      This insight is absolutely true.
      As an undergraduate student I had one last exam which I needed to pass with flying colours in order to enter the graduate program I had already been accepted to, which depended upon this one last exam. I was a nervous wreck. My wise father said, " Think of all the hurdles you have already overcome. Watch the movie "National Velvet. "
      Of course I did watch the movie; I did well on the exam, all because of the perspective my father gave me to look back at the obstacles and how they too were overcome.
      Truly, I appreciate you saying aloud with conviction, that we learn best not from words, but from our own failures, as we strive for solutions.

      Happiness is always measured as the "gap" between expectations and reality.
      My car broke down today and I was mostly confused but also annoyed and irritated. We broke down in the heat of the desert and as I rushed to get a rescue I watched my child and dog start to get really affected by the heat. When my relative was able to come get us I wasn't annoyed anymore I was just relieved and grateful. The tow truck ditched us, the rental car fell through once, everything went wrong but for the rest of the day I was GIDDY. I was so happy because my "expectation" level was set in the moment I watched my dog's eyes flutter closed from the heat.
      When a whole generation's expectation level is set by porn and social media, the standard is unmeetable and the gap will be large. Obviously they are unhappy!

      @@cinemaximum5654 There's a lot I could elaborate on, but I assume you mean the imposter syndrome bit. The TLDR version is, I've been running from failure my whole life.
      I had a rough childhood but after therapy I managed to go from a high school drop out to a working professional with a degree in a STEM field. I never felt secure in my accomplishments though, I've always felt like I was one mistake away from it all falling apart.
      Everything I ever attempted that I thought I might fail at, I just gave up right away. I had an attitude of if I'm not really trying I'm not failing, and if I put in the effort it would be a waste of time. The only 'failures' I've experienced were some bad dates or job interviews because I've avoided everything else that was too hard.

    Trauma Healing = Self awareness + being present. This is a lot of work and reflection. I only started my self-awareness journey 6 years ago and the amount of things that I needed to unpack is incredible. Some harsh truths that slapped me across the face then got me to sit with myself to figure shit out. I then told my wife that as parents the only thing we need to make sure that the kids are aware of is themselves. We then have opened the path to lead them to all the opportunities that they want to pursue based on who they are. Stephen you’re the man! Dr K, simply brilliant!

      @EyobYesus Місяць тому +2

      @@Cobalt_11 Becoming self aware for me was being aware of my feelings which involves asking where they come from and why I feel them. I try and reflect daily, considering what I accomplished and what I could improve, both personally and professionally. I focus on being present by paying attention, letting others finish speaking and truly listening.This is challenging because managing my attention span can be difficult. While this approach may vary for each person, I find that activities like exercising, dancing and fasting help me stay alert and present. I also make a conscious effort not to get lost in work, as I run a small business and I try not to get caught working in the business. Hence stepping back to take in the moment and when needed, to reflect.

      congratulations, but you can't just teach your child to be self-aware and claim your duty as a parent done. They're extremely impressionable and can't handle things like adults can. They need to be taught how to GROW. How to bloom. You can know all about your troubles and everyone else's troubles or what excites you but still be stuck in the dirt because of how you've been raised. As an addict, I know this to be facts. I was a self aware child but never brought my greatest problems to my parents because I was horrified that I would hurt them, even as they hurt me in ways they couldn't understand without me telling them. This extrapolates to all the scary things about childhood. You need to teach your children to confront problems, or they'll just pretend they don't exist, or maladapt in another way. You know, all that screen time makes it extremely easy for kids to become highly fragile.
      If all you teach is awareness, your child will be so, so aware of how overwhelming the world is. How are they to live in it? That's my point. Teach them how. Don't just support, guide. Raise. Have a good one.

    Even nowadays the trauma still gets me when I see similar conversations/situations. Even though I can depend on myself already. It still hurts knowing that my life since I was born is some sort of debt I need to pay back with one of my parents.

    Thanks for this convo! The super-short version of what is happening with the tapping mentioned is that those acupressure points have nerve concentrations that send a calming signal to the limbic system and nervous system when stimulated.
    Recent studies show the points themselves really matter when compared with placebo sham-points or no tapping, more than you might expect. So when you think and speak about something that has a stress response, including painful memories, but communicate safety to the body through the physical touch, the association between the event and emotion can be disconnected.
    Lots of tapping rounds on my channel if you don't mind the shameless plug, but with trauma it is best to work with a practitioner you trust :)

      Its like trauma weakens your ability to feel positive emotions, so when planning for the future you have no positive emotions to guide you or pull you towards and future you want. Because negative emotions will only push you away from current situations but won't help you move towards anything.

      @@IdeeFixeGamerthis is very significant. Trauma weakens your ability to feel positive emotions. Repeatedly trauma makes it worse and worse:
      At this point I cannot sustain positive emotions. It isn’t I don’t want to. I cannot feel them.
      We need to acknowledge as a society that saying heal yourself to a highly traumatized person may not help, because they literally may not know how.
      My theory is that trauma breaks the part of your brain thinking life can ever be fair. We want to believe we get what we give, at least sometimes. If what we get is not related in any way to our effort or inherent worth, how can you have any hope for the future.
      Imagine you had a physically abusive spouse after being molested as a child. Now you are considering trying to date again. I will likely have learned that others can and will harm me, and I end up getting blamed for their behavior (you chose them) rather than them even though nothing in your life set you up to understand people’s good or bad intentions. Going into the future, you can easily imagine bad outcomes, but good ones are obviously questionable so you avoid the pain you know.

      Social media is for sure ruining relationships. Some people believe all the negative info that’s posted. The biggest problem is the “no contact” with people who love them, because of one flaw, they go on social media, claims that person is toxic and they just disappear from that persons life, leaving the discarded person with major emotional issues…..it’s all about the “me” on social media, no one is teaching forgiveness, communication, compromise, just negative behaviours.

      Empathy is a real thing. Not sure if anyone disputes that empathy exists. Lt. Dianna Troy on Star Trek was someone I could identify with as a younger person. What an empath is like after some training... Everyone is influenced by the feelings of others, pheromones can spread throughout a large room in less than a second. As soon as someone walks into the restaurant, the mood of the whole place changes... to some degree. Most people have no clue where all their emotions come from and why they feel like they feel, often assuming simplistic pop culture reasons for their feelings... Watch anyone arguing and you can see how it can be all about escalating feelings and not really about the subject matter. This cannot happen if each person only feels their own feelings, it is the spiraling out of control due to feeling each other's feelings that causes things to escalate... You do not like what I said (maybe due to a trigger), your feelings of me doing something wrong feels like an insult to me since I did not mean any harm, so I feel like explaining or fighting back and then that bad feeling in me that makes me explain escalates the bad feeling in the other person as if I did something wrong again, and so on...

    Going to state my biases up front (in no particular order):
    1. I'm a longtime DOAC fan, and my family, girlfriend, friends, and some coworkers have heard the words "The Diary of a CEO" exit my mouth, on more than one occasion.
    2. I've been a fan of Dr. K for an about the same amount of time as I have DOAC.
    3. My enthusiasm for both has increased steadily.
    4. I see DOAC and Dr K, and it's an automatic watch / listen.
    Ok, so with my biases out of the way, I'm about 2/3 of the way through this episode and SO many things have resonated with me personally, and for those I care about.
    My opinion, but this has to be the best episode in the history of DOAC.
    I think I'm going to have to go back and watch this entire episode a few more times to really absorb all this amazing information (ironically, based on what Dr. K touched on about there being SO much information on the internet about everything).
    A lot to learn here, and a lot to unpack. I think of my girlfriend, who just got a diagnosis of polycythemia vera, and has just had quite the rough year.
    I've found so many amazing podcasts, took notes, and made bullet points to simplify the key points for her because she does not share my ability to stay focused on long-form podcasts.
    I'd send her timestamped YT links and suggest that she just listens for 10 minutes (she can listen to long-form, where I prefer to watch and listen).
    I'd send her word and excel docs I made with all these key points, only to be met with little to no matched enthusiasm.
    Long story short, I have been trying to help in a way I felt would be most helpful, by providing lots of new and interesting information, only to have a recent revelation that NONE of the information I curate for her will be helpful if she is not in the space to receive it. So I've changed my approach. This is for her past traumas from two douchebag ex-partners of hers, for her weight loss, for her health, for managing stress, for processing emotions, and so on and so forth.
    And I made this pivot to a different approach on that internal realization that I need to provide support and reassurance. She needs a solid partner, not a real life ChatGPT 😅
    I know my intentions are good, but it's like, "Hey Babe, I learned about all this cool shit you didn't know you needed to know and here it is." And I was lucky enough to realize that despite all that info being helpful at some point, it's not helpful to her right now.
    This won't stop me from voraciously consuming long-form podcasts and learning for my interests, but I realize that the best thing I can do is to be unwavering in my support for her, as I'd want the same in a partner.
    This wasn't supposed to be a long post...😂
    Thank you DOAC and Dr. K (and the DOAC crew).

      @superbri007: You are a very good person who is just trying to be helpful. I have the same problem wanting to convey great information I find, but sometimes I have to just be still and be present for the person. You obviously have that insight into yourself. Your girlfriend is lucky to have you and God bless both of you and prayers for your peace of mind and her health.

    Brilliant! I will listen to this multiple times. Paraohrasing Stephen, sometimes we need to have things repeated to us. In part, it may be that we don’t like the answer, but also because without having an enlightened mind, we struggle to hear it clearly. Dr. K, your clear, knowledge based message is deeply appreciated. Stephen, your honesty about who you are enabled all if us to benefit from Dr. K's responses in real time.

    Holy Shit, Stephen this is one of the best guests you had this year! This guy is motivating and...so unorthodox. There's some way about the way he explains things that makes it easy to understand .Its *just the way you described it* He is confronting and I too, enjoy that style of...talk. When I am confronted and I am challenged but respectfully by someone perhaps playing devils'a advocate let's say, that sort of thing. I really enjoyed this. I can't wait til you hit 10K. Personally, I post these podcasts on my social media & I *know* these are smart people I got looking at my stuff. I hope they are subscribing. *I'm looking at you reader*

      Totally agree. Dr. Alok has this confrontational style that is "in your face". In todays world, there is too much "tip-toeing" and "sugar-coating" around the real issues. It hit me really hard when Dr. Alok talked about the concept of "stillness/awareness" and "just be". Learn to "respond" as opposed to "react" with emotions.

      It's become a compulsive daily routine for me since my breakdown 10 months ago, but didn't become automatic until 8 months ago, and it has changed my life. Still have a long way to go, and I'm still struggling, but it allows me a third person perspective, so to speak, of my own mind and can see patterns and issues that would have escaped my attention--did escape my attention for years.
      Definitely encourage everyone to do it, even those not dealing with mental health issues.

    Steven, Dr K hit the nail on the head for me as a person. I needed to get out of my work and living environment when I lived in Cape Town South Africa. I left South Africa and moved to Tbilisi Georgia to find myself again and just be. I am at a point of starting to do a podcast about my Life Coaching business (thanks to my business coach), I have moved away from the anxiety of why nobody wants to change (that is their choice) - really have moved away from my face book business page (still there). Find inner peace was so essential for me and accept me for myself - this journey has been amazing. I now can face going back to South Africa with an inner happiness and give back to others with joy. Thank you for such inciteful podcasts, I really enjoy them.

    Dude, thank you so much! For me, this was probably the most profound episode so far🙏 I really love that he got so much knowledge that he can highlight a plethora of stupid things that we're doing wrong with facts and point out that isn't just one thing, and not just one cause and effect. I find the majority of people to have tunnel vision and oftentimes very defensive and try to downplay the impact of behaviors just because it's the norm. Sure! One could pretend that it's non-issues. but if you open your eyes and try to see things from as many perspectives as possible, then you quickly connect points and reveal the massive spiderweb of dysfunctional behaviors layered over almost every aspect of our lives and how insane we are becoming. The scary part is the compounded effect and how, instead of stepping on the brakes, just keep accelerating the problem.

      I like his "no bullshit" confrontational approach. Our society has gone so far to bubble and sugar-coat the real issues, and most times, "reality" is hard to face.
