If the words ‘let me know if you need anything’ make you panic instead of feel supported — this one’s for you. This Quick Reset is a nervous system-level sigh of relief for the mums who feel safest surviving in silence. If you’ve ever shut down instead of speaking up, snapped when someone finally offered to help, or felt like asking for support meant erasing your worth — this episode will hit home. Hard. We unpack the trauma behind “I’ve got it,” the invisible legacy of pathological self-reliance, and how masking your needs became part of your personality. But it’s not who you are — it’s what you learned. It’s time to stop waiting until burnout to be visible. This episode offers small scripts, mindset shifts, and reframes that make asking for help feel less like failure — and more like a form of love. ✨ IN THIS RESET: Why asking for help feels like failure (especially for high-functioning women) How ‘good girl conditioning’ trained you to suppress needs Why no one notices you're struggling — and why that’s not your fault The trauma loop of independence, silence, and resentment Scripts to ask for support without shame When your meltdown isn’t about dinner — it’s about years of invisible labour Rewiring your worth away from being useful Real-life strategies to pre-negotiate support (before the spiral) Giving yourself the grace to stop performing strength

Why Beating Yourself Up Isn't Making You Better Rewiring the Inner Critic For most of us men, we were raised on self-esteem, (either resourceful input, or non-resourceful input) Be confident. Stand tall. Don't screw up. Win at all costs. That's self-esteem culture. It's about feeling good about yourself when you're doing well — when you're successful, strong, admired, competent, and on your game.  But the second you fall short? That's when self-esteem gets shaky. You feel like less of a man. This is where self-compassion comes in — and most of us weren't taught this growing up. What's the Difference? Self-Esteem Self-esteem says: “I'm valuable because I'm good at something.” But what happens when you're not good? When you fail? When you screw up as a dad, partner, or professional? You beat yourself up. You think you're weak. You try harder, you push down or numb feelings, you obsess, or you isolate. Self-Compassion Self-compassion says: “Even when I mess up, I still matter.” It's not about lowering your standards or letting yourself off the hook. It's about treating yourself like you would treat a friend. You don't rip him to shreds when he's struggling — you encourage him. You support him. You give him a chance to recover and rise. Why This Matters for Men A lot of men stay stuck in silence because they think they have to “man up” through every failure. We're told emotions make us soft. That kindness toward ourselves is weakness. But the truth? Beating ourselves into the ground never made us better — it just made us more disconnected, more numb, and more alone. Self-compassion isn't soft. It's strength with grace. It's resilience over shame. It's authenticity without self-hate. We often refuse to use self-compassion because we think it's lazy or we will lose motivation if we let ourselves off the hook.  So Which One Should You Build? Both. But start with self-compassion. Because when your confidence fails, your self-worth shouldn't. Confidence is built on success. Compassion is built for failing. And you're going to need both.

We're gonna need a bigger podcast... In honour of the 50th anniversary of the release of Jaws - one of the most iconic shark movies of all time - we are bringing you a very special bonus episode wholly dedicated to the film. Host Isla is joined by two jawsome guests: shark scientist and science communicator Amani Webber-Schultz (@curly_biologist), and social scientist and Associate Professor in public policy, Dr Chris Pepin-Neff (@csyd2202). Together, they discuss the cultural impact of Jaws and its negative effects on public perceptions of sharks and shark conservation, as well as its positive influences - including sparking the careers of a whole generation of shark scientists. And, they take a deep dive into the film itself, reliving their favourite scenes, sharing behind-the-scenes facts, and dreaming up their own pitches to Hollywood.

When we think of autism, ADHD, or even trauma, we often place them in separate boxes, as distinct diagnoses with different treatment paths. But what if the reality is far more connected? What if complex trauma itself is a form of neurodivergence? What if masking, sensory overwhelm, and dissociation are not flaws to be fixed, but intelligent adaptations of a nervous system doing its best to survive? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by Dr. Megan Anna Neff, clinical psychologist, author of Self-Care for Autistic People, and co-host of the Divergent Conversations podcast. Dr. Neff sits down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful, eye-opening conversation about the deep overlap between autism, ADHD, complex PTSD, and sensory processing challenges and why embracing this intersection is key to healing and self-acceptance. Together, we explore how trauma shapes the neurodivergent brain, why so many autistic women remain undiagnosed, and how dissociation and emotional shutdowns are often rooted in sensory overload. Dr. Neff also shares her personal journey of late-diagnosed autism and ADHD, and the life-changing reframes that helped her make sense of her body and nervous system. This episode is not about pathologizing difference. It's about honoring the body's wisdom, reframing trauma as adaptation, and understanding why a nervous system-first approach to healing is essential. If you've struggled with masking, emotional dysregulation, chronic dissociation, or a lifetime of “being too much” or “not enough,” this conversation offers a compassionate, grounded lens to view your experience, and new possibilities for healing. Topics discussed in this episode: ● Masking: the hidden labor of social camouflage ● Why complex trauma is a form of neurodivergence ● Sensory trauma, sensory overload, and emotional shutdowns ● Dissociation as a protective nervous system response ● The gender gap in autism diagnosis and late identification ● How trauma and neurodivergence co-shape identity ● Reframing emotional expression and interoceptive deficits ● Why top-down cognitive strategies often fail without nervous system work ● Somatic and sensory tools for nervous system safety ● Why self-acceptance begins with honoring the body's adaptations Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: https://www.neurosomatic.com/leadership Learn more about Dr. Megan Anna Neff's work: Website: https://www.meganannaneff.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neurodivergent_insights/  Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the fall cohort now: https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

Hello, my beautiful friends—this week, we go deep. Not just into the roots of fear, but into the bold, often quiet heartbeat of courage. Inspired by Memorial Day and those I call the Maesters of bravery—from Grandma Gatewood's canvas shoes on the Appalachian Trail to my own personal moments of standing in fear and choosing love—we explore how real courage doesn't mean the fear disappears. It means something else matters more. And yes, that something is often love. In this episode, I share practical, research-backed tools to help you access your own courage—no matter how loud the fear feels. From hiking updates to history's unsung heroes (hello Sherpa Tenzing!), from family memories to the neuroscience of bravery, I hope this one sparks something in you. If it does, please share it. We all need reminders of our light.Reference:1.    Rate, C. R., Clarke, J. A., Lindsay, D. R., & Sternberg, R. J. (2007). Implicit theories of courage.

Pokud se v Japonsku ubytujete v hotelu, což pravděpodobně ano, pokud zavítáte do Japonska, asi zvolíte hotel s nabídkou snídaně v ceně.

Snídaně v japonském hotelu a hrnec s miso polévkou mě přivedly ke krátkému, leč intenzivnímu osudovému zastavení.

Die Windhoek Stadspolisie se hardhandige optrede teenoor informele verkopers voor ‘n kettingwinkel in die middestad kry steeds sterk kritiek. Volgens die Stad Windhoek kla besighede al meer oor informele verkopers wat onwettig voor hul winkels sake doen.

Kolik jazyků umíš, tolikrát jsi člověkem, tak zní heslo, které má zejména mladé lidi povzbuzovat k učení se cizích řečí. Někdo se jím řídí, někdo ne. Poznal jsem v životě lidi kteří byli v tomto ohledu mnohonásobnými lidmi. Nejvíc člověkem byl profesor srovnávacího jazykozpytu Pavel Trost. Bylo o něm známo, že přesně neví, kolik jazyků umí. Jeho manželka, spisovatelka Helena Šmahelová mi o něm vyprávěla milou historku.

This episode of "Coping" covers a discussion between Kathy and Kevin about self-compassion, addressing common myths and misconceptions. They reference Kristin Neff's research and quotes throughout the discussion. Kathy and Kevin debunk four main myths: that self-compassion is just feeling sorry for oneself, that it makes one weak and unmotivated, that it is selfish, and that it is the same as self-esteem. They emphasize that self-compassion involves recognizing shared human experiences, building resilience, fostering connection, and accepting imperfections. Kathy shares her initial skepticism about self-compassion, noting how she initially viewed it as unproductive. Kevin admits to thinking self-compassion was self-pity. Both now advocate for self-compassion as a means to nurture oneself, build strength, and enhance relationships with others. Kathy closes the discussion with a poem by John Donahue, encouraging gentle self-care. Highlights Introduction to Self-Compassion and Addressing Misunderstandings - Kathy introduces a new series on self-compassion, highlighting its values in upcoming episodes. - Kevin acknowledges common misunderstandings about self-compassion, admitting he once doubted its usefulness, viewing it as self-pity or a sign of weakness that would reduce productivity. - Kathy mentions that eight years ago, she didn't fully grasp the depth and practices of self-compassion, and how it can lead to increased connection, strength, and resilience. - Kathy and Kevin plan to debunk four major myths about self-compassion and reveal its power. Myth 1: Self-Compassion is Just Feeling Sorry for Myself - Kevin admits he used to equate self-compassion with self-pity, feeling bad when things went wrong. - Kevin clarifies that self-pity is self-focused, involving questions like "Why me?" and dwelling on negative aspects, whereas self-compassion is different. - Kathy explains that self-compassion reminds us of our shared human experience, acknowledging that everyone struggles, which fosters connection rather than isolation. - Kevin notes that self-pity isolates, while self-compassion nurtures the hurting part of ourselves, encouraging us to seek support and connection. - Kevin suggests that during challenging times, acknowledging pain and asking what one needs can aid healing. - Kathy mentions Kristin Neff as a leading researcher in self-compassion, whose myths they are summarizing and paraphrasing. - Kathy shares Neff's quote: "Self-compassion frames the experience of imperfection in light of the shared human experience." - Kevin emphasizes that this perspective shifts us from isolation to connection, allowing imperfections to be viewed in a broader context. Myth 2: Self-Compassion Will Make Me Weak and Unmotivated - Kathy admits she used to believe that being harsh on herself was necessary for motivation and change, fearing that self-care would lead to a breakdown. - Kathy states that research shows the opposite: being harsh wears you down, while self-compassion builds resilience and strength to face daily struggles. - Kevin acknowledges that self-compassion is a challenging practice that becomes more habitual with effort, providing needed energy and support. - Kevin shares Neff's quote: "The supportive stance of self-compassion provides strength to face the battles of life," extending it to include internal battles. - Kevin discusses using self-compassion in therapy to address painful memories and insecurities, finding it a source of strength for internal struggles. - Kathy uses the analogy of putting on an oxygen mask first, emphasizing that self-compassion enables us to help others by acknowledging our own needs. - Kathy concludes that being kind to oneself is not weak but smart and strong. - Kevin, drawing from his experience as a first responder, reiterates the importance of self-care to effectively care for others. - Kevin emphasizes that one must practice self-care to genuinely encourage it in others. Myth 3: Self-Compassion Is Selfish - Kathy introduces the third myth: self-compassion is selfish, with people worrying that focusing on self-care will lead to neglecting others. - Kevin argues that compassion is not a limited resource; being good to ourselves provides more energy to support others. - Kevin shares that he is more effective at work when rested and having taken care of himself. - Kathy shares Kristin's quote: "The more compassion that flows inward, the more resources we have available to be there for others." - Kathy likens self-compassion to compounding interest, where investing in ourselves multiplies our capacity to share with others. - Kevin introduces the model that you can't give what you don't have, emphasizing the need to extend grace and support to oneself before offering it to others. - Kevin notes that research supports this in both personal relationships and when caring for strangers, indicating that self-compassion enhances one's ability to love and care for those in their personal life. Myth 4: Self-Compassion Is the Same as Self-Esteem - Kathy introduces the final myth, clarifying that self-esteem and self-compassion are often confused but are quite different. - Kathy explains that self-esteem depends on feeling special or superior and fluctuates with success and failure. - Kathy states that self-compassion involves accepting ourselves as imperfect humans, regardless of circumstances. - Kevin reflects on how his feelings of value fluctuate, suggesting he relies more on self-esteem than self-compassion. - Kevin shares Kristin Neff's quote: "With self-compassion, we don't need to be perfect or better than anyone else to feel good about ourselves." - Kathy emphasizes that self-compassion is more freeing and sustainable than constantly seeking approval. - Kevin admits to being guilty of seeking external approval.

Zajímavost hned na začátku. Pokud slyšíte to, co slyšíte, znamená to, že jsem v Japonsku. Mám totiž dlouhodobé lapálie s bolestmi v zádech a o Velikonocích mě to vzalo tak, že jsem se ocitl v Motole na kapačce. Takže hrozilo, že pojedu leda na Macháčkův palouk a ne na císařský turnaj v zápase sumo v Tokiu – ale taky nepojedu do Ósaky a Kjóta, jsme se chystali s Davidem, mým synem.

Ever felt like someone pulled your battery out mid-sentence? One minute you're go-go-go, and the next—you're a human puddle on the couch, brain offline, soul buffering. That, my friend, is an ADHD energy shutdown—a deeply misunderstood, very real experience where our nervous system essentially throws up the "Closed for Business" sign.

Usmyslel jsem si vyrobit něco jako poličku a skřínku, cosi hybridního, ale na tom nezáleží, co to je. Objekt jsem vymyslel, rozměřil, na papír si nakreslil plánek. Podle zadaných centimetrů mi v hobbymarketu nařezali dílce mého budoucího výtvoru. To byl první krok k úspěchu. Doma bych to nikdy neuřízl přesně na míru a pravý úhel by mi nevyšel pravý, i kdybych se na hlavu postavil. Zkrátka, hobbymarket to nařeže přesně a řez je čistý, kdežto můj… Nebudu se opakovat.

Měl bych mít k digitalizaci – jak se dřív pěkně říkalo – kladný vztah. Provází mě půlku života. Ano, před 40 lety jsem se pinožil u sálového počítače Akademie věd, abych jako operátor najatý přes prázdniny vyzkoumal, jestli počítač dokáže člověka zabít. Potřeboval jsem to pro chystaný román Pole šťastných náhod. Zjistil jsem, že ano, stát se to může. Ale úplně jinak, než jak se to za čtyři desetiletí vykreslilo.

Můžete o dnešní době vykládat cokoli a můžete mít tisíc a jednu výhradu, jedno se jí upřít nedá. Je zábavná. K zábavnosti přispívá i to, jak je těžké nebo dokonce nemožné rozlišit, co je pravda a co si někdo vycucal z palce. Může vás to samozřejmě rozčilovat. Špatně je na tom ten, kdo informaci vezme na vědomí a už dál nepátrá, jestli je pravdivá.

In this episode of Regulated & Relational, Julie Beem and Ginger Healy discuss the concept of self-compassion, drawing insights from Dr. Kristin Neff's work. Dr. Neff, a researcher in the field, defines self-compassion as treating yourself with the same kindness you'd offer a close friend. She breaks it into three elements: mindfulness (being aware of struggles), connection (understanding we're not alone in challenges), and kindness to self (responding with warmth instead of self-criticism).Julie shares her own struggles with self-compassion and how it can be difficult to confront pain, often either ignoring it or fighting it. Self-compassion, according to Dr. Neff, allows people to pause, acknowledge the difficulty, and respond with care.Dr. Neff emphasizes that self-compassion isn't just a feel-good idea; it literally rewires the brain by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and increasing emotional regulation. It improves mental and physical health, supports decision-making, reduces stress, and enhances resilience.Julie and Ginger also provide five practical ways to incorporate more self-compassion into daily life, including mindfulness, self-care, journaling, connection with loved ones, and positive self-talk.Supporting ResourcesDr. Kristin Neffhttps://self-compassion.org/Dr. Neff's bookshttps://www.amazon.com/s?k=dr+kristen+neff&crid=218H6KXMNYTJ&sprefix=dr+kristin+neff%2Caps%2C145&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

A traditional workplace can be really challenging for neurodivergent individuals, and if a workplace culture is made to be one-size-fits-all, the chances are high that it won't fit for many neurodivergent people.In this flashback episode, Patrick Casale and Dr. Megan Anna Neff, two AuDHD mental health professionals, talk with Lyric Rivera, founder of NeuroDivergent Consulting, author, and later-in-life diagnosed AuDHD person, about how to create neurodivergent-affirming spaces, including in the workplace and in online communities.Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:Understand the essential need to reframe our workplace cultures to not just accommodate but truly embrace the strengths that neurodivergent individuals bring to the table.Discover the nuanced challenges adults face with a later-in-life neurodivergent discovery, including unraveling the web of self-deprecating beliefs to shift to self-compassion and understanding.Learn how to implement neurodivergent-friendly practices in the workplace and communities that will lead to more open communication, allow people to play to their strengths, and give individuals the resources and environment they need to show up as their best.There is still a lot of work to be done to create workplaces and other spaces that truly embrace neurodiversity and accommodate for the uniqueness of each individual, but by implementing Lyric's suggestions in this episode, we can start leaning into people's strengths and allow for more growth, better solutions, and spaces that feel safe and welcoming.
