Podcasts about worrying

Today starts a temporary break from Money and Mental Peace due to family situations, including a funeral and another relative in the hospital. Please help to pray for comfort, healing and reconciliation! Here's candid reminder that podcasters are human! We must embrace grace over perfection, and ask for God's guidance in all life things - family, health, and work decisions, etc. Thank you for your understanding! New episodes may resume after the break, possibly with replays in the meantime.

In this podcast for Christian college girls, you will learn to find GOD’S path for your college journey, and graduate with no loans or debt! I get it! It is so tough doing things the world‘s way, when everybody else is doing life without God and in their own strength, making poor choices, and taking out loans. So, if you’re ready to stop dreading making decisions, and find EASY solutions to help you pay for college while following His path for your life, this podcast is for you! Hey there! I’m Kara Walker, a twenty-something entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, recovering over-achiever, and debt-free college graduate. In college, I too was a stressed college student, looking for money and mental peace. I wondered if there were other ways to pay for college besides loans, and wished for clear direction on how to make college and career decisions! Not only was I worried about drowning in debt, but also afraid I hadn’t heard Jesus correctly. Was I studying the wrong thing? Was I completely off track? I felt semi-out of control and was spiraling, until I learned how to hear from God and follow His direction. He guided me and gave me the stepping stones to pay for college. Scholarships, grants, testing out of classes, and other weird school hacks got me through debt-free! And, I’m here to teach you HOW to do this, too. If you are ready to find answers about your future, have an intimate and fruitful relationship with Jesus, and have enough money to KILL it at college, this pod is for you! So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you’ve ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace.

Presented by Julie Busteed Do you tend to worry about things in the future that have not even happened yet? I know it's easy for me to fall into that mindset. But Jesus clearly tells us not to go there! Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own (Matthew 6:34). This is the final verse in a section where Jesus tells us not to be anxious about our lives—not about what we will eat or what we will wear. And what does worrying accomplish? It doesn't add anything to our lives. In fact, anxiety is harmful. Left unchecked, it creates stress that affects us physically, mentally and emotionally. Now, I'm not talking about the nervousness you might feel before a job interview or a presentation—though we certainly can pray for peace in those moments. I'm talking about chronic anxiety, the kind that takes a toll on your body and mind. Jesus points us to the lilies of the field: And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? (Matthew 6:28-30 NLT) Why do you and I have so little faith! We serve a great and awesome God, and we can bring any and everything to him in prayer. The Apostle Peter encourages us to cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you (I Peter 5:7). Worrying is not only useless but is also evidence of a lack of faith in God. When you feel that anxious thought creep into your thinking, replace it right away with truth from Scripture or with a worship song. Replace it with God's truth. Know that he cares for you and knows your needs; you are worth more to him than anything else.

Daily Word Worrying about your finances is unhealthy as it can lead to depression, stress, and illness. Financial worry is something you should avoid. To eliminate it, you need to address the root cause. Worrying indicates that money has become your master. To remove worry, you must change your master. __________ Matthew 6:24–25 KJV, Matthew 6:31–32 NLT, Ecclesiastes 10:19 KJV, 1 Corinthians 14:33 KJV, 1 Timothy 6:10 KJV, Matthew 6:33 KJV, Matthew 17:27 KJV, Matthew 21:1–3 KJV, John 6:5–6 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

What if the reason you're burned out isn't delegation—but the fact that you're managing other people's approval instead of leading?You don't struggle with delegation—you struggle with giving clear feedback to the people whose approval you think you need. In this Thursday quick-hit, Dawn breaks down why senior hires trigger softened communication, midnight rewrites, and CEO exhaustion—and how learning to hold someone else's disappointment is the real leadership skill that removes bottlenecks. If you're rewriting work at 11 PM to “be nice,” this episode will hit uncomfortably close to home (in the best way).Ready to stop managing approval and start leading with clarity? Join the free AI for Founders Community—a room full of founders learning to delegate, give feedback, and lead without the approval economy running their business.Key TakeawaysYou're not bad at feedback—you're inconsistent. You give crystal-clear direction to people whose approval you don't need…and hedge endlessly with the ones you're afraid to disappoint.You're running two delegation systems. One clear. One softened. That split is what's exhausting you—not your team.Approval is expensive. Rewriting emails, taking work back, and fixing things at midnight is an invisible approval tax on your CEO time.This isn't about their feelings—it's about your story. You're not managing their disappointment. You're managing the fear of what their disappointment might “prove” about you.AI can expose your approval patterns fast. When emotions muddy leadership language, AI can objectively show you where you hedge, soften, and self-protect.Before you give feedback, ask yourself: “Am I softening this because they can't handle clarity—or because I'm afraid of losing their approval?”If it's the second one, that's not kindness. That's self-protection.Leadership requires learning how to hold someone else's disappointment without making it your emergency.Use AI as your approval detector:Prompt:“Analyze my feedback patterns. Below are three emails to junior team members and three to senior team members. Identify where my language shifts from direct to hedging, where I manage reactions instead of stating expectations, and rewrite the senior feedback with the same clarity used for juniors.”You'll see the pattern immediately—and once you see it, you can't unsee it.Resources & LinksJoin the Community: AI for Founders Free GroupFreebie: The Feedback FixRelated Episodes:Ep. 125 | The 3-Text Test: How Female Founders Use AI to Stop Their Team From Treating Them Like Google — communication clarity + boundaries.Send us a textWant to increase revenue and impact?

Why am I worrying so much?In this message, Pastor John Huseman walks through the words of Jesus and asks an honest question many of us are carrying. “Can any one of you, by worrying, add a single hour to your life?” Worry promises control, but it only steals peace. As Pastor John reminds us, “worry will rob you of peace 100% of the time.”Drawing from Scripture, he explains that anxiety is rooted in uncertainty, while God is always certain, faithful, and present. When our thoughts are fixed on Him, God promises “perfect peace.” This message unpacks how worry grows, how comparison and fear trouble our hearts, and how God invites us to live differently.You'll also hear three practical, biblical ways to let peace rule your heart:•Increase your gratitude•Increase your encouragement•Increase the Word of God in your lifeAs Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you.” This message will encourage you to release worry, fix your thoughts on God, and trust the One who is always with you.

Worry and anxiety plague all of us. We don't have to try to worry; it just happens. We pile the pressures and burdens of life on our own shoulders, and our stress levels skyrocket. As Paul encourages the Philippians to "stand fast" in the Christian life, he tells them to replace anxiety with prayer and thus experience the peace of God. These practical, encouraging verses help us to battle anxiety.

Most people think attachment is dedication. In reality, it's often fear wearing a productive mask. In this episode, Lori and I talk about why detachment is one of the most powerful skills you can build as a high performer and the 4 areas where attachment quietly sabotages your growth.

Matthew ch 6 vs 26-34 - Preacher Jeremy Martin - Wednesday, January 28, 2026

I used to think being “attached” meant being committed. But what I've learned through business, faith, and some pretty brutal pivots is that attachment is often the very thing slowing us down. In this episode, Chris and I break down why detachment (or as I used to call it, “unattachment”) is one of the most powerful skills you can build as a high performer. We talk about 4 four places of detachment and the lessons I learned from releasing the need to be seen. The fastest growth comes when you release control over how things unfold, who gets the credit, what it looks like to others, and when it all happens.

Are you constantly worried — even about things you can't actually control? I share a simple but powerful analogy I gave a client that completely changed how she thought about stress, responsibility, and interior peace. As Catholic moms, we often carry weight that God never asked us to carry. We worry about outcomes. We worry about the future.  We worry about things that are not actually in our domain. And all of that worry quietly steals our peace. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why worrying about the "mortgage" (literal or metaphorical) is draining you - How to tell the difference between what's yours to carry and what belongs to God - Why God gives grace for real problems — but not imaginary ones - How to let go of the background worry that never seems to turn off If you're a Catholic mom who feels like she's always holding something heavy in the back of her mind, this video is for you.  I'm praying for you. Please pray for me.

In this episode, Heather explores why you might be hesitating to take action in your business—and it's probably not for the reason you think. Using a real coaching conversation as an example, Heather explains how fear of success, self-trust, and identity often create invisible resistance. If you've been avoiding tasks you know matter, this episode will help you understand what's really going on and how to move forward with clarity and confidence. Key takeaways from this episode: Hesitation is rarely about the task itself. Avoidance often points to fear of what comes after success, not fear of failure. You can't out-strategy your identity. If success doesn't match your current self-concept, your brain will unconsciously resist it. Fear of disappointing others creates self-sabotage. Worrying about delivery, performance, or making mistakes can stop action before it starts. Success intolerance is real—and common. When success feels unsafe to your nervous system, it will steer you back to your comfort zone. The worst-case scenario is usually just a feeling. If you trust yourself to manage embarrassment, disappointment, or discomfort, you unlock action. Self-trust expands capacity. Taking action builds evidence that you can figure things out, which becomes your new identity.  This episode came directly from a one-on-one coaching call with a photographer who had already done the work—her email was written, her list was started—but she couldn't bring herself to hit send.

Bonita Norris became the youngest woman to reach both the summit of Mt Everest at just 22 and the North Pole at 23, and her story is nothing short of extraordinary. In this episode, she shares the journey that took her from school trips in North Wales to climbing some of the world's highest peaks, navigating extreme environments, and pushing the limits of what's possible. Bonita reflects on the early steps that built her career in mountaineering—starting with beginner climbing courses, funding her expeditions, and preparing for the Himalayan peaks. She opens up about the mental and physical challenges of summiting Everest, managing fear in remote and hostile environments, and how these experiences shaped her life and perspective. Now a mother of two, Bonita also discusses how she balances adventure with family life, inspiring her children to embrace courage and curiosity. From attempting K2 to climbing the Matterhorn after an eight-year hiatus, she emphasises the importance of showing up, trusting the process, and meeting opportunity with determination.

Show NotesSummaryIn this episode, Ms. G delves into the pervasive issue of worry, a common experience that many people face but often hesitate to discuss. She emphasizes that while it's natural to worry, it ultimately serves no productive purpose and can detract from our peace and trust in God. Drawing from biblical references, she highlights the distinction between worry and wisdom, urging listeners to recognize that worrying does not solve problems but rather keeps us stuck in anxiety about the future. Ms. G encourages a shift from worry to trust, emphasizing that trusting God is an active choice that requires daily commitment and prayer.Ms. G further explores the idea that worry can signal a lack of faith or an attempt to control outcomes that are beyond our grasp. She invites listeners to reflect on what they are worrying about and to surrender those burdens to God. By replacing worry with prayer and gratitude, individuals can find peace and clarity. The episode concludes with a powerful reminder that while challenges are inevitable, God promises to be with us through them, and trusting Him is the key to experiencing true peace.TakeawaysWorry is a waste; it doesn't solve problems.Trusting God is an active choice, not passive.Worry keeps us stuck in the future, missing today's grace.Replace worry with prayer and gratitude.What are you worrying about that God is asking you to surrender?Worry vs. Wisdom: Choosing Trust Over AnxietySurrendering Worry: Finding Peace in Trusting God"Worrying has never solved a single problem.""Exchange worry for prayer, anxiety for Thanksgiving.""Worry is a burden we were never designed to carry."Keywords: worry, trust, faith, wisdom, prayer, anxiety, God, peace, Christian living, surrenderSound Bites Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Worry01:57 Worry vs. Wisdom05:47 The Impact of Worry on Trust06:46 Choosing Trust Over Panic09:38 Surrendering Worry to God

Drive Time Debrief – Episode 202 Random Internet Advice, Part 2: Protect Your Peace & Stop Worshiping the Problem In Part Two of our “Random Internet Advice” series, the DTD crew dives into more thought-provoking (and surprisingly wise) wisdom pulled from the endless scroll—this time inspired by @JessKR on TikTok. We unpack powerful ideas like: ✨ Why other people's opinions of you are truly none of your business ✨ How protecting your peace is often more important than proving a point ✨ What boundaries really mean (and why they actually help relationships last) ✨ Letting go of the need for universal approval ✨ Taking responsibility for your own happiness instead of outsourcing it ✨ And the mic-drop truth: Worrying is like worshiping the problem. Through stories from medicine, family life, relationships, and personal growth, we explore how to live from your values, honor your integrity, and stop letting conflict, criticism, or fear steal your emotional energy. From the wisdom of your 8-year-old and 80-year-old selves, to Terry Real's insight on the “losing strategy” of being right, to the freedom that comes from setting loving boundaries—this episode is packed with perspective-shifting takeaways. If you've ever felt drained by trying to manage others' opinions, stuck in endless worry loops, or tempted to sacrifice your peace just to make a point… this conversation is for you. Take a breath, protect your peace, and remember: where your attention goes, your energy flows.

Julie Holmes is a renowned AI expert, inventor, and tech entrepreneur who's with me on the show to discuss how AI is reshaping the buyer-seller dynamic. She shares her expertise on how to manage when AI-empowered buyers are more informed (and sometimes misinformed), making the salesperson's role as both educator and "un-educator" more vital than ever. Julie breaks down how sales pros can leverage AI to boost efficiency and personalize their approach while preserving the irreplaceable human skills of motivation, determination, and empathy. Julie reveals her "20-60-20" framework for becoming AI empowered, not just an AI user, and gives real-world examples of how blending AI with human expertise creates better outcomes for both buyers and sellers. If you're looking to embrace AI while maintaining integrity, humanity, and the consultative spirit of great selling, this episode is for you! Outline of This Episode 00:00 AI's impact on buyer behavior. 07:21 AI tools for sales impact. 11:53 Collaborating effectively using AI. 14:15 AI misconceptions and questions. 16:25 Maintaining your sales edge. 19:57 Balancing AI and human connection. 25:08 Building trust through AI. AI Can Mirror Sentiment, But It Can't Mean It One of the most striking shifts in the sales process is that buyers now arrive more informed, often armed with research and recommendations generated by AI tools. However, with this information comes a greater risk of misconception. Today's sales professionals must not only educate but also "uneducate" buyers, correcting misinformation before moving forward. This increases vendors' responsibility to provide clarity and guidance, effectively making the salesperson both a subject-matter expert and a myth-buster. While AI can enrich the initial dialogue, it's up to humans to ensure accuracy and build genuine trust. AI-Powered Preparation and Human Skills That Still Matter AI isn't just changing buyer behavior, it's revolutionizing how sellers prepare for conversations. Rather than spending hours collecting information, sales professionals can now use AI for pre-call intelligence, rapidly gathering relevant data on prospects and industries. Julie shares how she uses a chatbot for a six-factor framework, analyzing what's happening before, after, inside, and outside, and identifying what the prospect needs more or less of. This allows for more meaningful conversations, less time lost to research, and greater focus on strategy. Human skills remain irreplaceable, particularly when we think about motivation and empathy. Sellers must take the initiative to use AI as a tool, not a crutch, and most importantly, empathy enables salespeople to read emotional nuances, office politics, and subtleties that AI can't quite capture, proving that the emotional layer of every deal is still fundamentally human. Leveraging AI Without Losing Yourself Julie outlines three powerful strategies that sales teams use AI to boost efficiency and effectiveness without sounding robotic or impersonal.  Pre-Call Intelligence: Harnessing AI to analyze prospects and markets before meetings, so sellers are prepared and focused. Proposal Enhancement: Using AI to break through "blank page syndrome" with draft emails or proposals, then tailoring content for tone and context based on transcripts and prior interactions. Real-Time Practice: Employing AI to role-play sales conversations, allowing reps to rehearse handling objections and refine messaging before high-stakes calls. The secret isn't in delegating authenticity to AI, but rather in using technology to amplify your own understanding, creativity, and responsiveness. Human Judgment is the Deciding Factor Even with advanced AI tools, human judgment plays a central role in guiding insights, making strategic decisions, and building relationships. The distinction between being an "AI user" and being "AI empowered" hinges on critical thinking. Empowered sellers don't outsource decision-making, they use AI to supplement their intuition and discernment, applying context where it matters most. Her 20/60/20 rule puts it succinctly: spend 20% of your time thoughtfully prompting and guiding AI, let it do 60% of the heavy lifting, then use the final 20% to filter, personalize, and enhance the output. Sales teams often stumble with three core misconceptions about AI: Believing it's "plug and play" and mistaking quantity of data for quality. Worrying that AI will make their work less authentic (when, in fact, bad prompting is the real culprit). Fearing the loss of their competitive edge or creativity. The antidote is hands-on AI literacy, combined with ongoing development of relationship-building, communication, and problem-solving skills. Sales leaders should focus on balancing automation with moments of critical human connection to maximize both speed and impact. AI should be viewed not as a replacement for human expertise, but as an empowerment tool that elevates sales professionals. As Julie says, "Be great at what you do, use AI to support that, become AI empowered, and be a better salesperson who is delivering better service with the use of technology."

This week, Sam & Jess dive into the theme of not taking life too seriously, exploring how easing up can benefit both yourself and those around you. They kick off with a light-hearted game of 'Would She Rather,' which sets the tone for a conversation that balances humor with deeper insights. The discussion transitions into personal anecdotes about the physical manifestations of stress, such as clenching jaws and glutes, and how these habits reflect a mindset of constant tension and worry. They emphasize the importance of recognizing when life feels too serious and the need to embrace moments of joy and relaxation instead.TakeawaysIt's not that serious.We often brace for something to go wrong.Enjoy what you have in the moment.Worrying doesn't improve outcomes.Silliness can create better outcomes.Friends of Feel GoodJoin the Basic Bitch Boogie App - Get $15 off your first monthFollow Basic Bitch Boogie on InstagramFollow MJ Selling Paradise on Instagram

Iran is unraveling in real time. Protests are spreading from city to city, police are joining the crowds, and armed civilians are pushing regime forces out entirely. The ayatollahs are firing live rounds, issuing desperate threats, and now—reports suggest the U.S. may be positioning for action. At the same time, Israel is watching closely… and preparing. As this unfolds, Syria and Israel are holding talks in Paris at the behest of the Trump administration, laying the groundwork for a very interesting—if not concerning—deal. On Israel's northern border, Hezbollah refuses to give up its offensive weapons, and Israel delivers an ultimatum. On the home front, Palestinians are protesting en masse over the Palestinian Authority's proposed changes to its Pay-for-Slay program. Ben Hilton breaks it all down for you.

Anxiety Isn't the Problem — It's the Habit Loop Behind It I recently had a conversation with psychiatrist and neuroscientist Jud Brewer that stopped me in my tracks — not because it was abstract or inspirational, but because it finally explained something I've lived with for decades. Even in long-term sobriety. Even with years of self-work, therapy, meetings, journaling, and personal development. That thing is anxiety — and more specifically, how anxiety quietly turns into habits like worrying, overthinking, scrolling, information hoarding, procrastinating, and self-judgment. What Dr. Brewer helped me see is this: Anxiety isn't a personal flaw. It's a learned habit loop. And once I saw that clearly, everything changed.     Worry Is a Behavior — Not a Personality Trait One of the most powerful reframes from our conversation was this: Worry isn't just a feeling — it's something we do. Anxiety shows up as a sensation in the body. Worry is the mental behavior we use to try to control that sensation. And here's the trap: Worry feels productive. It feels like we're doing something. That tiny sense of relief is enough to reward the brain — which means the loop gets reinforced. Anxiety → Worry → Temporary relief → Repeat Over time, this becomes automatic. So automatic we don't even realize we're doing it. That's the definition of a habit.     Why "Why Am I Like This?" Keeps Us Stuck As someone in recovery, I'm very familiar with the idea of "getting to the root cause." Childhood trauma, identity, shame, conditioning — all of that matters. But here's what surprised me: Dr. Brewer says the "why" is often the least important part when it comes to changing anxiety. Not because the past doesn't matter — but because focusing on why often keeps us stuck in our heads instead of helping us change what we're doing right now. When anxiety hits, the more helpful question isn't: "Why am I like this?" It's: "What am I getting from this behavior?" That question shifts us from self-blame to curiosity — and curiosity is where real change begins.     The Default Mode Network (AKA: The Overthinking Machine) We also talked about the brain's default mode network — the system that activates when we're not focused on a task. This network lights up when we: Worry about the future Replay the past Judge ourselves Compare ourselves to others Crave, resist, or ruminate In other words: it's the "me, me, me" network. When fear (an urge to act now) gets crossed with planning (thinking about the future), we get anxiety. Anxiety doesn't help us act. It freezes us. That's why so many high-achievers know exactly what to do — and still don't do it.     The Three Gears of Change (This Is the Part That Actually Helps) Dr. Brewer's work focuses on a simple but profound process he calls the three gears: ⚙️ Gear 1: Awareness Notice the behavior. Worrying. Scrolling. Self-judging. Avoiding. No fixing. No shaming. Just noticing. If it's automatic, it's a habit — and habits can be changed.     ⚙️ Gear 2: Ask "What Am I Getting From This?" This is the most overlooked step. Not: "What should I be doing?" "What's wrong with me?" "Why can't I just stop?" But: What is this giving me right now? Safety? Distraction? Avoidance of shame? Temporary relief? When we see clearly that the reward is small — and the cost is high — the habit starts to lose its power.     ⚙️ Gear 3: Find the Bigger, Better Offer This is where things shift. Instead of numbing, distracting, or fighting anxiety, we learn to meet it differently — and that feels better than the habit itself. That's where the RAIN practice comes in.     RAIN: A Way to Be With Anxiety Without Escaping It RAIN stands for: R – Recognize what's happening A – Allow it to be there I – Investigate with curiosity (What does this feel like in my body?) N – Note what's happening moment to moment Here's the surprising part: When we stop trying to get rid of anxiety and simply observe it, it often passes on its own. Cravings peak and fall. Sensations rise and fade. Even when they feel like they'll last forever — they don't.     Action Steps (Try This This Week) If anxiety, overthinking, or procrastination are showing up in your life, try this: Catch the Habit Notice when anxiety turns into worrying, scrolling, or self-judgment. Ask One Question What am I getting from this right now? Practice RAIN Don't fix. Don't flee. Just observe. Change the Language Instead of "I am anxious," try: "I'm noticing anxiety in my body." Let the Wave Pass You don't have to do anything for it to end.     Resources Mentioned Unwinding Anxiety by Jud Brewer Trigger–Habit–Outcome Mapping (free worksheet referenced by Dr. Brewer) RAIN mindfulness practice Going Beyond Anxiety program (Dr. Brewer's advanced work)     Final Thought You're not broken. You're not failing. You're not missing some secret piece of information. Your brain learned a habit — and habits can be unlearned. With awareness, curiosity, and kindness, anxiety doesn't have to run your life. It can become a signal — not a sentence.

Entering the New Year is always seen as a time to make good on our intentions that got put on the back burner.

Today's episode finishes the four-part series on perinatal mental health during the holidays. It is also the final Behind the Sessions episode because life's circumstances are requiring me to shift, change, and prioritize other things as 2025 comes to a close. I will periodically add a solo episode in the future when I want to dive deeper into a relevant subject. There could even be a reduction in the frequency of episodes in 2026, as I see how my focus is needed in other areas. This shift is an example of my need to “practice what I preach” by protecting my time, space, and mental health as life changes. There is an extensive archive of episodes (almost 500 of them!) on my website from which you can search topics of interest to you. Please take advantage of the amazing resources available there! Today's episode focuses on facing the challenges of the postpartum period during the holidays. Join me! Show Highlights: Hey, Mama: You ARE doing enough! When you throw PPA or PPD into the mix, the holidays can be overwhelming. Doing ALL the things will add more stress and cause burnout. Truths about postpartum life: It's a BIG change! Worrying about social gatherings and the risk of sickness for your baby is completely normal. You may feel a greater sense of disconnect and loneliness. Watch out for the “comparison trap” that social media can cause. The potential for overstimulation is great. The underlying differences between expectations and reality Make it through the holidays in whatever ways you can—and that's okay. Holiday problems for people-pleasers An increase in pressure and a decrease in emotional bandwidth can create the perfect storm of stress. Red flags that signal a perinatal mental health condition Steps to better self-care: Manage your self-talk–your inner voice. Pause, sit, and breathe to settle your body and mind. Realize that you don't have to do everything you've always done. Add self-compassion to your life. Protect your energy by resting, limiting social engagements, and setting boundaries. Ask for help—and accept it when it's offered. The importance of reframing what the holidays mean to you You and your family deserve peace–not perfection. Prioritizing your healing over traditions, expectations, and plans is okay—and encouraged.  Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

Throughout my life, I have had the thought "I don't want to be alive anymore" more times than I can count. But what I have come to realize over time is that this is just something my brain says when I'm upset; it doesn't really mean anything other than that. It's just a reaction to being very upset and that reframing helps me feel better about it, knowing that it's not a conviction but rather just how my brain expresses negative distress. Multiple people have found this helpful, but I wonder if telling certain people this would be dismissive/triggering/etc. In a dangerous way? Do you think I should stop sharing this experience? George David's reply: Hi George, Thanks for asking. I will make this an Ask David question, if okay with you, using your first name or some other name if you prefer. Short answer: to me, this is like giving advice, to my way of thinking, and I have spent the last 40 – 50 years indicating that this is NOT an approach that's ever worked for me. Can say more on the podcast. Thanks! Warmly, david   No Name asks: Do I need to worry about my daughter's anxiety? Dear Dr. Burns, I am not very skilled at expressing how much you, Rhonda, the others and your work mean to me. So, I will just ask a question. My daughter, who has a lot of anxiety issues told me that when she has a problem, she will purposely stew over it when trying to fall asleep so that she will wake up with an answer to the problem the next morning. I cringed. Is there any way that this is a safe or helpful paradoxical technique? No name David's reply Thanks, I'll copy Rhonda. We are both grateful for your loving comments! Rhonda, we can make this an ask David if you like for a podcast. But short answer, at least, in my opinion, is that this is a cool way to use your brain. It is a skill. For example, I often get confused by a difficult statistics problem when analyzing data, and go to sleep confused. Nearly all the time, my brain wakes me up in the middle of the night with a brilliant answer. So, if she perceived is in a positive way, and isn't disturbed, you could try nourishing it, as opposed to worrying about it! We'll see what Rhonda thinks. Rhonda, I'll add this great brief question to our list for Tuesday. I am reluctant to postpone the Ask David as when we've done this in the past, we've ended up never answer at least 20 to 30 questions which are now too old to put on a podcast. Those who asked may no longer even be alive it's been so long! Warmly, david Rhonda's reply Thank you for this lovely feedback. It really means a lot to us. Your daughter is going through something so many of us experience. I am excited we can respond to your question on an Ask David podcast. Warmly, Rhonda Jeffrey asks: Can you disarm yourself? Subject: Question about using disarming technique on oneself, and also it being used against you. Endless gratitude to all of you for the pipeline of clarity and hope. I was wondering if one can use disarming on oneself. Much of the focus in feeling good seems focused on looking for and challenging our distortions, which seems the opposite of disarming. Maybe the reversal of agendas emphasized in feeling great is essentially putting the disarming back into the process in regards to ourselves. I would like to hear your thoughts on this. On a side note, if one is in a legal contention or divorce, I could see how disarming could be effective and pacifying, yet what if those admissions could be used against you. David's reply I would like to include this in an Ask David podcast, with our first name or a fake name. Please advise if okay. Short answer: the ideas and tools to treat individual mood problems, like depression, are the complete opposite of the ideas and tools to treat relationship problems. This is like matter and anti-matter. However, the Disarming Technique and the Acceptance Paradox connect these two opposed and radically different worlds. So, in a sense, you are right. The Acceptance Paradox is a lot like disarming yourself! Best, david Jeffry's reply to david Thank you for the succinct response, and I look forward to hearing it fleshed out in the podcast. I would be honored for you to mention my name: Jeffrey - from the outskirts of Jerusalem in Israel And thank you to the whole team for keeping the best things in life for free (although I do hope everyone receives the funds they need). Yet I feel converse maxim - "there's no free lunch" remains standing, app://resources/notifications.html And that is, because, as you state over and over - anybody serious in improvement must pay the price; whether in completing the daily logs, or Burns assessment quizzes, or facing your fears, challenging your assumptions or fine-tuning one's communication skills, one interaction at a time. The danger of apps, and screens in general, are the inherent passivity and superficiality they engender, so I am looking forward to seeing how this app overcomes that. Lastly, you had sought feedback as to audience preferences for podcasts: I think by now I and most regular listeners are clear in the general approaches of Team CBT, and how it differs from other schools and their adherents, so now I benefit most from the role playing to crystallize and internalize its application. I would also be willing to forego multiple scenarios in each session in order to spend more time reiterating and clarifying individual scenarios - assuming that David, Rhonda, Matt, etc, have the willingness to keep going. Keep on keeping us learning and laughing. Jeffrey David's reply Thanks for the kindly and thoughtful note. We'll certainly try, but as you say, there's no free lunch and no guarantees! We are sometimes just hanging on! I like your recommendation for podcasts: more role playing I think to bring techniques and ideas to life. Warmly, david Thanks, for listening! David and Rhonda
