    Empowered Recovery #1
    Nov 8 2024
    EMPOWERED RECOVERY ("ER") is protecting our sobriety, trauma healing, and spiritual growth from the toxic emotion of shame, or a feeling that our trauma and/or addiction means we are flawed, defective, and unworthy of acceptance and love. In this series, WE empower recovery together by learning how to identify, remove, and shift shame-based thoughts and emotions from being harmful and separating, to being healing and connecting. Let's lower the number of addiction and mental health related emergency room (ER) visits and empower recovery instead by banning all shame related to such struggles both within and around us, manifesting a more healed, compassionate, and supportive world for all!

  • Freedom from the Blame Game

    Freedom from the Blame Game
    Oct 25 2024
    When one person blames another person for something bad or unfortunate, and never, or rarely, attempts to own their part and find a solution, a "Blame Game" exists. Blame games are confusing, frustrating, painful, and emotionally exhausting experiences. No one wants to be in one, so why are they so common and seemingly drawn out? A blame game will continue "UNLESS and UNTIL BOTH individuals sit with their own discomfort first," Dr. Poulter explains, emphasizing that, by accepting responsibility for our own feelings, acts, and emotions, we are courageously vulnerable, which true intimacy requires. So how can we free ourselves from an existing blame game? How do we prevent one from happening in the first place? Listen into this episode to receive specific steps you can take and never find yourself in one again! FREE TIP SHEET GIVE BACK FOLLOW DR.STEVE Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Power of Silence with Priya Jain

    The Power of Silence with Priya Jain
    Oct 4 2024
    "Silence is the warmest hug you can ever receive," Priya Jain explains, Founder Seventh Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences. So why are we so afraid of it? Why do we fill our days with a sensory overload to the point we actually believe it is reality. It isn't. "Reality" exists in the non-tangible truths of life - in our heart, intuition, and knowing - all of which are available to us through silence. The challenge is that silence requires us to put down our ego and simply just be, exactly as we are in the moment. It took time and effort for Nadia to learn how to do this, and to this day it is a challenge, so she committed to do a silent retreat next month. In this episode, she asks Priya for motivation and gets it. "Silence is absolute acceptance as you are, however you are. It is unconditional love," she says. Underneath the turbulence of waves around you is an ocean of love and power within you. If Nadia reached it, so can you!

  • Part 2 "You gotta hug the cactus" with Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD

    Part 2 "You gotta hug the cactus" with Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD
    Sep 20 2024
    Studies show 83% of men want their partner to respect them, rather than love them, an astounding statistic "when many have not yet learned to do the work" to earn it, Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD, explains, author of "Modern Masculinity, A Compassionate Guide to Men's Mental Health" and "The Shame Factor." What is "the work"? "'Hugging the cactus' is learning to sit with discomfort," the unresolved emotions and issues within, Dr. Steve says. "Before "the pain outweighs the pleasure," physical symptoms persist, or crises hits, "you have to FIRST DECIDE TO DO THE WORK" he emphasizes. It may sound harsh, but in this episode he also gives specific steps to begin the process of transforming shame into power! YOU CAN DO IT and create a sense of home within. You are not alone and we are right by your side the whole way.
