Talks with Dr Shafer

On this Short Talk on Talks with Dr. Shafer, Dr Shafer discusses the concepts of fear and reconditioning thanks to neuroplasticity. Dr Shafer shares her personal journey of overcoming doubt and conditioned responses that hindered her growth. Through self-awareness and understanding the origins of her reactions, she emphasizes the importance of breaking free from maladaptive coping mechanisms and embracing new responses. This Short Talk highlights the role of neuroplasticity in healing and the significance of acknowledging emotions as part of the journey towards reclaiming one's story and autonomy. Takeaways: Reconditioning involves understanding and changing our responses to fear or other stimuli we may have developed maladaptive responses to. Breaking free from conditioned responses requires intentional effort. Neuroplasticity allows us to adapt and heal over time. Acknowledging emotions is crucial for personal growth. Old survival mechanisms we learned in early life may no longer serve us as adults. Self-discovery is key to understanding our behaviors. Upholding autonomy is essential for happiness. Small incremental changes can lead to significant improvements. Emotions should be acknowledged, not suppressed. Soundbites: "Doubt never really seems to go away completely." "Breaking conditioning requires intent, action, and consistent accountability."

The Attack on Blake Lively and Weaponized Distraction in Domestic Violence Trigger Warning: Domestic Violence is Discussed On this Short Talk on Talks with Dr. Shafer, Dr Shafer explores the importance of our attention, using the timely discussion surrounding Blake Lively's media tour in support of her new film, It Ends with Us as an example of the cost of distraction. The world is in competition for our most precious resources: time and energy. The distraction surrounding Blake Lively and the important cause of bringing light to Domestic Violence victims and survivors is being overshadowed, less by the actions of the actress herself, but more by the overwhelming response to it. Dr Shafer highlights the tendency to vilify individuals who speak out about important issues as well as the tendency to vilify and criticize victims of domestic abuse themselves should they speak up about their lived traumatic experiences. Dr Shafer urges listeners to focus on supporting survivors of domestic abuse and how resources like the movie It Ends with Us can serve to bring attention to the issue so that we can begin to do the work to have the difficult conversations and make the world a safer place.  Keywords #attention #blakelively #press #distraction #itendswithuse #price #resources #domesticabuse #domesticviolence #intimatepartnerviolence #survivors #villain #support #advocacy #podcast #physician #growth #story #storytelling takeaways Every choice we make is a trade-off, and we must consider the price of where we direct our attention. Survivors of domestic abuse often face vilification and ridicule when they speak out, creating further barriers to seeking safety. We should focus our energy on supporting survivors and using resources like movies to bring attention to important issues. We all have the opportunity to do better in how we view and discuss domestic abuse and support victims. The Price of Attention Vilification of Survivors "What's the price? We have to get in the habit of always asking, what is the price?" "She's vilified not for her efforts to bring light to the experience of women suffering from domestic violence." "Can we focus our energy on the fact that this movie exists, that so many people are bravely telling and sharing this story with the world?" We Hope You Enjoy Today’s Powerful Episode.

Our Tolerance For Making Mistakes After Having An Intolerant, Unpredictable Early Life Caregiver In this Short Talk on Talks with Dr Shafer, Dr. Shafer discusses how our attitudes towards growth and our tolerance for making mistakes can be affected after growing up with intolerant or unpredictable caregivers. Dr Shafer explores how being trained to believe that criticism is love can affect our ability to accept kindness and praise. Dr. Shafer emphasizes the importance of understanding the patterns we learned from our caregivers and how they shape our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, and to see the opportunity for creating a new mindset, setting the stage for healthier relationships and a happier life. She encourages listeners to embrace neuroplasticity and the potential for growth, even if it requires pruning old connections and reworking thoughts, habits, and relationships.
