Podcasts about phobias

As time moves quickly by and her children grow up, Dr. Naomi makes changes to the family room at home that reflect everyone's current needs, including her own. A daughter is stressed out by her mother's bad driving but doesn't know how to tell her aging parent it might be time to ditch the car and start calling ubers. Caught in a pickle, a listener asks if there is a polite way to ditch her friends at a comedy show after being given better seats to the same event. One Betch's germ phobia is starting to take over all her thoughts and she asks Dr. Naomi for an intention to quell the constant anxiety. After her father dropped the ball on a contract, a woman is triggered that he didn't think to ask for help even though she is in fact a contract lawyer here. A bride is left upset after a childhood friend canceled her wedding RSVP and the hosts debate the circumstances of the seemingly last minute bail. Learn more about your ad choices.

There is a particular kind of confidence that comes from having never, not once, understood how a car works. Tommy Metz III has that confidence in spades. In this episode, he reveals that his first car — a used Jeep Cherokee he lovingly named "Peace" (short for "piece of," well, you can fill in the rest) — featured a steering wheel so structurally compromised that he'd been casually jamming it back into the dashboard for months, under the assumption that this was simply how cars sometimes worked.It was not.The steering wheel eventually came off entirely at a stoplight. Which truly sets the tone for this week's episode about two adults who have been winging the maintenance of their lives with varying degrees of success.From there, the episode splits into dual adulting topics: car maintenance and laundry — two pillars of what Pete calls "maintenance rituals," the invisible, unglamorous labor of keeping your life from quietly falling apart. Tommy confesses to a lifetime of automotive ignorance and makes a surprisingly persuasive case for dealership loyalty. Pete delivers a laundry crash course, dismantling myths about fabric softener (it's coating your clothes in wax), detergent dosing (the cap is lying to you), and dry cleaning (it's not dry, and please stop smelling it).Competence in adulthood isn't about mastering everything, it's about finding the one or two maintenance rituals you're willing to own and doing them with quiet, slightly irrational pride. For Pete, that's a drawer full of Marie Kondo-folded t-shirts. For Tommy, it's the peace of mind that comes from letting a dealership send him a video before they touch anything. Neither of them knows what a fan belt is. ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member. Visit allthefeelings.fum/join to learn more!

Unlocking Emotional Healing: Discover the Power of Tapping Therapy with Amy Vincze Soarwithtapping.com About the Guest(s): Amy Vincze has been a committed professional in the health and wellness sector for over 20 years. As a certified tapping coach for more than 16 years, Amy brings immense expertise to her work. She is the founder of Soar with Tapping, an organization dedicated to the transformative power of tapping. Amy believes deeply in the healing potential of tapping and is passionate about making its benefits accessible to people globally. Episode Summary: In this episode of The Chris Voss Show, Chris engages in an enlightening conversation with Amy Vincze, a seasoned professional in the health and wellness field, particularly known for her work with tapping. The discussion explores Amy's journey into the world of tapping and the development of her app aimed at bringing the life-enhancing benefits of tapping to a broad audience. Tapping is expounded as an influential practice blending acupuncture principles, cognitive therapy, and somatic therapy to alleviate stress and anxiety. Amy delves into the biological underpinnings of stress, explaining how the amygdala's reaction releases cortisol and puts the body into a state of fight or flight. The healing mechanism of tapping helps in calming the stress center of the brain, aiding in faster cortisol reduction and improving overall health. From helping individuals with phobias to alleviating trauma-related stress, Amy shares compelling stories of transformation through tapping. Listeners are introduced to the multifaceted uses of tapping for corporate settings, personal development, and workshops centered on themes such as feminine rage. Key Takeaways: Understanding Tapping: Tapping is a powerful combination of acupuncture, cognitive therapy, and somatic therapy that works to alleviate stress and improve mental health. Biological Impact: By tapping on acupressure points, the stress center of the brain is instructed to de-escalate, reducing cortisol and positively impacting heart rate, blood pressure, and immune response. Versatile Applications: Tapping can address a range of issues from phobias and stress to deeper trauma and PTSD by allowing individuals to process emotions safely. Innovative App: Amy’s app offers comprehensive guides, scripts, and instructions to help users practice tapping effectively at home. Corporate and Personal Growth: Workshops and individual sessions are offered, extending the benefits of tapping into corporate environments and personal development arenas. Notable Quotes: “When you’re tapping on your body, over and over again you’re telling that stress center…to deescalate.” “Phobias are generally really, really easy to dislodge and can be totally neutralized within one or two sessions.” “You are no longer in that situation and that situation no longer exists.” “It’s my mission to educate people.”

Stephanie and Ashley from Plus Size Park Hoppers join Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to discuss how their viral Instagram and TikTok accounts help plus-size Disney fans navigate theme parks with confidence. "We've all had those experiences where we go to get on a ride and we aren't able to fit and it doesn't feel good," Stephanie shares. The duo opens up about handling online hate, the loneliness epidemic driving parasocial relationships, and defending Disney adults. "Walt did not build Disney World for children," Ashley notes. "The whole message behind it was so adults can go and feel like children again." They also discuss Universal's restrictive policies and their mission to show that "you don't have to wait until you fit a certain mold to go enjoy yourself."

In this episode we look at compound words with the word -φοβία (-phobia) as their second component. The word φοβία comes from φόβος, which means fear. So, all the words we'll see today describe having a fear of something, and that “something” is defined by the first part of each word.The first word we'll look at is υψοφοβία, from the words ύψος meaning height and φοβία. So, υψοφοβία means the fear of heights.In English, we use the word acrophobia, which also exists in Greek as ακροφοβία.Next, we have αγοραφοβία, from the words αγορά, which in this case means public space and not market, and φοβία. Just like in English, agoraphobia, it refers to the fear of open or crowded places.Then we have κλειστοφοβία, from κλειστός, meaning closed, and φοβία, which means the fear of confined or enclosed spaces. The English word is claustrophobia, where the first component comes from the Latin claustrum and the Greek φοβία.Our next word is αρρωστοφοβία, from άρρωστος, meaning sick, and φοβία. This describes the fear of getting sick.In English, the equivalent term is nosophobia, from νόσος, the ancient Greek word for illness or disease, and phobia. Although this term exists in English, it's mostly used in medical contexts. In everyday language, we usually say fear of getting sick or health anxiety.Check out our Instagram @greek_lang_experts or visit our website for our upcoming⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Greek classes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!If you enjoyed this episode please rate our podcast and leave a comment!

Michelle Walters, former corporate digital marketer turned clinical hypnotherapist, joins the show to explore how hypnosis can help people break patterns, ease anxiety, and create real change without getting stuck in endless analysis.Michelle shares the losses that reshaped her life, widowed in 2011 and later losing her partner Scott in 2021, and how that grief ultimately pushed her to fully step into hypnotherapy. From there, she breaks down what hypnosis actually is (a focused trance state), how it works with the subconscious, and why belief and safety in the process matter.The conversation also moves into spiritual and “mind-tech” territory: using a client's faith as a healing bridge, why hypnosis can surface root memories (and sometimes past-life-like scenes), and what it really means when people worry about mind control. Where to find Michelle: https://makemyhypno.com/https://michellewalters.net/Discount: https://makemyhypno.com/podcast_discountSend us a textSupport the showLove the show?

XI ZHONGXUN'S DEATH AND XI JINPING'S PHOBIA OF CHAOS Colleague Joseph Torigian. This final segment covers Xi Zhongxun's death and Xi Jinping's admiration for his father's unwavering faith in the party despite persecution. Torigian analyzes a conversation where Xi told Shinzo Abe he might have joined American political parties if born there, suggesting he is a realist nationalist. Ultimately, Xi's governance is defined by a "phobia of chaos" stemming from his family's traumatic Cultural Revolution experiences, driving his desire for total control. NUMBER 16

From the absurd (snakes through sunroofs) to the profound (the fear of being unlovable), we're diving into the vivid world of adult anxiety. This episode categorizes our fears into three distinct lanes: practical risks that need a plan, anxiety loops that need a nervous-system reset, and tender wounds that require compassion and community.We explore why "white-knuckling" through phobias doesn't work and how tools like EMDR and exposure therapy can rewire your brain. Whether you need a checklist, a deep breath, or a witness to your story, this framework helps you balance grit with gentleness. Tune in to learn how to turn your "what-ifs" into actionable, brave steps.

The Strangest Phobias in America

Today we're unpacking a topic that so many families struggle to understand—Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD—especially when it shows up in children. My guest is Dr. Tamar Chansky, a clinical psychologist and author of the newly updated and revised edition of her seminal book Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. In our conversation, Tamar and I talk about how our understanding of OCD has evolved over the past 25 years, what intrusive thoughts really are, and how parents can recognize and respond to them with compassion and clarity. Tamar walks us through her five-step approach for helping kids manage OCD effectively, and she offers a message of hope—reminding us that with the right support, children can learn to take charge of their thoughts and lead full, joyful lives.

What does the Bible say about having a phobia? Is it a sin for a Christian to have a phobia? How can I overcome my phobias?

You know that moment when you realize civilization might have peaked at “salt, oil, and potato”? That's where we begin this bonus episode. Pete, Tommy, and returning culinary chaos agent Mandy Kaplan gather around a table piled high with some of the strangest snack inventions ever unleashed on the palate—because if adulthood is about making terrible decisions and pretending they're research, then this is a dissertation.Armed with a scientific scoring system that rates flavor accuracy, emotional resonance, and the elusive chaos factor, the trio wade bravely into the salty abyss: Late Night Loaded Taco Doritos, Dill Pickle Lays, Flamin' Hot Limón Cheetos, Hot Ones Verde Pringles, Pizza Pringles, Special Sauce Kettle Chips, and a truly cursed bag of Stranger Things “Cool Ranch Collisions.”Along the way, Pete delivers a history lesson revealing that the potato chip was invented out of spite (because of course it was), Tommy questions every life choice that brought him to this recording, and Mandy achieves spiritual awakening through protein chips. Together they confront the unspoken truth of snack evolution: we've weaponized flavor.This is an episode about chips, sure—but it's also about curiosity, regret, and the very adult ability to know better and eat it anyway. So grab a bag, loosen your moral compass, and join us as we discover which chip truly embodies the modern condition: chaotic, over-flavored, and proud of it.Get the whole show!

In this episode of the Next Level Healing Podcast, Dr. Tara Perry had the pleasure of interviewing her friend Estella, whom she met at a Dr. Richard Bandler NLP conference. Estella's journey of overcoming a severe snake phobia in less than an hour serves as a powerful testament to the transformative potential of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).The conversation begins by reflecting on Estella's intense fear of snakes, which had previously dominated her life to the point where she avoided any mention of them, even on television. Dr. Tara shared her excitement about the opportunity to help her confront this fear, especially since she was not afraid of the other phobias we were addressing that day, such as spiders, heights, and public speaking.Estella recounted her experience leading up to the moment she had to touch a real snake. Her heart raced, and she felt a mix of horror and disbelief at the thought of facing her fear. However, through her session, Dr. Tara was able to guide her past her resistance, and she ultimately found the courage to not only touch the snake but to embrace it. This breakthrough was not just about the snake; it symbolized conquering fears that had held her back in various aspects of her life.Work with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every week for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

Episode 3322: Rachel Shanken invites readers to confront their “feelings phobia” by understanding that emotions are not threats but valuable messages from within. Through mindfulness, compassion, and gentle curiosity, she shows how embracing our emotions leads to deeper self-awareness, resilience, and emotional freedom. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://mindbodywise.com/blog/conquering-your-feelings-phobia/ Quotes to ponder: "Many of us have a phobia of our feelings, a fear of fully feeling our emotions." "When we resist what we feel, our emotions intensify, linger, or show up in other ways, such as anxiety, irritability, or physical pain." "By allowing ourselves to feel, we open the door to healing, clarity, and peace."

Episode 388: On the morning of August 5, 2013, Campbellton, New Brunswick, faced an unthinkable tragedy. Police and first responders were called to an apartment above Reptile Ocean, the town's reptile and fish shop, where they found Connor and Noah Barthe, brothers aged six and four, dead after a sleepover with their friend Jayce Savoie. Sometime in the night, a 12-foot, 53-pound African rock python owned by shopkeeper Jean-Claude Savoie escaped its enclosure, slithered through a vent, and fatally attacked the sleeping boys. The official cause of death was “traumatic asphyxia by constriction,” a finding that shocked the small community and quickly attracted national and international attention. As investigators began their work, residents struggled to comprehend how a night of friendship ended in such horror. Savoie was charged with criminal negligence causing death, setting the stage for a legal and ethical debate that would raise tough questions and stir deep emotions far beyond Campbellton.
