Standing. Clapping. That takes a lot of courage to seriously contemplate, let alone practice fully. As hard as it is to hear sometimes, as challenging as it is to do, and as often as I fail at it, I remind myself that I have to have the attitude that "I want to go through this pain" because...

The only fair measure of anything is results, so your opinion on this subject carries a lot of weight. And, fwiw, I think checking in to see if you're feeling pain is a form of overthinking which will create more problems than it will solve. Long story, but Christianity has evolved into the...

Challenging fear-based beliefs is one of the most simple yet complicated things we can do. Yes, in HBP, Sarno is adamant that fear of movement reinforces the pain cycle and rejects the idea that our bodies are fragile. I'm a work-in-progress, but in Sarno I trust.

Congratulations, Andy! Looking forward to whatever becomes public.

I believe I am the architect of my life. That said, when I analyze some of the traits I share with my sister and my children, I think there's truth to the idea of generational trauma. This article does a good job of describing a complex subject...

I listen to Eddy's podcast every week. Not surprising, your show was excellent and informative. Thanks!

Lifting weights isn't for everybody or every body; however, with proper breathing, is good for addressing anger issues.

Peer has a lot of YouTube videos available for viewing and is a highly regarded regular on the personal development podcast circuit. Fwiw, I think she is legit with a healthy message. She trains people in her form of therapy (e.g., hypnosis, in her case). Of course, that kind of business model...
