This book explores how toxic shame is the core motivator behind various toxic behaviors such as compulsion, co-dependency, addiction, and the drive to superachieve. It explains how these behaviors can break down family systems and destroy personal lives. Bradshaw provides techniques to identify, understand, and address the root causes of shame, and offers methods such as affirmations, visualizations, 'inner voice' and 'feeling' work, and guided meditations to release and heal from this shame. The book emphasizes the importance of recognizing and working through internalized shame to achieve wholeness and well-being[2][4][5].
In 'Smarter Not Harder,' Dave Asprey exposes the surprising secrets of the body's operating system, or 'MeatOS,' which is naturally designed to be lazy. He shows how to hack this system to achieve optimum wellness by exercising and eating smarter, not harder, and utilizing the body's built-in laziness. The book is packed with practical information on better eating, smart workouts, and strategic therapies to reduce stress and boost resilience, aiming to upgrade metabolic, neurological, and epigenetic systems.
In 'Fear of Life', Alexander Lowen delves into the complexities of neurotic behavior, arguing that it arises from an unconscious fear of life. He emphasizes the importance of accepting failure and one's fate as a path to healing and personal growth. Lowen's approach involves understanding the interplay between psychological and physical tension, advocating for the release of inner tensions to unlock human potential.
In 'Own Your Self', Dr. Kelly Brogan offers a provocative approach to mental health by challenging the conventional reliance on pharmaceuticals. She guides readers through a journey of understanding symptoms as vital experiences rather than pathologies, and provides tools for radical physical healing and spiritual awakening. The book includes a 30-day protocol for healing and explores themes of emotional inventory and spiritual expansion.
IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… Dr. Kelly Brogan shares why her views often go against conventional thinking—on topics from pharmaceuticals to sex to pole dancing to relationship compatibility.
She's a psychiatrist who specializes in psychosomatic medicine and integrative holistic medicine. Her root-cause resolution approach to psychiatric syndromes and symptoms coupled with other support techniques helps women reclaim their divine feminine power.
I previously talked with Dr. Kelly on episode #635 about her book, "Own Your Self: The Surprising Path Beyond Depression, Anxiety, and Fatigue to Reclaiming Your Authenticity, Vitality, and Freedom.”
This romp of a discussion tackles women’s power and what it means to claim or reclaim it. And how women themselves can be harmful critics of other women’s choices.
Dr. Kelly went through profound personal changes over the past few years that led to changes in her business, too. Changes that rattled some people and brought out the worst kind of social media attention. She talks about how she’s stayed firmly in her choices and offers tips for you to do the same. She also gets into why the differences in feminine and masculine power matter now more than ever. It starts with your relationship with yourself.
This fun, informative interview gets a little wild and shares profound insights you can apply to your next life move.
