We have often had people who have a single belief of who and what they are. It’s not that they’re wrong for that, it that they had never tried to challenge it before. People who were “superior” to them had given diagnosis and those were taken to heart. Today we’ll talk about it more. Have a listen.

Highlights:

• A lot of people we encounter had their mom, their teacher, their mentor tell them something and that’s never been challenged. (13:10)
• Internally, I don’t want to put the keys in the lock that are almost a fit, but to a perfect fit. I’d rather make them on the inside. (19:20)
• Medical doctors aren’t always right and I think they would appreciate if we said; I don’t think that’s accurate and here’s why. And together you could figure out a solution. (30:30)
• Trauma is not a thing and if me saying that is upsetting, then maybe its an invitation to set down all that. (39:15)

This one’s for the women. A man’s “addiction” to pornography doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with you or that you need to change. It is just the way that his body has found to cope with his discomfort. We’re going to talk about this more today. Have a listen.

Highlights:

• Because the “addiction” is no longer sexual, we look at; what are they coping with? (15:50)
• Depression, shame, and guilt are all mechanisms that are engaged in order to solve an ongoing problem. (17:25)
• It’s a chasing of a sensation all because, the person is unconscious of the way that they have built discomfort into their lifestyle. (25:35)
• Women, there is nothing wrong with you. And if the guy is wanting to change, that is evidence that he cares and that you are enough. (36:20)

If you’re going to get help with something, at least get good help. Ruminating on the problem won’t solve it, so find someone or something that looks at the source, not the symptom. We’ll talk about this more today. Have a listen.

Highlights:

• Do you really want validation on your trauma? (5:20)
• If you don’t want things to continue down their current path, validation will not get you to another place. (7:20)
• When bad help becomes the main source, it causes rumination on the symptoms, and not on the causes. (16:50)
• If you’re going to get help, then get good help. (:)
