Weight, Emotion, and the Body's Safety Signals

In this powerful and honest conversation, Josh Trent sits down as a guest with Abel James to explore the invisible emotional forces that shape our lives. Josh opens the curtain on inherited wounds, identity collapse, childhood conditioning, and the real cost of carrying pain that does not belong to us.

This is one of the most open and grounded dialogues yet on how emotional patterns become biological programming and how we can finally break free.

Josh shares stories he has never told publicly, including the moments that cracked him open and led him to become an Identity Transformation Architect. From losing a career and a relationship in the same season, to caring for a parent in deep mental struggle, to realizing he was carrying seven generations of emotional weight, this episode goes straight to the core of what it means to heal.

Abel and Josh explore the matrix of control that keeps people stuck in survival patterns, why podcasting became free therapy, and how the seventh generation principle can change the trajectory of an entire family line. They unpack burnout, men's emotional work, why so many high performers break down in private, and what emotional epigenetics reveals about our inherited burdens.

If you have ever felt like you are living with pain that does not match your life story, this episode gives you a map and a mirror. You will walk away with a deeper understanding of why you are not broken, only burdened, and how to rebuild your identity from the inside out.
