Why do small moments unleash outsized reactions? In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Tony Iezzi explains reenactments—those unconscious loops that pull us back into old stories. We unpack how everyday interactions can echo deeper themes like shame, abandonment, betrayal, or not being heard, and the 5-step approach to notice, regulate, name the theme, plan, and act differently. Straight talk, practical examples, and a clear path to break the cycle and respond with choice, not conditioning. About the guest Dr. Tony Iezzi is a clinical psychologist with 35+ years on the front lines of trauma recovery and co-author of Reenactments: Break the Behavior Patterns That Keep You Stuck in Trauma, Stress, and Everyday Life. His work helps people identify the core themes driving their reactions and replace automatic loops with intentional responses. Key takeaways (bullet points) Reenactments = patterned loops where body–mind–brain replay past responses in present situations; it's not only “big T” trauma—everyday moments can trigger old themes. Themes drive reactions (loss, abandonment, betrayal, humiliation, feeling unseen, feeling trapped, rescuer/underdog roles). Treat the theme, not just the obvious trigger. Normal reaction vs reenactment: normal passes quickly; reenactment lingers (hours/days) and feels disproportionate or hard to trace. Lingering is a red flag. Awareness is step one. Use daily journaling or meditation to capture incidents, feelings, and the underlying theme (e.g., “I felt shamed in that meeting”). Five-step method: 1) Awareness something happened; 2) Regulate (walk, journal, quiet time) to think clearly; 3) Name the theme; 4) Plan a different response; 5) Execute (e.g., a direct, calm conversation next day). Motives matter: act from self-respect and needs, not people-pleasing; otherwise you recreate the loop. Expect recurrence. Triggers will happen; the goal isn't zero triggers—it's choosing differently when they appear. Face it, don't avoid it. Avoidance keeps you stuck; approach the scary moment with a prepared plan to reclaim your voice and align with who you want to be.

How tough was it to pick our "album bookends" this week (that is, albums that have a great first and last track)? You could say that's impossible, that's im-poss-i-ble. But, fortunately, we're everywhere that you are! We're un-alone for this discussion, because (if you couldn't have guessed) we have guitarist/singer/songwriter Steve Barton and drummer Dave Scheff from one of the best American bands of the '80s, Translator! Translator released four excellent albums for 415/Columbia: Heartbeats and Triggers (1982), No Time Like Now (1983), Translator (1985), and Evening of the Harvest (1986). At the end of their initial run, they played a final gig at the Farm in their home base of San Francisco. Captured on a cassette, nearly 40 years later, that incendiary live set is out for the first time on download, LP, or CD as Beyond Today: Live at the Farm San Francisco: 1986. from Liberation Hall. https://translatorlive.bandcamp.com As an added treat for fans, Beyond Today also contains two brand new Translator songs, "These Days to Come" and "With Your Dreams", both wonderfully mixed by Ed Stasium.

Send us a textYou've heard the advice: “Teach your child to name their emotions.”But what if the real secret to helping your child (and yourself) regulate emotions starts deeper inside the body?In this episode, I sit down with pediatric occupational therapist Laura Petix (The OT Butterfly) to uncover what's really going on when kids have meltdowns, get overstimulated, or shut down. Spoiler alert: it's not about being “bad” or “defiant.”Laura explains how your child's behavior is actually a message from their nervous system and why understanding this changes everything about the way you respond.You'll learn:Why meltdowns, shutdowns, and big reactions are signs of nervous-system overloadHow sensory sensitivities (sound, touch, movement) shape your child's emotions and behaviorThe difference between a tantrum and a meltdown and why that mattersWhy co-regulation starts with your calm nervous systemThe mindset shift that helps you see behavior through compassion instead of controlIf you've ever wondered “Why does my child react this way — and why do I lose my cool, too?” this episode will open your eyes to what's really happening beneath the surface.Listen now and get ready to see your child's behavior through a completely new lens.Get Laura's Book: A Kids Book About NeurodiversityFollow Laura on Instagram @theotbutterflySupport the showRecord your question, or share a parenting insight in a 1 min audio we will share on the podcast https://www.speakpipe.com/ReflectiveParentingPodcast Become a Reflective Parent using our evidence-based program: https://curiousneuron.com/reflective-parent-club/ Grab a Free Resource: FREE Workbook: Staying Calm When Your Child Isn't: A Parent's Guide to Triggers and Emotions Email: info@curiousneuron.com
In this episode, I explore Norman Rush's Mating, focusing on the chapter “Guilty Repose” and the section “Weep for Me.” Through the narrator's encounter with the waterfall, I unpack themes of noise, solitude, mediocrity, and companionship — connecting her revelations to my own experiences with silence, striving, and the human need for connection.Discussion Highlights:How “the roar penetrates you” mirrors our craving for sensory overwhelm — music, crowds, even chaos — to quiet the mind's constant chatter.The painful beauty of solitude eroding, and what it means to reconnect with ourselves after long avoidance.The “Weep for Me” moment as an honest confrontation with buried sadness, surfacing only when the world finally goes quiet.The narrator's fear of mediocrity and how society equates “average” with “unacceptable,” fueling endless striving.The final revelation — “If you had a companion you would stay where you are” — as a call to seek steadiness, humility, and shared presence over transcendence.
In this powerful episode of The Root of the Matter, Dr. Rachaele Carver sits down with two of her favorite practitioners and her very first repeat guests, Mackenzie Evangelista, functional nutritionist and founder of Harvest Wellness & Nutrition, and Katie Kiting, certified Emotion Code and Body Code practitioner from Honey Holistic Health.Together, they dive deep into the connection between drainage, detoxification, and emotional health, revealing why true detox is about much more than supplements and green juices.You'll learn:The difference between detoxification and drainage and why both are essential for lasting wellness.How emotions get stored in the body and block physical healing.The surprising ways your nervous system health determines how well you detox.Why over-detoxing can backfire and how to listen when your body says “enough.”Real-life tools and gentle modalities such as muscle testing, castor oil packs, ionic foot baths, and body code work that support safe and effective cleansing.How mindset, prayer, and emotional processing can open the body's natural pathways and help you feel grounded, lighter, and more resilient.This conversation blends science, spirituality, and real experience to remind us that healing happens when we slow down, honor our emotions, and let the body flow.Connect with Our Guests:Mackenzie Evangelista
The 9 Top Triggers for Binge Eating Seen Inside the Therapy Room - and how to manage them. Binge eating is not simply scoffing an extra biscuit, with your morning coffee break. Instead, it involves eating fast, an extremely large amount of food (more than you would eat for lunch or dinner). It's usually in secret and can feel like a dissociative or ‘out of body' experience. You are fully present and grounded on earth, but it can feel as though a demon has swept over you and taken all rational decision making away. Binge eating can fleetingly bring euphoria and pleasure. This is short-lived before guilt, shame and self-loathing descend like a dark cloud. Plus, the physical consequences of feeling over-full are deeply unpleasant and sometimes painful. Binge eating can happen across eating disorders and within disordered eating. This means if you have: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder or OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder) – binges can occur.

I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I dive into strategies for boosting restaurant profitability without raising prices. I explain why it's so important to see restaurants as providers of time slots rather than just food and beverage, and how that shift impacts service. I share why the first 20 minutes of the guest experience matter most, plus the tactics I use to improve pacing, satisfaction, and table turns.Takeaways:Most restaurant marketing fails because it's built on guesswork.Awareness doesn't pay the rent, behavior does.If it doesn't move a booking, a purchase or return visit, then it's just noise.We want to align with behavior, not alter it.Triggers turn offers into rituals.The fastest money you can make is in the list you already own.Stop chasing strangers while your regulars gather dust.Create experiences that use desire that already exists.If it wouldn't move you, it probably won't move them.Your marketing must move the needle in your business.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Restaurant Success01:21 Reframing Restaurant Profitability02:51 Understanding Time as Inventory05:45 Optimizing Service for ProfitabilityIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

We start with a simple truth: if something triggers you, it owns you. From marriages strained by defensiveness, to children calling out their father's lack of emotional intelligence, Chad shows how unchecked reactions erode trust, respect, and legacy.His own turning point came when his son told him he had “zero emotional intelligence.” Instead of firing back, Chad began the slow work of asking why every sharp word stung—and what it revealed about his need for respect, affirmation, and value.We explore how men often hide behind discipline, how protection and fear shape family dynamics, and why “being open” is useless if you don't create a safe environment for truth. The conversation turns personal—broken trust, blended families, strokes, and the moment Chad realized decades of construction projects weren't a legacy if his family couldn't stand him.The fix isn't perfection. It's self-awareness. Triggers are symptoms. And the healing comes when you let the people you've hurt tell you the truth—and you listen.TL;DR* Triggers own you until you own them.* Overreactions reveal insecurity, not reality.* Emotional intelligence starts with self-awareness, not slogans.* Legacy is people, not projects.* Leaders (and fathers) go first—healing is contagious.Memorable lines “Anything that triggers you is telling you more about yourself than the other person.” “Legacy isn't bridges or hotels—it's your kids wanting to talk to you.” “If you don't create a safe environment, your ‘openness' is just virtue signaling.”Guest Chad Brignac — Transformationalist consultant, speaker, and author of Blend Don't Break, focused on self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and healing through small shifts.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/chadmbrignac/Why this matters Whether at work or at home, unchecked triggers destroy trust. Healing them isn't just about avoiding fights—it's about building a legacy of respect, connection, and compassion.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

Can your body really heal just because you believe it can? In this episode, we explore how expectation creates real biological changes—sometimes as powerful as medication or surgery.From sham surgeries that relieve chronic pain to sugar pills that rival morphine, the science of placebo and nocebo shows us that healing isn't only about what we take, but also what we believe. Yet, most of us have no idea how to access this built-in mind-body medicine.By listening, you'll discover:The surprising truth about how and why drug trials minimize the placebo effect.The everyday practices that flip your nervous system into “healing mode.”How positive expectation can boost immunity, calm inflammation, and accelerate recovery.Press play now to learn how to harness the healing power of the mind-body connection and unlock one of the most underused medicines you already carry within you.This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

Travel isn't just about the logistics of getting from one place to another — it's the nervous system spikes, the old body image stories that flare when you're around people from your past, and the challenge of feeding yourself in a group. In this episode, I talk about a recent trip with college friends and the layers that came with it: Flight anxiety and how I work with my body in real time when panic hits mid-air The anticipatory dread before seeing old friends (and why it often feels worse than the reality) Navigating group meals without abandoning your own needs The strange crash that happens when you come home and how to soften that landing What it takes to speak up when diet culture sneaks into social situations If you've ever come back from a trip feeling heavy, disconnected, or like you lost your footing with food, you're not alone. This conversation unpacks why travel brings all of this to the surface and how to move through it without betraying yourself.

From Hijacked to Healing: Navigating Triggers, Sobriety, and Repair after Sexual Betrayal Summary Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis break down what “being triggered” actually is—the body's alarm system firing after a stimulus—and how it can hijack thinking and push couples into fight/flight/freeze. They map the reaction sequence (stimulus → thoughts/emotions → chemical surge → flooding) and explain why triggers can surface even years into recovery (Hebbian learning: “neurons that fire together wire together”). You'll learn a practical path to move from reactivity to response: (1) name the trigger (“name it to tame it”), (2) notice where it lives in your body, (3) regulate—timeout, breath, movement, journaling, nature, (4) co-regulate with a sponsor or safe person, (5) practice self-compassion instead of shame, and (6) return for a repair conversation when both are calm. They coach the betraying partner to avoid minimizing or weaponizing the trigger and to offer steady presence and comfort. The episode closes with a preview of RISE: Hope and Healing After Sexual Betrayal, a new podcast + course focused on the early stages of betrayal trauma.

I'm so thankful for this conversation with Stephanie Broersma about her brand-new resource: Reclaimed: A Course to Guide You Through Betrayal and Infidelity Trauma. This powerful resource is designed for those walking through the trauma of betrayal, offering hope, healing, and a path forward. In our conversation, Stephanie shares how the course helps you stay connected to the Lord in the midst of grief, while also providing practical next steps and long-term rhythms to move toward restoration. She reminds us that your spouse's decisions do not define your worth and that there is a real enemy fighting against both your marriage and your identity in Christ. If you've been hurting, this conversation will point you back to truth, hope, and healing. Episode Highlights: What fires together, wires together. You have options when triggers begin to surface. Triggers don't equate to a lack of forgiveness. There's no need to rush. Give yourself time to get your emotions regulated before making a major decision. Allow the Lord the space to work in the midst of the grief and in the midst of the stillness and heaviness. Quotes from Today's Episode: Give yourself time to grieve and heal the right way. -Dr. Kim God designed emotions to inform us about our world. They are not bad. They give us language to express what we are feeling.- Stephanie Triggers point you to an experienced trauma in your life and then you have an option. You have a choice. What am I going to do with this trigger?-Stephanie As you heal, the triggers become less damaging. -Dr. Kim Sexual addiction, at its deepest level, is a spiritual issue. A disorder of worship, not to God but to self.- Stephanie Healing does not happen in isolation. You are not meant to be alone in this journey.-Stephanie Forgiveness is a posture of surrender that says, 'I can't fix him. I don't want to fix him.'- Stephanie Your spouse does not define you or your future. As long as God leaves, as long as you get that breath, God's got a plan for you.- Dr. Kim If you're going to get healthy, there has to be boundaries in place. And they have to be consistent.- Dr. Kim Hope chooses faith even in the mess. Questions for Reflection: In what ways have you been tempted to let someone else's choices define your worth, and how can you replace those lies with God's truth about your identity? What is one practical rhythm you can begin this week to stay connected to the Lord as you process pain or grief?

Send us a textDo you ever hear your child say things like, “I'm such a bad kid” or “I'll never be good at this” and your heart sinks because you don't know what to say?You're not alone. And this episode is about to change the way you respond.Today, I'm sitting down with award-winning science journalist and author Melinda Wenner Moyer to talk about her latest book Hello, Cruel World, a toolkit for raising confident, resilient kids in today's messy, complicated world.Here's the truth:➡️ Your kids will struggle with self-doubt, negative self-talk, and tough emotions.➡️ How you respond in those moments can either shut them down or help them build lifelong confidence.➡️ And the secret isn't telling them “Don't say that” it's something much more powerful (and doable).In this episode, you'll learn:The 3-step “recipe” for self-compassion (and how practicing it yourself teaches your kids to do the same).How to validate your child's feelings without agreeing with their negative self-talk.The surprising research on resilience: why letting your kids sit with discomfort (instead of rescuing them every time) builds the skills they'll need for life.Why helicopter parenting backfires — and how giving kids independence actually boosts confidence and self-esteem.The truth about alcohol and teens (and why letting them drink at home doesn't protect them — it puts them at greater risk).This conversation will give you the practical, science-backed strategies you need to:✔️ Stop feeling helpless when your child is hard on themselves✔️ Build their confidence in everyday moments✔️ Feel more equipped to parent in a world that often feels overwhelmingThis is one of those episodes you'll want to save, re-listen to, and share with every parent you know.Join Melinda's Newsletter, Now What:https://www.melindawennermoyer.com/Follow Melinda on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/melindawmoyer/Parenting Self-compassion: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis:Support the showRecord your message to ask a question, share an insight or give us some feedback! https://www.speakpipe.com/ReflectiveParentingPodcast Learn how to become a Reflective Parent!

What if you could take that familiar whisper of "You don't quite belong" and give it the heave-ho? Picture this: at your stepdaughter's sorority Parents Weekend, everyone's wearing their "sorority mom" pins . . . everyone but you. That familiar whisper starts: "I wonder if they notice I don't belong here." But then something incredible happens: you pause, breathe, and choose a different thought. This episode is about that moment - how triggers that used to wreck you now don't have to. You know what I'm talking about: It can be the smallest, most seemingly-insignificant moments that hits stepmoms where we're most vulnerable and surfaces our deepest insecurities. And then before we know it, we embark on the mental gymnastics of analyzing every interaction to verify our assumptions that we have, in fact, been rejected - or that we are, in fact, inadequate . . . and we spiral. Sound familiar? But what if we didn't have to go down that rabbithole of doubt? What if we could catch ourselves in that moment and choose to focus on what's actually true? I'll talk you through how to do just that so next time you can change your experience. And your stepfamily.

How to Identify and Rewire the Subconscious "Software" That Runs Your Life This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast is a follow-up and deeper dive into one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives: our paradigms. Randy and his daughter Adrienne return to dissect the "mental software" we're programmed with from a young age. They discuss how these deep-seated beliefs, often formed before we can even reason, act as a filter that dictates our reactions, creates emotional triggers, and reinforces core wounds like not feeling "lovable" or "worthy." Through personal stories and real-time analysis, they explore how to become aware of this programming, challenge the "black and white" thinking it creates, and reclaim control over your own thoughts, feelings, and actions. This conversation is a practical guide to identifying your own paradigm and beginning the work of rewriting it. Key Takeaways: Your paradigm is the subconscious "software" programmed into you during your formative years (ages 0-8) that controls most of your automatic behaviors and beliefs. This mental program acts as a "safety shield," creating emotional triggers to keep you within your comfort zone and away from perceived threats. Many of our deepest struggles and limiting beliefs stem from stories we created in childhood to make sense of events, even if those stories aren't true. The first step to changing your paradigm is awareness: recognizing a trigger in the moment and questioning where the feeling is coming from. We are not our feelings. Separating your identity from your emotions (e.g., saying "I am feeling sad" instead of "I am sad") is a powerful technique to regain control. A powerful mantra to release the need for external validation is: "What's meant for me will find me, and anything else is none of my business." It's never too early and never too late to start the work of understanding and rewriting your own paradigm. Questions Answered in This Episode: What is a paradigm and how does it control your daily life? How does our childhood programming affect our adult relationships and success? How are emotional triggers connected to our core wounds and paradigm? How can you become more aware of your own paradigm in real-time? Why do we often feel like we can't put our negative feelings into words? What is the danger of using "I am" statements when describing negative emotions? How can you stop caring about what others think and stay focused on your own path? What practical steps can you take to begin changing your deep-seated programming?

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!When your child's tone, excuses, or sneaky moments feel eerily familiar, it can trigger real fear - are we replaying my partner's behaviors? In this episode, we unpack the difference between normal child development and harmful adult patterns. We dig into nature vs. nurture (genes load the gun; environment pulls the trigger), why kids' emotional immaturity is expected while adult immaturity is damaging, and how to respond without projecting old wounds onto your child.You'll learn simple, repeatable tools: name the trigger (“I'm reacting to my spouse, not my kid”), pause before correcting, teach emotional language, model repair and accountability, hold consistent boundaries, and spot the red flags that deserve closer attention. We'll also share how one stable, nurturing parent can shift a child's trajectory - and why your day-to-day modeling matters more than DNA.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

In this thought-provoking episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt delves into the complex phenomenon of cognitive dissonance. With her trademark blend of humor and authenticity, Brianne unpacks the psychological discomfort that arises when we hold conflicting beliefs, ideas, and values simultaneously. She shares her personal experiences and insights gained from years of navigating the challenges of addiction recovery.Throughout the episode, Brianne illustrates how cognitive dissonance manifests in various aspects of life, from toxic relationships to unhealthy habits. She emphasizes the struggle between the comfort of familiar patterns and the discomfort of making healthier choices. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the mental tension that accompanies these conflicts and learn practical strategies for confronting and overcoming them.Brianne provides relatable examples, from the allure of unhealthy foods to the difficulties of breaking free from toxic relationships, and encourages listeners to sit with their discomfort rather than seeking immediate escape. By recognizing the signs of cognitive dissonance and the impact it has on decision-making, individuals can begin to align their actions with their true values and long-term goals.
