Have you ever watched someone you care about repeatedly return to a relationship that's clearly hurting them, despite all logic and reason? Or found yourself unable to break free from a partner who alternates between cruel indifference and intoxicating affection? Tony Overbay, LMFT, comprehensively examines all of the factors at play in hopes of shining a light on understanding and ultimately healing from one of psychology's most misunderstood phenomena: trauma bonding. Tony explains how the same mechanisms that kept B.F. Skinner's rats frantically pressing a lever for unpredictable rewards are at work in toxic relationships. He explains the biological "amygdala hijack" that literally shuts down one's ability to think rationally when anxiety strikes and why well-meaning advice like "just don't worry about it" actually makes things worse through psychological reactance. This comprehensive episode covers: The neurological science behind trauma bonding and why it creates addiction-like withdrawal symptoms How childhood experiences shape our relationship with emotions and set us up for unhealthy patterns Why telling someone "don't think about it" guarantees they'll think about it more The critical difference between guilt ("I did something bad") and shame ("I am bad") Practical ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) techniques like expansion and mindfulness The powerful Buddhist salt and water metaphor for managing emotional pain Why no one—not even identical twins—experiences the world exactly as you do How to break the cycle of seeking external validation that keeps you trapped Whether you're personally experiencing a trauma bond, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand why people stay in painful relationships, this episode provides compassionate insight and practical tools for healing. Tony's conversational style makes complex psychological concepts accessible while offering hope that with time, understanding, and the right support, you can reclaim your emotional autonomy and build healthier connections. 00:00 Introduction: The Impact of 'Say Anything' 01:21 Setting the Stage: Understanding Relationship Dynamics 01:50 Who This Episode is For 03:10 Introduction to Trauma Bonding 04:03 Welcome to the Virtual Couch 04:35 Engage with Us: Social Media and Upcoming Events 07:04 The Concept of Trauma Bonding 16:51 The Science Behind Trauma Bonding 21:25 Understanding the Amygdala Hijack 21:49 The Impact of Stress Hormones on the Brain 23:03 The Cycle of Trauma Bonding 24:21 The Ineffectiveness of Well-Meaning Advice 24:59 Psychological Reactance and the White Bear Effect 26:24 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) 28:18 The Concept of Expansion 30:05 Mindfulness and Changing Your Relationship with Thoughts 32:27 Guilt vs. Shame 34:11 Healing from Trauma Bonds 36:45 The Importance of Self-Validation 43:43 Seeking Support and Practicing Mindfulness

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 392 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this conversation, Craig and Peter discuss the evolving landscape of dentistry, emphasizing the importance of community, personal goals, and the transition from clinical practice to business ownership. The discussion highlights the potential for growth and opportunity within the dental field, encouraging dentists to redefine their identities and seek fulfillment beyond traditional roles. They touch on the journey of finding balance between clinical work and personal happiness, the significance of self-inventory, and the need for supportive networks to navigate career transitions.   TAKEAWAYS Dentistry is beautiful. It's like a snowflake. There's a lot of shame around leaving clinical practice. You can be a true dental business owner without picking up a handpiece. Your career as a dentist is tied to your identity. Many dentists feel trapped in their clinical roles. Exploring new skills can reignite passion in dentistry. Authenticity in practice is crucial for personal satisfaction. Community support can significantly impact career fulfillment. Burnout can often be misidentified as a desire to leave clinical work. Self-inventory helps clarify what brings joy and what detracts from it. Delegating tasks can enhance overall job satisfaction. It's important to reassess your career path periodically. Seeking mentorship can guide transitions.

In episode 189 of the Smooth Stones Podcast, I share a powerful tool that I regularly use with my clients - the check-in. I'll guide you on how to perform your own daily or weekly check-ins to assess both your physical and emotional well-being. This involves scanning your body, evaluating your nervous system, and reflecting on your recent experiences. We'll explore essential questions like 'What are your wins?', 'What's working and what's not?', and 'What support do I need?' These steps help you understand your needs and make the necessary changes to aid your healing journey. It's important to recognize that listening to a podcast is helpful, but taking the additional step of working with a coach can provide tailored support. I encourage you to take advantage of my free mini-course on how to stop blaming yourself, especially if you've experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or baby loss. By performing these intentional check-ins, you empower yourself to better navigate grief and create positive shifts in your life.

Have you ever caught yourself sabotaging a good thing—whether it's a relationship, opportunity, weight loss efforts, gym streak, or personal success—without really knowing why? You're not alone. In this deeply personal episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, I open up about my own experiences with self-sabotage and why we often push away the very things we desire. It's not because we don't want health, happiness, or wealth—it's because if you have unhealed childhood wounds, your nervous system is still wired for chaos and control, not peace and safety. *Trigger Warning for anyone who has experienced a miscarriage or loss of a child. I talk about it only regarding the lack of support women receive - and send anyone who has experienced either so much love and healing.  This journey of healing is messy, ongoing, and beautifully unscripted—but the more we understand ourselves, the more we can step into the love, joy, and success we truly deserve.

In a recent episode of the Building Better Habits podcast, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche tackled the important topic of managing anxiety and stress, especially in high-pressure work environments. This episode explores practical strategies for identifying, understanding, and managing anxiety and stress through effective habit-building. Here's a summary of their insightful discussion. Understanding Anxiety and Stress The episode begins by distinguishing between anxiety and stress. While stress is often tied to external pressures like deadlines and performance goals, anxiety is more internal, stemming from uncertainty, fear of the unknown, or persistent worry. Michael explains that anxiety can linger long after a stressful event, manifesting as repetitive thoughts and a heightened sense of vulnerability. For developers and professionals, managing anxiety and stress is crucial. Common triggers include unstable software systems, tight deadlines, or the fear of failure in high-stakes situations like healthcare or public service. Rob emphasizes that while stress can sometimes be motivational, unchecked anxiety drains productivity and can lead to burnout. Building Habits for Managing Anxiety and Stress Both hosts agree that developing habits is key to effectively managing anxiety and stress. Michael shares how he has learned to identify his anxiety triggers and adopt techniques to work through them. One of his strategies is comparing current challenges to past situations, asking himself whether today's circumstances are genuinely different or more threatening. This perspective helps to reduce feelings of overwhelm. Rob suggests daily gratitude journaling as a powerful habit for managing anxiety and stress. Writing down three things you're grateful for each morning can shift your mindset and help you focus on positives rather than uncertainties. Whether it's appreciating a hot cup of coffee, a supportive colleague, or a recent accomplishment, this practice fosters resilience and clarity. Practical Techniques for Managing Anxiety and Stress Michael and Rob also share actionable tips for addressing anxiety and stress: Brain Dumps: Writing down repetitive thoughts or “what-ifs” can provide clarity and relief. Once on paper, those worries become more manageable. Engaging Activities: Reading, listening to music, or diving into an audiobook can help redirect focus and break the cycle of anxious thoughts. Michael advises against passive distractions like TV, which often allow the mind to wander. Reframing the Situation: Asking questions like, “What's the worst that could happen?” or “Has anything truly changed?” can help reframe anxiety and focus on actionable solutions. Grounding in Basics: When overwhelmed, it helps to focus on essential needs—food, shelter, and safety—to remind yourself that you are okay. Seeking Support for Managing Anxiety and Stress Both hosts stress the importance of seeking help when necessary. This might involve talking to friends or family, exploring self-help books, or consulting with a professional therapist. Rob reminds listeners that managing anxiety and stress isn't a sign of weakness but a common struggle shared by many. Michael highlights the value of addressing physiological aspects of anxiety with the help of healthcare professionals. Sometimes, a small medical intervention under the guidance of a doctor can make a significant difference. The Weekly Challenge: Build Gratitude into Your Day To help listeners take actionable steps, Rob concludes the episode with a challenge: Start each morning by listing three things you're grateful for. This habit not only helps in managing anxiety and stress but also fosters a mindset of gratitude and positivity. Over time, it builds resilience and allows you to tackle challenges with a clearer head. Final Thoughts on Managing Anxiety and Stress The Building Better Habits podcast reminds us that while anxiety and stress are inevitable, they are also manageable. Through mindfulness, habit-building, and community support, we can turn anxiety into an opportunity for growth. As Michael eloquently states, “There's always sunshine on the horizon.” By embracing practical habits and reframing challenges, you can take control of your well-being and productivity.

Joe emphasizes that every connection made in recovery is not by accident and that sharing your story is enough to help others draw their own conclusions.In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 12 focuses on carrying the message to others through personal experience.

On this episode of the Customers First Podcast, I reconnect with Angie Robinson, Customers First Regular, dynamic leadership and life coach, as we delve into the critical importance of intentional leadership development. Angie's extensive background in human resources, coupled with her experience of over two decades in corporate settings, has equipped her with unique insights into nurturing impactful leaders. We explore how self-awareness is the cornerstone of effective leadership, encouraging leaders to embark on personal growth before they can inspire and manage their teams. We start our conversation by examining why many leaders often neglect their development amid their team responsibilities. The multitude of roles a leader must juggle frequently pushes self-care and personal growth down the priority list. Angie emphasizes the need to reverse this trend, arguing that only when leaders prioritize their growth can they genuinely impact others. Angie breaks down her framework into actionable steps, the first of which involves setting clear, personalized goals. She insists that effective goal-setting should align with individual aspirations rather than company objectives. By identifying what truly matters to them, leaders can cultivate a sense of ownership and engagement, making it easier to follow through on their intentions. The conversation flows into practical tactics for creating action plans. Angie shares her methodology for cultivating clear, attainable steps while anticipating potential barriers—both external and internal. By visualizing success and detailing the attributes necessary to achieve it, leaders can create robust plans that address professional skills, mindset shifts, and support systems needed for advancement. Lastly, we address the execution phase, affirming that planning is only possible with dedicated action. Angie underscores the importance of regularly revisiting goals and holding oneself accountable through structured check-ins. We discuss methods for tracking progress, celebrating achievements, and adjusting plans as necessary, encouraging leaders to maintain momentum despite life's challenges.

They encourage readers to approach journaling with intention and to take small steps towards personal growth and improvement. The conversation concludes with a reminder to young fathers to embrace their youth and seek support from their community. Takeaways Journaling is a valuable practice for dads, providing a space for self-expression, organization of thoughts, and personal growth. Reading is essential for children's development, and parents should encourage their reading interests and provide access to books. The decline of reading among children may be attributed to the rise of technology and the lack of exposure to books. Writing by hand activates the motor part of the brain and enhances retention, making it beneficial to journal with pen and paper. Parents can create a reading-friendly environment by having books at home, visiting libraries, and allowing children to choose books based on their interests. Visiting libraries and bookstores can provide insights into children's interests and spark conversations. Modeling reading behavior and engaging in storytelling with children can foster their love for reading. Approach journaling with intention and take small steps towards personal growth. Embrace your youth as a young father and seek support from your community.

Mainstream parenting narratives often create narrow expectations and can lead to feelings of inadequacy and frustration. It is important to disrupt these narratives and find parenting approaches that align with individual values and circumstances. Open communication and collaboration between partners are crucial in parenting. It is important to have conversations about expectations, roles, and values before a baby's arrival to avoid conflicts and resentment. Western cultures lack adequate training and support for parents, leading to feelings of isolation and overwhelm. Building a community-based approach to parenting can provide the necessary support and guidance for new parents. Babies are highly sensitive to their caregivers' emotional states, and tuning into their needs and emotions can create a strong and nurturing parent-child bond. New parents need support and reassurance from a community or village-like network. Seeking support and validation from others is important to counteract the narrative that parents should cope independently. Breaking generational cycles is a process that involves bending the cycle rather than completely breaking it. _______________________________________ Want to work with Jeremy?
