In this episode, we go further into the concept of gaslighting, building on the foundation laid in a previous episode. We look at how gaslighting manipulates your internal reality, and how it can cause long term effects, as explored through Anil Seth's theory of consciousness and controlled hallucinations. The question of ‘Who Am I', is examined, because after being in a toxic relationship, your sense of self changes. You begin to loose confidence as your reality gets twisted and manipulated. The episode breaks down Seth's ideas of identity and reality, conceptualized through his explanation of self-continuity, change blindness, and predictive processing. This concept applies to understanding how gaslighting influences our perception of ourselves and reality. Practical advice on recognizing and responding to gaslighting behavior is also provided, empowering you to trust your reality and protect your psychological well-being. When you can trust your reality, you can regain your sense of self, and therefore, your confidence. 00:00 Introduction and Recap 00:33 Understanding Gaslighting and Internal Reality 01:18 Anil Seth's Theory on Consciousness 02:06 Change Blindness and Self-Perception 07:13 Predictive Processing and Sensory Inputs 09:21 Gaslighting in Toxic Relationships 19:05 Recognizing and Responding to Gaslighting 26:12 Protecting Yourself from Gaslighting 28:39 Trusting Yourself and Healing To contact the host or participate on the podcast: www.InnerSourceTherapy.com

High Conflict divorce is challenging enough, but when it escalates to legal abuse, the emotional and financial toll can be overwhelming. In this episode, we unpack what legal abuse looks like in the context of high-conflict divorce, where one party may use the legal system to exhaust, intimidate, and financially drain the other. Whether it's endless filings, false accusations, or unreasonable demands, legal abuse can turn a difficult process into a battle of attrition. But understanding the warning signs can be your first line of defense against this form of manipulation. We dive into the red flags that often indicate legal abuse, from repeated court appearances to unreasonable custody demands. These signs, often orchestrated by individuals with narcissistic or controlling tendencies, are designed to exploit the legal system for personal gain. Our discussion provides insights into recognizing these tactics early, equipping you with knowledge that can help you avoid costly pitfalls and find ways to better protect yourself and your family. Our guests today are Lisa Johnson and Chris Barry, co-founders of Been There Got Out. With extensive experience supporting people through high-conflict divorces, Lisa and Chris offer practical, battle-tested guidance for those facing legal abuse. Lisa, a domestic violence advocate who has successfully represented herself in numerous court battles, helped pass Jennifer's Law to expand Connecticut's definition of domestic violence to include coercive control. Together, they run a Legal Abuse Support Group and have published a book, "Been There Got Out: Toxic Relationships, High-Conflict Divorce, and How to Stay Sane Under Insane Circumstances," sharing critical insights to help others achieve the best outcomes.

In this episode, we delve into the intense spiritual battles that leaders often face, drawing strength and strategy from Ephesians 6:11. We'll explore the essential tactics for engaging in spiritual warfare as a leader, ensuring both personal fortitude and team protection.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Ephesians 6:11: "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." This verse not only calls us to readiness but also equips us with the knowledge that our spiritual armor is comprehensive and divinely provided.Leadership involves not just physical and emotional challenges but spiritual ones that require deep spiritual preparation and insight. Today, we focus on the spiritual warfare aspects of leadership, discussing how to effectively lead in the face of such challenges.The Spiritual Battles Leaders Face:* Personal Attacks: Leaders often face personal spiritual attacks that can affect their character, decisions, and ability to lead effectively.* Attacks on the Team: Spiritual attacks can also target a leader's team, aiming to create division, discourage collaboration, or breed conflict.Strategies for Spiritual Vigilance:* Wearing the Full Armor of God: Each piece of the armor described in Ephesians 6 (truth, righteousness, readiness from the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the word of God) has specific applications for leaders.* Regular Prayer: Maintain a strong personal prayer life and encourage prayer within your team. Prayer fortifies the spirit and aligns our efforts with God's will.* Scriptural Grounding: Consistently engage with Scripture. The truths found in the Bible are your best defense against the lies and deceptions of the enemy.Protecting Yourself and Your Team:* Cultivate a Spirit-Led Environment: Foster an atmosphere where the Holy Spirit's guidance is sought and followed, enhancing discernment and spiritual sensitivity.* Promote Unity and Reconciliation: Actively work to maintain unity within your team. The enemy often attacks through division and strife.* Encourage Spiritual Growth: Equip your team with spiritual development resources and opportunities. A spiritually mature team is a strong team.ConclusionLeadership in any capacity comes with its challenges, and spiritual battles are among the most significant. By understanding these challenges and equipping ourselves and our teams with God's armor, we can stand firm against any attack.A Question of the Day: What part of the spiritual armor do you find most challenging to maintain, and how can you strengthen that area?Growth Challenge: This week, focus on one piece of the spiritual armor that you feel needs reinforcement. Whether it's deepening your understanding of God's truth, growing in righteousness, or enhancing your readiness to preach peace, take practical steps to fortify this area of your spiritual life.Let's Pray: Heavenly Father, we thank You for equipping us with the full armor necessary to withstand the enemy's schemes. Help us to not only wear this armor ourselves but also to lead our teams in spiritual readiness. Strengthen us in the battle, and let Your victory be evident in our leadership. Amen.As leaders, we are called to be both warriors and shepherds. Let us move forward with the assurance that when we are fully armored by God, we can lead effectively and righteously, no matter the spiritual challenges we face.

What are the long-term gains of educated investment decisions? The COVID pandemic triggered fear and uncertainty, with many wanting to sell everything amid the stock market's 30% drop. However, disciplined investors maintained their perspective and followed their investment policy. This approach, coupled with proper financial planning, often results in a stronger portfolio after market crashes, helping investors avoid costly mistakes. In contrast, a friend who sold his business for $10 million was initially hesitant to invest in the stock market due to a lack of education, but with advice to seek higher yields and follow a well-planned asset allocation strategy, he increased his earnings from 0.05% to 4.5% annually. Throughout Jesse's monologue, he highlights examples where educated, deliberate, and disciplined decisions helped grow people's portfolios and prepare them for their long-term goals. Joe Saul-Sehy of Stacking Benjamins, returns to the podcast for the second half of the show. Jesse and Joe each brought 5 questions to ask before retirement - ideally long before retirement. Alternating, back and forth, they discover how few of these questions are about money. Sound investment and retirement planning isn't just about the number going up, but also about what you're going to do with the money you accumulate. Many of us plan to enjoy plenty of golfing during retirement, but, who among us can say we'd like to golf every day for 20 years? Join Jesse and Joe on an exploration of the questions you need to ask when planning your retirement.   Key Takeaways:• Have you taken your mental and physical health into consideration when planning your retirement years? • How long do you expect to be retired? And what do you plan to do with your time? • Find something you can passionately be involved in during your retirement years. • Why “chasing kids” isn't a great retirement plan. • How to simplify your savings plan and make the most of it. • What engineers can teach us about planning for the unknown unknowns.   Key Timestamps:(02:14) - Jesse's Monologue: Putting a Dollar Sign on Financial Planning (07:23) - Car Loan Decision Making (08:24) - Backdoor IRA Contributions (10:11) - Choosing the Right Home Location (14:01) - Understanding Cash Balance Plans (20:48) - Interview: Joe Saul-Sehy (22:08) - Top Questions for Retirement Planning (37:40) - Creative Solutions for Health Insurance in Retirement (39:20) - Behavioral Aspects of Investing (41:26) - The Fee Wars and Financial Planning (45:36) - Asset Allocation and Investment Choices (48:45) - Health and Healthcare in Retirement (53:05) - Maintaining Relationships in Retirement (57:46) - Protecting Yourself in Retirement (01:01:06) - Giving Back to the Community (01:07:58) - Conclusion and Podcast Information   Key Topics Discussed:The Best Interest, Jesse Cramer, Rochester New York, financial planner, financial advisor, wealth management, retirement planning, tax planning, personal finance, retirement lifestyle, FIRE lifestyle, mental health, physical health   Mentions:Website: https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-saul-sehy-b3426b31/ What Retirees Want: A Holistic View of Life's Third Age by Ken Dychtwald and Robert Morison Keys to a Successful Retirement: Staying Happy, Active, and Productive in Your Retired Years by Fritz Gilbert   More of The Best Interest:Check out the Best Interest Blog at bestinterest.blog Contact me at jesse@bestinterest.blog The Best Interest Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.

In this episode of Real Estate Success: The Whissel Way, hosts Kyle Whissel and Bryan Koci dive into the aftermath of the NAR (National Association of Realtors) settlement and its impact on real estate agents. They break down the decoupling of commissions and how it affects negotiations between buyers and agents. Kyle and Bryan explore how this change benefits both strong and weak agents, why commissions may actually increase, and provide practical tips on how agents can adapt and thrive in this new landscape. They emphasize the importance of negotiation skills, clarity with clients, and staying ahead of market changes.   3 Key Takeaways: Simplified Commission Conversations: Decoupling commissions makes it easier for agents to discuss commissions with sellers, focusing on one number, which often results in higher listing commissions. Buyer Agreements Protect Agents: Implementing buyer representation agreements ensures that agents are compensated for their work and prevents being used as a "door opener." Negotiation Creates Opportunity: With commissions now fully negotiable, agents who master negotiation skills can secure better deals for themselves and their clients, leading to increased income.

How does our increasing destruction of the earth's biosphere also impact our health?  What diseases are we seeing in almost pandemic proportions and how much younger are the people in whom we're seeing them?  Above all, what can we do to step away from the system that's extracting everything from us - our health, our futures and our potential to be good ancestors?Our guest this week is Jenny Goodman who is a doctor - and also an author. Her first book, Staying Alive in Toxic TimesL A seasonal guide to lifelong health is a fascinating look at how we can stay well, but it's her second that we're going to explore today, partly because at the time of recording, it's just about to be launched.  'Getting Healthy in Toxic Times: an ecological doctor's prescription for healing your body and the planet' is a mind-bending read. I really did think I knew this stuff, but there are large parts of this book that have blown all my fuses, not just for the health impacts - particularly on children and young people (did you know we're seeing Alzheimer's now in teenagers?) but for the cold-blooded way it's been allowed to happen.  Every part of this book is essential reading  - not just because it shows us how we're being poisoned by our food, our water, the air that we breath, the things around us that we can't even see - but more importantly because it details how we can get healthy again and help restore the integrity of our soils, our water, our air…the whole world we live in. As you'll hear, Dr Jenny Goodman is a medical doctor, lecturer and broadcaster. She qualified in Ecological Medicine with British Society for Ecological Medicine and practiced this for over two decades, giving rise to many of the case studies in her books. Jenny has appeared with Terry Pratchett in ITV's documentary What's in Your Mouth? and has been featured on the Victoria Derbyshire show, BBC One's Inside Out and numerous other TV and radio shows.00:00 Introduction to Microplastics in Clothing01:10 Welcome to the Accidental Gods Podcast01:44 The Journey of Dr. Jenny Goodman03:12 From Conventional Medicine to Ecological Medicine10:07 The Impact of Industrialised Agriculture13:17 The Dangers of Glyphosate and Pesticides23:10 The Epidemic of Chronic Diseases26:55 The Importance of Organic and Regenerative Farming35:57 Filtering Water and Avoiding Toxins36:42 The Hidden Dangers in Our Water46:01 The Problem with Synthetic Clothing52:23 The Impact of Fossil Fuels on Air Quality54:21 Heavy Metals and Air Pollution55:19 Political and Personal Actions Against Air Pollution57:01 The Clash of Freedoms: Clean Air vs. Car Ownership57:25 The Need for Efficient Public Transport59:27 AI and the Future of Public Transport01:02:49 Electric Vehicles and Ethical Concerns01:06:43 Nuclear Power: Risks and Realities01:07:39 Protecting Yourself from Nuclear Radiation01:19:33 Electromagnetic Radiation: Hidden Dangers01:31:08 Making Your Home a Safe Haven01:40:29 Final Thoughts and ResourcesPre-Order Jenny's book here:  WaterstonesBookshop.orgAmazonJenny's websiteJenny on FacebookJenny on LinkedInJenny on TwitterJenny on InstagramThe British Society for Ecological Medicine

Episode Introduction:  It's time to stop letting your toxic family members affect you. Tune in to find out how!   Episode Summary:  In this week's episode of the Rise Station Podcast, we're talking all about how a toxic family dynamic can impact an individual. Right from discussing the signs of a toxic family to understanding its effect on a person and then discussing practical steps to deal with this scenario, this episode has it all.   Rise Tribe Takeaways:   The family system is a child's first teacher.   A toxic individual's perception of you is colored by their trauma.   Toxic people have the tendency to project their pain, guilt, and shame onto you.   Toxic individuals will always find ways to rationalize their anger.   Signs that you're in a toxic family dynamic:   Their perception of you doesn't align with the way you see yourself. They accuse you of things that you feel aren't true. They make you feel like you're never enough. They don't take responsibility for their own actions. They manipulate you to make you feel guilty. They put you down or humiliate you. They lie about things that make you feel bad. They bully and harass you. They are nasty, mean, or contentious toward you. They frequently gaslight you. Their problems take over the relationship and there's never room for your feelings.   How a toxic family dynamic can impact you:   You feel anxious and depressed. Your self-confidence is diminished. You stop being assertive. You don't trust yourself or your decision-making. You are overly critical of yourself as well as others. You rely on people-pleasing as a survival skill. You lack boundaries. You end up in unhealthy relationships.   How to deal with a toxic family member:   Figure out the patterns and triggers of the toxic individual. Set healthy boundaries. Avoid arguing with them. Try to limit contact with them. Put the brakes on their bad behavior.   Help us grow and reach out to more amazing individuals such as yourself by leaving a positive rating + review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rise-station/id1565362467   Connect With Us:    Email: media@restorativefamilyservices.com Website: https://restorativefamilyservices.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/restorativefamily/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RestorativeFS   Dealing with Toxic Family, Handling Toxic Relatives, Managing Family Conflict, Toxic Family Dynamics, Family Toxicity, Coping with Toxic Family Members, Toxic Relationships in the Family, Strategies for Toxic Family, Overcoming Family Toxicity, Toxic Family Members Advice, Emotional Boundaries with Family, Family Drama Solutions, Surviving Toxic Family, Healing from Family Toxicity, Toxic Family Behavior, Mental Health and Toxic Family, Dealing with Difficult Relatives, Family Stress Management, Identifying Toxic Family Members, Protecting Yourself from Toxic Family, Rise Station Podcast

How To Deal With Being Attacked Part 1 Protecting Yourself from Triggered Reactions In this episode, we dive into the mechanisms our unconscious mind uses to protect us from feeling hurt or guilty. Often, these protective reactions are triggered and lead to unnecessary conflict. I'll introduce two powerful processes to help you change these triggered reactions and respond more appropriately. This episode is split into two parts to give you time to practice the first process before moving on to the second. In part one, you'll learn a method to reflect on past conflicts and discover better ways to respond, helping you build a more effective toolbox for personal development. In this first part I dive into the what and the why and all things south and end up with one process that really can have a huge impact on resolving this issue. The process is all about training your unconscious mind to hear and see what's really happening and responding in the the most appropriate way and not just straight int Fight mode. By understanding and honoring the positive intentions of your unconscious mind, you can guide it to choose better ways to protect you, leading to more harmonious relationships and a more comfortable life. Listen in and start making a difference in how you handle conflicts and protect yourself in a healthier way. https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/protecting-yourself-from-triggered-reactions-part-1   Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.  If you have enjoyed this or any other episode please share and subscribe.

In simplicity there is genius   Here's your heads up to this longer podcast. It's all about protecting yourself. We don't want to get hurt, huh? We don't want to feel guilty. Our unconscious mind is going to protect us from all things and we get triggered to fight back. And what does it do? We feel hurt. we feel guilty. It's not appropriate. I've got two processes here which will help you change that triggered reaction of defending yourself and protecting yourself at all costs. And it's so much better. Have a dive into this. You'll really enjoy, I'm sure. Okay, have a listen after the next 10 seconds. This is personal development unplugged, with Paul Clough. In simplicity, there is genius. In simplicity there is genius.     This episode is just with one process and it's so, so good   Okay, so as usual, I've been accused of putting too much into one episode and it being overwhelming. And because there are, two processes here, I've decided to split this episode into two. So we've got part one and part two. The second part will include a second process, and then you've got time to practice the first one, see how it works. Part of your, another part of your toolbox. And then in the next episode or the next part two, you'll have another process that you could do as well. You may choose one, you may choose another, or you can use either or both. That'll be real fun. So this episode is just with that one process and it's so, so good. And then I won't keep you hanging because shortly afterwards I'll issue the next episode, part two and we'll go into that second episode. Okay? So really enjoy and make a difference. Make a difference. The difference. That makes a difference.     Cloughie talks about how to deal with being attacked   So here we go. Hey, friend. Another, I don't know how long it'll be. A bit of a muse, a bit of a little honesty thing going here or talking about me a little bit maybe, I don't know. But it's all about how to deal with being attacked. You see it like boxing rings. They say, protect yourself at all times. And I think that's what our unconscious mind does, protects ourselves at, all times. Have you ever had this experience? You're going about your day, oblivious of what is happening around you. You're just getting on with stuff. And then you hear that voice in the background. Did you forget to do so and so? Why do you do that? Oh, look at this. And you think, is that a comment? No, you don't think that at all. You think that's an accusation, that's an attack. Someone's attacking me for stuff. And, I'm gonna hit back with a couple of randoms of my own. Yeah, well, and you and this. And what about. Ow. Have you had that before? When you see things and all of a sudden you snap, you're triggered, you fire. And it is that, not, what's that thing where you have to look, aim, fire. Or is it. Was it a steady aim, fire. Steady aim, fire. But this is, this is fire, fire, fire. Oh, there's no aim, is there? And there's certainly no steady. Already ready. whatever that is, whatever it is, there's none of those other two. It's just firing randomly. First of all, I have to ask a question and I ask this of myself. How's that working for you? Cloughie, and you go, well, I did fight back and I didn't get hurt, huh? Yes, you did, because it wasn't nice, was it? It wasn't nice because things spiral out of control, don't they? You know, you get tone of voice sometimes, okay? That tone of voice is saying something about me, about what I've done, about what I haven't done. Or it's that look. Whoa. Oi. Don't look at me like that. I haven't done anything. Attack back. Attack back. So you always got to remember that line I started with. Remember, defend yourself at, all times. Sometimes it's like that. Hit first, don't wait. And then guess what happens now, have you been here where you. Someone says something. When you look back at it now, pretty innocuous. It's pretty, it's about something very, very mundane. Maybe, you left something on the side or you didn't quite do that, you forgot to do something. It isn't a big deal when you look back now, but at the time, it was an attack. It wasn't a front on you personally. And that argument, because you hit back to protect yourself, to give you that defence, and you carried on hitting back to make sure you never got hit, that argument spiraled to m all parts of the globe, you know? And if you think about. If you took each one of those individually, you'd notice that had nothing to do with it. It wasn't anything to do with that comment in any way, shape or form.     Your unconscious mind has to protect you in all ways, shapes or forms   Now, have you had that situation or is that just me? I hope it's not just me. Well, I do hope it's just me, but I know it isn't. I think I've seen it so many times and I've been in it so many bloody times. This is one of my pet things that I work on. And I know why and I know how. And I. You know, when I say I know why I don't want to. It's not the why that I get up with some limiting belief of, People have always attacked me. I've got to look after myself. I can't do this. I can't do that. Just in case there's a positive intention. That's the why you've got a best friend inside your unconscious mind that has to protect you in all ways, shapes or forms. Doesn't want to get you hurt. Doesn't want you have that feeling of guilt, maybe. And it uses all forms of defenses. But the thing is, as an intention, what a wonderful thing to have your best friend looking. Has got your back, hasn't it? Got your back, front, sides, up and down. Protecting you every moment of the day. And that's so honourable. And I like to honour my best friend. I like to honour your best friend, your unconscious mind for doing what it's doing. Trying its best to look after us, look after you, look after me. But the thing is, that behavior now is no longer appropriate. Because if you think about it, if someone says something, were they really trying to attack you? Really, honestly, truly? Come on. It was a stupid thing to do, Stu. But you try to defend yourself. But the thing is, it. This is so totally inappropriate. I'm, going to tell you how we're going to get out of that. And how you're going to check for that. But you see, what happens is there's a thing called the communication model in NLP. And it's how we communicate. Or how we filter the outside world to our inside world. How we perceive reality as it were. And, make it our reality of a reality out there. Because each of us, as we look at an event that's happening will have a different connotation, a different view, literally a different view of that event going on. Because what happens is we see that event through. And, we filter it through all our. All our senses, our sight, our hearing, our feelings, smell and taste. We also filter it through deletions, distortions and generalizations. In order to make sense of that reality outside. Because there's so much information bombarding us. And we have to filter it out. Because if not, we'd go pop. And there's also our attitudes and our experiences, values and beliefs. And you see, if you have got experiences in the past where you have been hurt, maybe you have been made to feel guilty. No, I'll change that. Where you chose to feel guilty, it's different. No one makes you feel anything. You choose. That's a hard one to accept sometimes because you've heard it before. You made me do that. And when you say very directly now, you chose to feel that way. That hurts sometimes because it's true. And then we fight back against that. But if we've had experiences of the past where we've chosen to feel hurt and we've chosen to feel guilty and things like that, then it's like an anchor. And, our unconscious mind goes, I know how to defend against this. Fight back. And it worked. Maybe a long time ago when you was a ickle lickle person, your unconscious mind, with very little wisdom, very little experience in the world, fought back. Maybe you just said something nasty and the other person just went away. And your unconscious mind goes, ah, that stops me feeling guilty. That stops me, you know, getting hurt. And it does it more and more. And it even looks for sounds. The look, as I said, the sound of a voice might trigger that response. The look of someone's face may trigger that defunct, might trigger that response. And you get defensive straight away before someone's even said anything. That look makes you defensive. Have you had that before? And I think, as we say, thank you to our unconscious mind for doing this. But hey ho, think about this, mister, and misses unconscious mind. It's no longer, it's no longer inapp, it's no longer appropriate. These are inappropriate responses. There are so many better ways. And I believe when we show our unconscious mind that there are better ways, it has to, without shadow of a doubt, 100%. It has to choose a better way. Why wouldn't it? If it's, if it is geared up, to protect you, that's its role. To keep you safe, to protect you and keep you healthy. How can it choose something that's less than the alternative? It can't, can it? But what we have to do is, first of all, honour that intention so we don't just beat ourselves up. I got a lovely story about that. And this morning, I decided I would give myself a good old beating up. In my journal, I'm going to talk about on a five minute quickie. Because it made me. It's like beating myself up and making myself laugh at the same time.     Sometimes we speak harshly to our best friend inside   And I did. I really tore into myself. I think I'll do that on a five minute quickie. And you can see everything. But the thing is that sometimes we even speak to our best friend inside so much more harshly than we would a best friend outside. We'd actually say thank you. Thank you for helping me, thank you for trying to find a better way, but we'll do that. And then I'm going to show you in a moment a couple of processes, how we can just guide our unconscious mind to find better ways.     I'd suggest that you go to one to one therapy   Now, before we go into those processes, what I'd like to say is, if this is really getting on your nerves, if this is something that is happening over and over again, and it is making your relationships really bad, it's making your life feel, hurt and guilty, because that's a conflict, isn't it? That's a massive direct conflict. I'm going to protect you as your unconscious mind from being hurt and guilty. You have one of those stupid bloody arguments that spiral out of control. You get passive aggressive, they get passive aggressive, you both pee off into different directions for a day or two. And in all that time, I protected you from feeling hurt and guilty. And what do you do? You feel hurt and guilty all that time until you go and make up. And sometimes I've seen it in some family situations and that there is no makeup. That's it forever. And, what a waste that is through this. So if it is something that is maybe you feel getting slightly out of control, what I'm going to share with you will help. But I'd also suggest that you go to one to one therapy. Now, there's a lot of adverts on, on the Internet about therapy. I have some real issues with that because I don't know, understand how you do therapy by text. I mean, that is crazy. Have you ever tried to understand anybody on a text? The emotion doesn't come through, does it? No, it's absolutely b's, I think. I believe. I find it difficult to do on the phone because you can't see facial expressions because people can say things. And, you know, if you were looking at them, that's not quite what they meant. They have unconscious communication. Their unconscious mind is saying one thing and their conscious mind is saying something else. And that's where the conflict is. You can't see that over telephone. So I like one to one, you can do it online, like with, to see your therapist and let them to see you. Ideally one to one in the same room so they are with you, so they can see the whole of your body, the whole body language. I don't like body language, but the whole unconscious communication, and they can jump in there and then. Now, if that's the thing, do look for this one I prefer, I would suggest, I'd recommend is find someone who's a master hypnotist. And in that role of a master hypnotist, they also have maybe certainly a practitioner of NLP. But I'd like to see a master practical of NLP. I'd also like to see a master prac or master practitioner of timeline therapy. You put those three together, you have got someone who's got some absolutely awesome skills. And also because I know the way they've been trained, they will look to make this the change in you and you to change in you. they won't do it for you. You will change with their guidance, their help, but you'll do it quickly, you'll do it easily and you'll do it effortlessly. It does not have to be hurtful, it does not have to be painful. You don't have to keep going back to old experiences. You don't. You get your unconscious mind to learn anyway. That's another subject. If you look back to what to expect, I think it's, I don't know, I did it in a five minute quickie or something like that a long time ago. And I think it's called what to expect in a therapist, something like that. Search for that, tell you all about it. And if you go to one to one therapy, you will really hammer at home. and what I'm going to share with you now will also help. Cannot do any harm at m all on that. So there, that's my advice. If that is really peeing you off and you think this is, you know, really creating a relationship that's going to maybe no longer be a relationship and that would be such a shame, get your therapy in. But here's the thing, let's go on to these processes are, ah, you with me for that? Because this will work on all sorts of responses you have, the things you're triggered about. So now what we can do is, well, we have to learn from past events, because if we don't learn from past events, then our unconscious mind carries on doing that same inappropriate response, one of an intention, and we're never going to change that intention because I want that your best friend to keep the intention from you getting hurt, huh? From feeling guilty, from feeling anything negative, only want positive things for you, safety for you comfortable. Feeling comfortable is the wonderful, safest place you could be in my mind. So here's what you could do. You can just reflect on, say there was that silly argument that got out of control. So we can reflect on it. But the way to reflect on it is not to go back into it. Because if you go back into it and see through your own eyes what you saw, then hear what you heard then. So you're seeing the look on the face, you're hearing that, you're hearing the tone of the voice, and you're getting those feelings, and you're hearing those words and you're getting those old feelings again. You're back to where you were again. And you can't learn, you can't read the label from inside the bottle or the jar. You know that. So we're going to dissociate for a little while because that's a lovely filter. Because when we dissociate, we can see things from a dispassionate perspective. It's literally seeing the whole thing without the emotion. And without that emotion, we can then learn and decide of different ways. So you could just imagine a movie in front of you of that memory, and the memory will never be the same, but it doesn't matter because we're going to do something really good. You run through that memory and just let it run through in your mind over there on that movie screen. And you're seeing yourself, by the way, in that movie. So you're watching yourself and the other person, maybe you're on the phone or whatever it is, but you're just, you're seeing a picture, a movie of yourself from over here. You can see yourself over there. That's called dissociation. And you just watch it go through. And your unconscious mind can do this quite quickly. So if it was a, it went on for half an hour, you're not going to watch it for half an hour. You could just get some snippets of it. Because your unconscious mind can relive a memory in seconds. And then what we're going to say to our unconscious mind is, let's just cut out the crap. Sorry about that, but let's just. The fluff. Let's call it the fluff. I said that because sometimes it's emotional, but let's take out all the fluff. The things that people said, the things that you may have said which were totally irrelevant to what was the aim of that first comment. And you take that away and you then replay that movie with just, I call it the facts, the truth, none of the stuff you made up, and you filter through your experiences. Let's just have the truth. They said this, and this is what happened. So maybe you were late and they accused you of oh, you're late. So you don't respect me anymore? And you go, oh, don't you have a go at me? I respect, what about you? The last time you, now you go, okay, let's take the fluff all out of that. What actually happened? I had agreed to be back on a particular time and I didn't. I did turn up late.     Steve: Imagine your unconscious mind looking at different ways of dealing with situations   And what they said was true. That's it. They're the facts. I had agreed to do something and I didn't do what I agreed. And they have just pointed that out to me now. They're the facts. That's what really is the nub of all of this. So how can I learn to do that better? And if you imagine another movie screen beside that one, you say, well, let's play a movie of how I could have reacted differently. And it could be that I see myself going in and someone saying, oh, you're late. You don't respect me. And you go, look, I'm really sorry. I respect you immensely and I have maybe done it wrong. I was actually trying to do something else and I forgot and it's totally my fault and I apologize profusely. And m they might say something else. I don't know. I apologize. I'm really sorry. I'm going to do my best to never let that happen again. That might be way, that might be a way another one could be. They say, you're late, you don't respect me. And you say, I respect you so much that I had to deal with something. And in my head I knew if I didn't deal with it when I come and saw you and be with you, I couldn't give you my full attention. Now I, know I should have let you know and I didn't, and that's my bad. Notice what reaction you would get and you can run through a few of these and you get your unconscious mind and go, you know, I can do this consciously, like I did those two. What would you do? Unconscious mind in a different way. Knowing I've got so many other skills, I've learned so many different things, I have positive experiences. How could I could have just rung earlier and said, I'm really sorry, I'm going to be late. I have an issue. Is that, okay? Explain the issue. Hey, that would work. They go, okay, thank you so much for letting me know. Now I can go do something and I'll be back later. Oh, now I've got three alternatives and, what I like to do is in front of those alternatives I like to imagine me, another me, looking at those screens of a me doing all that stuff. So it's got. So that me in front of me is looking at those three screens, as it were. And I want that me out there to go, what else could I do? As if I was looking into the future and making sure that I've got all different, different ways of, ah, approaching that similar event in the future. And, because it's doing that, my unconscious mind is actually me over there doing that for me. And, when it does that more and more, it actually feels it's actually happening in the real world. It cannot tell the difference between reality, what's happening in the now, and, what's happening in your mind. And so we've done it. And you say to yourself, which one of those would have had a better result? Which one of those would have stopped me feeling and, protected me from hurt? Which one of those would protect me from feeling guilty? Ah, And then you just go, sorry, just say this or something better. And imagine your unconscious mind going through all your experiences, all your skills to work, to, have a repertoire, to have, like a recipe. And if you want, you know, maybe it doesn't work straight away. Maybe you have to take one or two times to do this. Sometimes it works absolutely straight away, but something happens. And so as soon as you can just replay it, you might find halfway through, you're triggered, and, halfway through you go, actually, can we just stop? And you then go into one of those processes, one of those reactions, one of those ways of dealing with that situation. And then, you know, you're learning. You know, you're doing the stuff. So that's a wonderful. That process, by the way, that's like a process of responding to criticism. And that process was created by a wonderful man, a, wonderful man called Steve Andreas. He's no longer in this, this world now, unfortunately, he's gone to the multiverse, universe, heaven, wherever you want to go, whatever you want to think. And I love that process. I love all the work that he did. So if you're interested in NLP, do look for works by Steve Andreas.     Paul Clough: Please do give this process a real go play with it   Okay, so that's where we're going to split this episode. I hope you enjoyed it. Please do give that process a real go play with it. Because when you set your intention and have that childlike quality of play, curiosity, you will make this so good. You'll find out new ways and your unconscious mind will take them on, because that's what your unconscious mind does. It finds when you find better ways, it has to take them on because it knows your comfort is where safety is. And the more comfortable you are in responding to other people's communication, because that's all we're doing. We're using all our skills and enjoying life, dealing with things that come, come and maybe side blind us, if that's the right word, I don't know. But that's what we're going to do. So I'm not going to leave you hanging. As I said, I will issue the next part, part two in the next few days. So keep an eye out for that and we'll just move around an FMq instead. Okay. And so have fun. Let me know if you want to let me know of how it worked or if it was, maybe it was a little bit confusing. I hope it wasn't. But if there was any confusion, please do let me know by email. Feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged. Let me know. Or maybe there's a scenario that you think, would this work or won't it work? Ask me the question. I'll either adapt it, give you an idea, or maybe there's another process that's even more applicable, more appropriate. So there's my offer to you to come and test me. And, let's see where we can go. So, my friend, have more fun than you can stand. Go fly and I'll see you here, or you'll hear from me in the next few days. Okay. With part two and another super, process. Okay, bye bye now. Warning. You are now leaving the unplugged mind of Paul Clough. It's time to fly on your own. Be brave, my friend.

Google's latest AI search feature, known as the Search Generative Experience, is inadvertently guiding users to scam websites, exposing them to all kinds of malware and deceptive practices. How can you stay safe from these AI generated search suggestions? In other news, hackers have launched an attack against the Discord community, compromising GitHub accounts and poisoning entire supply chains with malware infected Python packages, risking the personal data of developers and consumers alike. And finally, the U. S. Department of Treasury takes a bold stance and sanctions a Wuhan based company and two Chinese nationals, all linked to the notorious APT31 hacking group, for cyber operations that threaten the critical infrastructure in the United States. And if you've been listening for a while, you've heard Lots of White House guidance about protecting critical infrastructure. Well, how is this going to affect that? Stick around to find out. [00:01:08] Protecting Yourself from Malicious Browser Notifications Google's new AI powered search generative experience is inadvertently promoting scam sites that can mislead users with fake giveaways and malware. These scam sites often redirect users through multiple pages, eventually leading them to fake giveaways or sites pushing unwanted software and browser extensions. Some of the scams that I've seen include fake tech support alerts and iPhone giveaways, but Google acknowledges the challenge of keeping spam out of search results and is continuously updating its systems to combat these scams.. , So some things to look out for are really anything generated by AI in your search results, which you'll see at the top, Google's really pushing it for some reason, probably continue to use Google as it was created to be used, going through the search engines yourself, use caution, but you will see redirects to YouTube videos or fake captchas is a really common thing by giving you that sense that. Your identity is being verified by this captcha. It's just a tactic from scammers. So if you see a captcha, maybe even look more scrutinously because it is a tactic. You'll also see the top level domain like com or org, but for these ads, you'll see online a lot. But yeah, it's pretty interesting. There have been recent campaigns to poison Google search results. By using generative content. I mean, Google is just pulling from the internet and what's a lot of the internet scams and AI is having a hard time figuring this out. They're even like posting Craigslist ads. Like if you search for Australian Shepherd, there's a screenshot in the article linked below that points you to Craigslist where there's an Australian Shepherd for sale. Great! You might also get those pop ups when you use Google Chrome that asks if you want to allow the browser to send you notifications, allow or deny. I personally hate those , but this is another tactic being used by attackers to send you unwanted spam. Once you click that allow, they can send you whatever. they want. Continuously trying to trick you into clicking. So for those of you listening out there, I didn't know this before now, but you can actually go into the Google Chrome settings and see all of the sites you've allowed to send you notifications. You just go to Chrome, Settings, Content, and Notifications. Under Allowed to Send Notifications you will see a list of sites that you have subscribed to Browser Notifications. So make sure that's only. websites that you trust. I like having my youtube. com notifications on both as a creator and a consumer. Facebook, Instagram, what else do you really need notifications for? So until AI has fully taken over the world, probably don't trust it when doing your searches and try to avoid clicking allow on browser notifications on Google Chrome. [00:04:04] The Impact of Sanctions on US Critical Infrastructure Protection The U. S. Department of the Treasury has imposed sanctions on Wuhan Science and Technology Company, Wuhan XRZ, and two Chinese nationals for cyber operations endangering U. S. national security, focusing on U. S. critical infrastructure sectors. So this is probably what has led to all of this guidance coming out of the White House on how to protect against attacks on our critical infrastructure because they've been seeing these attacks. and analyzing them and providing this guidance. This move is in response to activities linked to the Chinese state sponsored APT31 group, which has targeted a broad range of U. S. national security components, including high ranking officials and critical sectors such as defense, information technology, and energy. The sanctions that have been imposed block all property and interests in property of the designated persons and entities within the U. S. and prohibit transactions with them unless authorized by OFAC. Some past activities from this hacking group, APT31, include spearfishing campaigns against the U. S. Naval Academy and the U. S. Naval War College's China Maritime Studies Institute, demonstrating their focus on acquiring sensitive information. So this is likely a nation state actor group trying to get a foothold in the U. S. economy by hacking. grabbing as much sensitive data as they can, or poking around in the networks of our critical infrastructure, possibly to craft an attack down the line. Maybe they don't have anything planned at this time, but it is in our enemy's best interest to have these footholds in our networks, and maybe once they get enough footholds they might launch a nationwide attack. or something along those lines. So recently the U S government has realized they can't do everything on their own. They need the help of these critical infrastructure, IT departments, and have been doing their part to provide guidance in securing these networks. So if you're listening and you work in IT and a critical infrastructure, check out all the guidance has come out of the white house and maybe even reach out to the white house or the FBI for help because they have a vested interest in your security. [00:06:28] The Threat to Python Developers: Supply Chain Attacks And finally, sophisticated hackers compromised GitHub accounts, including a high profile incident involving top. gg, using stolen browser cookies to push malicious code into repositories. targeting data theft. So top. gg is a platform that serves as a search and discovery directory for discord servers, bots, and other related tools. It offers a comprehensive database where users can find and add bots to their discord servers to enhance functionality. automate tasks, or integrate new features. So if you've ever run a Discord server or have been on Discord, you've probably interacted with top. gg. Well, they're the subject of this attack. The attackers orchestrated a supply chain attack by creating a fake Python package mirror, tricking developers into downloading trojanized versions of popular packages like Colorama. So this specifically applies to Python developers, which I am one, I've developed multiple bots using Python. Check to see what packages you've downloaded recently and see if they're the actual packages. It's so easy to install these packages. It's just like a couple words in your command line, pip install. package name. If you have a typo, or if you Google search for the package, or find some documentation for the wrong package, this would be a very easy mistake. And maybe it even contains the same functionality that the actual package contains. just injects some sort of malware into your system or into your discord server or into the bot that other people are integrating into their discord server. So let's, let's go double check those. The malware deployed through this campaign is multifaceted, capable of stealing a wide array of data including browser cookies, crypto wallet info, and social media tokens, with persistent mechanisms via Windows Registry modifications.. I don't think I've ever realized this before at how easy it would be for me to make a typo in my Python package. Cause there's no real checks when you're doing these installations. So this supply chain attack really calls for added vigilance. in the Python package download process, I think. There's a lot of room for improvements.

Usually the injury is a lack of nourishment given by the parent to the child, i.e. emotional, physical abandonment, or spoiling the child and not having them work for a for rewards in life.

Art of Manliness When Sam Rosenberg was 20 years old and working as a bouncer in a bar, a disgruntled patron pointed a gun directly at his chest and told him: “Now I'm going to kill you.”Sam survived the incident but it caused him to question what he thought he knew about self-defense and sent him on a decades-long quest to figure out how people can best protect themselves and others.Today on the show, I talk to Sam, an expert in personal protection and the author of Live Ready: A Guide to Protecting Yourself in an Uncertain World, about his self-defense philosophy and how you can use it in your life to stay safe from violent threats. Sam makes the case that understanding how the mind works under life-or-death stress is the foundation of protecting yourself. We unpack that idea, as well as the phases of the timeline of violence, the phase you can exercise the most control in to deter a violent encounter and how to know when you're in that phase, how to convey you're a hard target that predators don't want to mess with, and much more.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: The Tao of Boyd — How to Master the OODA LoopAoM Article: A Crash Course in Real World Self-DefenseAoM Article: How to Treat Your Family Like VIPsAoM Podcast #85: Situational Awareness With Patrick Van HorneAoM Podcast #198: Turning Yourself Into a Human Weapon With Tony BlauerAoM Podcast #334: When Violence Is the AnswerAoM Podcast #513: Be Your Own BodyguardAoM Podcast #688: Protection for and From HumanityAoM Podcast #781: Beyond OODA — Developing the Orientation for Conflict and ViolenceConnect With Sam RosenbergLiveReady website
