Podcasts about self soothing

In this episode, we unpack the difference between self-care and self-soothing—what they really mean, how they show up in everyday life, and why the two often get confused. We also share healthier alternatives and practical ways to care for yourself beyond quick fixes.

You've probably heard the terms emotional self-regulation and dysregulated nervous system. They're everywhere right now, and for good reason. But I want to make sure we're all on the same page about what dysregulation actually looks like when it's happening to you, in your body, on a Tuesday afternoon. That's what I'm getting into on this episode of The Terri Cole Show. How dysregulation presents in real life, and a few of my favorite ways to come back to yourself when you're stuck there.

Distress Tolerance Pt. 2: Self-Soothing & Radical AcceptanceThis week on a very special episode of Friendless, we're continuing our exploration of Distress Tolerance skills as the DBT mini-season hits the halfway mark!STOP and TIPP — last week's skills — are built for acute crisis moments. This episode is for the other kind of hard: the slow burn, the ongoing grief, the situations you can't fix right now and just have to live with anyway. Two major skills today: self-soothing and radical acceptance.Self-Soothing is about giving your nervous system what it needs to feel safer — not by fixing the thing, not by numbing out, but through sensory input that tells your body it's okay right now. James breaks down what this looks like across all five senses, shares what's in his self-soothing kit, and makes a case for building your own before you need it.Radical Acceptance is probably the hardest skill in DBT. It's also, in James's experience, the most transformative. This is the practice of accepting reality as it is — fully, completely, without the layer of this shouldn't be happening — and why that's not the same thing as approval, defeat, or giving up. James draws on a deeply personal story about his divorce to show what it actually looks like when you finally stop fighting what is.In this episode:• Why stop and tip aren't enough for the slow burn — and what is• The DBT distinction between pain (unavoidable) and suffering (optional)• What self-soothing actually is — and what it isn't• A sensory breakdown of self-soothing tools across all five senses• What James carries in his self-soothing kit and why• The most common misunderstanding of radical acceptance• A personal story about divorce, gaslighting, and the moment reality finally shifted• Why radical acceptance is a practice, not a one-time decision• A short guided practice for both skillsConnect with Friendless:• Email: friendlesspod@gmail.com• Instagram: @friendlesspod• TikTok: @friendlesspodCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastr

A conversation with Damian Andrews of SHAIR.Care Podcast (Australia) in 2023.What's a “Russian Doll” (or is it called a Babushka) got to do with Sex, Porn, Love Addiction?I thought you would never ask!“I haven't bought into that nonsense “Big boys don't cry”, when I was growing up”. At least, I don't think so”!That guy called John Bowlby in the 1940's dared to put together some suppositions that I didn't like. How dare he put me in a box and think that he knows me. Yet, “Oh my goodness, that stuff he is talking about me; describes me. I don't like this. Anyway, I am a complex being made by God and only Sigmund Freud can unravel the complexities of me”. (This was my coping strategy that I used to avoid getting penetrated and having to go and see those busy-body counsellors and tell them about my growing up stuff, so they could sort me out).The inner child was curled up deep inside the Russian Doll, with layers of protection, to avoid people that I give my heart to, hurting me again. "Big boys don't cry". Therefore, grown up boys absolutely cannot cry. A man's man get's up, stop crying and whimpering and gets on with it. Stiff British lip stuff. (PS: Is that the upper or lower lip that is stiff. I always wondered!)What is the framework and straight jacket which society (which is us) has given men? Is it the right fit? If it isn't, how do we break out and re-invent ourselves?What baton? What generational/family script has been handed on to each of us?What is masculinity? What does it mean? Is it controversial to even ask the question? Too dangerous for me to even dare to begin to offer a 'take'. What does that mean for a progressive society?More questions than answers in this episode.Get some help from The Kairos Centre.

Day 5: Nurture at the Root — Safety, Stability, and the First Chakra What if growth didn't require more effort—but more safety? In this Day 5 episode, we explore how true transformation depends on nurture at the most foundational level: the body. We dive into the first chakra as the energetic and neurological root of belonging, regulation, and sustainable change. You'll learn how the arc of growth bends downward before it rises, why the nervous system must feel safe before transformation can last, and how nurture is not a luxury—but a biological requirement for integration. This episode invites you to slow down, settle in, and discover how grounding practices, embodied care, and root-level safety create the conditions for real, lasting evolution. Because nothing meaningful grows without roots. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES This week on The Daily Meditation Podcast, we're beginning a special 7-day meditation series designed to help you gently release emotional buildup and reconnect with a sense of calm, clarity, and inner balance. So many of us move through our days carrying emotions we never had time to process — lingering stress, emotional fatigue, or subtle tension that quietly accumulates. This series offers a supportive pause, giving your nervous system space to settle and your emotional world room to reset. Each day, you'll be guided through a short meditation with a specific emotional focus, following a gentle daily arc that builds naturally across the week. We'll move from releasing emotional residue, to resting and grounding the nervous system, to creating emotional boundaries, self-soothing, restoring balance, and finally embodying calm presence. You don't need to prepare, analyze, or do anything extra. Simply listening each day is enough. Each meditation stands on its own, while also supporting a deeper sense of emotional ease as the week unfolds. Whether you listen to one episode or join us for the full 7-day journey, this series is an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself. This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "Emotional Reset: Your 7-Day Plan," episodes 3430-3436. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: "The Gentle Reset Challenge" Pause once daily. Hand on heart. Name the emotion. No fixing. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Release Emotional Residue Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I allow my emotions to move through me with ease and compassion."

BPD Hypersexuality Is Self-Soothing And You are The BandageIn this episode, we explore the misunderstood and often painful dynamic of Borderline hypersexuality—not as “promiscuity,” not as a moral failure, but as an attempt to self-soothe overwhelming internal distress. I walk you through why so many people with BPD turn to sexual intensity to regulate shame, emptiness, terror of abandonment, and the desperate need to feel momentarily wanted or alive.You'll learn how hypersexual behaviour becomes a survival strategy, not a genuine expression of love or intimacy—and why partners often confuse this intensity for connection. We'll look at the underlying trauma, dysregulated attachment, and the fragmented self that drive this behaviour, and how these patterns affect those who love someone with untreated BPD.This episode is especially helpful for codependents, survivors of BPD relationships, and anyone trying to make sense of why sexual intensity felt fused to love, validation, or bonding—only to later feel discarded, confused, or emotionally injured. With compassion and clarity, we break down the psychological mechanisms at play so you can understand what happened, reclaim your sense of reality, and begin healing from the confusion of trauma-bonded intimacy.https://ajmahari.ca/sessions - Sessionshttps://ajmahari.ca/podcasts - Podcastshttps://ajmahari.com - Online Store new Course Modules coming soonhttps://survivingbpdrelationshipbreakup.com - This podcast and my YoutubeThis podcast is ranked in the Top 100 Relationships Podcasts on feedspot.com at:100 Best Relationship Podcasts You Must Follow in 2025Million Podcasts has ranked this podcast in the top 60 Codependency Podcasts,the top 100 Narcissistic Abuse Podcasts and the top 100 in their Toxic RelationshipPodcast lists.https://www.millionpodcasts.com/codependency-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/narcissistic-abuse-podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/toxic-relationship-podcasts/

Last week's meditation focused on ascension and recognizing ourselves as light beings in bodies being light in the physical realm, rather than physical beings in a dense world trying to find the light. One key to this is leaning into your inner feminine, which is the receptor of light and connector with the subtle realms. Living from the feminine is key to living in communion with Source – and then the inner feminine and masculine can synchronize to bring the light into the world through your actions. (We'll focus on the masculine side next week.) Listen to this healing meditation to tap into the channel of your inner feminine to commune with source energy, receiving divine light and whatever is waiting to infuse into your conscious body.

This earth plane is a place of great beauty and light, and it also contains immense darkness. The human body is also a vessel of great beauty and light, and it can be dense and contain shadows and blind spots. As the consciousness of our world rapidly evolves, we are faced with an overwhelming number of choices to make on a daily basis - not just about day-to-day activities, but about where our values and loyalties truly lie. What do you believe in? Who are you? How do you want to align your consciousness to ascend to a state of unity? Living in a state of unity means you identify more as a soul/light being with a body than a body that might have a soul or spiritual connection somewhere. It means living with a deep inner knowing of your core light connection with Source above all else. Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle for a transformative experience.

Self-pity is one of the most overlooked emotions we experience, and one of the most powerful. It doesn't stomp in and throw a tantrum. It shows up quietly, as I have to, I deserve this, or no one ever includes me. And because it feels true, we don't even question it. We just… sabotage ourselves. In this episode of the Total Health in Midlife podcast, I'm sharing a deeply personal moment that pulled back the curtain on my own self-pity spiral—and how it almost derailed my day (and my health habits) before I realized what was happening. We'll explore how this hidden emotion can show up in your thoughts, your food choices, and even your relationship with exercise and rest. If you've ever felt stuck in your routines, quietly resentful of your habits, or unsure why you keep “treating yourself” in ways that don't actually feel good… you'll want to listen all the way through. This might be the clarity you didn't know you needed.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why self-pity is so sneaky—and how to spot it How victim thinking shows up in everyday health habits like eating and exercise A simple mindset shift that restores your sense of agency without judgment     RESOURCES The 8 Basic Habits Healthy People Do (Guide + Checklist) The Total Health in Midlife Listener's Guide Episode 159: Fault vs Responsibility   Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/245

This solo episode tackles the familiar feeling of wanting to self-soothe with spending - those moments when you're hurtling toward an "I need a little treat" purchase. I'm sharing 10 practical alternatives that combine behavioural redirects (techniques to help you move through the urge) and behavioural replacements (activities to focus on instead). Whether you're stress shopping, doom scrolling into purchases, or feeling that "fuck it, I'm just gonna order it" moment, this episode provides a toolkit to intercept those spending runways before they take off. The goal isn't to never spend again, but to regain control when your decisions don't feel like your own. Key takeaways Learn to identify and name the emotions driving your spending urges Use movement and physical activity to shift your mental state Apply the "Tomorrow Rule" with positive, permission-focused language Channel creativity and use what you already own instead of buying new Create pause points between feeling the urge and taking action Build visual anchors that connect you to your bigger financial goals Replace the "see-want-buy" cycle with healthier behavioural patterns Complete small satisfying tasks to get dopamine hits without spending Understand that strong feelings don't equal facts about what you need Mentioned in this episode: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/241038/microwave-chocolate-mug-cake/ Where to find me: Website: https://thebrokegeneration.com/?v=518f4a738816 Instagram: https://instagram.com/the.brokegeneration TikTok: @the.brokegeneration Order my book, Good with Money! https://amzn.to/4jnBupb **Sign up to The Glue: **the weekly money psychology and mindset newsletter www.thebrokegeneration.com/subscribe See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How can I learn to self-soothe when I get anxious and I'm terrified of my body or my thoughts?Well ... while it might seem like launching into a soothing technique designed to control the fight or flight response is a good idea, this week Josh and Drew are talking about why the concept of self-soothing doesn't automatically make sense in the context of anxiety disorders.Self-soothing, supporting yourself while you naturally work through difficult moments and experiences, is awesome. There are a few excellent examples in this episode of what that might look like (including a reference to Josh in a cozy onesie), but when we feel like we must immediately escape from feelings inside us because we are in what feels like an urgent situation, self-soothing can be counterproductive.If you're struggling with the idea that you should be learning how to forcibly soothe your anxiety and frustrated because you can't find ways to reliably or consistently do this on demand, this episode is worth a listen ... even if it took us almost 30 minutes to mention crying, which is one of the greatest organic natural soothing responses of all time. ---Disordered Roundtables are here!

Join Thais and Mike as they break down the key signs of healing, such as the avoidant's gradual reconnection with their emotions and body. They discuss practical tools and strategies for avoidants, like journaling, meditation, and mindfulness practices, to help them process suppressed feelings and reduce their instinct to avoid vulnerability. The episode also explores the common misconception that avoidants are emotionless, revealing how they often numb themselves rather than confront their inner experiences. The hosts share personal stories and provide real-life examples, including a powerful analogy comparing emotions to a "check engine light," signaling unmet needs. They offer insights on how avoidants can begin to recognize these signals and respond with self-care rather than avoidance. The conversation highlights the importance of routines, physical activity, and reducing technology use to help avoidants stay grounded and connected with their emotions. Listeners will gain actionable advice on how to support a partner with avoidant tendencies, including how to create a safe space for open communication and ways to encourage vulnerability without pressure. This episode is essential for anyone looking to better understand avoidant attachment patterns and support loved ones on their path to healing.

This week, I'm excited to be joined by Dr. Merry C. Lin, a psychologist, and author with over 30 years of clinical expertise. Dr. Lin is an expert on the topics of emotional intelligence, trauma, and self-awareness. She's going to help us understand how our emotions can both guide us and mislead us, and how to develop a healthy relationship with our emotions. We'll also learn about the shadow self, the hidden parts of ourselves that we're often afraid to acknowledge. And we'll explore why our memories are often distorted and incomplete. This is a really important conversation, and I think it will resonate with a lot of people. Episode Links Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!
