Developing Mental Resilience: Proven Strategies to Overcome Stress and Thrive | Resilient by Design 26:22

7 weeks前26:22

26:22

Send us a text In this episode of the Permission to Love Podcast , we continue the Resilient by Design series, focusing on three essential cognitive tools to help you build resilience, reframe stress, and create a healthier relationship with yourself. Stress can often feel overwhelming, but in this episode we look at the research-backed strategies that demonstrate how reframing stress and shifting our mindset can unlock personal growth and empowerment. You will learn how to: Use the ABC model (Activating Event, Belief, Consequence) to identify and transform stress triggers. Develop a growth mindset through small, achievable goals and consistent celebration of progress. Rewire outdated schemas and limiting beliefs with positive self-talk to build confidence and resilience. This episode is packed with actionable insights, stories, and research-based techniques to help you stop surviving and start thriving. Key Takeaways: Reframing Stress: Stress is not inherently bad; how we interpret it determines its impact. Research by Lazarus and Folkman shows that appraising stress as a challenge (rather than a threat) leads to motivation and empowerment. The ABC model: Identify the Activating Event, the Belief about the event, and the Consequence. Shift the belief to change the outcome. The Growth Mindset: A fixed mindset limits potential, while a growth mindset encourages adaptability and learning. Incremental goals and small wins build momentum. Celebrating progress rewires the brain for optimism and resilience. Positive Self-Talk: Inner dialogue shapes how we view ourselves and the world. Negative schemas, rooted in past experiences, can trap us in outdated narratives. Neuroscience shows positive self-talk strengthens neural pathways linked to optimism and resilience. Actionable Challenge: Pick one cognitive tool—reframing stress, developing a growth mindset, or practicing positive self-talk—and commit to using it this week. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction: Stress, anxiety, and avoidance 02:45 The power of reframing stress 04:19 The ABC model: Understanding activating events, beliefs, and consequences 07:11 Developing a growth mindset: Tips and tools 08:57 The importance of reframing stress and embracing challenges 10:44 Setting incremental goals and celebrating small wins 13:55 The impact of self-cele I am grateful you are here, Jerry Setup Your FREE Strategy Call: Schedule Call 🔗 Access the course "Learning How to Love Yourself" here: Access Course How is your relationship with yourself going?

How to Create Positive Emotions | Resilient by Design 38:12

8 weeks前38:12

38:12

Send us a text In this episode, we dive into practical tools to access positive emotions and build emotional resilience—your ability to adapt to adversity and stay aligned with the life you want to create. Learn how emotions serve as a compass, guiding you toward meaningful actions, and discover actionable strategies to manage negative emotions, elicit positive ones, and break the cycles of self-sabotage. Drawing from research on the brain's approach and avoidance systems, we unpack how your emotional responses shape your behaviors and beliefs. This episode is packed with insights to help you develop a positive emotional toolkit that empowers you to navigate challenges, regulate stress, and move toward thriving. Key Takeaways: Emotions Are a Compass: Emotions guide us toward what matters most in life. Instead of resisting them, use them to identify areas needing action or reflection. Dual Role of the Brain: The right hemisphere activates avoidance (fear and fight-or-flight), while the left hemisphere focuses on approach (reward and curiosity). Recognizing these systems helps us navigate emotions more effectively. Self-Sabotage Explained: Your brain aligns behaviors with your core beliefs. Limiting beliefs often lead to self-sabotage because they feel "safe" and familiar. Emotional Toolkit: Build resilience by incorporating daily practices like humor, savoring positive memories, music, and acts of service. Positive Emotions Expand Capacity: Research shows that positive emotions enhance problem-solving, connection, and resilience (Fredrickson, 2001). Practical Tools: Humor and Laughter: Engage with content or people that make you laugh to release feel-good chemicals. Savoring Memories: Recall joyful experiences and visualize them vividly to access positive emotions. Create a “Happy Button”: Associate a physical touchpoint with positive emotions to activate them in stressful moments. Use Music and Nature: Play uplifting songs or spend time in nature to calm your nervous system and elicit joy. Acts of Kindness: Helping others not only benefits them but also boosts your own well-being.

Send us a text In this episode of the “Resilient by Design” series, we explore what emotional resilience really is and why it’s essential for overcoming challenges and staying aligned with our personal goals and values. We examine research-backed strategies for developing emotional awareness, practicing self-compassion, engaging in mindfulness, and cultivating a supportive community—“emotional spotters”—to help us handle life’s ups and downs. We also address how trauma can make it more difficult to trust safe relationships or fully engage with mindfulness, and we look at practical ways to overcome these hurdles in a trauma-informed way. Remember, resilience is a learned skill—just like a muscle—and even small increments of growth are worth celebrating. Key Topics Covered Defining emotional resilience and why it matters The “Resilient by Design” approach: incremental growth and mindset shifts Emotional awareness: recognizing, labeling, and understanding your feelings Self-compassion as a cornerstone of resilience Mindfulness practices for staying present and reducing emotional reactivity The power of supportive networks or “emotional spotters” in times of stress Overcoming the extra challenges trauma survivors face when building resilience Strategies like safe space visualization, somatic therapy, and breath work for trauma-informed resilience Timestamped Chapters 00:00 – Welcome & Introduction 00:34 – Overview of the “Resilient by Design” Series 03:45 – Emotional Resilience: Definition & Importance 05:16 – Aligning Emotional Resilience with Personal Goals & Values 07:09 – Why Emotional Resilience ≠ Burying Emotions 08:08 – Embracing Difficult Emotions as Data (Dr. Susan David) 12:41 – Building Emotional Resilience: Evidence-Based Techniques 13:15 – Emotional Awareness & “Permission to Feel” (Dr. Mark Brackett) 16:05 – Cultivating Self-Compassion 19:16 – Treating Yourself as a Friend: The Power of Self-Kindness 21:42 – Mindfulness, Presence, & Living in the Moment 25:39 – Supportive Networks as “Emotional Spotters” 28:04 – Trauma’s Impact on Emotional Regulation & Relationship-Building 30:22 – Overcoming Trauma Challenges with Safe Space & Somatic Work I am grateful you are here, Jerry Setup Your FREE Strategy Call: Schedule Call 🔗 Access the course "Learning How to Love Yourself" here: Access Course How is your relationship with yourself going?

Send us a text In this episode, we begin an exciting new series titled Resilient by Design . Together, we explore what resilience truly means, how trauma impacts our capacity to be resilient, and practical ways to cultivate resilience in our lives. Drawing on research, neuropsychology, and personal insights, we discuss how resilience isn’t about being unshakable but about adapting to life's challenges. Learn how survival resilience differs from thriving resilience, why self-compassion is crucial in building resilience, and how trauma affects our brains and behaviors. Whether you’ve experienced adversity or simply want to strengthen your ability to adapt and thrive, this episode provides a compassionate and informative guide to help you start building resilience today. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to the Series 03:09 The Cycle of Goals and Shame 04:20 Trauma and Resilience: The Connection 06:29 What is Resilience? 10:03 The Role of Relationships in Resilience 12:28 Addressing Comparison and Self-Judgment 15:01 Survival vs. Thriving Resilience 18:09 Trauma’s Impact on the Brain 22:09 The Path Forward: Building Resilience 25:39 Looking Ahead Key Takeaways: Resilience is not innate; it is a skill we can develop through intentional practices. Trauma survivors often excel at survival resilience but may need tools to transition to thriving resilience. Self-compassion is vital for building resilience and overcoming self-judgment. Connection with others is a cornerstone of resilience. The brain’s neuroplasticity allows us to rewire and strengthen resilience through consistent effort and support.

Send us a text In this “Best Of” series, we revisit the impactful episode "There Is Nothing Wrong With You," originally part of a “Chasing Normal” series. Many of us have struggled with the belief that we are inherently flawed or broken, especially those of us on a trauma-healing journey. This episode sheds light on how the belief that something is wrong with you is not a truth but a trauma response—a coping mechanism developed to maintain a sense of control and safety in challenging environments. This episode provides insights on identifying, understanding, and ultimately letting go of this false belief so listeners can return to their authentic selves. This episode also offers journaling prompts, practical exercises, and reframes to help you step out of shame, step into self-acceptance, and experience genuine healing and growth. Key Topics Covered: Understanding that “something is wrong with you” is a trauma-born false belief How this limiting belief undermines self-esteem, confidence, and relationships The connection between trauma, coping mechanisms, and negative self-perception Journaling exercises to uncover the roots of self-doubt and fear Strategies to feel safe without relying on self-blame Replacing limiting beliefs with affirmations of safety and self-worth Resources & Mentions: Returning: A Collection of Meditations and Reflections on Self-Love and Healing Mindset Mastery Coaching Program: jerryhenderson.org Free Self-Assessment Guide Timestamped Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction & Best Of Series Overview 01:33 – Revisiting “There Is Nothing Wrong With You” 04:41 – Examining the Feeling That Something Is Wrong With You 05:49 – Understanding the Belief as a Trauma Response & Coping Mechanism 07:32 – How Trauma Instills a False Sense of Being Flawed 10:00 – The Destructive Loop of Reinforcing Negative Beliefs 12:38 – How the Belief Influences Relationships, Opportunities & Success 14:33 – Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs and Facing the Fear of Change 19:24 – Strategies for Healing and Shining Light on False Beliefs 20:38 – Recognizing the Voice of Fear & Countering Resistance 21:11 – “Maybe the Only Thing Wrong is the Belief Itself” 22:53 – Journaling Prompts to Identify and Release Core Beliefs 28:01 – Finding Alternatives for Feeling Safe & Creating a New In I am grateful you are here, Jerry Setup Your FREE Strategy Call: Schedule Call 🔗 Access the course "Learning How to Love Yourself" here: Access Course How is your relationship with yourself going?

Internal Family Systems and the High Achiever | The Healthy High Achiever Series 25:27

Send us a text In this episode we explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy can help high achievers heal their inner wounds, live more authentically, and find balance. I discuss the IFS concept of parts, such as exiles, managers, and firefighters, and how understanding these roles can lead to profound self-compassion and healing. This episode also includes a guided exercise for using IFS to connect with and heal your inner self. Key Takeaways : Understanding IFS : Internal Family Systems identifies "parts" within us, our exiles (wounded parts), and our protective parts such as managers and firefighters and how they interact. High Achievers and IFS : Perfectionism and overachievement often stem from manager parts protecting exiles wounded by childhood trauma or societal messages. Steps to Healing : Recognize exiles, build a relationship with protective parts, and use self-energy to connect with and heal the wounded parts. Practical Exercise : A step-by-step IFS practice to help bring compassion and healing to their internal parts. The Journey to Wholeness : Healing takes time and patience. It's a non-linear process that requires self-compassion and possibly the help of a professional. Resources Mentioned : IFS Guided Exercise : Practice connecting with your parts through a structured and compassionate approach.
