In this episode, John tackles one of the greatest tragedies of unhealed trauma: the fact that it causes us to vehemently reject good things in life.

• Why, every day, millions of people actively reject opportunity, money, and caring relationships.
• How childhood trauma creates a false frame of reference that warps adult judgment.
• How this warped judgment causes good people to reject good things.
• Why people get scared when they near a genuine opportunity for change.
• Why we distract from the misery of our lives (and not just to avoid misery)
• How this phenomenon forms a negative feedback loop that traps us
• How we can slowly but surely free ourselves from this trap
• How we can expand the possibilities for our lives by identifying and dismantling this malformed aspect of the psyche.

We all have dark thoughts sometimes, but if you have trauma or severe mental health issues, these thoughts can be WAY darker and stronger. Usually, you are taught to just white-knuckle through it, but there is an approach to dealing with dark thoughts that will not only help you stay safe and unharmed but help you move toward deeper healing.

You can learn to see these difficult thoughts and emotions as a doorway into healing rather than merely as a liability or threat to your wellbeing.

Do you need to heal so you can lose weight? Emotional eater? Unmotivated? Join my free community full of courses, support and interaction with me.
