The lady's laughter during the episode is getting really annoying, could u plz tell her stop laughing like that?
I’m listening to your podcast from Iran . Don’t forget to pray for us . Thanks 🙏🏻
This is my first time listening to this show. I love the name of the podcast and when I saw the topic of guilt plus Dr. Nicole as a guest i knew i had to listen. She is amazing. BUT what a huge disappointment. Why even have Dr. nicole on the show if you don't even give her any airtime or space to talk. You guys clearly already have all the answers. Reminded me of all the meetings at work where the men are the smartest guys in the room and just love hearing themselves talk and don't give even the subject matter experts at the meeting time to talk. ugh. as I'm writing this I keep thinking is she even still on this show? Why even bother inviting her. what a disappointment. never listening to this show again.
Happy new year 🌱
these days in Iran , we have fluctuate internet 🤦🏻♂️
great
What the caller describes is likely a result if Childhood Trauma. It sounds like CPTSD rather than just inner conflict. The shame spiral sounds like emotional disregulation. The shame is an inner critic. I would reccomend reading Pete Walkers books on CPTSD. I don't like how the advice here puts the blame onto the caller " how's he is reacting is causing him shame". Thats fine for someone who is not disregulated from trauma, but with CPTSD its not so simple. Radical Acceptance and accepting emotions is a good and so is thinking about the second arrow, etc...but simply learning how to live with it isn't good for someone who suffers from emotional dysregulation. There is no learning how to live with it....there is healing and it does get better but it takes a different approach. when someone is disregulated they can't just choose to forget the lesson they learned. The brain is hijacked. it's not possible to think through it. everything you picked up can be put down is just so wrong. it assumes that this person is capable of just choosing to stop or think through their issue, but we have to acknowledge how the brain actually functions which makes it impossible to do that. the dishes in the sink story is a normal situation. she was tired and grumpy. she paused. that's great. that's totally different from what the caller described.
If you have never experienced true love before and do not know what it looks like, as well as how you will feel real chemistry between you and your partner, then I recommend you to check out this site https://wisedate.net/ . Because there's an excellent article about the 10 signs of chemistry and Togo that you've found the right match.
help please
First time I sow us when I watched Mat D’Avella, I found you 😁
Was wonderful 👌🏻🌱

does your podcast have transcript?

Not having internet is a privilege. I couldn't support my family without internet. Getting "out" requires resources as well including transportation and the ability to get to a place where you use internet. Stop pushing your privilege on others.
What would you say about someone who brings out the worst in you? You’re talking about it’s still a version of ourselves which of course is true but how would you overcome that or make a situation better with someone you have to be around but it just makes you feel negative & brings out the worst traits in yourself?
hahaha I love the debate!
انا بحبك
Wish more people would know the podcast, let's safe the human species.
