It's so easy to get caught up in the "physical" when you are stricken with chronic pain out of nowhere. This is exactly what happened to Adam. Otherwise healthy for his whole life, Adam began having severe pelvic and back pain, and spent years in the frustrating cycle of specialists and failed treatments. In retrospect, Adam can see so many things in his life that he was unconsciously avoiding, key among them facing his social anxiety and "addiction" to the gym for safety. Today, chronic pain free and full of wisdom and perspective, Adam and I unpack it all. You don't have to be a man or a person who's expereinced pelvic pain to get SO MUCH out of this episode.

Social Anxiety Solutions - your journey to social confidence!
In this episode... "Can you be shy… and still feel confident in social situations?"

Topic : Help, I'm Stuck!Topic Detail: Hello, Stefan,My name is [x]. I'm 26 years old and the fourth of five children born to two abusive parents. I moved out over a year ago, and since then, I've been living on my own and listening to your show. Over the past year, I've been processing and grieving my childhood. Your show has been incredibly helpful in identifying the true extent of the abuse I endured, understanding how to apply philosophy to my life, and learning how to be a peaceful parent. The impact it has had on my life is immeasurable.Right now, I find myself doing little outside of going to work. On weekends, I rarely leave my house except to run errands, play basketball at the park, or occasionally hang out in person with my Xbox friends. My biggest struggle at the moment is a porn addiction. Most weekends, I give in to the urge, which completely drains my energy, leaving the next few days as a write-off. This has been a major contributor to my social anxiety and inhibition when talking to women. It has defined my entire adult life.I've mostly DFOO'd, but I haven't truly confronted either of my parents. I feel like I've extracted as much knowledge, wisdom, and insight as I can from my childhood—yet I still think about it every day. And I'm sick of it.A real sense of mortality is setting in. I'm 26, single, and have few good memories to look back on. I do not want to turn 27 and still be in the same place. Life has been passing me by, and I know there's so much more out there. I hope that by talking to you, I can identify the root of my dysfunction and learn to move forward in life with confidence. I thirst for feedback, guidance, and an ally to help dislodge me from this perpetual cycle of self-destruction.Thank you for your time and consideration.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Imani came to the show to talk about America's favorite symptom: anxiety. In the last few months, the anxiety that Imani has suffered since middle school has increased significantly, and she has no idea why. The question is particularly tricky because Imani has much less content than our usual guest. Renée is up for the challenge, though! She investigates, combing through Imani's childhood and adolescence, ultimately separating her functional anxiety from her dysfunctional anxiety, her trauma from her stress, and her physiological symptoms from her psychological symptoms. By the end, Imani has a comprehensive plan for resolving her layers of distress. If you need a refresher course on anxiety, this is the episode for you. Plus, Renée delivers a new chapter of The Rodent Chronicles in the intro!Support the show
What if we're approaching mental health all wrong? A revolutionary new therapy is debunking popular therapy narratives and changing how we treat anxiety and overthinking.We're continuing our Mental Health Awareness Month series with this introduction to Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), a groundbreaking new approach to treating anxiety, overthinking, OCD, depression, panic attacks, and more, without the usual coping strategies and trauma processing.Unlike traditional talk therapy, Metacognitive Therapy helps people break free from the cycle of worry, rumination, and distress by targeting the way we think about our thoughts — not the thoughts themselves.This is an especially exciting topic for me, as I've been working with the team at metacognitivetherapy.com as the Head Of Content for the past year, creating mental health resources including a website, social media channels, an app and a new podcast that's still to come. MCT might just revolutionize how we treat mental health disorders.I'm joined by Clinical Psychologist Sunniva Itland, founder of one of Norway's largest private psychology clinics and co-founder of metacognitivetherapy.com, to unpack this transformative therapy that's changing lives worldwide.This is for anyone who hasn't found a therapy or modality that's really working to improve their mental health. Welcome to anti-therapy therapy.Tune in to hear about:How MCT differs from CBT, talk therapy, and other traditional approaches to anxiety disorders, OCD and depressionSunniva's personal journey overcoming social anxiety using metacognitive therapy approachesWhy trauma-focused and emotion-processing therapies may be keeping you stuckWhy people develop mental health conditions VS othersHow common mental habits like overthinking, symptom monitoring, and reassurance-seeking fuel anxietyRecognizing unhelpful metabeliefs like “worrying keeps me safe” or “I can't control my thoughtsWhy positive affirmations, reframing, mindfulness, and traditional coping strategies often backfireResearch-backed techniques for immediately reducing anxiety, like worry postponement and detached mindfulnessMetacognitive Therapy resources:metacognitivetherapy.comhttps://www.instagram.com/metacognitive_therapy/https://www.linkedin.com/company/metacognitive-therapy/ For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

They dismantle the myth that self-care is selfish, showing how neglecting your own needs can worsen stress and strain the very relationships you cherish.

Funding for this episode was provided by Evernorth Health Services. “If you can do no good, at least do no harm. A lot of the, the things that families don't understand and caregivers is that they're actually doing things that not only they know it doesn't work okay. When they're doing these things, these naggings and lectures and all that, they know it's not working. But what they may not appreciate is it's actually making things worse over time.” ~C.

In 2020, a 30-year-old father of two in the Bronx had an idea. While struggling to establish a music career, John Jaequan Cotton, better known as Jae Tips, took inspiration from the streetwear brands he loved and committed fully to a vision for a personal brand focused on apparel and merch.After building an organic following for his designs, Jae stepped outside of his comfort zone and started knocking on the doors of the people who could help scale his vision. That hustle led to a partnership with an obscure running shoe brand, Saucony, and a series of beloved footwear collaborations that captured the imagination of the sneaker community.But despite critical and cultural acclaim, the harsh economics of streetwear and the crowded footwear landscape mean that Jae still cannot take success for granted.And it all started with one idea…Chapters:0:00 - Intro2:15 - Growing Up / Early Influences4:50 - Dealing with Social Anxiety 6:08 - The Influence of Billionaire Boys Club and BAPE8:10 - Lessons Learned Working at Footlocker9:10 - Music Career / Shifting Focus to Merch13:00 - Opportunities During COVID15:00 - Creating Hats, Sneakers, and Shirts17:55 - Keys to Building Community19:30 - First Sneakers with Saucony24:17 - Balancing Supply & Demand / Marketing27:30 - Aftermarket and Resellers29:00 - Five Year Plan / Managing Growth of the Brand32:40 - Biggest Challenges as an Entrepreneur38:20 - Aspirations / What's Success?40:30 - Leaving ComplexCon Sneaker of the Year Panel43:05 - Turning Adversity into Art
