  • Open to pseudoscience

    Used to enjoy this show a bit, but some of the content lately has been really promoting pseudoscience (telepathic Suzy Miller). I find it concerning. My recommendation is to be picky with which episodes you listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Michael Singer, Tony Robbins, Sage Robbins: Wisdom Untethered
Q: What is intuition and how can you distinguish it from mental projections?
Intuition flows without trying to think it through, arising from a higher consciousness when the mind is quiet, whereas mental projections are deliberate constructions shaped by fear or desire.
Tian Dayton: If You Grew Up with Addicts, Healing Is a Discipline
Q: What practical exercises can listeners try to begin their own healing journey?
Dayton highlights letter writing, timelines, social atoms, and chair dialogue as accessible practices to build awareness, reframe experiences, and strengthen intersubjective connection even when not in a formal RTR setting.
Tian Dayton: If You Grew Up with Addicts, Healing Is a Discipline
Q: What is Relational Trauma Repair, and how does it differ from event-centered trauma therapies?
RTR focuses on the chronic, relational drain of caregiver-dysregulated environments, using psychodrama, role reversal, and embodied exercises to rewire nervous system patterns and improve emotional literacy within a group or family context.
Tian Dayton: If You Grew Up with Addicts, Healing Is a Discipline
Q: Tell us about your personal story of Growing Up with Addiction and how that informed the writing of this book.
Dayton explains that addiction disrupted a once happy family, with a father who struggled with alcoholism; through those experiences she learned how trauma creates cognitive distortions and lasting patterns, which informed her understanding of dysfunction and healing.
Cody Cook-Parrott: Attention is a Creative Act
Q: Tell me how you came to write a book on the practice of attention.
Cody explains the motivation came from Instagram addiction and the desire to help artists focus and regain agency, which evolved into writing The Practice of Attention.
