Podcasts about relationship repair

Many of us dream of living a luxurious life, and we tend to confine that idea to materialistic luxury, houses and cars and clothing and jewelry and travel, all the things money can buy. And yet there is another type of luxury I want to talk about with you today, and it's the luxury of living in alignment with our God-given possibility, the luxury of living a life that creates more energy than it expends, a life of feeling amazing in the love we have for ourselves, for others, and for God. This is luxury that feels like a pearl of great price, something we are willing to sacrifice our tolerable life for.

Yeadon Smith is a husband, father of four redheads, apartment buyer, mentor at My First Million In Multifamily, co-host of the "Porn to Purpose" podcast , and the Co-Founder of Live Oak Capital, a commercial real estate investment firm focusing on multifamily apartment properties, offering investment opportunities to private investors.

This isn't a lecture; it's a real conversation with a guy who's been in the trenches and found his way out. Yeadon doesn't sugarcoat the awkward moments or the serious consequences of this addiction. He shares the triggers, the lies we tell ourselves, and the practical steps he took to reclaim his life after over 700 days of recovery. In this episode, you'll gain insight into: The insidious ways porn addiction takes root and escalates. The devastating impact it has on intimacy and trust in marriage. Concrete tools and strategies Yeadon implemented for lasting freedom. How to confront the shame and start the journey toward healing.

Our egos can cloud the value of our relationships, creating disconnection and shielding us from vulnerability. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we delve deeper into the topic of difficult conversations. Explore how conflict and differences between partners aren't a flaw but a gift. Even when relationships end, there's wisdom to be gained. Tune in to uncover how friction can foster growth and deepen our connections.

All relationships struggle, so all relationships need repair. Knowing how to repair is an essential skill for creating healthy and happy relationships, and that darn ego of ours can make it so difficult to show up in loving and kind ways because it wants to be right and it wants to prove to our spouse how wrong they are. But learning to show up creating a safe space for our spouse, especially in the context of a relationship struggle, is a valuable relationship tool that will change the trajectory of your relationship, while at the same time providing you with the self-care necessary to increase your sense of self and continue to show up better and better.

Get ready to rethink everything you think you know about relationships. In this live-recorded episode of Spiritually Hungry, we discuss four ways to grow with your partner and strengthen your bond so you can reconnect and change together.“The strongest relationships are when two people are committed to changing together.” – Monica Berg

The Aspect Compass, part of the Meta-Compass Model, divides areas of the brain and aspects of the psyche into four parts called:  The Artist, The Scout, The Warrior, and The Chief. The Artist represents those parts of the brain and psyche that understand the world in terms of emotions.  The Artist communicates, in terms of feelings and moods, to the rest of the brain.  Helping The Artist feel centered involves making The Artist feel heard and seen.  Creative arts activities can be emotionally centering activities.  Co-Regulating with others and Experiencing empathy from others is especially centering.  Empathic Listening is a great technique for helping clients to experience empathy. The Scout represents those parts of the brain and psyche that are tasked with exploring the world, trying to make sense of it, and reporting back to the rest of the brain.  The Scout tends to over-analyze and can become very disorganized (in other words, thinking becomes disorganized).  Having clients exercise the Scout skills of Accurate Listening and Accurate Reporting are centering for this part of the psyche.  Listening Checks are an effective tool for teaching Accurate Listening.   Teaching Accurate Reporting often times involves using Clarifying Questions to help them describe a full sequence of events in the proper chronological order.  It includes encouraging kids to report whatever happened in a calm tone of voice (exercising Reaction Inhibition and Stress Tolerance).  Having kids Identify More Than One Possible Explanation for why something has occurred or someone has done something helps them exercise the executive skill of Flexibility. The Warrior represents those parts of the brain and psyche that are in charge of both external behaviors and internal physiological actions.  If The Warrior is heightened, it is very difficult for the Scout to function (in other words, if a kid is still agitated they're not going to be able to access their best thinking).  The Warrior tends to automatically react (especially internally) to whatever The Artist is communicating.  So to help The Scout improve at processing events, The Warrior and The Artist need to first be relatively calm. The Chief represents those parts of the brain and psyche that are in charge of regulating The Artist, The Scout, and The Warrior.  The Chief uses Executive Skills (and some other abilities such as Beliefs and Values) to influence a person's feelings, thinking, and behaviors.  Processing is a technique designed to strengthen a kid's inner Chief and inner Scout.  It can be done throughout the residential day, but especially makes sense to use after an incident involving problem behaviors.  Once a kid has been separated from the group and has generally calmed down, Processing provides a structured way to turn what happened into a learning experience.  Processing is customized to the developmental level of the client.  Some clients may only do the first step of processing, while other clients are capable of doing much more. 1.      The first step in Processing an incident is to get the client to own up to their own behaviors.  That's literally admitting to having done what problem behaviors resulted in their being separated from the group.  This is best done without evoking feelings of shame and guilt.  Those feelings get in the way of cognitive processing.  In other words, those feelings make it harder to the kid to think about what happened and to learn from it. 2.      The second step in Processing is done with clients who developmentally are able to identify some feelings and/or thoughts that were part of the problem behavior incident.  The goal is the same as step 1 – to get the kid's inner Chief to accept Responsibility for their own behaviors, feelings, and thoughts. 3.      The third step in Processing, to the extent the client is developmentally able, is to help them identify what they could have done differently and what they could do next time a similar situation arises. 4.      The fourth step switches from a focus on personal responsibility to looking at Social Responsibility.  This step involves having the kid identify what impact they think their behaviors had on people around them. 5.      The fifth step moves beyond verbally accepting Responsibility to performing some action related to Relationship Repair.  That might be a simple verbal apology, an apology card, or might be a Restitution such as beautifying a space, doing an extra chore that benefits others, or any other symbolic gesture showing that they want to be a positive member of the group.  Restitution systems can be a powerful structure within a residential treatment program but need to be designed for a general level of consistency.  The basic rationale behind Restitution is that you did something that made it more unpleasant for other people to live and work here; so now do something that makes it more pleasant for others.  This is largely a symbolic action and shouldn't take more than 10 to 15 minutes (in general).  It provides kids with a great sense of closure that an incident has been resolved and that they can get a fresh start. 6.      The sixth step goes even further in holding kids accountable to their living group, by having them review their processing with a group of peers and staff in a Group Explanation.  The main purpose of the group is for the client to publicly accept responsibility for their own problem behaviors and to check the accuracy of their thoughts on how they impacted others.  Two to five peers, who've been coached in some boundaries on giving feedback, then share how they were actually impacted and potentially give some constructive advice.  It takes a certain level of skill to facilitate a Group Explanation group; however, this skill can be learned by any residential staff.  Setting  up a Group Explanation system requires programmatic support so that this extremely powerful intervention is run in a consistent and productive fashion.  If a physical Processing Form is used, that paper can serve as a helpful guide for a client to present at a Group Explanation.  It can work well to have some restriction on privileges in place until a client completes any Relationship Repair / Restitution or Group Explanation expectations.

Why is it essential for you to do your own trauma work while also understanding the impact of collective trauma?   In this episode, I am joined by Thomas Hübl, a renowned teacher, author, and international facilitator whose lifelong work integrates the core insights of the great wisdom traditions and mysticism with the discoveries of science. Together, we will discuss how each person can create attuned and co-regulated relationships that are necessary for being trauma informed.   We talk more on:  Attachment's role in our emotional responses as adults The impact of intergenerational and ancestral trauma on attachment  Strategies to stay regulated and connected in relationships Moving from distancing behaviors to being fully present in relationships The role of flow, stagnation and embodied practices in attachments And more!   For more information and links for this episode, please visit our website: https://biologyoftrauma.com/biology-of-trauma-podcast/

We all carry parts of ourselves that we hide away, aspects that we deem too dark, too shameful, or too unacceptable to let into the light. But what if embracing those shadows was the key to becoming truly whole? Today, we're diving into the transformative work of shadow integration.This episode of the Sedona Soul Sisters Show, hosted by Christel focuses on the transformative practice of shadow work, a process of acknowledging, accepting, and integrating parts of ourselves that we often keep hidden. Shadow work aims to shine a light on suppressed, disowned, and repressed aspects of our psyche, fostering self-honesty and courage to face our flaws and darker impulses without judgment. By embracing and integrating these shadow aspects, individuals can achieve greater authenticity, self-acceptance, and reclaim blocked power and energy. The episode also covers the popularization of shadow work through Carl Jung's psychology, its application in personal development and healing, and practical techniques for engaging in shadow work, including personal anecdotes to illustrate the process's deeply transformative power. Christel emphasizes the importance of approaching shadow work with compassion and warns against starting this inner journey during periods of significant despair or self-criticism. Are you ready for a personalized Rites of Passage with me? The Embody Soul Purpose Series focuses on integrating parts of you that were lost along the way, in a soul retrieval process and activation of all 7 main chakras (energy centers).

Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors don't have to define us. This is an important thing to remember for adults dealing with professional burnout and compassion fatigue; and it's also important to model for kids.When school discipline focuses on punitive measures alone, we miss out on opportunities to teach kids how to manage emotions or repair mistakes. That's why I'm so excited to share this second half of my conversation with Crissy Mombela in “De Facto Leaders” episode 153, where we talk about the importance of debriefing, maintaining safe school communities, and teaching kids how to restore relationships. Crissy Mombela is the Program Director for the REACH initiative through the Partnership for Resilience. She leads the REACH Communities of Practice (CoP). Her work allows her to be a thought partner and leader in the implementation and evaluation of the REACH Initiative, a strategic partnership with the Center for Childhood Resilience at Lurie Children's Hospital, and the support of the Illinois State Board of Education. With over twenty-five years of public education experience as a special education teacher and administrator, Crissy's focus is on developing systems that support connection, innovation, and belonging within school communities. Crissy earned her B.S.Ed. with a concentration in special education from Northern Illinois University and her M.Ed. in Educational Administration from Loyola University. Crissy currently holds an Illinois Professional Educator License for teaching and administration with endorsements for directing special education programs and teaching English Language Learners. In her free time, Crissy enjoys traveling with her family, baking, and scrapbooking.*In this conversation we discuss some sensitive topics relating to traumatic events in schools. In this second half of our conversation, we discuss:✅Why does skipping the debrief after a crisis situation increase the likeliness of compassion fatigue?✅Crisis prevention: How do we take a proactive approach to de-escalation?✅The impact of social-emotional learning for adults: Why it's not just about the kids.✅Restoring a safe community after physical altercations between students.✅Minimizing retraumatization during the debriefing process.✅Teaching relationship repair and the impact it has on the well-being of all parties.✅Why debriefing should be a part of crisis drills.The following resources were mentioned in this episode:The REACH Initiative at the Center for Childhood Resilience (Link here: https://childhoodresilience.org/reach)The Partnership for Resilience (Link here: https://partnership4resilience.org/)Elena Aguilar Coaching Resistance Podcast Series (Link here: https://www.brightmorningteam.com/podcast/coaching-resistance-part-1-what-is-resistance)Neurodiversity Strengths Checklist (Link here: https://literallyausome.com.au/neurodiverity-strengths/)Ladder of Inference TED Ed by Trevor Maber (Link here: https://www.ted.com/talks/trevor_maber_rethinking_thinking/transcript)Reclaiming Youth At Risk (Link here: https://www.amazon.com/Reclaiming-Youth-Risk-Hope-Future/dp/1879639866)The Whole-Brain Child (Link here: https://amzn.to/43d2dNT)National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments (Link here: https://safesupportivelearning.ed.gov/trauma-sensitive-schools-training-package)Conscious Discipline - Bailey (Link here: https://consciousdiscipline.com/free-resources/book-portal/)Relationship, Responsibility, and Regulation (Link here: https://amzn.to/3PjP5Ra)CHAMPS (Link here: https://ancorapublishing.com/product/champs-third-edition/)Hacking School Discipline (Link here: https://amzn.to/4a6ppPY)We Want to Do More Than Survive  (Link here: https://amzn.to/4c6cShg)Other People's Children - Cultural Conflict in the Classroom (Link here: https://www.amazon.com/Other-Peoples-Children-Cultural-Classroom/dp/1595580743)In this episode, I mentioned The School of Clinical Leadership, my program that helps related service providers guide their teams to support students' executive functioning across the day.

Our experiences help shape who we are, but with those experiences come baggage, unconscious patterns, and beliefs that are sometimes hard to shake off.

Now, it's time to address this and we're here to help. Here are the a few common ways you may unintentionally ruin your relationships.

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, listen as we discuss how to start difficult conversations that can guide you on the path to repairing a rift between you and your loved one.“The most powerful way to change is through relationships. The reason we want to have relationships is not because of what they give us, but because of the opportunities they bring us to change, to grow, and to give.” – Michael Berg

"It doesn't matter if it's a husband or a daughter or a son or a friend, any close relationship, the whole crux is that which will make it either close and real or set it back to not really being what it could be is the ability to repair every single relationship that you ever have, including with your child." - Robin Karr-Morse   How do we love our adopted children to help them overcome trauma and create change?   In this episode, we will be talking about parenting children with trauma surrounding their early life experiences, specifically focusing on adoption.

In this episode, we explore the concept of a "therapeutic separation" for couples facing challenges in their marriage.
