Are you, like many high achievers, trying to maintain an image of strength and resilience in the face of adversity? I'm Jason Phillips, a Therapist and Confidence Expert, and I've seen this all too often in my clients. It's an unspoken struggle many of us grapple with, but acknowledging and expressing the grief, sadness, depression, and guilt that comes with such a loss is not only okay but necessary. Let's pause and reflect on the importance of emotional honesty in our healing process. We'll discuss the effects of internalized grief and how you can take the first steps towards overcoming it.Moving forward, we'll also address another significant issue high achievers face – anxiety. We'll step into the daunting realm of managing anxiety and building confidence. I'll share practical advice and insights, reminding you that it is okay to ask for professional help if needed. Together, we'll navigate the path of self-affirmation and reassessment of priorities. This episode is not just about shedding light on these unspoken challenges but offering guidance and encouragement to those wrestling with them.

We're back for another Language of Love Session, where I speak to listeners like you and give my expert advice. In this session, I sat down with someone who's been a longtime listener and has been following my advice ever since my days on Oprah. She reached out to me for guidance, and her story is bound to hit close to home for many of us. Picture this: she escaped a five-year marriage that felt more like a chore than a fairytale. But now, she's in a sizzling new relationship, sparks are flying and things are heating up for her in all the right ways. The twist? Her partner's got a case of the “low desire and low testosterone blues” and she's grappling with feelings of rejection and neglect. Together, we explore the complexities of reigniting intimacy and desire. In this episode, you will learn about:  How stress and anxiety can negatively affect sexual desire in men The different physical, emotional, hormonal and medical factors that can create difficulty with male sexual response and sensation Why low desire does not necessarily mean they are no longer attracted to you The importance of having a “cost-benefit analysis” in a long-term relationship How men often dismiss sexual issues because it emasculates them and the steps you can take to address the problem Remember, issues of sexual desire are common in relationships and can be tackled with open communication and professional help.

Title: "Resentment-Free Relationships: Key Insights from Licensed Therapist Tara Schmidt" Introduction: Tara Schmidt, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, joins the podcast to share her wisdom and advice on relationships. The episode explores essential aspects of relationships, focusing on presence, trauma, attachment, and effective communication. The Importance of Presence: Presence is crucial in relationships, as trauma often stems from past wounds. Trauma is defined as emotional wounds that affect our perceptions and responses. Relationship issues often result from individual learnings and past wounds. Staying present helps prevent misunderstandings and reactions triggered by unresolved traumas. Recognizing and Managing Triggers: Emotional reactions can signal underlying trauma or wounding. Slowing down and identifying the root of emotional reactions is essential. Communicating with your partner about your triggers fosters understanding and compassion. Cultivating awareness and self-regulation skills is crucial for managing emotional triggers. Attachment Styles and Their Impact: Secure attachment involves creating a safe environment where individuals can be themselves. Insecure attachment styles, such as anxious and avoidant attachment, result from inconsistent caregiving. Anxious attachment can lead to clinginess and seeking constant reassurance. Avoidant attachment may result in self-sufficiency and emotional distance. Nurturing Safe Attachments: Parents should create emotional safety and support in the home. Safety includes allowing everyone to be themselves without fear of ridicule. Healthy conflict resolution models positive relationship dynamics for children. Balancing authenticity with emotional support promotes secure attachments. Effective Communication: The speaker-listener technique emphasizes active listening and empathy. The listener's role is to understand the speaker's perspective without defensiveness. Suspending one's own narrative temporarily facilitates empathetic listening. Encouraging empathy and understanding in relationships leads to improved communication. Conclusion: Building resentment-free relationships involves presence, trauma recognition, attachment awareness, and empathetic communication. Effective communication requires active listening and suspending one's perspective temporarily. Nurturing safe attachments and emotional support within families is essential for healthy relationships. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becky-smith0/message

On this episode of On the Bright Side, I sit down with my therapist Billie Hall to talk about how to stop focusing on people who have hurt you. I forever am learning from Billie, and I know you all will too! Happy Listening!!

Isabelle and David reflect upon what it was like to experience the Eye to Eye Young Leader's Organizing Institute Conference--in a nutshell, for David, figuring out 20 some odd years ago that his learning style was valuable, and then reclaiming hope after great loss, and for Isabelle, just this past year, feeling like she discovered her home planet in a conference room in Denver. Covering bits about medications, creating neurodivergent-friendly spaces, and masking, David and Isabelle go deep, and also discuss how there should be a "leave no trace" pact between a chair's fabric and your leg. ——Isabelle updates David that she's been on stimulant meds (in extended release form), but would crash at the end of the day, and so her prescriber gave her an immediate release form she could use to help the end of day transitions (bedtime). They are going through schedule puberty as they transition to the kids being in school again but also not being in school yet and she just wants the discomfort to be over. She forgot to take her booster dose today, and it is so obvious to her, she is noticing just how much textures and sensations get to her. David names that it's almost as if she didn't have an accommodation to avoid distraction and wasn't aware how many physical distractions would push through. She is so itchy and uncomfortable and so distracted by physical distractions. This comes up with the right variables. Just a few weeks ago, it was really humid, and David was like “I'm not wearing a shirt or pants” and it was just too much and he didn't want to sit on certain fabrics, doesn't want to sit on something that peels off, why can't we just hold each and just leave each other as we found each other. Then there are other chairs that leave a butt print and so he gets up and wipes the seat off as he gets up. David and Isabelle went to the Eye to Eye Young Leader's Organizing Institute, where train their mentors and gear them up for the coming school year. They attended the portion of the institute designed for allies and former mentors of the program. Isabelle noticed that she found her way to where she needed to go on her first try, which has never happened at a conference before. It felt like reconnected with friends-in-waiting or long lost cousins. There were ample snacks and beverages. It just felt delightful and moving. David describes how this place has a different feeling to it because our nervous system operates differently. We didn't have to get anxious to get where they needed to go. It's this place where we see accommodations everywhere. We get to see both of it. There is no shame in this group of people to spin a fidget spinner, draw, or doodle, and people didn't have to sit in nothingness. And the reason is mattered is that there so many things you normally have to think about, the anxiety level is so high, and halfway through the lecture, all Isabelle wants is a snack, and all she thinks about is the bar that she can't get out of her bag, and then she is opening the notebook, the whole thing is hyper vigilance around how she is presenting. This was like instant unmasking, she didn't have to anxiously ask someone where to go. It's incredible when the task isn't being quiet, but the task is participation. You can eat crinkly snacks! David thinks about culture that we really have, that is a part of being neurodivergent. Any person who has to excuse why they're running late, having an accommodation in school, not wanting to play scrabble—this is a cultural piece, when we see these things as a part of our culture, not our difference, and have them attended to, we feel safer. Oh my goodness, not having to fight for every moment to pay attention, gives us a lot more energy in a lot of ways. Isabelle names that where she has previously felt it were in places or spaces she would co-create. She has felt this before when visiting Poland, where her parents and family are from, and she'd have this sense of home. But this was the first time she had the feeling in a room of other people having the feeling. It's like finding her home planet. Where has this been? I'm so happy it's here! What is this feeling? This is the part of knowing you're all of a sudden part of a group, you're part of a group this world wasn't built for, and you have to do it our way. And when you see hundreds of people not asking permission and not getting in trouble. People were attending to the task with incredible precision, and it's an honor to watch these young people making the world we're going to live in. David went the first time 20 years ago, and it's the first time in his life someone made his learning style feel valuable. In his grad school program, one of his classmates was like “hey, you're talking about ADHD, any interest in starting a program where they take college students with LDs and match them up with middle school students and seeing what happens?” And he gets ready for an interview with David Flink. He was interested in hearing his story but not in an exploitive way. It felt really holding, we'd love to have you be a mentor, come out to Brown university, we'll teach you how to be a mentor. He's at the OI, and David Flink and Marcus Soutra (Eye to Eye co-founders) are standing at the easel with Marcus and dream boarding stuff. Grady (if you hear this, David misses you and you changed his life!) was bouncing a racketball, and David looked around, waiting for him to get in trouble, and he looked around and no one cared. And they're playing catch with this racketball and bouncing it off and playing this elaborate game during this presentation. At the same time we're playing with these racketballs, obviously distracted. Marcus - “does anyone know how to spell benign?” This question usually makes David go small, and the room goes quiet and goes crickets. “All right then” he writes “B” and the number “9.” David realizes: "It's not that we're not paying attention because we're bouncing a ball; we're answering all the questions."  He wasn't trying to hide, and he didn't get 'caught' and noticed he started to shake off the 'just about to be caught doing the thing I'm not supposed to be doing' feeling. He does 20 years with this, traveling around. And then a short while ago, one of the people closest to David, died. The moment he found out his brother was dying, David was talking with Jennifer Kane, saying “I'm done.” He never thought he would see anyone again. This reminded him to have hope in people, and people will surprise you. It started with 27 people sitting around the table, and now there's levels of things and sophistication with apps and fidgets. Coming back and being amazed about how incredible this is. It's like coming face to face with a dragon, but finding out it's friendly, and then having it shrink to a size of a pea and living in your heart. To learn more about Eye to Eye, visit www.eyetoeyenational.org -----Cover Art by: Sol VázquezTechnical Support by: Bobby Richards—————

Free Stuff: https://livemyhappyhealth.com/free Mindset is a funny thing, if you don't intentionally cultivate a growth focused mindset then it's exponentially harder to reach your goals. In fact, if you aren't intentional with your mindset, I can almost guarantee that you won't reach your goals, because mindset is the thing that makes or breaks people. Think about it this way, every goal is only a series of steps, but the difference between those who complete the steps and those who dont isnt a matter of ability, its a matter of mindset. So in that respect, mindset makes or breaks you. This episode is about mantras but its really about cultivating a mindset so strong Arnold Schwarzenegger is jealous.

Why people quit their health journey: Unrealistic expectations. People often start their health journey with unrealistic expectations about how quickly and easily they will see results. When this doesn't happen, they can become discouraged and give up. Lack of time. People who have busy schedules may find it difficult to make time for exercise and healthy eating. Lack of support. It can be helpful to have friends or family members who are also on a health journey, or to join a support group. Without support, it can be easier to give up. Injuries. If someone gets injured while exercising, it can derail their health journey and make it difficult to get back on track. Boredom. If people don't enjoy their workouts or don't have a variety of activities to choose from, they may get bored and give up. Cost. Joining a gym or hiring a personal trainer can be expensive. Lack of motivation. It can be difficult to stay motivated to make healthy choices, especially when there are temptations all around us. Negative self-talk. If people constantly tell themselves that they can't do it or that they're not good enough, it will be harder for them to succeed. Self-sabotage. Some people may actually sabotage their own success by making unhealthy choices, even when they know better. It is important to remember that everyone's health journey is different. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. It is also important to be patient and forgiving of yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. If you slip up, don't beat yourself up about it. Just pick yourself up and keep going. Here are some tips for staying on track with your health journey: Set realistic goals. Don't try to change everything about your lifestyle at once. Start with small changes that you can stick to. Find a workout routine that you enjoy. There are many different types of exercise, so there is something for everyone. Once you find something you like, you are more likely to stick with it. Make healthy eating convenient. Keep healthy snacks and meals on hand so that you have something to eat when you are hungry. Find a support system. Having friends or family members who are also on a health journey can help you stay motivated. You can also join a support group online or in person. Don't give up. Everyone has setbacks from time to time. The important thing is to pick yourself up and keep going. If you are struggling to stay on track with your health journey, don't be afraid to ask for help. Talk to your doctor, a registered dietitian, or a certified personal trainer. They can help you create a plan that is right for you and provide you with the support you need to succeed.

Attachment 'insecurity" is partly a manifestation of unresolved stress patterns in the child and, by extension, the family. Therapists usually think of stress as interpersonal and dyadic, but you can't isolate individuals from context. We talk about context a lot when it comes to attachment - the circumstances or setting which helps to understand a process more deeply. As Sharon Lambert says in today's episode, you can't "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" if you have no boots. Sue Marriott and Sharon Lambert discuss the unconscious bootstraps communities have that cause blame towards those who are struggling. www.therapistuncensored.com/episodes to join our premium Neuronerd community www.therapistuncensored.com/join

We're often told to “be true to ourselves:” to line-up the person we are on the outside with the person we are on the inside. In a word, to be authentic. But what does it really mean to “be who we are,” “get in touch with ourselves,” or to go full new-age “live in alignment with our higher purpose?”In this episode Dr. Rick and Forrest explore what authenticity is, where it comes from, and whether it's actually a good thing to be more authentic. They talk about what we really mean when we use the word “authenticity,” the fragmented nature of the self, and problems with unregulated self expression. They then turn towards how we can include all of ourselves, act from our values, and become at peace with who we are. You can watch this episode on YouTube.Key Topics:0:00: Introduction2:35: How Rick thinks about authenticity6:10: Congruence, presentation, and the difference between honest and good13:45: A personal example of authenticity from Rick and Forrest17:00: Self-disclosure as a factor of intimacy19:45: What parts of ourselves are we being authentic to?23:15: Vulnerability and aspiration28:10: Carl Rogers' idea of the perceived self and the ideal self33:20: Is self-improvement authentic?36:30: Unconditional positive regard, and embodiment40:10: Naming what you're feeling, the vastness of the psyche, and self-honesty46:25: Having a secure environment for aspirational change48:45: Individualism, social roles, and intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation53:05: Archetypes, the shadow, and integration59:20: RecapSupport the Podcast: We're now on Patreon!

The global state of mental health is in decline as more people than ever before report living with chronic mental distress, more people are on psychotropic medications, and more are dying by suicide, not less. Effective therapists are in high demand, yet graduate programs are churning out new therapists who are trained to diagnose and treat the diagnosis rather than the human being. The model and approach clearly aren't working, but the train keeps barreling down the tracks. What are new therapists being taught? This week, I sit down with Hannah and Kate, two women who are in the process of becoming therapists. One in grad school, one just out, they share their reasons for entering the field and what, they are learning, it's going to take to be effective. I'll confess: their compassion and intuition gave me hope that the human being is still the most essential requirement, not the degree.

-What does codependency look like in teen boys? -How can adolescence be a “hot bed” for codependency due to developmental, social, and cultural factors? -What are the long-term consequences of unaddressed codependency in the lives of young men? Welcome to Episode 145! This week, I am joined by Sipan Nazaryan, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, to discuss codependency in teen boys. I for one do not think of teen boys when the word codependency is mentioned, however, Sipan is here to educate us on what codependency looks like in the lives of male teens with their friends, parents, mentors, and romantic interests. We explore Sipan's approach when he notices codependent behavior in his teen boys and how he connects with them, especially those who are resistant to therapy. We take a look at codependency between parents and their teen sons and how it harms their ability to individuate. We conclude with hearing about the long-term consequences of unaddressed codependency in these young men. It's a must-listen!

More on thise week's guest: Sipan Nazaryan, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, graduated from Pepperdine the summer of 2023 with a masters in Clinical Psychology. He has worked under Kent Toussaint at Child & Teen Counseling for his traineeship. Sipan currently is working under Anita Avedian at Anger Management 818 / Avedian Counseling Center for his associateship.  https://childteencounseling.org/  https://angermanagement818.com/  Contact: sipan@counseling-centers.com  Connection Parenting Book Sipan references: https://www.amazon.com/Connection-Parenting-Through-Instead-Coercion/dp/1932279768  More deets on the episode: We begin with hearing Sipan's definition of codependency: an addiction to a specific relationship; where one has difficulty distinguishing where they end and someone else begins. And how does that look in the population Sipan specializes in working with: teen boys? Codependent teen boys often see themselves through the eyes of another; they're perspective is skewed through another's lens; they take in another person's perspective to an extreme; they find purpose in a relationship; they “have to” be with someone in particular; and they lose their friends due to an over-focus on another relationship. On social media, these types of relationships are often referred to as “my twin flame” or “soul mate.”  So what does codependency look like in teen boys (since we don't often expect them to be codependent)? Sipan shares how teen boys are susceptible to codependency since they are in a state attempting to individuate while also susceptible to the influence of their parents, friends, mentors, coaches, etc. This phase of life requires boundary setting and group embeddedness, however, if they struggle to set boundaries or become too embedded in their relationships, they can fall into the grasp of codependency.  And how does Sipan approach working with teen boys, especially those who are resistant to therapy? Sipan acknowledges how this population is often difficult to work with for therapists. Through a series of steps, Sipan connects with his teen client's parents, establishes the teen client's autonomy in therapy, sets boundaries with the parents, and connects with his client through the self-object and timeline activities.  Sipan reflects on how work with teen boys and their parents who were codependent on them. This looks like the parent projecting anxiety onto their son, being hyper-protective of them, and an overall discomfort with their son individuating. Sipan works with the parents by providing psychoeducation to help them connect with their son on a deeper level to avoid always providing instruction or correction to him while lessening their codependent grip.  We end with hearing a message of warning and hope for young men: if their codependency is unaddressed, their relationships are left fragile and lacking stability. With help from therapy, teen boys are able to create strong, stable relationships and can cope with difficulty much better.  Thanks for coming on Sipan! And thank you for listening, my dear listener!
