044: How changing your brain patterns can change your life with Adele Spraggon

Becca Ribbing is the author of The Clarity Journal and has been a coach for over a decade. She's on a mission to help people break out of the cycles of uncertainty and struggle that hold them back. She helps women going back and forth with the big, seemingly endless question of what to do next—so they can stop going around in circles and finally figure out what they truly want and create the clarity and momentum they crave. In today's episode we're talking about how to be more honest with yourself. Here are some of the questions that Becca helps answer for us!  Why is it that sometimes it feels like self-care should make us happier but really it’s just a band aid because it’s not getting at why we feel depleted in the first place?     What may be some of the reasons why we feel depleted? What are some of the “signs” that we’re not aligning with ways that self-care can actually help serve us?   What are more effective ways that we can self-care? Can you describe for us what that looks like in a way that gives us energy instead of taking it away? How can we recognize when what we’re doing isn’t working anymore? What does it mean to “be more honest with yourself”? What does “being more honest with yourself” look like? How can we start facing things head on?   If you're ready to be honest with yourself, check out Becca's book "The Clarity Journal" on Amazon.

037:  How to use the 3 pillars to self-heal with Fallon Moran

Gena was born in New Zealand where her roots run deep but now lives in Australia where she is able to blossom and grow. She is a wife, momma of 3, and business owner. She specializes in Energy healing and Guidance readings but her true calling is to help others tap into their inner power for their own healing experience. She had been that person that struggled in the past due to traumatic events out of her control. She looked high and low for help and answers but it wasn't until she started to go deeper into herself, listen to her body and intuition that she was able to understand that this wasn’t something someone else could fix for her. It was then that she realized it was inside of her all along, and this was the start of TRUE healing. Here are the questions that Gena answers for us today:  What led you to get into energy healing?

Gena was born in New Zealand where her roots run deep but now lives in Australia where she is able to blossom and grow. She is a wife, momma of 3, and business owner. She specializes in Energy healing and Guidance readings but her true calling is to help others tap into their inner power for their own healing experience. She had been that person that struggled in the past due to traumatic events out of her control. She looked high and low for help and answers but it wasn't until she started to go deeper into herself, listen to her body and intuition that she was able to understand that this wasn’t something someone else could fix for her. It was then that she realized it was inside of her all along, and this was the start of TRUE healing. Here are the questions that Gena answers for us today: <ol> <li>What led you to get into energy healing? </li> <li>How did you learn how to tap into your inner power? </li> <li>Can you share with us more about sexual trauma and some of the effects for adults? </li> <li>How can our listeners begin their own healing journey? </li> <li>Which chakras are affected by sexual trauma? </li> <li>Can you share more with us about these chakras and how to heal them to heal sexual trauma?</li> </ol> Please go check out her beautiful website at: <a href="https://haumanu.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://haumanu.com.au/</a> Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/GenaLAbbott1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/GenaLAbbott1</a> --- Send in a voice message: <a href="https://anchor.fm/foundfamily/message" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/foundfamily/message</a> Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/foundfamily/support" rel="payment nofollow" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/foundfamily/support</a>

Tracy Shawn

What we'll learn today:  The interconnectedness between thoughts and feelings Examples of triggers and how they affect the body Ways that we can best manage triggers Self-awareness exercises - how we can take inventory of our feelings and emotions Understanding our basic human needs and how to make them work for us to manage anxiety  Speaker and author Tracy Shawn is a passionate “anxiety warrior,” who writes and speaks about how to pull oneself out of the trenches of stress, anxiety, and worry.

"If [you're] having a really hard time right now...tomorrow it may not be as hard as it is right now..."  18:20 - Going to sleep with your to-do list in mind "...amplifies the feeling of stress...start taking inventory [of your feelings] before we go to sleep... push your own 'happy trigger buttons' before you go to sleep...  22:17 - Write 3 things to manage a "What if?" thought "...an intervention when we're thinking the "what if?"... so that it helps not only throughout the day but also at night...3 seems to be the 'magic number'...the brain remembers things more clearly...in sets of 3..." 24:20 - The power of questions - [new way of thinking] ...

020: How We Can Trigger Ourselves - And What To Do About It with Tracy Shawn

Brain Lock: Step 2 - Reattribute  “Unlocking your brain” Helps answer the question:  “why don’t these bothersome thoughts, urges, and behaviors go away?” Information: There is now strong scientific evidence that in OCD a part of your brain that works much like a gearshift in a car is not working properly. Your brain gets “stuck in gear”. This is why it’s hard for you to shift behaviors.  At UCLA they use the mind’s own power to actually change the chemistry in the brain. No neurosurgery needed. You can do it with your mind. Using the Impartial Spectator you can distance yourself from your OCD by creating a gap or safety zone  Reattribute step intensifies the mindful-awareness process.  Reattribute helps us understanding why the thought is so strong and why it won’t go away is the key to increasing your willpower and enabling you to fight off the urge to check or wash Changing your behavioral responses to the uncomfortable feelings and shifting to useful and constructive behaviors will, over time, make the broken gearshift become unstuck  Scientific facts: The Orbital Cortex: the brain’s ‘error-detection circuit”.

Brain Lock: Step 2 - Reattribute “Unlocking your brain” Helps answer the question: “why don’t these bothersome thoughts, urges, and behaviors go away?” Information: There is now strong scientific evidence that in OCD a part of your brain that works much like a gearshift in a car is not working properly. Your brain gets “stuck in gear”. This is why it’s hard for you to shift behaviors. At UCLA they use the mind’s own power to actually change the chemistry in the brain. No neurosurgery needed. You can do it with your mind. Using the Impartial Spectator you can distance yourself from your OCD by creating a gap or safety zone Reattribute step intensifies the mindful-awareness process. Reattribute helps us understanding why the thought is so strong and why it won’t go away is the key to increasing your willpower and enabling you to fight off the urge to check or wash Changing your behavioral responses to the uncomfortable feelings and shifting to useful and constructive behaviors will, over time, make the broken gearshift become unstuck Scientific facts: The Orbital Cortex: the brain’s ‘error-detection circuit”.

Step 3: Refocus “Wishing Won’t Make It So”This step helps tell you what to do when you are trying to overcome those urges to do the compulsive behavior. The key = do another behavior Facts:- The more you worry about trying to drive some foolish and bothersome idea from your mind, the less chance you’ll succeed- A key principle in self-directed cognitive behavior therapy for OCD is this: it’s not how you feel, it’s what you do that counts- The object is to pursue an activity for at least 15 minutes - this is the fifteen minute rule- When you shift behavioral gears, you improve how your brain works- As you learn to manage your anxiety, your powers of observation will improve you will develop a powerful mind, a mind that is sensitive to subtle changes and able to see the implications of those changes - Just because your orbital cortex is stuck in gear and sending you false messages doesn’t mean you have to listen to it. That’s the important mind-brain discovery around which our UCLA team has structured the Four-Step program- By practicing these step, you will be able to expose yourself for longer and longer periods to those terrible thoughts and urges without performing compulsive ritual in response to them- There is a spiritual aspect to overcoming OCD, as well as a biological one (page 76)- As you do few compulsive behaviors and pay less and less attention to your obsessive thoughts - work around the thoughts - those thoughts and urges will fade more and more quickly- As human beings we have the capacity to observe our own behavior, to use our Impartial Spectator, to increase our mindful awareness, and to make thoughtful decisions about how we’re going to value and respond to the signals our brain is sending usAs a recap so far:#1 Relabel - call it what it is, an obsession #2 Reattribute - place the blame squarely where it belongs by reminding yourself, “it’s not me, it’s the OCD”#3 Refocus - walk away from the sink without washing your hands and do something worthwhile that makes you happy Reframe what OCD means to you. Here’s a positive way to look at it:- People with OCD tend to be creative, sincere, and very intense - You’re always figuring out exercise that will help you help yourself - You have the power to change your behaviors. Learn how to start relying on yourself again Relationship OCD:- Just let your thoughts go by without trying to figure them out- Trust and believe that you can manage your OCD, rather than allow it to manage you- As you implement the Four Steps you will gain confidence that you can prevail (Like Anna in the book says)- Shift and reframe your thoughts - Remember that even if your obsessions and compulsions reappear they will never again have the same power over you (Like Karen says in the book)Remember, you must be active.

022: How To Cope With Change And Uncertainty 

“Lessons Learned from OCD” Reframing to see the good that OCD has brought: Lara put it this way: “Having OCD has made me a more intense, sensitive, and compassionate human being. I have been humbled by my disorder. It has built character even while tearing at my soul, my heart, and my self-esteem. It has enabled me to fight harder, to strive for the good and the truth inside of me. It has made me less critical and judge mental of others who suffer in their lives.” How to Revalue:  Realize that your obsessive thoughts and compulsive urge are not important and that you can deal with them. You’re in sense, devaluing those silly thoughts. Anticipate and Accept Anticipate that the obsessive thought will occur hundreds of time a day and do not be surprised by them, even if they are violent and extremely upsetting. Accept that your problem is a treatable medical condition.... accept that it exists despite yourself, not because of yourself  Use progressive time delays that gradually increase longer than 15 minutes by breaking the task into manageable bits, reassessing the situation while you are still anxious Practice - over stress the importance of learning to make self-supportive statements as a regular part of doing the Four Steps. Victim to victor - As Karen in the book says, “get a loving buddy, a friend, or a family member to help you and encourage you. Get your life back. Your future is in your hands now.”  Recap: Relabeling - “It’s all right, it’s just OCD” Reattribute - it to a brain glitch Refocus - on a constructive, enjoyable behavior Revaluing - the meaning of your thoughts and urges - - - **Please note: all references and direct quotes mentioned in this book club podcast episode are directly from Brain Lock: Free Yourself from Obsessive-Compulsive Behavior by Jeffrey M.

021: Role of Journaling in Mental Health with Marni Amsellem

"If I don't pray enough, something bad is going to happen to me or my family""Why did I just think about jumping in front of a train? Am I crazy?"Did I lock the door? What if I didn't lock the door? Omg, I didn't lock the door...did I?" OCD is an ugly monster. It's always hungry and never gets full. Living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder has been one of the greatest challenges and the greatest blessings in my life. There were days when I thought about taking my life, just to silence the noise in my head. There were days when I felt on top of the world because I found so much clarity in learning more about myself. There were days when I would spend at least 16 hours a day anxiously obsessing over the same question in my mind, for weeks. OCD attacked my confidence, my relationships, my faith, and my own self-image. When I was finally diagnosed, I felt a sense of relief because I was able to give all of this a name. I was able to better understand why I thought the way that I thought, and why I did the things that I did. And even though I, through the power of my own mind, overcame and recovered from Emetophobia and Scrupulosity, OCD has still shown up as Harm OCD and ROCD over the last few years. So I decided to pick up this book, Brain Lock by Jeffrey M. Schwartz, MD**, and learn more about OCD and discovery new ways of freeing myself. This episode talks about:- Explaining obsessions and compulsions - Defining the true meaning of mindfulness- What happens to the brain of someone with OCDLessons you'll learn: How to combat OCD thoughts- Pay less attention to the unpleasant sensations to weaken the brain circuits associated with them- Accept the "bad" thought as an obstacle to overcome- Alter your behavior response and change your brain chemistry- Strengthen your ability to resist the urge to perform a compulsion **Please note: all references and direct quotes mentioned in this book club podcast episode are directly from Brain Lock: Free Yourself from Obsessive-Compulsive Behavior by Jeffrey M.

*CUE THE CIRCUS MUSIC* Does your life feel like a scene from a movie? Or maybe a drama? Or maybe a thriller? LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACTION! We’re always in motion. We’re always “needing” to perform…to live up to someone’s expectation…to put on a show. Our attention spans are shrinking by the day. How can you possibly keep up? Welcome to the 4th episode of “Notes To Self”, a segment of Found Family Podcast. “Notes To Self” are literally notes that I’ve written to myself on the Notes app on my iPhone where I admit my worst fears, talk about my triggers, and word vomit limiting beliefs as well as life-changing revelations on my recovery journey. Get ready to REAL talk, girl. Coz s**t’s about to get real. Notes To Self on 1/2/2017: The reason why I’m afraid to chase after my dreams is because there will be an expectation upon me to constantly perform. That thought terrifies me and makes me feel trapped. I don’t want to pursue them then, it’s like my inner child throwing a tantrum and spitefully doing the opposite or not doing anything at all. I don’t like when other people have or put pressure or expectation on me and since I did that to myself for so many years, it’s an overwhelming feeling of “maybe I shouldn’t try or I’ll always need to perform”. DAY-YUM. If you’re looking to find some peace of mind this holiday season, ESPECIALLY before the new year hits, then this is the episode for you, girl! Here’s what you’ll learn:  Achievement vs. Perfectionism…what’s the difference?

*CUE THE CIRCUS MUSIC* Does your life feel like a scene from a movie? Or maybe a drama? Or maybe a thriller? LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACTION! We’re always in motion. We’re always “needing” to perform…to live up to someone’s expectation…to put on a show. Our attention spans are shrinking by the day. How can you possibly keep up? Welcome to the 4th episode of “Notes To Self”, a segment of Found Family Podcast. “Notes To Self” are literally notes that I’ve written to myself on the Notes app on my iPhone where I admit my worst fears, talk about my triggers, and word vomit limiting beliefs as well as life-changing revelations on my recovery journey. Get ready to REAL talk, girl. Coz s**t’s about to get real. Notes To Self on 1/2/2017: The reason why I’m afraid to chase after my dreams is because there will be an expectation upon me to constantly perform. That thought terrifies me and makes me feel trapped. I don’t want to pursue them then, it’s like my inner child throwing a tantrum and spitefully doing the opposite or not doing anything at all. I don’t like when other people have or put pressure or expectation on me and since I did that to myself for so many years, it’s an overwhelming feeling of “maybe I shouldn’t try or I’ll always need to perform”. DAY-YUM. If you’re looking to find some peace of mind this holiday season, ESPECIALLY before the new year hits, then this is the episode for you, girl! Here’s what you’ll learn: <ul> <li>Achievement vs. Perfectionism…what’s the difference?</li> <li>Why it’s important to be open to changes</li> <li>Understanding who’s setting these expectations</li> <li>Learning what it is that YOU want, versus what someone else wants for you</li> </ul> Don’t forget to hit that SUBSCRIBE button!

Lindsay Musgrove is a 29 years old, Peer Support Specialist, working part time at a local mental health authority. She is also a writer and enjoys philosophy. Lindsay wants to bring mental illness not just to the forefront, but also the knowledge of lesser well understood disorders that are often overlooked. She's a local artist and cat meme enthusiast.  What is agoraphobia? What's it like living with agoraphobia? How can I cope? What are ways that I can overcome?  These are some of the questions Lindsay and I dive into in today's episode!   “Is everybody looking at me? … [it's a] self-conscious fear … I felt like, everything was kinda, closing in… it was just very scary. From that point on, the anxiety got worse and I started to get a panic attack”  Lindsay shares, “...there is a step before facing your fears… having to find the ability to say, ‘Am I going to be able to do this?’ … everything is a process…”  We talked a lot about coping and acknowledgement: “...acknowledging that what you’re going through is valid, and acknowledging that what you’re experiencing has a name … with knowledge around how to overcome it … that’s where the power is. It’s not just knowing something...but doing something about it…you are now able to overcome, and find ways in which you can find that strength…” Click the link below to keep listening! - - -   Please show Lindsay all of your love and support by following her on Twitter @TheDopamineFlux and her blog: http://thedopamineflux.com/    ---   Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/foundfamily/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/foundfamily/support
