Body Confidence

Aging is an inevitable part of life, but we each have a unique relationship with it. Some of us embrace it with open arms and don't buy into the idea of a "gay death" at a certain age. Others struggle with aging and cling to our youth and relevance as each year passes. In this episode of Gay Men Going Deeper, we’re talking about our own relationship to aging and what it means to “age well.”  Some of the questions we’ll be unpacking are:  What has been your relationship to aging? What do you like and dislike about aging? Where do your ideas/beliefs about aging come from? How would you define “aging well” on your own terms? Who is someone who you perceive to have “aged well”?

Unconscious bias refers to the internal biases or attitudes that influence our interactions and behaviour towards others.  We all have these deeply ingrained biases that unfortunately can hinder our efforts to build a more diverse and inclusive community.  In today's episode, we are sharing our experience with Unconscious Bias in hopes that it will help contribute to embracing greater acceptance and belonging. Some of the questions we'll be unpacking:  What are some unconscious biases you currently have or have had in the past? Where did they come from? How do you discern between preferences and prejudices? How can we become aware of these biases and change them to be more inclusive?  By acknowledging unconscious bias and working to mitigate its impact, we can celebrate a more inclusive queer community that values the diverse experiences of all individuals.

Healing Shame

Developing your sense of worthiness from within you is fundamental to living authentically as you become less attached to the opinions of others, and more focused on living in integrity with your personal core values.  This episode covers topics such as:  What gets in the way of feeling internally validated? How exactly do you do it? What does your self-worth come from? What makes you feel valued?  Join us for this discussion that will help you start feeling more worthy right here and now.

External and Internal Validation (Part 2)

Having a healthy sense of self-worth means balancing both external and internal validation. External validation is when you derive your self-worth from sources outside of yourself while Internal validation is when your self-worth comes from within.  Unfortunately, many people rely on the external at the expense of the internal, thereby creating a situation where you are hustling to prove yourself to others and are over-sensitive to their criticism.   In this special two-part series, we’re welcoming back to the show, Reno Johnston, to discuss how we can develop a more secure sense of self-worth using both external and internal validation.  In part 1, we’ll be focusing on the external by discussing things like:  Why do we crave external validation? In what ways do gay men typically seek it? What are the benefits? When does does become an issue?

Sex and Intimacy (part 1)

In this episode, Matt Landsiedel interviews Ed Cohen about the science of healing. Ed shares a holistic perspective on healing and how we can begin to reclaim our authority over our health from systems that can easily fail us if we become too passive. We explore how the mind and body are intrinsically connected when it comes to health and healing, and that it is important to search for deeper meaning when our body is expressing illness in any form. If you are someone who suffers from chronic illness, this episode will definitely shine a fresh perspective on healing for you.   The concepts we explored in this episode are:  What does it mean to heal Curing vs. healing  How our culture places so much emphasis on external healing and asks us to give away our authority to professionals  The ways in which modern medicine is failing us Psychosomatics: how the mental and emotional impact the physical body  The importance of finding meaning in your illness   Connect with Ed:  Website: www.healingcounsel.com Instagram: @healingcounsel Take the Attachment Style Quiz!
