  • Moves much too fast!

    The content on this podcast is top notch, but things move way too fast. I am a mental health professional and yet I feel bombarded and overwhelmed by too many new terms and concepts here. I want to love it and I would if things would slow down a bit.

  • Training?

    I’m a licensed psychotherapist & came to this pod to see what I could learn. I searched and could not find the podcasters to have actual university degrees in neuroscience or psychology. I can hear them talking about their loved experience with cptsd and their experiences leading people thru healing, but actual education matters (and not just a few weeklong trainings). Especially when working g with trauma, it’s important to have the deep context of a years long formal education. It also sounds ... more

  • Too scripted now

    I used to love this podcast but it’s become way too scripted and like they’re just reading AI. What happened to actual conversations?? It’s hard to discern what’s original though or grounded in research vs what’s just AI information.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sexual Fawning: When Survival Gets Mistaken for Intimacy
Q: I do have a question about sexual fawning. When we engage in sexual fawning, are we breaking a body boundary violation with ourselves in our sexual organs to our bodies that is, is it adding on to the damage that has already happened in a sexually abusive place?
Absolutely. Developmental sexual trauma creates patterns where fawning becomes a recurring way to manage boundary violations. Every instance of sexual fawning can feel like another violation, reinforcing the trauma response and making it harder to experience authentic pleasure without triggering protective patterns.
From Survival to Learning: Why Motivation Shuts Down Under Chronic Stress
Q: What happens to memory and how does it affect learning under chronic stress?
Chronic stress can disrupt memory formation and recall, leading to difficulty in learning and a shift in focus from curiosity to survival.
Inside the Jealous Mind: What Neuroscience Reveals About Threat, Envy, and the Drive for Connection
Q: Why would a feeling that's so uncomfortable actually have an adaptive role?
Jealousy has deep roots in human survival, as it helps in maintaining bonds that connect us to resources and protection.
Inside the Jealous Mind: What Neuroscience Reveals About Threat, Envy, and the Drive for Connection
Q: Could you please share a bit about yourself and your work and why this topic of jealousy is so important to you?

Post Traumatic Growth vs Post Traumatic Wisdom; Emotional Processing and Female Nervous System AUDIO
