If you're reading this, it's probably on some electronic device that has more computing power than NASA had when they first sent people into space. If you're listening to this, you have the ability to hear the world around you. These are two quick things to be very grateful for, despite all the bad that has happened in your life. In this episode, we're diving in to what gratitude is, how it changes the brain, and ways we can implement this ever-so-powerful practice into our every day lives. As always, thanks for listening!

We all have them. They have made up do crazy things, act out of character, reach out to that ex, and constantly tell ourselves we aren't good enough. I'm talking about emotions. The feelings we get that alert us to our situation can also be our emotional, mental, and even physical downfall. But there's hope! In this episode, we are going to talk about what emotions are, why we have them, and how we can work to manage these mental crazies. Buckle up for a roller coaster of emotion (yes, I'm cheesy). Kick the new year off right by conquering your inner voice!

Evolving emotionally and physically are natural elements of a human's life. As we progress and experience change, our friendships change as well. In this episode, we're talking about the psychological reasoning for outgrowing others: why we do it, how to recognize it, and what to do when it happens.

Prepare to be triggered! Or, at least that's how you'll feel if you have victim mentality. In this episode, we're talking about something that runs rampant in our culture today...victim mentality. We'll define what this is, how it develops, the cost of holding on to the victim mentality, and then we'll talk about how to break free from this sick way of thinking. Buckle up, strap in, and get ready for a wild ride.

In this episode we delve in to one of the most common origins of trauma, "The Dad Wound". Regardless of whether our fathers stayed in our lives or not, there are traumatic triggers, emotional repercussions, and much confusions that can stem from the relationship with a father. We'll attempt to identify what this looks like, how it manifests into relationships and everyday life, as well as finding a solution. Men are notorious for continuing generational hurt. My hope is that this episode will help you learn how to change the pattern and end the curse. Keep you head up, heart open. ______________ Feel free to reach out on socials: FB - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564447151316 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soberpsychology/ X: https://x.com/SoberPsychology Email: soberpsychology@gmail.com _____________________ New episodes uploaded weekly: https://rss.com/podcasts/soberpsychology/
In this episode, we dive into the treacherous aspect of resentment. We'll see how resentment looks in different situations, how it can be poisonous to the mind and body, and what to do with the resentment you may have. Resentment is a response mechanism for when we perceive that we have been wronged. When one develops a resentment, there are two options: accept accountability and act, or let it fester and avoid. Those who choose to act, there will almost always be some sort of backlash, so be prepared. Those who choose to avoid, this will almost certainly develop into a desire for revenge, which is VERY poisonous to the one holding the resentment. Forgiveness is the only solution. This is a concept that is very simple, but not at all easy. As always, feel free to reach out and let me know what you think.
