and spiritual health. Using Genesis 3, they trace shame's origins to Adam and Eve's knowledge of good and evil, which led to hiding from God and self. Shame, a "virus" in our operating system, fuels anxiety, depression, and identity confusion by tying what we do to who we are. Laura explains why "doing better" feeds shame and offers compassion as the antidote. Learn to identify shame through triggers like "I should," blame, or feeling inadequate. Reflect on your own triggers as we prepare for part two, where Brian shares his journey healing shame with the Compassion Method.

Na voz de Billie Holiday em 1939, essa icônica canção e poema de três estrofes de Abel Merpool, um professor judeu americano e compositor filiado ao partido comunista, ganhou destaque como uma das maiores bofetadas contra o racismo, a canção modelo que praticamente inspirou boa parte das canções de protesto americanas que vieram depois. A primeira versão foi na voz da também cantora de jazz Laura Duncan, mas foi Holiday que de fato a fez virar uma canção símbolo da luta antirracista. A canção se tornou tão significativa que mereceu uma bela biografia do jornalista David Margolick, “Strange Fruit: Billie Holiday e a biografia de uma canção”. Os versos descrevem através da dura e bela metáfora “fruto estranho” as práticas de linchamento e assassinato de corpos negros que eram pendurados em árvores. Leonard Feather, crítico importante de jazz, considera a primeira canção de protesto relevante na história da música, "o primeiro clamor não emudecido contra o racismo”. Margolick, autor do livro, cita como a música vivia em uma espécie de “quarentena artística”. Não era seguro cantá-la e mesmo nos lugares onde conseguiam executá-la ela podia ser recebida negativamente . Ele fala do contraste entre uma cantora negra que cantava com profundo sentimento uma canção trágica de protesto sobre linchamentos e uma plateia branca que saía para se divertir, dar umas risadas, encher a cara e, no fim, ficava em choque.
