This episode is an invitation to notice where we have confused numbness with pleasure. We've been sold and educated on false pleasure. Pleasure is meant to open us up, not close the door to the world of discomfort and false selves. Exploring why we might have been misled about what pleasure means and why it's an important element right now to help us to stop watering the seeds of the past, including our own past identities.  As we recognize where we are watering the seeds of past identities, we begin to notice our own evolution. We pay attention to the shifts we are ready for, our upgrades and we can truly nurture what is there in each moment. Then, we can turn our brightness to the unlimited nature of our true being. We release with more ease, not closing the door to our discomfort and not prolonging the stay in our divine bodies.  Host Christine shared moving through a recent painful experience and how paying attention to where she might have run a program of numbing out or distracting, instead choosing to allow enough space for the moving through and release of the physical and emotional pain. The experience led to a deeper inner standing of the nature of suffering and how we as humanity are sweeping suffering and it's attached programs from our divine bodies.  Humanity is sweeping suffering  and all manner of falsity off the table  Resetting this world  new community  laid upon a beautiful cloth  woven with golden threads shimmering with pure love Beloved, you are called  from the cave of your heart  back to this root of who you are to join the unlimited feast  ~ (art & poetry copyright Christine Pensa) Much love For more link to our showpage here; artthatmoves.ca

Do your emotions control you—or are you ready to control them?In Part 3 of Clearing Limiting Beliefs & Reprogramming the Subconscious Mind, Dr. David Snyder dives deeper into the process of emotional release and subconscious reprogramming. This episode explores how unresolved emotions shape behavior, limit growth, and keep you trapped in repetitive cycles—often without your awareness.Dr. Snyder walks you through practical methods for identifying, feeling, and releasing emotional blocks stored in the body. He emphasizes that real healing doesn't come from avoiding pain, but from fully acknowledging and transforming it.If you've ever felt like you're doing the inner work but nothing seems to change, this episode will help you understand why—and how to finally break through the mental and emotional barriers holding you back.Quotes:"Dissociation never leads to resolution. It leads to stagnation.""When you finally get the emotion clear and you've done an actual intervention that's leading to resolution, you will have a spontaneous epiphany about that experience." "When you see the emotions come up, let them come up and out. Don't try to lock them down. Don't try to repress them. Don't try to manage them. Let them come out. That's what makes you sick."Actionable Takeaways:Acknowledge emotional resistance. Instead of suppressing discomfort, observe it without judgment. Resistance often signals the area most in need of healing.Use the “point to where you feel it” technique. Physically locating sensations helps bring subconscious emotions into conscious awareness.Let emotions complete their cycle. Allow yourself to feel the full emotion—without suppressing it—so the energy can naturally release.Reframe emotional meaning. Ask, “What is this emotion trying to teach me?” to turn pain into insight.Anchor new emotional patterns. Reinforce positive states by visualizing and embodying them daily, training your subconscious to default toward peace and confidence.Episode Timeline:00:00:26 – Addressing Overwhelming Emotions During Reframing00:00:45 – The Importance of Venting Emotions00:01:16 – How Emotional Processing Works: Neurogenic Tremoring Explained00:04:45 – The “Magic Frame” Technique and Its Significance00:08:49 – Numbness as a Feeling and Regression Techniques00:10:40 – Advanced Methods: Holonomic Regression and Self-Resolution00:12:46 – Residual Feelings and The Transformational Triad (Magic Frame, Spinning, Color Breathing)00:14:39 – Interpreting Emotional Sensations Through Color and Vibration00:17:45 – Q&A: Can We Consciously Control the Subconscious?00:20:20 – Practical Exercises: State Control & The Universal Persuasion Protocol00:24:22 – Using Indifference for State Control and Its Limitations00:27:44 – The Role and Limitation of Progressive Desensitization00:29:21 – Dealing With Traumatic Releasing When It Feels Unsafe00:31:00 – Ethical Considerations for Interventions Without Follow-Up00:34:20 – Explaining Spiritual Concepts in a Secular or Atheist Context00:37:34 – Bucket Listing: Thematic Listing and Rating of Fears00:43:06 – Systematic Approach to Emotional Clearing and Self-Improvement00:46:49 – Building Skills & Confidence with Reframing and the Transformational Triad00:47:08 – Participant Feedback & Announcement of Upcoming Relationship Workshop00:49:07 – Why Focus Naturally Goes to the Most Traumatic Experiences & Overcoming Them00:53:54 – Discussion on Spiritual Guidance, Higher Power, and Ethics00:57:01 – Closing Remarks and Contact InformationLinks:To learn more about Dr. David Snyder and everything about NLP, visit:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nlppower.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@DavidSnyderNLP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/davidsnydernlp

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve in your wrist, leading to pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in your hand and fingers Massage techniques such as myofascial release and trigger point therapy help reduce swelling, loosen tight tissues, and improve blood flow, easing pressure on the nerve Specific exercises like nerve-gliding and tendon-gliding restore mobility by keeping tendons and nerves moving smoothly, reducing stiffness and improving function The Madenci hand massage technique, tested in clinical research, offers a simple three-minute self-massage routine that significantly improves grip strength and reduces pain Consistent daily practice of massage and exercises for at least four to six weeks provides lasting relief and helps prevent symptoms from coming back

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that causes pain, numbness, and weakness in your fingers and hands. It often develops from repetitive hand or wrist motion, an injury, or certain medical conditions. Symptoms are caused by pressure on your median nerve, a long nerve that runs the length of your arm and enters a small passage in your wrist called your carpal tunnel. These symptoms usually develop slowly, but if not treated will worsen with time. Besides numbness and pain, you may develop tingling or burning sensations, shock-like feelings through your fingers, trouble holding onto things, and loss of feeling. You may develop more pain and muscle cramping, and muscles in your hand may degrade to a critical point where surgery is the only option for relief. While traditional treatments for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome include drugs, injections, and often surgery, Macomb Township Chiropractic, in Macomb County Michigan, wants you to know they can help with a healthier alternative. Dr. Chris McNeil has been a practicing Chiropractic for over twenty years, and has had success in treating patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Since pinched nerves are the primary culprit with Carpal Tunnel, Chiropractic sets out to relieve these pinched nerves in the spine and other parts of the body. Often misalignments in the spine can cause pain and numbness in the arms, wrists, and hands as nerves from the spine travel to all parts of the body. Manual adjustments to realign the spine relieve nerve pressure to all areas of the body, and direct manipulation to the median nerve can relieve many symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. One patient named Rachel found Carpal Tunnel Relief at Macomb Township Chiropractic . Rachel, a long time nail technician, was suffering for years with numbness and pain in her arms, wrists and hands. The pain was affecting her work and home life. Traditional methods of treatment were unsuccessful, so she paid a visit to see Dr. Chris. After Chiropractic x-rays were taken on Rachel, numerous areas in her spine showed misalignments, which Dr. Chris felt were directly affecting the pain and numbness she was having. She was put on a treatment plan which included chiropractic adjustments and postural rehabilitation (which works to retain the brain to realign the spine back to a more normal position). Just two short months later, Rachel reported improvement, and stated she was able to work longer hours at work again. After one year of treatment, Rachel states she is feeling “wonderful”, is able to work again without pain or numbness, and it has greatly improved her home life. She boasted about her carpal tunnel pain and numbness relief at Macomb Township Chiropractic on a YouTube video testimonial. 

Today's episode is not easy. It's about the images we scroll past, the headlines we mute, the suffering we've normalized. From Gaza to Congo to ICE detention centers, we've been shown visually terrible things—and instead of being moved, we've become numb.We've seen so much suffering that we've started calling the numbness wisdom. We've baptized our avoidance and called it peace. But silence isn't holy—it's harmful.”But should we continue to look on in terror? What does it cost us to look away? And is there ever a case for protecting our peace by turning it off? Let's talk about it.

Have you ever wondered if your grieving experience is “normal” or struggled to find the right words about loss?This week, I'm joined by clinical psychologist and grief specialist, Dr. Monika Wieliczko. We have an open conversation about the realities of grief. Together, we explore why grief often feels isolating, how and why society shies away from openly discussing bereavement, and the profound ways grief can affect both mind and body.Drawing on personal stories and clinical expertise, we dispel common myths (like the famous stages of grief model) and emphasise that there is no single correct way to grieve.

In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Marc Azoulay, psychotherapist and founder of Men's Therapy Online, for a raw and powerful conversation about the struggles men face during and after divorce. Too often, men are left to navigate their grief alone—raised to be stoic, self-sufficient, and emotionally guarded. But when divorce shatters their world, the quiet reckoning sets in. Identity collapses. Numbness and rage surface. Disbelief lingers. Many men find themselves staring at the wreckage of what used to be, barely recognizing who they are anymore. Marc and I explore what it really takes for men to move through this kind of pain and begin rebuilding their lives. We talk about the collapse of identity after divorce, the hidden cost of traditional masculinity, and why community, mentorship, and ritual are essential for healing. Marc offers practical guidance for finding structure and meaning again, navigating co-parenting while hurting, and stepping back into dating without the masks that keep men disconnected from their truth. He also shares the deeper practices that help men reclaim themselves and rise stronger—on their terms. Marc Azoulay, LPC, LAC, CGP, ACS, is the founder of Men's Therapy Online, a groundbreaking healing community that combines psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and Buddhism. His work—whether through group counseling, individual therapy, or wilderness retreats—creates safe spaces where men can confront their grief, break down unconscious barriers, and discover the man they were always meant to be. If you are a man navigating the grief of divorce and searching for clarity, brotherhood, and strength, this episode will offer both insight and a path forward.

Can men really find freedom from emotional numbness and disconnection? This episode takes a deep look at the roots of emotional intimacy struggles and the path toward genuine healing and connection. Topics Covered:

In this episode, Pastor David Maestas walks through Hebrews 3, where the writer urges believers not to repeat the mistakes of Israel in the wilderness. Though they witnessed God's power firsthand, their hearts became hard through unbelief and rebellion. The warning is clear: spiritual hardness doesn't happen all at once—it forms gradually when we stop trusting, stop listening, and stop obeying. Pastor David challenges us to examine our hearts daily and to encourage one another so we don't fall into the same trap. Faithfulness is a community effort and a daily decision. When our hearts begin to close off, we risk missing the rest and peace God has promised. The message is sobering but hopeful: there's still time to listen, respond, and turn back.

What do you really want—and how do you even begin to ask for it? In this episode of laidOPEN, I'm joined by somatic sex therapist Susan Morgan Taylor, a healer and teacher who guides people through the often-overlooked terrain of embodied desire. With over 25 years in somatic healing, Susan brings a grounded, intuitive approach to what she calls the Pleasure Keys Process—a set of practices designed to help individuals and couples reconnect with their sensuality, emotional truth, and authentic connection. We dive into how early wounding, stress, and disembodiment can short-circuit intimacy—and what it really takes to come back into alignment with your body and your partner. Susan shares how her background in massage therapy and intuitive healing shaped her path, and offers practical, heartfelt wisdom on navigating low libido, sacred sexuality, and the art of noticing, naming, and negotiating in relationships. Whether you're in a long-term partnership or simply curious about deepening your relationship to pleasure, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and reclaim the wisdom of your body.

What do you do when the weight of the world becomes too much? When outrage feels expected… but all you feel is numb? In this powerful and tender episode, Dr. KellyRae explores what happens when our systems go quiet—not because we don't care, but because we've absorbed too much. She opens up about her own journey of surviving trauma, and how it shaped the way she now recognizes emotional shutdown not as weakness, but as wisdom. We dive into: – The difference between disconnection and protection – Why stillness can be sacred – How to hold space for yourself and others during deep emotional overwhelm – The importance of self-validation when external support falls short Whether you're grieving, angry, flat, or just tired—this episode is here to hold space for your heart.

In a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, we're forgetting the most sophisticated intelligence system ever created—the one inside your own body. While AI processes information, ancient intelligence processes life itself: healing wounds, creating connection, and generating the aliveness that makes existence meaningful. But here's the problem: most of us have been systematically disconnected from this intelligence since childhood, leaving us numb, anxious, and searching for answers outside ourselves.Steven Jaggers is the founder of Somatic Breath Work and a pioneer in the nervous system regulation movement. With over 3,000 practitioners trained across 40+ countries, his work is now accredited by Arizona State University for continuing education credits. A former neuromuscular therapist, Steven has spent years studying the intersection of physical alignment, emotional regulation, and human connection. His unique approach combines Eastern somatic practices with Western neuroscience to help people reclaim their birthright: the ability to feel fully alive in their own bodies.What You'll Discover• Why numbness is actually an active process that's draining your life force – and the counterintuitive truth about why it takes more energy to suppress your feelings than to feel them• The "Attunement Code": How to host another human inside yourself – the meta-skill that data shows is more healing than any technique, tool, or modality• Why your nervous system regulation isn't about staying calm – it's about developing choice, and the surprising reason most people are stuck in the anxiety-depression ping-pong cycle• The parasitic tension stealing your energy – how unconscious muscle contractions are robbing power from your healing, creativity, and aliveness (and how to redirect that energy)• Why healing trauma alone is actually impossible – the science of co-regulation and why your wounds from people can only be healed with people• The "Completion Principle" that changes everything – how somatic breathwork helps your nervous system finish the stress responses that trauma interrupted• How to tell if someone is safe using your nervous system – the congruence test that reveals when someone's words don't match their internal state• The four meta-skills of human intelligence – alignment, attunement, holding space, and range – that no AI can replicate and why mastering them is your greatest advantage in the age of artificial intelligenceYour Invitation to AlivenessYour nervous system holds the key to healing, connection, and true aliveness—if you know how to access it. In this episode, Steven distills years of research and client work into practical insights you can use right away. Whether you're facing anxiety, feeling off, or seeking more from life, this is your roadmap.

Let's start with the basics. Now we've talked about thymosin alpha 1 before in the context of immune health, but as a quick refresher, Thymosin alpha 1, or Tα1, is a peptide — a small chain of amino acids — that occurs naturally in the body.  It was first isolated from the thymus gland, which is an important immune organ responsible for developing and regulating T cells, especially during childhood. T cells are a type of white blood cell that play a central role in the immune system by identifying and destroying infected or abnormal cells and coordinating immune responses. Over time, our thymus shrinks and our immune response tends to slow down — which may partly explain why chronic infections or immune dysregulation become more common with age. Thymosin alpha 1 acts like an immune system coach — it doesn't directly kill pathogens, but it enhances the immune system's ability to detect and fight infections. In fact, it's made a big impact around the world.   Since its discovery in the 1970s, it's been used in over 35 countries to help treat conditions like hepatitis B and C, certain cancers, and even sepsis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers explored its potential to calm immune overreactions and improve patient outcomes. It's also popular in veterinary medicine for helping dogs with chronic infections. Plus, some doctors are now investigating its role in boosting vaccine effectiveness and supporting people with autoimmune diseases or age-related immune decline — making thymosin alpha 1 a real immune multitasker. Thymosin Alpha 1 and Lyme Disease So why are doctors using thymosin alpha 1 in Lyme disease? Well, for many people, Lyme can become a long, drawn-out illness. And while antibiotics are usually the first-line treatment, some patients don't recover fully — instead, they develop lingering symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, or neurological issues. This condition is known as Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome, or PTLDS — and we'll dive deeper into that in just a minute. In Lyme patients, Thymosin alpha 1 is being used off-label to: Rebalance the immune system Enhance the activity of T cells and natural killer cells Calm overactive inflammation Reduce the intensity and frequency of flare-ups or immune crashes Doctors report that patients using thymosin alpha 1 often feel more resilient — with improved energy, mental clarity, and fewer immune complications — especially in cases involving co-infections like Babesia, Bartonella, or Epstein-Barr virus. What Is PTLDS? Now let's dig into what happens after Lyme disease treatment for some patients. Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome, or PTLDS, affects roughly 5 to 20 percent of people who have been treated for Lyme disease. Even after completing a full course of antibiotics, they continue to experience significant symptoms that can last for months — or even years. Some of the most common symptoms of PTLDS include: Chronic fatigue that doesn't improve with rest Brain fog, poor memory, or difficulty concentrating (sometimes called 'Lyme brain') Joint and muscle pain Sleep disturbances Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations (peripheral neuropathy) Depression, anxiety, or mood swings Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells Dizziness or balance issues And often, fluctuating or cyclical symptoms — where you feel better for a while, then suddenly crash These symptoms can be disabling, and they're often not reflected in standard lab tests, which can make patients feel dismissed or misdiagnosed. Why Does PTLDS Happen? Researchers are still working to understand why PTLDS happens, but here are some of the leading theories: Immune system dysregulation – The infection may trigger a chronic inflammatory state that lingers long after the bacteria are gone. Persistent infection – Some believe the bacteria can go into a low-metabolic or dormant state, evading antibiotics and reactivating later. Tissue damage – Nerve and joint tissues may have been injured and take a long time to heal. Autoimmune activation – The body may start attacking its own tissues after the infection — similar to what happens in rheumatic fever. Undiagnosed co-infections – Other pathogens like Bartonella or Babesia may still be active and complicate recovery. This is where thymosin alpha 1 may offer a new path — not as a cure, but as a modulator that can help restore immune balance and reduce inflammatory damage. Thymosin Alpha 1 Risk Factors and Who Should Avoid It Thymosin alpha 1 is generally considered safe and well tolerated, especially because it mimics a peptide your body already makes. But like all therapies, it's not for everyone. Possible side effects include: Mild injection site reactions Fatigue, nausea, or headache (usually early in treatment) Not everyone is a good candidate for thymosin alpha 1, so it's important to know who should be cautious. For starters, if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's best to avoid it—there just isn't enough safety data available yet. People taking immunosuppressant medications, like those who've had organ transplants, should also steer clear because thymosin alpha 1 stimulates the immune system and could interfere with those drugs. And if you have an autoimmune condition, it's a bit of a gray area. While some people tolerate it well with low, carefully monitored doses, others might experience a flare, so it's definitely something to discuss with a knowledgeable healthcare provider. It's best to always consult with a healthcare provider experienced in peptide therapies and Lyme disease before starting treatment. The Bottom Line So to sum it all up, thymosin alpha 1 is a promising immune-supporting peptide that's gaining attention in the world of chronic illness—especially for conditions like Lyme disease and PTLDS. It's not a replacement for antibiotics and it doesn't directly kill infections, but it may help bring balance to an immune system that's either overreacting or underperforming. It's also being used to calm inflammation, support healing, and help people feel more resilient as they work through long-term symptoms. If you or a loved one are struggling with lingering symptoms from Lyme disease, chronic fatigue, or an immune system that just won't seem to bounce back, you're not alone. Talk to your family physician and ask if they can steer you toward a specialist familiar with peptide therapy and Lyme disease. Thank you for listening to The Peptide Podcast.

Show NotesSummary:Have you ever felt like your emotions were a liability instead of a strength? In this episode, I'll show you how fear distorts our emotions through fight, flight, and freeze—and how your heart was actually made to lead with love, not protect with walls. If you've ever shrunk back, shut down, or run away emotionally, this one's for you.Takeaways:Fear distorts our emotional patterns through fight, flight, and freeze.Fight mode shows up as performance and people pleasing.Flight mode leads us to withdraw, isolate, and avoid vulnerability.Freeze mode results in emotional numbness and burnout.Your heart brain contains 40,000 neurons and stores emotional memory.Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to guard our heart—it's the source of life.When fear leads, we self-protect; when love leads, we connect.Saul lost his kingdom by fearing people more than God.Peter distanced himself after failure, but God still restored him.True healing starts by allowing yourself to feel—and letting Father into the mess.Sound Bites:“Fear will make you hide who you are so you can be loved… but you were made to be loved as you are.”“You're not a performer earning love. You're a daughter living from it.”“Numbness isn't the end. It's the beginning of your healing.”“Connection breaks the cycle—reach out, even if your heart says to run.”Courageous Action:Performer (Fight): Speak truth over yourself. Use mantras. Then act without over-editing.Avoider (Flight): Reach out. Connect. Don't do life alone.Number (Freeze): Journal with Father. Invite Him to speak to your heart.Chapters00:00 Embracing Emotions: The Heart's Role in Business02:13 The Heart Brain: Understanding Our Emotional Core03:48 How Childhood Experiences  Impact How Fear Shows Up08:47 Fear Responses: Fight, Flight, and Freeze12:33 Fight – The Performer21:06 Flight – The Avoider30:25 Freeze – The Numb One36:12 Recap37:58 Courageous Action to Heal the Heart's Fear Response41:44 Next Episode Teaser and Wrap UpWho am I?Heather Bunch – The Courageous CoachHeather is a certified life and Enneagram coach, speaker and author who helps women of faith close the gap between their dreams and reality by Live Fearlessly Free.

Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: Bulging Discs in the Neck & Back: Causes, Symptoms, and Structural Treatment

In this episode, Cindy Esliger explores emotional exhaustion, the extreme weariness that makes everything feel like just another item on an endless to-do list. It's a common lived reality, and Cindy addresses what it feels like and how it can snowball into impacting everything from work quality to health. However, it can be managed. There is a way to reframe setbacks and find the good among the chaos, a way to regain control and prioritize our well-being, that Cindy lays out for us. How do we know if we're in the midst of emotional exhaustion? Cindy shares four telltale signs that we're running on empty: 1) Struggling to find joy, 2) Increased resilience on distractions, 3) Feeling stuck or hopeless, and 4) Numbness. She assures us that not only is emotional exhaustion not a personal failing, but everyone feels it at some point. But just because it's normal doesn't mean we have to stay stuck in it.Cindy asks us to remember that bad things will happen, but we can choose to find something good to focus on. We can also assess what's draining us by using these four tips on how to decide whether we're putting energy into the right things: 1) Take inventory, 2) Solve or shift, 3) Break the pattern, and 4) Restore energy. When we shift from trying to control outcomes to focusing on our responses and energy allocation, we have the key to maintaining resilience and progress. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Turning Exhaustion Into EmpowermentAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

Do you struggle with the fear of failure or trusting God through the difficult seasons of your life? Dr. Heather Thompson Day joins us to talk about the importance of trusting God through life's seasons, navigating fear and failure, and understanding the true meaning of passion. She shares her personal journey of identity and purpose, the role of suffering in discovering passion, and the dangers of emotional numbness. Heather and Christie talk about how to trust God in every season of our lives and how winter seasons can shape us into the woman God created us to be.    Conversation Topics: -Life is a journey with highs and lows. -Trusting God is essential in every season. -Passion is defined as suffering for what you love. -Identity can be tied too closely to our roles. -Surrendering means letting in new possibilities. -Numbness is a choice we make over time. -We can unlearn fears and embrace life. -Highs and lows are part of the human experience. -Wintering seasons can lead to self-discovery. -God's presence is constant, even when we don't feel it.   Visit our website.   Get Allie's book “Social Media Reset” Get Allie's book “Wonderfully Made”   Join our Love Her A'Latte campaign — make our podcast possible.   Get the show notes

Exhaustion! Numbness! Anger! You're stressed out. I get it. Let's fix it. I cornered one of the world's experts on Ergopathology, scholar and author Dr. Kandi Wiens, to ask about the causes of burnout, warning signs, what professions are more at risk, how to recover from burnout and prevent it in the future, which was the focus of her book, “Burnout Immunity.” We also chat about neurodiversity, hockey mascots, childhood trauma, how do you tell your boss you're burned the F out, grit, and guilt. Also, you don't need to wait until you're on a tropical vacation to recharge. In fact, don't.Visit Kandi Wiens' websiteBuy her book, Burnout Immunity, on Amazon or Bookshop.orgA donation went to Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' FoundationMore episode sources and linksSmologies (short, classroom-safe) episodesOther episodes you may enjoy: Eudemonology (HAPPINESS), Personality Psychology (PERSONALITIES), Attention-Deficit Neuropsychology (ADHD), Funology (YES, FUN), Genocidology (CRIMES OF ATROCITY), Suicidology (SUICIDE PREVENTION & AWARENESS), Traumatology (PTSD)Sponsors of OlogiesTranscripts and bleeped episodesBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a monthOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow @Ologies on Instagram and XFollow @AlieWard on Instagram and XEditing by Mercedes Maitland of Maitland Audio Productions and Jacob ChaffeeManaging Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by Kelly R.
