Podcasts about Reactivity

Gray joins Nikki to explore how to build a strong relationship with your dog by finding the path of least resistance. That path can be rough and full of obstacles—or it can be smooth and natural, like butter. But remember, the path that works for one person might not work for another.

Sarah's Type 6 mind moves fast—so fast it can create instant connection and obscure deeper intimacy. In this episode, she unpacks the whirlwind: the pull between independence and support, the trap of victimhood, and how unchecked reactivity nearly derailed a past relationship. With raw honesty, she explores self-sabotage, emotional spirals, and the slow work of learning self-trust. This is a conversation about growing beyond fear into real, grounded connection.

In this episode, Nikki discusses your dog's brain and how the pathways are similar to an interstate. Interstates have off-ramps, or they would get gridlocked. Does your dog's interstate brain have off-ramps or rest and renewal or is he constantly fighting the enormous amount of traffic flowing nowhere? dogspeak101.comdogspeakgeek.thinkific.comDecoding Aggression and Reactivity SummitSign up for our newsletter.

Send us a textEver been told your dog is a lost cause? Meet Alice and Bonnie—a story that proves second chances can lead to extraordinary transformations.When Alice adopted Bonnie, a powerful brindle mastiff mix with a history of aggression that had resulted in another dog's death, she had no idea what she was getting into. That first walk when Bonnie dragged Alice across a field in a reactive frenzy made one thing clear: this would be no ordinary rehabilitation journey."We definitely wondered if this was beyond our capabilities," Alice confesses in this raw, honest conversation about the reality of living with a severely reactive dog. After one trainer declared Bonnie would "never like other dogs," Alice refused to accept that verdict. Instead, she found an approach that would completely transform their lives. Through a methodical progression of games that built crucial skills like disengagement and optimism, Bonnie gradually evolved from a "grizzly bear" on leash to a dog who could calmly navigate the world.The journey wasn't linear—there were tears, setbacks, and moments of doubt. But Alice shares the practical strategies that made progress possible: ditching traditional walks temporarily, homeschooling essential skills, introducing challenges at Bonnie's pace, and perhaps most importantly, maintaining balance through self-care practices completely separate from dog training.Whether you're struggling with your own reactive dog or simply interested in understanding behavior transformation, this conversation offers both practical guidance and genuine hope. As Alice says to anyone feeling overwhelmed by their dog's behavior: "There is a manageable route up that mountain. You just need someone to guide you the right way."Support the showIf you're loving the podcast, you'll love our NEW Sexier than a Squirrel Dog Training Challenge even more!

Welcome back to the House of Her Podcast. In today's conversation, I am diving deep into the transformative topic of reactivity, exploring how it might just be at the root of our suffering. Inspired by my partner's current experience at a 10-day Vipassana retreat, we'll discuss the practice of non-reactivity and self-purification in the face of discomfort. It's about freeing ourselves from the automatic patterns that limit our potential and learning to respond to life from a place of regulation.We'll delve into how these reactivity patterns shape our lives, relationships, and careers, and most importantly, how we can choose liberation by embracing every emotion as a part of the human experience. Whether it's avoiding discomfort or sabotaging pleasure, understanding these patterns is the first step to change. I'll share practical ways to catch ourselves in moments of reactivity, creating space to respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically. Join me as we journey toward personal freedom and a more compassionate way of being.Key Takeaways:Liberation through accepting emotions without judgment or reactivity.The potential for changes in personal life and relationships when reacting to life thoughtfully, rather than automatically.Reminder that the journey to liberation is a practice, not about perfection.Time Stamps:06:26 - Reactivity: Avoidance and Self-Protection09:09 - "Breaking Free from Reactivity Spiral"11:32 - Embracing Emotions Equally Liberates Life14:01 - Aligning Life with Heart's Desires16:20 - Living Mindfully: A Compassionate ApproachEpisode Quotes“I like to reframe the word self sabotage as self protection because that's really what's happening.

“If you have a new onset of anxiety or depression that doesn't even make sense to you, think of a more physical cause.” - Dr. Neil Nathan   Do you have issues with focus, concentration, or even finding the word you want to use? If so, you might be dealing with the hidden effects of mold toxicity and Lyme disease.  In this episode, Dr. Aimie sits down with Dr. Neil Nathan to discuss how mold toxicity and Lyme disease can create a "biology of threat" in the body that can trigger and maintain a state of hypervigilance and reactivity. This is not the only issue  mold toxins and Lyme infections can cause. They can create unique inflammatory responses that affect the brain, nervous system, and immune function, often manifesting as unexplained anxiety, depression, cognitive issues, and physical symptoms that are often misdiagnosed as mental health disorders. Dr. Nathan also introduces "the big three" factors keeping the body stuck in threat mode: limbic activation, vagal dysregulation, and mast cell activation. He'll share how these become dysregulated when faced with mold toxicity and Lyme disease, causing the body to shut down as a protective mechanism. This explains why you may experience seemingly inexplicable sensitivities and reactions despite doing all the "right" emotional and psychological work for trauma recovery. Join them as they break down the science behind the body's response to mold toxicity and Lyme disease, if it's possible to reverse it, and actionable steps you can take to start the healing journey. You'll learn more about: [05:05] How “out of the blue” anxiety, depression, or other symptoms might actually be caused by mold or Lyme [10:00] What makes the inflammation associated with these internal stressors unique [16:46]  Why the “big three” need to be addressed together in sensitive patients [17:38] How mold toxicity and Lyme can lead to chronic neurological and autoimmune conditions [20:33] The internal trauma response that can be created by mold toxicity and Lyme And more!   Dr. Neil Nathan is a Board Certified Family Physician who has been practicing medicine for over 50 years. As he studied and learned a wide variety of alternative concepts, his practice gravitated into primarily helping to diagnose and treat those patients who have not been helped by conventional medicine. He's worked with thousands of patients with complex medical illnesses such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, mold toxicity, chronic Lyme disease, autism, and chronic pain.    Related Podcasts: Episode 105: How Anxiety, Depression & Trauma Reactions May Be From Mold and Heavy Metals Episode 106: How Mast Cell Activation, Histamines & Mold Toxicity Place You in a High-Risk Trauma Category   Guides, Tools & Resources: The Essential Sequence - free guide that shows you the difference between stress and trauma states of our nervous system.

Recognizing that anger is one of the unskillful roots that hinder our spiritual practice, Margaret emphasizes the importance of transforming negative emotions into goodwill, compassion, and equanimity.    The heart of this episode centers around five effective strategies to combat feelings of hatred: 1. Develop goodwill 2. Cultivate compassion 3. Practice equanimity.4. Ignore and pay no attention.5. Recognize the individual's karmic journey.    By employing mindfulness and focusing on our intentions, we can rise above the fray and contribute positively to ourselves and the world around us. This episode is not just an exploration of Buddhist philosophy; it's a heartfelt call to cultivate compassion and understanding, even for those with whom we might disagree.     

Anna Palumbo (SO/SP 9w8 973) is a Type 9 mother who has been undergoing a profound transformation—untangling herself from patterns of enmeshment and reconnecting with her own life-force. In this episode, we focus on Anna's relationship with her Type 6 daughter and how her Type 9 tendency to merge initially obscured her ability to be present with her daughter's reactivity. We also explore the Positive Outlook reflex of Type 9 and its dynamic tension with the "point-out-the-problem" and "raise-the-alarm" tendency of Type 6. Anna brings remarkable clarity, grace, and self-awareness to this discussion, offering a rare, high-resolution look at the inner experience of a 9 navigating parenthood and the individuation journey.

Have you ever struggled with your dog's reactivity?  Whether your dog is reactive to other dogs, people or something in the environment, Grisha Stewart's Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT) may be what you've been looking for to help your dog lead a more comfortable life. Grisha developed BAT training while dealing with her own dog, Peanut's, reactivity.  Despite doing everything “right” – according to the dog training advice available at the time – she was she still struggling. Grisha shares with us the principles of BAT and how BAT is based on positive reinforcement, but without the use of food.  Focusing on resiliency and empowering your dog, BAT builds your dog's confidence, communication and trust. What about those times when we face a setback and our dog does get reactive?  We'll learn about the choices we can make to best support our dog from the human end of the leash, as well.   Find links, photos and show notes at: https://believeindogpodcast.com/episodes-1/episode117   Get your free checklist: Join Erin the Dog Mom's email list to receive the 12 Changes in Your Dog to Never Ignore checklist.

Welcome to Mindset Mondays, where each Monday Madds will be sharing a 5-minute tidbit of wisdom, that she and her clients apply to their lives to be the happiest, healthiest, highest versions of themselves. In this conversation, Madds discusses the transformative power of the 24-hour rule in managing emotional reactions. She emphasizes the importance of taking a step back after experiencing a negative emotional charge, allowing time for reflection and processing before responding. This practice not only aids in personal growth but also fosters healthier communication in relationships. Madds highlights the significance of understanding one's triggers and taking responsibility for emotional responses, rather than expecting others to change their behavior to accommodate personal sensitivities.

Episode Summary:  When you marry, your heart overflows with enthusiasm, exhilaration, and optimism. You can't wait to start a new life with this one whose mere presence or voice causes an abundance of feel-good neurotransmitters to your brain. But soon after, differences in temperament, gender, family of origin, and marital expectations collide. You discover that the characteristics and behaviors you once found attractive in your mate, are now sources of irritation and frustration. Conflict erupts, causing reactivity in your temperament to surface more often. Before long, your dialogue degrades with frequent accusations and debates about perspective. The enemy in this fight isn't your spouse. Unmanaged reactivity, those involuntary and unregulated reactive messages you inadvertently send your spouse when you're triggered is the culprit. Today, Dr. Donald Welch joins me to talk about how to recognize reactivity, understand its origin and work together to eliminate it, learning to respond rather than react in our marriages. Quotables from the episode: The enemy is not your spouse. Our temperament is really the way God made us. And so understanding how we are made allows us to become more comfortable and really at peace with who we are and who we are not, because we're created in God's image. And as we embrace our natural temperament, we are then in a better position to also accept and embrace our spouses temperament rather than trying to change them into someone they aren't. Before marriage, there's a tendency to attract to the opposite and after marriage to attack that opposite when it's really one of our best friends in a healthy marriage. So, as we learn more about our temperament, we can focus on enhancing our strengths and minimizing our weaknesses. The way God made us is to be able to protect ourselves. So for example, if I were to touch or you were to touch something hot, your hand or my hand would react before the brain knows it's hot. It's a way to protect ourselves. So what happens with the limbic system is that we can have all sorts of reactions. Like for example, if I squint my eyes, the other person or we're having dialogue, you might involuntarily react to it. Or if somebody screams or you hear something sharp, you might have a reaction to be awakened to see, do I need to take care of something? So we have hundreds of these normal reactions, and I've seen it for 40 years in marriages, in the sense of working with couples, that they will tend to react to each other before they're aware and then they're off to the races, and it's difficult to decrease that. So I define reactivity as involuntary, unconscious thought, uncontrolled relationship, impeding behaviors that originate from the feeling part of our brain known as the limbic system. We can have these involuntary reactions in a marriage that actually set up the marriage for difficulty. So since these originate from the feeling part of the brain rather than the thinking part of the brain, they're largely outside of our conscious awareness, so it can make it insidious to the relationship. So we want awareness. Is it possible that we react to present conflict even based out of past wounds in other relationships? - Oh yes, that's very common. In fact, it's why unfortunately, second marriages move up to about 80 % of potentially divorce because they're bringing in those reactions. In my opinion, those reactions, and there's what I believe support this, is that those reactions are coming into the relationship. And so now that person reminds me of something from the past. That's why those first eight years of life for any child are incredibly important because we are, the way our brains design, we absorb emotion and then that emotion can stay with us and then we can practice it without even knowing and then it's a reaction into adulthood. You suggest that the greater a couple's differences, the more likely their marriage will be to succeed. And that's not what society typically says, so help us understand that a bit. Yes, that's a fascinating concept that really God created the opposite, man and woman. And may I just quickly tie into this idea of wounds and how it may impact your current question because many people believe that their past is the past and it does not affect them now. Others may believe that their past can affect them but they think they have dealt with it and it is now irrelevant. The truth is emotions never forget. There is nothing ambiguous about marriage in the Bible. It is far superior to any other permutation—offering stability for kids, security for spouses, and higher rates of happiness overall. Intimacy only exists in an environment filled with trust and loyalty. Intimacy can be defined as a close relationship that does not operate at the expense of the self, with a self that does not operate at the expense of the other, and in which each person is fully known and fully loved. The freedom to choose to respond rather than react is a gift of being human. Love only exists where choice is present. When choice is eliminated, so is intimacy. The path out of reactivity to a responsive marriage is a continuous journey to discover the fulfilling and deeply satisfying marriage you desire. Fewer adults are getting and staying married. Those who do tend to have unrealistic expectations or poor communication and conflict resolution skills. When one understands and embraces their natural temperament and learns to minimize negative reactivity in the expression of their temperament, their important relationships will flourish and grow. A relationship lacking nurture wipes out any trust one may have in the other person. Unmet expectations are relationship killers. Intimacy only exists in an environment filled with trust and loyalty. We can't simply change the definition of marriage and think you can solve relationship problems. No studies show any form of alternative family as better than what has been traditionally defined for millenia.   Scripture References: Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 5 Galatians 5 Romans 4:17 As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed--the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.   Recommended Resources:  The Responsive Marriage: Finding the Path Out of Reactivity by Dr. Donald W.

Here I offer a guided meditation designed to bring us into contact with the preliminary sensations of a trigger leading up to a reactive pattern. Then we explore the different components of the trigger with non-judgement, which can help to remove some of the momentum from the pattern. Then we explore savoring the cessation of the reactive emotion and pattern. Based on the work of Bowen, Chawla and Marlatt. Meditation can be challenging at times. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this, or other meditation practices, please feel free to message me through my website: www.suchsweetthunder.org I have been practicing meditation for 39 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books. I have received formal training in Theravada, Mahayana (Tibetan, Zen,) and Vedanta meditation techniques as well as Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness, MBSR, Neuroplasticity, Non-Violent Communication, and Buddhist Psychology. I teach from a secular voice and I am passionate about bringing timeless wisdom teachings to people of any faith, belief system, or tradition.

In this episode Brook and his guests Lisa Johnson and Chris Barry from the podcast Been There Got Out discuss the notion of High Conflict Detox. This is where a person/parent is stuck deeply in the habitual cycle of conflict and the nervous system maintains a high level of chronic activation. In order to break the cycle one must endure the discomfort of disengagement, develop a self awareness of the cycle in order to break free of the strong impulse to engage in and continue the conflict. This conflict pattern is very much physiological and can be mastered. Enjoy!!!
