The Power of Faith in Trauma Recovery

In this thought-provoking podcast episode, I dive deep into the impact of faith and trauma in our lives.

Childhood trauma often shakes our faith in the world, burdening us with a belief that everything relies on our shoulders, especially for sensitive individuals.

The central message revolves around faith as an antidote to worry and anxiety.

I discuss the tendency to lose our authentic selves while trying to protect others, even if those we protect are negative influences, while introducing the concept of "objecting without contracting," where we refrain from tightening or resisting when faced with worries.

This practice can break the cycle of anxiety and help us trust that the universe can protect us, ultimately leading to a more secure and peaceful life.

The Inner Critic: Exploring JABS in Anxiety

In this episode, I want to introduce you to an acronym I've created called JABS: Judgment, Abandonment, Blame, and Shame, primarily directed inward.

These emotional punches not only impact us but reverberate through our relationships and daily lives.

Anxiety often has roots in unresolved childhood trauma stored in our bodies, not just our thoughts. Self-judgment can activate a cycle of self-criticism, hindering our nervous system regulation.

Healing begins with self-awareness. Recognizing self-judgment, self-abandonment, self-blame, and self-shame patterns is the first step toward transformation. Empower yourself by establishing a compassionate connection with your inner child. You have the power to change your narrative.

I would like to note that this podcast is going to be REPETITIVE and it’s designed that way. It is repetitive because I want to get into the deeper subcortical parts of your brain where the voice of the inner critic is stored.

Together, we explore the intricate relationship between physical and emotional health.

We discuss how anxiety can have a bidirectional impact on our well-being and how it's often rooted in our subconscious programming.

Dr. Brown's "Notice, Accept, Choose Again" approach provides a practical framework to navigate and transcend anxiety.

Join us in this transformative conversation as we discuss the importance of embracing discomfort, understanding the role of resistance, and the power of connecting with our younger wounded self.

By addressing these aspects, we can rewire our inner narratives, foster healing, creativity, and a shift from fear to love.

Welcome back to another episode!

In my most vulnerable moments, battling with the crippling grip of anxiety, the thought haunted me: "Is this it? Is this life?". It was a cycle of fear that I lived in, punctuated only by fleeting moments of happiness.

Navigating the Inability to Receive

In today's episode, I share an intimate reflection on my own journey through understanding my avoidant attachment style, the challenges of truly connecting, and the pervading sense of loneliness that can shadow success.

Drawing from my own experiences, I uncover the roots of our human tendency to both crave and fear connection and how our past shapes our present behavior.

I delve into the power of self-soothing, the dangers of external validation, and the weight of unchecked negative perceptions.

This is a conversation about embracing pain, understanding our inherent biases, and beginning the transformative journey of self-connection.

Join me as we explore the profound impact of recognizing our patterns and how, by connecting deeply with ourselves, we can pave the way to more authentic relationships with ourselves and others.

Primal Instincts: Science, Psychology, Fear

Dive into the intricate dance between our primal instincts and modern anxieties.

In this week's episode, my friend Arash Javanbakht, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, and I unpack how our 'animal brains' still dictate much of our reactions, particularly fear - a survival tool turned complex emotion.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

We'll journey through the intriguing landscape of human emotion, discussing how our past traumas shape our present relationships, whom we're drawn to or what feels 'normal,' even when it's harmful and why calmness can feel so unsettling.

Learn how our 'worry buckets' compel us toward a cycle of anxiety, how our brain's confirmation bias reinforces our fears, and why those old fear programs never truly leave us.

This is more than a discussion—it's a pathway to understanding and harnessing your brain's ancient mechanisms in your modern life.

Anxiety Simplified: The Real Reason You Feel Anxious

Welcome to another episode of the AnxietyRx podcast. Today I dive into the roots of anxiety.

Dr. Gordon Neufeld once said, "All anxiety is separation anxiety," and I couldn't agree more. Anxiety often comes from two key separations.

First, there's the disconnect between our mind and body. When we get stuck in our heads, we lose touch with our bodies and the calming sensations of the present moment.

The second separation is between our adult and child selves. The adult might avoid the child self's pain, creating a trust issue.

Early traumas often create this background alarm in our bodies, as I talk about in my book AnxietyRx. Our brain interprets this alarm through interoception, shaping negative narratives based on our deepest fears. The more we focus on these negative thoughts, the more they manifest in our lives.

To break this cycle, we must reconnect with our bodies and the inner child. It might feel forced at first, but it's the path to genuine healing. Other therapies are just coping mechanisms, not real healing.

The key to lasting comfort and healing is integrating our mind, body, adult self, and child self.
