These teachings have been distilled into the in-depth programs, courses, and modules inside of The Personal Development School. Here are some of things we talked about in today’s podcast: Attachment styles are subconscious rules we have for love and connection that are formed in childhood. Our subconscious mind plays a significant role in our beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and actions. Core wounds from childhood are stored in the subconscious mind and can impact our relationships. Reprogramming core wounds can be done through techniques like autosuggestion and meeting our unmet needs.  Coping mechanisms are subconscious strategies to meet our needs or provide relief from negative thoughts and beliefs. Understanding and addressing core wounds is crucial for developing healthier coping mechanisms. Setting boundaries around coping mechanisms can be beneficial for emotional well-being. Practicing vulnerability in small increments through exposure work can help individuals overcome their fear of unpacking uncomfortable emotions and experiences. Self-compassion is essential on the journey of healing, and taking responsibility for personal growth is key to creating positive change.

Today's podcast is sponsored by my BKF Online Program:  https://briankeanefitness.com/bkf-online   Russell is an MD and Anxiety/Neuroscience Expert.  As a physician, somatic intuitive, certified yoga instructor, meditation teacher, and a professional stand-up comedian who struggled with crippling anxiety for decades and has finally healed, he is here to personally guide people through non-traditional treatments for anxiety.  Using a combination of neuroscience, somatic work and psychedelics, he’s uncovered a brand-new way of approaching and healing anxiety in himself and his patients. Instead of your anxiety completely controlling you, he will show you how to completely control your anxiety. He is also the author of the book Anxiety Rx A New Prescription for Anxiety Relief from the Doctor Who Created It.   Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:  Anxiety is deeply rooted in the body and requires a somatic approach for effective treatment. The alarm anxiety cycle explains the connection between trauma, body sensations, and anxious thoughts. Psychedelics and alternative therapies offer potential solutions for anxiety relief, but somatic therapy is a crucial foundation for healing. Understanding the body-mind disconnect and addressing childhood trauma are essential for managing anxiety. The resistance to body-based therapy and the role of addictions in avoiding self-love are important considerations in anxiety treatment. Psychedelics can be a potential treatment for anxiety, but the timing and approach are crucial. Anxiety creates a sense of control, and psychedelics take away that sense of control, making it challenging for individuals with anxiety. Uncertainty is the foundation of healing, and embracing uncertainty is essential for overcoming anxiety.   Book : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anxiety-Rx-Prescription-Relief-Created/dp/1734426543/ref=asc_df_1734426543/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=499348463277&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11067959462576997982&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=2372&hvtargid=pla-1001395589482&psc=1&mcid=2c7796345a5d38529003224b9d23db83&th=1&psc=1   (Website) home (mykajabi.com) (LinkedIn) Dr. Russell Kennedy - Russell G Kennedy B.Sc, MD | LinkedIn (Youtube) Dr Russell Kennedy - THE ANXIETY MD - YouTube (Tiktok) Dr. Russell Kennedy (@theanxietymd) | TikTok (Facebook) Facebook (Podcast and most recent Social media post) Russell Kennedy, MD + Anxiety/Neuroscience Expert (@theanxietymd) • Instagram photos and videos

David is one of the world’s foremost experts on grief and loss.    His experience with thousands of people on the edge of life and death has taught him the secrets to living a happy and fulfilled life, even afterlife’s tragedies.    He is the author of six books, including his most recent bestselling book, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief. He co authored two books with Elisabeth Kubler Ross, including On Grief and Grieving updated her 5 stages for grief. His first book, The Needs of The Dying received praise from Saint (Mother) Teresa.   David’s personal experience as a child witnessing a mass shooting while his mother was dying in a hospital helped him begin his journey. For most of his life, David has taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about the end of life, trauma, and grief.    He facilitates talks, workshops and retreats for those experiencing grief. However, despite his vast knowledge on grief, his life was turned upside down by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. It inspired him to write his newest book, Finding Meaning.   He is someone whose work has had a profound impact on my life in recent months and the world is truly a better place because of him being here.  He is also the founder of www.grief.com which has over five million visits yearly from 167 countries.   Here are some of things we talked about in today’s podcast:  The worst loss is the one you're going through; comparing losses only harms yourself. Heartbreak is a form of grief, and all endings are a type of death. The stages of grief are not a linear process; everyone experiences them differently. Changing the story we tell ourselves about grief can help in the healing process. Grief must be witnessed by others; isolation only prolongs the healing journey. Our true essence is love, and all other voices are our old wounds. Allow yourself to walk through the pain and face it, as running from it will only prolong the healing process. Grief is messy and non-linear; it's important to allow the messiness and be with where you are. Be with your grief but don't let it become your identity; find healing by not letting past events control your decisions and actions. Finding meaning in grief and loss is about who we become and how we show up in the world.       (Website) Grief.com (Instagram) David Kessler (@iamdavidkessler) • Instagram photos and videos (Twitter) David Kessler (@IamDavidKessler) / X (twitter.com) (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/IamDavidKessler (LinkedIn) David Kessler, FACHE - Grief.com | LinkedIn (Youtube) David Kessler - YouTube (Pinterest) David Kessler (davidkessler) - Profile | Pinterest
