He does the best work on childhood. You should be talking about childhood with potential partners in the dating phase not waiting until you're years in. Because you might just discover your attraction to that person is because it recreates both your traumas.

yes, thank you! right up my alley, will listen

Just fair warning. He's only after truth. It can rub people the wrong way because he challenges the narratives we all have about our parents. Self knowledge is never easy. Call in shows are the best way to start in my opinion. Because he goes through an individual's life/problems instead of the overarcing themes/principles.

And if you need help with the ideas/talk it out... Let me know.

And if you completely disagree and hate me for getting you to listen, that's fine too 🤣😂

I started listen to one episode and I got pissed at the first five minutes then realized he was trying to get the guest's opinions first before he said what he thought, but so far, I agree with most of what he is saying. I think he really blunt in how he feels. I caught myself agreeing with him after she talked more. I think I tend to be more mindful of the parents trauma as well, but he is like this is them and they are very selfish, and you were a burden to their pleasures (for this episode), but now, I want to deep dive into more episodes because this is inspiring me on topics I would like to do for my own podcast. My podcast would be less sitting down with doc feel and more about exploring our narratives.

Thank you for introducing me to this. I am an hour in so far...but I will be studying his answers.

I would love to chat.

It's funny you say that... He started the podcast talking about ethics of course, but more focused on economics, politics, and the state/government as a whole... Very libertarian-esq... But with a focus on childhood and how we get to our opinions. When he opened up call-in shows, people can talk about ANYTHING... And he discovered that 95% of people needed help with personal issues, because everyone usually defends the parents over the children.

interesting. the more i think about it, it is nice for the callers to get that validation, like hey your parents are assholes, because that is the first step in healing these childhood wounds and then deciding how the caller wants to move forward and to what degree of a relationship they would like to have with these assholes

Correct... And he'll never tell the caller what they should do. Most of the time it's just getting them to realize what happened and FEEL about it, instead of pushing those feelings away. Can't "just move past" something... Gotta process all the emotion that comes with it and be completely honest with yourself.
