Wellness + Wisdom Podcast If Talk Therapy Worked, You’d Feel Better: Mike Zeller Reveals New MDMA Therapy Breakthrough
Are your unresolved childhood wounds hijacking your relationships and keeping you stuck in depression or anxiety?
Neuro-Rewiring Expert Mike Zeller joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 748, to share how healing your protector parts can transform conflict into deeper connection and trust, why psychedelics can reopen critical social learning periods and give you access to the hidden programming of your mind, and how to move from fear-driven protector parts into authentic flow state.
"Our core longing as human beings is connection and love. We think that the wounded, victim, angry self is who we are because that part is in the driver's seat, and we're identified with that feeling. When we do the neuro-rewiring work, we separate that enmeshment. And because of that separation, we can now recognize the patterns and awareness instead of being in it so much that we can't see." - Mike Zeller

Power Quotes From The Show Exile Protector Parts"Exile protector parts are there to protect something that was vulnerable, something that happened in our life where we got taken advantage of, or someone was really harsh with us. It's something that's unprocessed. That protector part is wrecking havoc and we're losing energy. We want those parts in harmony. So we have to gently invite that part back into our psyche, make sure that part feels safe even when he or she has a little bit of a flare up, then approach again with gentleness. So then the flare up becomes less and less." - Mike Zeller
Relationship Will Trigger Your Wounds"Our core wounds are often going to be activated in a very precise and needed way from our partner. That means that my wife's core wounds and my core wounds are perfectly in friction. So if I left, then I would have cowarded out on dealing with my core stuff." - Mike Zeller
What Is The Driving Force of High-Achieving Men?"High-achieving men are high-achieving because they want love and they're clamoring for love. They think their pathway to get there is to excel and be perfect. They’re working hard so that their partners will love them, even though their partners already do love them. They don't have to do all those things. Instead, they can achieve from the state of 'I'm already loved and I'm already worthy and I just want to offer my gifts to the world.'" - Mike Zeller
