Share your thoughtsWhat happens when everything you think defines you is suddenly stripped away? In this episode, Erika Allison Lambro shares her remarkable journey from rejecting her Christian upbringing to embracing an LGBTQ identity, Buddhist spirituality, and activism against the church—only to have it all crumble after a cancer diagnosis at age 40. For 25 years, she distanced herself from her family and faith, even writing a book titled "Gay the Pray Away" challenging the church's stance on sexuality. Yet despite constructing these new identities, something was still missing.The turning point came through cancer—not as something God saved her from, but as what God used to save her life.This conversation offers hope to anyone questioning who they truly are. As Erika puts it: "If you allow your constructed identities to crumble, as scary as it may feel, what you're going to find is an even more solid ground underneath—that you are a child of God." If her story resonates with you, or you feel called to share your testimony through missions as she did in Albania, visit rfwma.org to explore opportunities to serve.Support the showThanks for listening!

Summary  In this episode, Dr. Peter reviews the limitations of current Catholic resources on anger, and then reviews secular resources, including interpersonal neurobiology and the structural theory of dissociation.  We examine the role of the body in anger responses, and discuss more wholistic ways of working constructive with parts that experience anger, rather than trying to dismiss anger, suppress it or distract from it.   Lead-in William Blake, A Poison Tree: I was angry with my friends; I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow.  We've all experienced anger and we've all experienced angry people  We know it's a problem.  And global data suggest that it's getting worse.   Gallup world poll from 2021: 140 countries  Did you experience the following feelings during a lot of the day yesterday? How about anger?  17% of US respondents agreed 26% of women worldwide up from 20% from 10 years ago  20% of men -- flat from 10 years ago.   Harm can come from anger Mark Twain “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”  CCC 2302  By recalling the commandment, "You shall not kill," our Lord asked for peace of heart and denounced murderous anger and hatred as immoral. Anger is a desire for revenge. "To desire vengeance in order to do evil to someone who should be punished is illicit," but it is praiseworthy to impose restitution "to correct vices and maintain justice." If anger reaches the point of a deliberate desire to kill or seriously wound a neighbor, it is gravely against charity; it is a mortal sin. The Lord says, "Everyone who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment."   "Everyone who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment."  And who hasn't been angry -- including Jesus himself?.  We have got to unpack this There is so much misunderstanding about anger in the Catholic world, so much of the way that Catholics have approached anger has been limited, misinformed, and misguided When I think about why the Catholic Church in the US, in Canada, in Europe and Australia, in the entire Western World, there are many factors.   Brandon Vogt  New Stats on Why Young People Leave the Church  based on his book Return:  How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church One critical factor is that cradle Catholics, especially young Catholics do not believe that the Church can help them with their problems.  Diocese of Springfield Exit Surveys (2014)  68% – Spiritual needs not met67% – Lost interest over time Only 7% of Millennials raised Catholic still actively practice their faith today (weekly Mass, pray a few times each week, say their faith is “extremely” or “very” important) 6.5 people leave the Catholic Church for every one that joins 66% of “nones” agree that “religion causes more problems than it solves” That's why so many fall away from the Faith.  The Church doesn't seem relevant to them because she doesn't seem like she has the answers to the real issues they face. 10% of American adults are former Catholics Nearly half of those who fall away from the Church become "nones"  And another quarter become Evangelical Christians.   79% of former Catholics leave the Church before age 23.   50% of Millennials raised Catholic no longer identify as Catholic today  And it's about topics like anger -- we are not doing a good job meeting the needs that Catholics have today, human formation needs.   Intro I am Dr. Peter Malinoski, a.k.a. Dr. Peter, clinical psychologist, trauma therapist, podcaster, blogger, cofounder and president of Souls and Hearts -- but most of all I am a beloved little son of God, a passionate Catholic who wants to help you to taste and see the height and depth and breadth and warmth and the light of the love of God, especially God the Father and  Mary our Mother, our spiritual parents, our primary parents.  To really absorb your identity as a little child of God and Mary.   I want you to enter much more deeply into an intimate, personal, loving relationship with the three Persons of the Trinity and with our Lady. That is what this Interior Integration for Catholics podcast is all about, that is what Souls and Hearts is all about – all about shoring up the natural foundation for the spiritual life of intimacy with God, all about overcoming the natural human formation deficits and obstacles to contemplative union with God our Father and our Lady, our Mother  We are on an adventure of love together. And one thing, one major, big, huge thing that gets in the way of being loved by God and Mary and loving in return is anger.  Anger.   This is Episode 103 of Interior Integration for Catholics.  Interior Integration for Catholics is part of Souls and Hearts, our online outreach, check us out at soulsandhearts.com.   Anger: one of the seven deadly sins, one the lethal vices that can kill your soul.  Anger.   So much confusion about anger.  The Burden of Anger:  June 10, 2021 Catholic-daily-reflections.com The first level of sin is simply to be “angry” interiorly. The sin of anger is an interior attitude of disgust toward another. Jesus says that the consequence of having anger toward another is that you will be “liable to judgment.” Humility.  I could be wrong.    The offerings from Five Catholic writers on anger are a case in point.   The most popular book Fr. T.G. Morrow, Overcoming Sinful Anger  303 Amazon Review, mostly positive, #16  on the list of bestsellers in Catholic Theology, put out by Sophia Press in 2015 And it's not very good.  I can't recommend it.   First off, Fr. Morrow admits that he doesn't understand why people get angry We've all encountered people who explode when they feel angry. It baffles me how often the sort of anger rears its ugly head in marriages – even in allegedly Christian marriages. (p. 9).   I am often surprised to discover Christians who pray ardently, receive the sacraments regularly, we've and attend Mass daily, and yet have an anger problem. (p. 10) Presumes a homogeneous, single personality.   Easy to explain with part.   Why do people explode in anger? There are many reasons, but I think the top three are power and control, a refusal to take responsibility, and habit. (p. 13). Very simplistic view of psychology, and no consideration of neurology, traumatology,  Confusion about the causal chain in anger.  Where anger fits in a sequence of events  Little genuine interest in anger.  Anger is something to essentially get rid of.   Not much consideration of the unconscious and unconscious anger.  Acknowledges that suppressing anger is problematic, but there still is an assumption that if I'm not feeling anger, it's not there.  Disconnect.   "Irrational anger"   Very focused on the will and will training -- naïve assumptions about sympathetic arousal. Nike Spirituality -- Just do it.   Romans 7:15:  I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.   Spiritual Bypassing  Definitions John Welwood: American clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, teacher, and author, known for integrating psychological and spiritual concepts  Using “spiritual ideas, words and practices to sidestep or avoid personal, emotional ‘unfinished business,' to shore up a shaky sense of self, or to belittle basic needs, feelings, psychological wounds and developmental tasks.”  Blogger Rose Hahn:  Spiritual Bypassing: What It Is & How To Avoid It  Bypassing occurs when spiritual ideals get elevated to the realm of absolute truth in such a way that our real, lived experience is somehow denied. Rather than doing the work of healing deep wounds, we may use these ideals to deny, devalue, or avoid meeting our more human needs – such as emotional bonding, love, and esteem. In other words, rather than risk opening ourselves to real human connection, and possibly get hurt, we adopt a more enlightened, spiritual way of relating to the world that doesn't rely on human relationship.  Not a lot from a specifically Catholic perspective, but this is from Katharina, who styles herself "The Bohemian Catholic" We are supposed to uplift each other, and treat each other with love and respect - like icons of Christ, as God's creation… BUT if you find yourself trying to tell someone that their faith should keep them "happy" all the time, then you aren't helping them.  Using spiritual words, spiritual means, spiritual concepts -- all to whitewash or put a Band-Aid on significant psychological or emotional problems in the natural realm  Bypassing the natural realm and going to the spiritual realm.   Essentially saying -- You should not feel this way.  Which is what Fr.

(p. 9).  First, take the time to calm down and figure out why you're angry…. One of the tactics often recommended is to count to ten before deciding what to do. (p. 20).  Better still, say a short prayer before acting. The next step is to ask yourself if your angry feeling is been caused by something significant. Most angry fights in marriage are caused by trifling things. (p. 20).  Or perhaps use humor to make your point.(p. 20).  Offering your angry feeling as a sacrifice is not suppressing it but doing something with it. It is making a bad situation into a beneficial one. That is what it means to embrace the cross. (p. 23-24).  If we can forgive others, we can pull the rug out from beneath our anger most of the time. Unforgiveness is the main culprit behind anger. (p. 25).  … Refocus your thoughts away from the things that made you angry to some very positive thoughts.

When a person angers you, St. Francis advises, consider the person's good qualities rather than the words or actions you find objectionable."

Is it because I'm depressed and trying to stuff that feeling down rather than address it? What am I thinking in that situation? (p. 15).  "We draw this all out on paper, examine what was really behind our emotional response, and then explore ways of thinking that will restructure our reactions and response. And we write these down! Simply thinking about these things isn't going to help. The whole point is to get them out of our head and onto paper so that we can work them out. Consider it an emotional "show your work" kind of exercise." (p. 15).  Then, after a really brief introspective process, we can catch that the real reason for our irritability is our depressed mood, and we can interject coping skills for depression to stave off our irritability. (p. 16).  Changing the focus of our thinking is key when we try to battle against depression and irritability that inevitably rears its ugly head. You've probably heard people suggest keeping a gratitude list to help you feel more positive, much along the same lines as St. Paul's advice. It works. (p. 18).   Steps in the process Visualize yourself from the perspective of compassionate observer.  Notice from the outside whole feelings xare upsetting you and how they are reflected in your appearance.  Try to let the warm feeling of compassion and desire to help arise within you.  Say to yourself: "It is understandable that you feel that way. You are experiencing a natural response to depressing thoughts. But I'm going to help you."  Visualize putting your hand on your shoulder or hugging yourself to soothe and comfort yourself. Give yourself a friendly smile.  Think about if there are other things you want to tell yourself that would energize and encourage you to cheer up.  Taking time to say those things. When you feel it is appropriate, begin saying goodbye to yourself and remind yourself that you come back anytime you want. (p. 16-17). For resentment: Active listening  Tommy Tighe: to fend off resentment, we have to communicate with things are important to us and why. We can't expect our partner to read her mind. We have to tell them the things we value, what things we have grown to expect in relationships because of our past experiences and we have to tell them why.

In the Rhetoric (1991, p. 1380) he defined anger as “a belief that we, or our friends, have been unfairly slighted, which causes in us both painful feelings and a desire or impulse for revenge.” 1907 Catholic Encyclopedia:  Anger:  The desire of vengeance. Its ethical rating depends upon the quality of the vengeance and the quantity of the passion. When these are in conformity with the prescriptions of balanced reason, anger is not a sin. It is rather a praiseworthy thing and justifiable with a proper zeal. It becomes sinful when it is sought to wreak vengeance upon one who has not deserved it, or to a greater extent than it has been deserved, or in conflict with the dispositions of law, or from an improper motive. The sin is then in a general sense mortal as being opposed to justice and charity. It may, however, be venial because the punishment aimed at is but a trifling one or because of lack of full deliberation.  Likewise, anger is sinful when there is an undue vehemence in the passion itself, whether inwardly or outwardly. Ordinarily it is then accounted a venial sin unless the excess be so great as to go counter seriously to the love of God or of one's neighbor.   CCC 2302  By recalling the commandment, "You shall not kill," our Lord asked for peace of heart and denounced murderous anger and hatred as immoral. Anger is a desire for revenge. "To desire vengeance in order to do evil to someone who should be punished is illicit," but it is praiseworthy to impose restitution "to correct vices and maintain justice." If anger reaches the point of a deliberate desire to kill or seriously wound a neighbor, it is gravely against charity; it is a mortal sin. The Lord says, "Everyone who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment."  Contradiction that aggression (or vengeance) and anger have to go together  Lot of research to tease about anger and aggression: Ephesians 4:26:  Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger   APA Dictionary of Psychology: an emotion characterized by tension and hostility arising from frustration, real or imagined injury by another, or perceived injustice. It can manifest itself in behaviors designed to remove the object of the anger (e.g., determined action) or behaviors designed merely to express the emotion (e.g., swearing). Anger is distinct from, but a significant activator of, aggression, which is behavior intended to harm someone or something. Despite their mutually influential relationship, anger is neither necessary nor sufficient for aggression to occur.  Psychologist Paul Ekman. (1999). Basic emotions. In T. Dalgleish & M. J. Power (Eds.), Handbook of cognition and emotion (pp. 45–60). John Wiley & Sons Ltd  Due to its distinct and widely recognizable pattern of face expression, anger has always been included in the repertoire of basic emotions.   Benefits of Anger  Farzaneh Pahlavan Multiple Facets of Anger: Getting Mad or Restoring Justice?  Chapter 3:  The Neurobiology of RAGE and Anger & Psychiatric Implications with a Focus on Depression Daniel J. Guerra1, Valentina Colonnello and Jaak Panksepp As a basic emotion, anger emerges early in life and has a unique adaptive function in motivating, organizing, and regulating behavior. No other emotion can match the consistency and vigor of anger in mobilizing high-level energy and sustaining goal-directed activity. Anger serves a variety of regulatory functions in physiological and psychological processes related to self-defense as well as to interpersonal and societal behaviors. Through socialization processes, it plays an important role in the development of personality and individual differences in responding to environmental challenges, which can be more or less adaptive.  (p. v).   Aristotle:  Aristotle: Nichomachean Ethics: It is easy to fly into a passion – anybody can do that – but to be angry with the right person into the right extent and at the right time and with the right object in the right way – that is not easy, and it is not everyone who can do it  In themselves passions are neither good nor evil. They are morally qualified only to the extent that they effectively engage reason and will….It belongs to the perfection of the moral or human good that the passions be governed by reason. CCC 1767  CCMMP: Catholic-Christian Meta-Model of the Person  DMU Paul Vitz, William Nordling, Paul Craig Titus.    p. (294)  to remain in the virtuous middle ground requires being disposed to a righteous anger that will stand up to injustice, and use a good measure of anger in ways that are corrective of the evil, preventive of further injustice, and indicative of a balance to mean between extremes. Emotions are good when, as reactions antecedent to reasoning, they make us conscious of reality and prepare us for a more complete reaction and moral action. Emotion and choice then serve moral flourishing (e.g., when we have an appropriate spontaneous reaction of anger at injustice). Second, emotions are good as felt reactions that also follow the intellectual evaluation of the situation. Emotions can be expressive of rational decisions. Emotions can thus participate in our life of reason and will (Gondreau, 2013). For example, when we choose to rectify and injustice, a balanced expression of anger can help us to act decisively will being restrained enough that we do not overreact. Through a righteous or just expression of anger, we entered rectify injustice, will finding a just and rational mean between excessively weak or exceedingly strong emotional displays. (p. 650). Emotions are viewed as informing people about their cares and concerns. To prepare the body for action, directing our thoughts to ways that will appropriately address the issues at hand. They can signal and manipulate other people in ways that suit the person's emotional needs (Parrott, 2001). Being disconnected from emotional experience, therefore, means being cut off from adaptive information (Pos et al., 2003). (pp. 650-651). Digression into justification of secular sources Question may arise, "OK, Dr. Peter, as you already noted, anger has been recognized for a long time, going all the way back to Aristotle and way before that in Sacred Scripture.  You emphasize that you are a Catholic psychologist, so why are you even looking at these secular sources like the American Psychological Association? There is a lot about anger in Scripture, in the Church Fathers and the saints about anger in the spiritual life.   Discalced Carmelite Abbott Marc Foley in his excellent book The Context of Holiness: Psychological and Spiritual Reflections on the Life of St. Therese of Lisieux "One…misconception is that the spiritual life is an encapsulated sphere, cloistered from the realities of daily living….we have only one life composed of various dimensions.  Our emotional life, intellectual life, social life, work life, sex life, spiritual life are simple ways of speaking of the different facets of our one life.  (p. 1).  We have one life.  One life.  We don't have a spiritual life that is separate from our emotional life.  We have one life.  If we are angry, that affects our whole life.   The Church herself encourages us to look to all branches of knowledge and glean what is best from them in order to live our one life better.  From the CCC, paragraph 159  "Though faith is above reason, there can never be any real discrepancy between faith and reason. Since the same God who reveals mysteries and infuses faith has bestowed the light of reason on the human mind, God cannot deny himself, nor can truth ever contradict truth." "Consequently, methodical research in all branches of knowledge, provided it is carried out in a truly scientific manner and does not override moral laws, can never conflict with the faith, because the things of the world and the things of faith derive from the same God. The humble and persevering investigator of the secrets of nature is being led, as it were, by the hand of God in spite of himself, for it is God, the conserver of all things, who made them what they are." And from the Vatican II document, the Pastoral Constitution of the Church in the Modern World, paragraph 62 reads:  In pastoral care, sufficient use must be made not only of theological principles, but also of the findings of the secular sciences, especially of psychology and sociology, so that the faithful may be brought to a more adequate and mature life of faith. Remember that we are embodied beings -- we are composites of a soul and a body. The 17th Century Philosopher Rene Descartes' popularized what is called mind-body dualism.  Mind-body dualism is the idea that the body and the mind operate in separate spheres, and neither can be assimilated into the other.  And that is false.  Demonstrably false in a lot of ways, be we so often assume it to be true.  We have one life.   In the last several years we are realizing just how much of our mental life and our psychological well-being is linked in various ways to our neurobiology -- the ways that our nervous systems function.  And the relationship between our embodied brain and our minds is reciprocal -- each affects the other in complex ways that we are just beginning to understand.  In other words, brain chemistry affects our emotional states.  And our emotional states and our behaviors affect brain chemistry.  It's not just our minds and it's not just our bodies and it's not just our souls -- it's all of those, all of what makes me who I am, body, mind, soul, spirit, all of it.   And since Scripture, the Early Church Fathers, the Catechism and so on are silent on neurobiology, neurochemistry, neurophysiology and so many other areas that impact our minds and our well-being, as a Catholic psychologist I am going to look elsewhere, I'm going to look into secular sources.  I just don't think it's reasonable to expect the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops or the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in the Vatican to be experts in these areas -- it's not their calling, it's not their expertise.  St. John of the Cross in his  Prologue of Ascent of Mt. Carmel: "I will not rely on experience or science…[but] I will not neglect whatever possible use I can make of them.  Fr. Marc Foley, OCD : The Context of Holiness:  As St. Thomas wrote of St. Augustine's use of Platonic philosophy in the Summa: "whenever Augustine, who was imbued with the doctrines of the Platonists, found in their teaching anything consistent with the faith, he adopted it and those things which he found contrary to the faith he amended." (ST I, q. 84,a. 5) p.4 And St. Thomas himself drew on so much of Aristotle's thought in his writings, bringing it into his body of work.   Abbot Marc Foley.  In short, we should never swallow the school of thought whole; we should sift the wheat from the chaff, separate truth from falsehood. p.4 We want the best from all sources.   Emphasis on biological processes:   From Heidi Crockett Anger Management with Interpersonal Neurobiology  Discussed Interpersonal Neurobiology at length in  Episode 92 of this podcast Understanding and Healing your Mind through IPNB In interpersonal neurobiology, anger as an emotion is viewed from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience. And cognitive neuroscience states that cognition and emotion are dynamically combined with physical arousal. When anger is induced as an emotion in humans, it can unconsciously affect physiological and neural resources. Affective states of anger are subsequently expressed in the brain as well as the body, and these neural and physiological changes can influence the cognitive processes. Many studies and resources have been expended on studying the emotions of happiness, sadness, and fear, which align with psychopathological states of hypomania, depression, and anxiety. Kathy Steele, Suzette Boon, Onno van der Hart:  Treating Trauma-Related Dissociation: A Practical, Integrative Approach:  Anger is an affect to derived from activation of the sympathetic nervous system, geared to energize the body for maximum effort to fend off perceived danger. Psychologically, it protects from awareness of vulnerability and lack of control, and therefore from shame. And fight mode, we are all primed to perceive cues of danger rather than cues of safety and relational connection. In such a heightened state of arousal, it is easy to misunderstand the intentions of others. (p.332).

Girls also displayed weaker connections between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala. The prefrontal-cortex-amygdala relationship plays an essential role in determining how emotionally reactive we're likely to be to the things that happen to us in our day-to-day life, and how likely we are to perceive these events as stressful or dangerous. Including anger.   Wiring of the brain and nervous system matter -- they matter a lot Brain activation in anger  Distinct Brain Areas involved in Anger versus Punishment during Social Interactions  Olga M.

Guerra1, Valentina Colonnello and Jaak Panksepp Rage emerges when specific environmental stimuli arouse the neural circuitry of the RAGE system. Even if the anger-thoughts and the related expression are modulated and regulated by higher cortico-cognitive areas, the human basic circuitry of anger is still subcortical. Since the early description of rage in decorticated cats (Dusser De Barenne, 1920) and dogs (Rothmann, 1923) and their responses to inoffensive stimuli, it was clear that the rage expression is i) dependent on subcortical areas, i.e. the ancient regions play a crucial role more than the higher neocortical regions; ii) independent of an intact cortex. p. 11  Among the higher limbic regions of this network, the medial nucleus, the basal complex, and central and lateral nuclei of the amygdala play a key role in the modulation of RAGE.  p. 1   All this happens far away from the frontal cortex in the limbic system of your brain.   Kathy Steele, Suzette Boon, Onno van der Hart:  Treating Trauma-Related Dissociation: A Practical, Integrative Approach   Why of Chronic anger.   Anger is the primary emotion of the "fight" defense.  When (parts of) the patient become stuck in this defense, anger becomes chronic.  Thus, the first intervention is safety.  332 As long as a fight reaction remains unresolved, anger will remain chronic. (p.332).  Almost no one seems to understands that anger is a defense against fear and shame.  It's a way of trying to protect oneself.   There are several reasons that anger and hostility become chronic in dissociative patients. First, patients typically have been severely invalidated, ignored, heard, betrayed, and sometimes even tortured over extended periods of time, while helpless to stop it. In itself, this is enough to generate enormous rage in anyone as part of the naturally occurring fight defense. Second, as children, patients often had little to no help in learning how to regulate and appropriately express normal anger, much less how to cope with it. Often it was unacceptable for many patients to express any kind of anger as children, while the adults around them were uncontained and highly destructive with their anger. Others had no limit set on their angry behaviors. (p. 330). Angry dissociative parts are feared and avoided internally by most other parts, particularly those that function in daily life. After all, angry behaviors toward self and others may interfere with functioning in a variety of personal and social ways. An ongoing vicious cycle of rage and shame ensues internally: the more patients avoid their angry and destructive dissociative parts, the angry these parts become, and the more they shame other parts and are shamed by them. (p. 331). … Angry parts have a deep shame and are highly defended against the strong belief that they are very bad. Their defense is reinforced by the shame of patients that such parts of themselves even exist. These parts of the patient are terrified of attachment to the therapist and you the relationship is dangerous, mainly because they are afraid that the therapist will never accept them. (p. 331-332). Whether the anger is part of a fight response or not, it is often a secondary emotion that protects the patient from feelings of sadness, extreme powerlessness, shame, guilt, and loss. (p. 333).  (add grief) Parts of the patient that developed  controlling-punitive strategies will be angry with others to get what they need,  while those that have controlling-caregiving strategies will punish themselves for being angry or having needs. (p. 333).  This is often the case in hostile parts such as those of self-injure or encourage other parts to self-harm, prostitute themselves, abuse drugs or alcohol, or engage in other self-destructive behaviors. They are often stuck in destructive and harmful behaviors that are an "attack self" defense against shame. (p.333). Finally, the rage of the perpetrator is often an embodied experience from which patients cannot yet escape without sufficient realization and further integration. Some dissociative parts imitate perpetrators internally, repeating the family dynamics from the past with other parts in a rather literal way. (p.333). "Getting the anger out" is not really useful, as the problem is that the patient needs to learn how to effectively express anger verbally rather than physically, and in socially appropriate and contained ways, so the patient can be heard by others. It is less the fact that patients express anger, but how they do so and whether that expression allows him to remain grounded in the present, to retain important relationships, and to avoid being self-destructive. (p. 334). Expression of anger is not necessarily therapeutic in itself. It is how (parts of) the patient experience and express it that is important; whether it is within a window of tolerancex in a socially appropriate and safe. Therapist must learn when expression of anger is therapeutic and when containment of anger is more helpful. (p. 334). Working with anger an angry parts (p.335). Take the time to educate the patient as a whole about the functions of anger and angry parts. Although they may seem like "troublemakers," they can be understood as attempting to solve problems with ineffective or insufficient tools.  Encourage all parts of the patient understand, accept, and listen to angry parts, instead of avoiding them.  Make efforts to understand what provokes angry parts. There are many potential triggers.   Not direct quotes Do all parts feel the same way as the angry part?  If not, can those parts listen to and accept angry parts perspective?  Would the angry part be willing to listen to the other internal perspectives?  Invite other parts to watch and listen if possible.  Can set limits with the angry part  the angry part and all parts need to learn that healthy relationships do not include punishment, humiliation, or force  Use titration, helping the person experienced as a small amount of anger will remain grounded in the present   Parts and imitate a perpetrator often literally experience themselves in our experienced by other parts as the actual perpetrator. Thus they understandably induce fear and shame within a patient as a whole, and sometimes fearing the therapist. (p. 345). The functions of perpetrator-imitating parts are (1) protect the patient against threats of the perpetrator, which continue to be experienced as real in the present; (2) defend the patient against unbearable realizations of being helpless and powerless as a child, (3) re-enact traumatic memories from the perspective of the perpetrator, as mentalize by the child; (4) serve as a defense against shame through attacking the patient and avoiding inner experiences of shame; (5) provide an outlet for the patient's disowned sadistic and punitive tendencies; and (6) hold unbearable traumatic memories. (p. 346). Suzette Boon, Kathy Steele, Onno van der Hart 2011 book  Coping with Trauma-Related Dissociation: Skills Training for Patients and Therapists Destructive expressions of anger include persistent revenge fantasies or actions, hurting self or others, "taking it out" on innocent people (or animals), or destruction of property. (p. 265).  Dissociative parts of a person that are stuck in anger may experience this feeling as vehement and overwhelming, often without words. They may have irresistible urges to act aggressively and have great difficulty thinking and reflecting on their feelings before acting. Angry parts have not learned how to experience or express anger and helpful ways. There are two types of anger dissociative parts. The first are parts that are stuck in a defensive fight mode, ready to protect you. Their anger at original injustices may be legitimate and naturally accompanies a tendency to strike out and fight, which is an essential survival strategy. However, such parts have become stuck in anger, unable to experience much else. They rigidly perceived threat and ill-will everywhere and they react with anger and aggression as their only option of response. Although these parts of you may not yet realize it, anger is often a protection against vulnerable feelings of shame, fear, hurt, despair, powerlessness, and loss. The second type of angry part may seem very much like the original perpetrator. They imitate those who hurt them in the past, and they can be experienced internally as the actual perpetrator. This experience can be particularly frightening, disorienting, and shameful. But be assured this is a very common way of dealing with being traumatized. In fact, although these parts may have some similarities to those who hurt you, they also significant differences: they are parts of you as a whole person, who is trying to cope with unresolved traumatic experiences. (p. 267)   Tips for coping with anger (p, 269 to 271) recognize how to make distinctions among the many gradations of anger, from mild irritation to rage, so that you can intervene more rapidly.  Understand your tells around anger, which may include a tight or tense feeling in your body, clenched jaw's or fists, feeling flushed or shaky, breathing heavily, heart racing, a feeling of heat, a surge of energy.  Empathize with her angry parts, recognizing they have very limited coping skills, and very limited vision. They've been shunned by other parts, left alone with their hurt, fear, shame, in isolation. This does not mean you have to accept their impulses toward inappropriate behavior  Once you start feeling some compassion toward these parts you can begin to communicate with them, listening with an intention, with curiosity to understand what lies underneath the anger  Angry parts have a strength, that they could transferred to use and more positive ways  Become more curious about why anger is happening.  Try creative and healthy nonverbal ways of expressing your anger, such as writing, drawing, painting, making a collage  Physical exercise may help as an outlet for the physical energy generated by the physiology of anger  Work on understanding your anger, by reflecting on it, rather than just experiencing it, being immersed in it. You might imagine observing yourself from a distance, and getting curious about why you feel the way you do.  Give yourself a time-out, that is, walk away from the situation if you're getting too angry. Counseling to 10, or even 200 before you say or do something you might regret later.  Calm breathing may help  Listen to each part of you, about what might help that part with anger. You can have in her conversations with parts of yourself about anger and how to express it. Small and safe ways to express anger can be negotiated that are agreeable to all parts of you  Watch safe people in your life and seal they handle their own anger. Do they accept being angry? Are they are respectful and appropriate with her anger? Are there particular strategies that they use that you could practice for yourself?  Healthy anger can get positive strength and energy. It can help you be appropriately assertive, set clear boundaries, and confront wrongs in the world. Anger can pave the way to other emotions, leading to the resolution relational conflicts.  We learn the most common triggers of your anger. Once you learn these triggers, you can be more aware when they occur and more able to prevent an automatic reaction of anger. Establish intercommunication among parts of yourself to recognize triggers and negotiate possible helpful strategies to cope with them rather than just reacting.  You can try allowing yourself to experience just a small amount of anger from another part of yourself: a drop, a teaspoon, 1% or 2%. In exchange you can share with angry parts feelings of calm and safety.  Inner safe spaces can be very helpful for childlike parts that feel terrified   My parts Feisty Part-- defends against shame -- Melancholio.   Good Boy  Challenger  Creative-distracting me.   Closing Mark your calendars.  Next Live Experience of the IIC podcast will be on Friday, January 13, 2023 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern time on Zoom (repeat) -- All about Anger -- dealing with your anger.  Going beyond what books can do.  Experiential exercise.  Links to register have gone out in our emailed Wednesday Reflections.  Can get the link on the IIC landing page as well, SoulsandHearts.com/iic  December 28, 2022  Reflection at soulsandhearts.com/blog  From Rejecting to Embracing Aging Reach out to me Crisis@soulsandhearts.com  Conversation hours:  cell is 317.567.9594 conversation hours 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM Eastern Time Every Tuesday and Thursday.   Resilient Catholic Community -- you do not have to be alone.   Why a deep intimate personal relationship with God our Father, Mary our Mother -- spiritual parents   By claiming our identity as beloved daughters and sons of God the Father and Mary our Mother. Identity is freely given.   How By dealing with the natural level issues we have, the human formation issues we have that have spiritual consequences.  Grace perfects nature  So many spiritual problems have their roots in the natural realm, in human formation.   If this kind of exercise is helpful to you, we have nearly 100 of them in the Resilient Catholics Community.   120 Catholics like you already on board, already on the pilgrimage -- just had 47 apply for the December 2022 cohort, excited to get to know our new applicants.   Closed December 31 -- wait list should be up soon for the June 2023 Cohort.   Get to know your own parts Get to love your own parts If interested, contact me.   Crisis@soulsandhearts.com 317.567.9594 conversation hours 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM Eastern Time Every Tuesday and Thursday.

Ahh, election weekend in Australia.I’m still trying to decide if Labor won or The Liberals lost.What's clear is the country wants change and to move forward.Something I did find interesting is how much more informed the average voter is this election VS the last major election.The impacts of the last few years have certainly made Australians take voting and policy more seriously. (Which is a good thing)But more on that next week…In this episode:○ How does housing affordability affect Australian business owners?○ Green Metal mining - Mining boom 2.0○ What to do if your business can't support your wealth goals?○ How do you evaluate assets against each other to find the best option?If you prefer to listen to us discuss these topics, then check out the podcast on: https://linktr.ee/fullstackbusinessowner—————————WHAT HAPPENEDHousing affordability is at all-time lows in Australia.○ Not enough supply of new housing coming onto the market ○ Cost of building supplies keeps going up○ The government has a vested interest in house prices staying up as it generates a lot of tax revenue All in all, there is pressure coming from all angles pushing house prices up.In the past 2 years, the price of housing has far outpaced incomes.This is a trend that I don't see changing anytime soon…Why is this important to Australian business owners?One of the things that concerns me with housing affordability is that as people spend more of their income on housing, they typically spend less in the economy.This means less spending in businesses, like yours and mine.Which can really slow down the overall economy.However, I see some upside and opportunities that come with this.Something that I don't see anyone really talking about.As capital cities become less affordable, it will drive more people out of capital cities and into major regional areas. (which we are already seeing)Many highly talented workers who are leaving the capital cities are going to be looking for new jobs in those regions or they will have the ability to work from home.Plus they will be spending the money they make in those regional areas.This also means many businesses that were not viable in some regional areas due to population size will start becoming viable.Yep, hipster cafes will start popping up everywhere! I really think we could see regional businesses and the businesses that support the region's boom in the coming years.If your business has the potential to serve those regions or hire those people looking for new opportunities it could be your unfair advantage in the coming years.—————————WHAT HAPPENEDAustralian Mining boom 2.0 on the horizon with MASSIVE demand for “Green” resourcesAustralia is once again the lucky country.Turns out we have HUGE deposits of all the resources needed to take the world green.Yep… all the raw materials needed to build electric cars, solar panels and wind turbines.Demand for these resources is set to 13X in the coming years.I think we take for granted the amount of wealth created for Australia from mining.Much of our country's prosperity in the last 25 years has come from mining.Fun fact...Last financial year alone Australia did $300 Billion in mining exports.This is set to go SUBSTANTIALLY higher with the push to go greenWhy is this important to Australian business owners?Building a business with this type of economic tailwind behind you is a huge push!Nearly all businesses in Australia benefit from this economic backdrop.But.. let's take this a little further.The world is making a big shift towards green and you have the option to ride this wave.Think deeply about this.It’s not just the businesses in mining that benefit from this its the:○ businesses who support resources businesses ○ towns near the mines○ executives who buy new cars or go on more holidays○ businesses building green technology (batteries, solar panels, electric cars)This green shift will grease the wheels of many industries.—————————COMMUNITY QUESTIONWhat would you do if your business is not capable of supporting your wealth goals?In summary, you have to change!That might mean changing your current business or starting a new one. When I was 22 years old, I was a plumber making $100k a year.The problem was that $100k a year was never going to support my family nor give me the time to spend with them.I was terrified to change.I had a good income in a secure job.This build-up of pain eventually became so bad it was more painful to stay the same.I quit my job and went all-in on business, with very little experience.At the beginning of the change, it was a disaster.I lost money and felt like a failure.The number 1 thing that helped me though…Finding people who had done the thing and just modelling them.If your business can’t support your wealth goals, then find business owners in the same space who have achieved this and just start modelling.Shortcut the pain of trial and error by learning from someone who has done it.This is something I still do today!—————————COMMUNITY QUESTIONHow do you evaluate assets against each other to find the best option?First up this is not financial advice and only an opinion.SEEK THE SERVICES OF PROFESSIONALS, as we do not know your personal situation.Something that has changed me recently is how I think about evaluating assets against each other. I used to be very return focused.If I put $1,000 into “X” -vs- “Y”, what would the difference be?And I think many people start with that type of thinking.It's purely about the capital return.Today, I think of it more from a business point of view.What opportunities are best for my “wealth business”It's kind of like this.If you have a marketing agency and an opportunity comes up to buy another marketing agency.It might be a great opportunity because you know how to run that business + have the team and resources to leverage into that deal.However…If an opportunity comes up to buy a logistics business… not so much.Even if the logistics business is super-cheap, it is probably not the deal for you. My point.I'm playing to my strengths and you should too.—————————THOUGHTSWhat are we pondering?CharleyI'm currently in the stage of planning for a 2nd kid.What came as a surprise was the real cost per month, per kid, when you dig into the details.I had estimated it would be about $1,500 per month per kid.(Housing, food, clothing, entertainment, care/education)When I did the maths…It’s closer to $2,500 per kid. (WOW)This is one of those times I am incredibly grateful to be a business owner and have the option to earn more!GrantAfter spending some nights out with his network Grant has some growing concerns for the economy.Not in a “doom or gloom” kinda way.More about him looking to build up some cash reserves to make the most of unique opportunities that might present themselves in the coming year.—————————UPCOMINGNext episode….Be on the lookout for next week's newsletter as I will be covering how business owners will win/lose from the recent election results.I think you might be surprised by how much who is in government affects YOUR business.Episode Highlights:00:00 Welcome to Full Stack Business Owner01:24 How housing affordability affects business owners20:48 Australian Mining boom 2.0.

Notable Quotes and Thoughts: What do you do when you can't see the immediate fruits of your labor? What do you do when your expectations aren't being met? How do you submit to something when it doesn't look like what you thought?Is authority a struggle for you? Can you trust that the system will work?What do you do with someone who is unwilling to accept the compliment? Someone pays for your order at Starbucks. What do you do? Do you pay for the person behind you or do you say thanks and move on? Maybe you give back later, maybe you don't.The practice of leadership goes hand in hand with humility. Leaders always have to lean toward humility. Do you always have to be the smartest person in the room? How do leaders practice humility?explore your motives. Can you go 24 hours without doing something in order to receive accoladesEmpty yourself of your Agenda and controlBecome obedientServant leadership - the least become the greatest. The Book of Luke leans heavily into this idea. The leader is usually the one standing on top of the pile. But that's not what servant leadership looks like.Episode Notes and Links:Sunday Sermon link | https://zumc.squarespace.com/sermons/2022/2/6/the-practice-of-humilityRev.

What have I not asked that I should have asked? – Ask your mentor this question.E. Focus On The Moment1. There is nothing about your past that determines your future2. Right Now is the most important moment you have in your life.F. Move Forward Despite Criticism1. Growth always comes from taking action, and action will always bring some criticism. There is always someone to tell you are wrong.2. To reach your potential, you must do what others, even yourself, believe you cannot do.3. When you take charge of your life, you can cease gaining permission from others to grow!G. A Note For Leaders1. Leaders will always take responsibility for the growth of their organizationsDiscuss the need for leaders to create a culture in their organization where:• Others are ahead of some• Each person is individually challenged• The focus is always forward• The atmosphere is affirming• Creating a place designed to keep people out of their comfort zone• Helping everyone stay excited• Remembering that failure is not their enemy• Keep others growing• A place where change is desired• Growth is modeled and expected.LEAD IT“When you live this law, you will show others the way and they empowerthem to learn it and live it too.”Facilitation Questions OptionsOVERCOME GROWING PAINS(Specific Steps to Amazing Growth)Assess your current environment when it comes to growth answering true or false to these ten statements:1.

Others growing9. People desire change10. Growth is modeled and expected.If you answered false to five or more of these, your environment may be lowering your growth.

Do you really know your target audience? On this week's episode of the Scale to Seven® podcast, I talk about how you can go beyond the facade and understand your target audience on a deeper level. Learning about their demographics isn't enough. You might also be figuring out their psychographics (values, attitudes, pain points, desires) or behaviors (where they hang out, what they like to do, their hobbies, their daily routine). But again, is this enough if you want to change their lives? You need to understand how they are thinking, before you try to sell them anything. Buyers are liars, but not necessarily intentionally. "To understand what you need to tell your audience, you must first understand what they are telling themselves. Many people are telling themselves a story - a story that may not even necessarily be true." - Kathryn Binkley #scaletoseven For example, a potential client might say, "I'm going to try doing this on my own". A typical entrepreneur might try to sell them something and explain how it'll get them results faster. Meanwhile, the prospect is doubting whether the result is even possible for them at all and is feeling afraid to waste an investment. "It's your job to know what your audience is thinking. You need to become a mind reader. Mind readers change lives. Knowing what your audience is actually thinking will help them get out of their own way and start getting results." - Kathryn Binkley #scaletoseven Do your research. Talk to your audience, put yourself in their shoes and plan ahead to really understand what they may be thinking. You need to focus on the very next step - what's the smallest next step that you want them to take? It's just clicking on an ad, just opting in, just reading the page... Here are 5 things you need to understand about your target audience before you can ask them to do anything: 1. Current Situation Where are they now? What's their current situation?  2. Thoughts What are they telling themselves? What are their fears? doubts? What do they need to think to move forward? 3. Feelings How do they feel now? How do they need to feel to take action? How do they want to feel? 4. Actions What are they currently doing (or not doing)? What actions do they need to take? 5. Results What are their current results? What results do they want? What results can they expect? What's possible for them? You can change lives and make a difference by looking behind the curtains and reading between the lines. Knowing your target audience at a deeper level is how you can get them to take action. Let's Connect See all that Kathryn has to offer at kathrynbinkley.com Connect more with Kathryn on Instagram!

How important it is to be aware of our thoughtsWhat causes our feelingsHow to redirect your brain to feel better

I am fired up about this episode because just this week I had not one, but two clients break the no contact rule and they reached out to their exes. It happens to the best of us. And really, falling off the wagon at some point is going to happen to all of us. Healing your heart isn’t easy, and at some point, we all slip up and go back to what is familiar. The key is to be on to ourselves and be aware of the thoughts that cause us to take the actions we do. In this episode, I detail what happened with my clients, how I coached them to identify why they wanted to reach out to their exes in the first place, and how they move through this in order to continue healing their hearts.This is just some of the work that I do with my clients in my one-year coaching program, Stop Wanting Him Back and Find Someone Better. This work is hard, and in order to truly heal your heart and find someone better, you need a coach that will be on to your thoughts, see your blindspots, and call you out, with love, when you veer off track. If you are looking to stop wanting Mr. or Ms. Wrong back, fall in love with yourself, and be with your ideal partner, I invite you to apply to the program here: https://course.clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/Topics In This EpisodeWhy cutting contact is the most crucial step in healing your heart Ending the judgement you have for the actions you takeThe action is neutral. The meaning they want to make of it, is a different storyExamining what are you telling yourself in order to feel better about falling off the wagonCultivating true awareness of our thoughtsWhat you’re giving up if you won’t cut contact Slowing down when we’re triggered False validation PLEASE NOTE: Claire refers to her exes and the listener’s ex as a “he,” based on her own personal experience as a heterosexual female, but this work can be applied to ANYONE going through heartbreak. ALL genders and sexual orientations are encouraged to listen and apply Claire’s tools into their own lives!Editing and show notes by Roth Media

Today's Episode:Today's Minisode Cover's Dr. Chris Willard's exercise "Take A Mindful SEAT". His website is:http://drchristopherwillard.com/ Mindful's Article on the Exercise: https://www.mindful.org/helping-children-take-a-mindful-seat-to-calm-down/ A WALK-THROUGH OF THE EXERCISE:1). We will begin as we do all Mindfulness meditation practices by sitting comfortably and focus on our breathing; Dr. Willard says if you need to, take a few deep, calming breaths, to quell the immediate sense of anxiety. When you are ready, you will then check in with yourself by using SEAT. S.E.A.T. 2.) S is for Senses and SensationsStart by checking in with your body. What information are you getting through your five senses, and what information are any sensations in your body giving you right now?3.) E is for EmotionsWhat emotions are present in this very moment?4) A is for ActionsWhat do you feel like doing in this moment? Any urges or impulses to action?5) T is for ThoughtsWhat thoughts are present in this moment?You can walk through these mentally or if it would help, you can write down a few words or even draw some pictures to describe what’s happening in each part of the mindful SEAT. Sometimes, just putting it to paper can feel like a great release and you might start getting a new perspective on the issue or situation.

What’s the one thing that is constantly taking place within our mind and is affecting our emotions?Our thoughts…We voice our thoughts through talking to ourselves. That voice has certain qualities, that voice carries certain messages. That conversation, we call it self-talk or inner dialogue.When it comes to our emotions, we need to understand that we have a choice. Yes, emotions and thoughts can pass through our mind very quickly. There is not much we can do about that event. But there is plenty that we can do afterwards.In this episode we are going to talk about:The effects of negative self-talk in your psychologyThe 2 elements that affect the quality of our emotions and thoughtsWhat you need to give to yourself in order to look after your well-beingHow to control your consciousness and direct it towards a more positive dialogueOur inner self at times is like a kid that fell and scraped its knees. Let’s give ourselves the gift of warmth, love and support. Encourage our self to move on, to forget, to smile. And finally to go out and play once again.You can now find the podcast on iTunes, Spotify andGoogle Podcast0:07 How you use your voice and what you tell yourself0:35 Intro1:16 How we experience the world,1:42 NLP and Auditory Sub-modalities (Pace, Tone)3:04 Tone carries meaning3:07 Message and Tone3:19 Change the message or the tone and change your emotions4:17 Spiral of negative self-talk5:10 Cause & Effect5:23 The Kettle analogy5:53 Thoughts and emotions are chains7:01 The Roller Coaster effect7:55 Become more aware of your internal voice8:58 Thank yourself9:15 Give yourself a new direction9:37 Smashing windows11:25 Start somewhere12:20 What is the message this thing is trying to tell me?12:54 Thanking yourself for being aware13:12 What emotions do you rather have?13:24 Give yourself what you need, look after your well-being13:49 How would you speak to someone you are supporting?13:56 Identify what is but focus on what you want15:14 To summarise the process (Awareness, Thanks, New direction)16:18 In conclusion18:15 Confucius Quote18:25 Need help?18:39 End of season 119:07 Outro

So without further ado, let's get on with today's Podcast The first thing we need to talk about is our real honest thoughts on the new Montana 700 range.Then we are going to have a quick update about Chris, the coast walker who was on our podcast 41Then we have Ian's FAQ's, the frequently asked questions Ian's been asked whilst supporting our customers 1 – So, Ian, we have representatives or people looking over our shoulders, lets have a good honest chat about the Garmin Montana 700 Montana 700/ 700i and 750iIan's thoughtsWhat you likeWhat you don't likeTopo Pro 1:25k map card – 700i and 750i (city navigator and map card) – thanks to everybody for their patience.

I don't want to hijack you piece Ian, but I have found a great App for the iPhone (and I suspect works on Android phones) that ties in with my Garmin Fenix watch – Calorie Counter + I know this sounds a bit naff, but let me explain. It's a tad geeky but it's great seeing how your exercise offsets the calories you have ate/ drank during each day Now back to what we should have been talking about – Ian's FAQ's Garmin Should I use the Battery Save option or not? My personal opinion………. The features that use most battery power are Screen brightness level Frequency of use Backlight set to be on for more than 30 seconds Coupled with using good quality Lithium or NiMH rechargeable batteries (minimum 2500mAh), will give you a good day's worth of use out of them without needing to have the Battery Save on provided the other features above are set. The advantage in not having the Battery Save on is that you just need to tap the screen/press a button for the backlight to come back on if needed. The screen is so good that you can still see the map with the backlight off. Satmap How do I remove routes that show on my map screen and clutter up the screen?

Ms. Berlin: Tabletop D&D exercise     Blumira is hiring https://www.blumira.com/career/lead-backend-engineer/  Allan Friedman - Director of Cybersecurity Initiatives, NTIA, US Department of Commerce   NTIA.gov - National Telecommunications and Information Administration   https://www.ntia.gov/sbom  SBOM guidance   Healthcare SBOM PoC - https://www.ntia.gov/files/ntia/publications/ntia_sbom_healthcare_poc_report_2019_1001.pdf   Allan’s talk at Bsides San Francisco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j1KYLfklMQ Questions (more may be added during the show, depending on answers given) What is NTIA? What is SBOM? Why do we need one? Is it poor communications between vendors?  Is there any difference between “Software transparency” and “Software bill of materials”?   How do you make an SBOM? What data formats make sharing easier? What does a company do with an SBOM?   Where in the development (hardware or software) would you be creating an SBOM?   You mention in your BSSF talk about ‘how detailed it should be’. Can you give us an example of a high level SBOM, versus a more detailed one? Does it become a risk/reward effort concerning detail?   IoT device creators are working with their 3rd parties, who are working with their 3rd parties. Someone at home with a webcam cannot easily ask for an SBOM, so how do we convince device makers to want to ask for them?   How do you get your 3rd party that is a multi-national corporation to supply you with the information you need to ?   As we saw with RIPPLE20, many companies don’t know what they have. How would SBOM help keep another RIPPLE20 from happening?   Rob Graham’s blog post highlighted that vulns like HeartBleed would not have been stopped.      How does this help us track potential vulns?    Sharing information     Best way to share information about IoT components?    Could an information sharing org (ISAC) track these more readily?   vendor assessments:     Vendor does not have an SBOM, any specific questions we might ask that will allow an org to get more resolution into a potential vendor?   Interesting feedback from NTIA’s RFC   Other SBOM types (clonedx, openbom, FDA’s CBOM)   Companies are out there creating SBOM, other government agencies have SBOM implementations. How do we keep this from being the XKCD “927” issue? https://xkcd.com/927/   non-US implementations of SBOM?   How do we get our companies to implement these?    SBOM could easily be something that could give hackers a lot of information about your org and depending on the information contained, I could see why you might not want to get super specific… Thoughts?

Have you ever wondered what it's like to work with me? Have you listened to the podcast and thought about the kind of transformation you could experience if you hired a sex coach? In this episode, I bring on one of my clients, Lindsay Dotzlaf, to discuss her experience of working with me, and the changes she's gone through since hiring me to work with. I have many clients who come to me even when they are happy with their sex life, and this applied to Lindsay as well. She was having ok sex, but after hearing me talk, she knew it could be better. In our conversation, she shares the observations she was able to make about her sex life, the changes she implemented, and how her life has improved overall now that she is a more pleasured woman. Topics in this episode:What compelled Lindsay to reach out for coachingSex was an item on the to-do list and breaking out of that mindsetTaking away time from your business to work on something that was fine to begin withBeing resistant to scheduling sexDiscovering some undercover thoughtsWhat if this is something I want, just because I want it just for me?The play of pleasure, despite discomfortLindsay's Contact Information:Website: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LDotzCoaching/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf/It's been my absolute pleasure some of my client's insights and changes she's gone through, and I hope it helps you find your own changes in your own sex life. I think so often you hear me talking about these concepts, but there's a difference between hearing this information and actually working with someone on this. Integrating this into your own life can be amazing and transformative. If you are interested in taking this work further and deeper, and you know I'm the person you want to work with, go to http://daniellesavory.com/coaching/ and you can apply there. I am also excited to share with you that very soon I am going to be rolling out a group coaching program. It's going to be the exact process I've been taking clients through, but this time it will be in a group setting. I think this gives you permission to open up, and it's a safe space to be seen. There will only be a limited amount of spots open, so be sure to go to http://daniellesavory.com/ and join my mailing list so you know when it launches.

This episode is Part 1 in a special double-episode release dedicated to raising awareness about suicide and suicide prevention. In Part 1, Ameé speaks with a guest who’s appeared on One Broken Mom before, Andy Grant from the show Real Men Feel. WARNING: If your life has been touched closely and intimately by suicide, this could be a tough episode to listen to - so pace yourself if you need to. This is a candid conversation about suicide and suicide ideation. Listeners heard Andy here earlier this year when he and Ameé chatted about the work he does and the arena he has established for men to come together and support each other as they learn the understanding and tools to help them with expressing the real thoughts, feelings and needs men have.But then a not so funny thing happened a few months ago.Andy disappeared. His daily posts quit happening. He wasn’t commenting in his community. He wasn’t answering his messages. He wasn’t recording new shows. When he did emerge finally, he shared that he’d fallen into the abyss again. But thankfully, Andy was able to grab the ledge and claw his way back. So this episode is an attempt to understand the depths of the day to day struggle some people have with fighting the urge to die. And to also, hopefully, connect with what has mattered or helped Andy the most through this. Andy, sadly, falls into the largest category of people who die by suicide in the United States – men between the ages of 40-60 years – the category that has taken a sharp increase the last 10 years. Too many people die by suicide and the people left behind have no answers to why and we hope to give some of those today.People don’t talk about suicide in this country out of the fear that others will see it as a solution. But that method isn’t working at saving the astonishing number of people who die each and so we’re going to do it differently today by having the raw honest conversations that too many people are afraid to do. In this episode you will hear: What triggered Andy's recent bout of depression and suicidal thoughtsWhat kept him from killing himselfThe treatments and therapies Andy finds most effective in his lifeWhat do family members and close friends need to know about supporting someone who thinks about killing themselvesResources:Real Men Feel on FacebookReal Men Feel on YouTube

Hurricane Florence hit the US East Coast nearly seven weeks ago, yet the cleanup is on going and many people’s lives are still not back to normal. In this DataPoint, Andy talks about the importance to remembering that there are people behind the statistics and data we gather. Frank’s Thoughts: What prompted me to think about this was how in the first few years after 9/11, I had shared my photos of the event with a researcher at NIST. In email exchange, I remember explaining to him that I would send him more data after I attended “another memorial service, third one this week.” He wrote back snarkily, “you know a lot of dead people.” To which I replied, “I knew a lot of people in the Towers.” He wrote back quickly, apologizing how his excitement for data collection got the better of him and he never really thought about the people who died and that he’s not just researching a fire, but a mass murder. That interchange stuck with me and, as I saw parallels between our excitement about “Andy Weather,” I thought it would be a teachable moment.It also helped that he was down in NC to volunteer to help the people whose lives have been upended by the storm. Andy’s Thoughts: Frank is spot on. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the numbers and forget that the numbers represent lives. Hurricanes are massive storms. The damage they cause takes months and years to fix. Some of the damage – like lives lost or permanently altered – is irreversible. That’s easy to overlook in some moments and – often – requires a paradigm shift in thinking for data driven people (like me). We should strive to help others at every opportunity – especially those recovering from disasters – because we are the only “us” we’ve got. It’s data. But it’s not just data.

How do you know it is Intuitive Guidance OR your busy mind coming up with ideas? What constitutes an intuitive-hit or a nudge from the Universe?--- Channel Your Chill, my group program is currently open for registration! Check it out here: www.thrive.how/channelyourchill ---A listener reached out to me recently to ask this, and she is far from the first person to bring it up. I can still remember back when I was sure I didn't have an intuitive bone in my body. Now - 5 years later - I consider myself incredibly tuned in to my inner guidance system. In this episode I'm talking through 4 particular checkpoints that can help you ascertain whether you're in alignment with your inner knowing, or whether you may have got caught in rumination or your overthinking mind. Some of the things covered include: The difference between Green Light intuition and your Warning System intuitionHow intuition is a feeling rather than thinking systemHow intuitive guidance will struggle to be heard over loud thoughtsWhat you can do to tune-inward and tune-out the outside world so you can hear your intuitionHow seeking approval outside of yourself kills intuitive connectionHow impulsivity is not intuition, and how if you are impulsive you can benefit from building in a contemplative practice before jumping to actHow trust is crucial to the processAnd the fineprint when it comes to intuition. What it can and can't do.There are quotes that I have peppered throughout this interview. If you would like to get those, head to www.thrive.how/podcast90I also mention Ali Katz free Intuition Journal.

Time Loops. Ever have the feeling something has happened before? Maybe 54 times? Ever get the urge to throw on some Bee Gees and dance the night away ... only to be interrupted by a fish? Yeah, neither have we. But it did happen to the crew of the USS Discovery—again and again—and to stay alive they had to con a con man. In this episode of Notes from The Edge, in which we deep-dive into connections between Star Trek: Discovery and the broader Star Trek universe, host C Bryan Jones shares his thoughts on “Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad”—particularly how it compares to “Cause and Effect” and other past time loop stories—and explores the music of the episode and previous instances of popular tunes in Star Trek.

What makes someone an athlete?  That's what we're talking about because calling myself an athlete is something I've struggled with since day 1. From feeling "slow" to not feeling like I looked like an athlete, I've come up with every excuse in the book to keep myself from accepting that I am in fact an athlete. So let's talk about why I struggle to assume the identity of an athlete.

On today's episode, Duane speaks with spiritual leader and author Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati. In her book Hollywood to the Himalayas, she shares the journey of her transformation from trauma and abuse to healing and freedom. Her hope is to bring people into the natural state of freedom, peace, and joy and, ultimately, free people from suffering, pain, and addiction.Although Sadhvi has written other books on her teachings, she reveals that this was the first time she shared her actual full story – uncensored, raw, deep, vulnerable, honest, and genuine. She decided to write the book after seeing how critical it is to bridge spirituality and humanity at this time when too many people are in the throes of human struggle, including addiction.Sadhvi grew up in Hollywood. She lived a privileged life, had access to the best education, and graduated from Stanford University. And yet, as everyone with addiction understands, something was bubbling beneath the surface. At an early age, Sadhvi dealt with sexual abuse and abandonment and, as a result, was yearning for love and approval. While she was succeeding beautifully in every external way, inside she felt like she had done something wrong and there was something wrong with her. Addiction became her go-to stress response and it never occurred to her that she could be free.We can get so lost in our trauma to the point that our feelings of unworthiness begin to permeate everything about us. Therefore, it's very important to find grace. Otherwise, we can get lost in our wounds.At the age of 25, Sadhvi went to India and had an extraordinary spiritual awakening experience. It was unexpected, unanticipated, and unsought for on any conscious level. From that moment on, she knew she was one with all of the Divine creation and the rest of her life began. In this episode, you will hear:Sadhvi's journey through addiction and spiritual awakeningLetting go of pain and the identification with painPracticing to keep the mind on trackHow we become slaves to our thoughtsWhat forgiveness meansThe two arcs of the book, Hollywood to the HimalayasKey Quotes:[03:18] - “It seems so critical today that we bridge spirituality and humanity.”[16:02] - “The dilemma with using psychedelics to get there is you have to just keep using them, which of course does not benefit anyone when you substitute awakening for addiction, and instead of freedom, you end up a slave.” [18:10] - “What to do comes really naturally once you have an experience of who you are. The dilemma for so many of us is we don't know who we are and so we don't know what to do.”[20:03] - “The most extraordinary lesson has been that our freedom is our highest goal… and the question always is – is this pain, is this grudge, is this identity – is it worth my freedom?”[20:43] - “We act like thoughts run the show. We act like we are slaves and the thoughts are the master.”[23:46] - “Forgiveness says regardless of what you have done to me, regardless of what your anger, ignorance, fear, confusion, your patterns, regardless of what those made you do to me, I still deserve to be free. That is my birthright.”[26:55] - “Regardless of how stuck you feel, you can be free. You have that veto power."[29:10] - “You're not your body any more than you are your car. Your car is a vehicle that takes you places. Your body is a vehicle. It's what the soul is using on this particular leg of the karmic journey, but you're not the body."Subscribe and ReviewHave you subscribed to our podcast?
