1055. The Truth About Trauma: Why Your Nervous System is the Missing Link w/ Somatic Expert Brian Mahan

Hey Regular People, we fooled them again. We made it to another edition of Regular Guy Friday! Barbie movie mania, the creative, fun, and poignant depiction of society...and the differing reactions from men and women. What do you do when the #$@! runs downhill? For those battling ailments (and seeking Dragon's Blood), the Regular Guy 4 Part Program (Pro-grim) is revealed. The importance of breath work and breathing in healing. The question you should be asking your therapist. The question only a good therapist can answer.  Why young people 'wanting it all now' is nothing new and why, like everything today, the cries are just louder. Men are more likely to be cocky and 'wing it,' while women are more likely to be hesitant and fearful. RGF Bonus: Poojah's Pop Corner: what is Girl Dinner, who is Pinky Baby, what is 'code', and why you need to know to be popular? Bye Betches.  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com Curated Macy’s Page: https://www.macys.com/healsquad Rosetta Stone: https://www.rosettastone.com/healsquad Noom: https://www.noom.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad?utm_med ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

This Heal Squad All Stars episode guides us in exploring the root cause of disease (our emotions) and the profound impact of emotions on our overall health. Of all our show's many sentiments, this may be our most important. Joining us are All Stars, Dr. Zach Bush, a respected physician and educator known for understanding the gut microbiome, health and the interconnectedness of all living systems. An acclaimed therapist, Nicole Sachs uncovers the powerful role that emotions play in our physical well-being and specializes in mind-body healing with her JournalSpeak™ technique. Lastly, Dr. Gabor Maté, a renowned addiction expert, explores the link between childhood experiences, emotional well-being, health, and addictions. Together, they unravel the intricate web of how emotions manifest as physical illness, uncovering the underlying factors contributing to disease. They also share invaluable insights, practical tips, and stories to help us comprehend the mind-body connection and optimize our well-being. Dr. Zach Bush Embrace Discomfort and Pain: Rather than resisting, move into and sit in discomfort to discover your true self and therapeutic outcomes. Pain as a Catalyst for Realignment The Importance of Emotional Processing: long-standing traumas and unprocessed (unseen and unheard) emotions manifest illness. Taking responsibility for one's well-being: the medical field's lack of emotional education, burnout among healthcare providers and recognizing the limitations of external blame. Nicole Sachs Honesty and Truth: difficult or uncomfortable truths lead to underlying causes, personal growth and healing. Compassion and Forgiveness: understanding limitations that led to outcomes that foster empathy and release feelings of anger or blame. Consistency and Self-care: journal speak and self-care practices build resilience, deepen understanding, create long-term relief and cultivate peace and self-alignment. Dr. Gabor Mate Importance of Healthy Anger: asserting boundaries is essential for well-being, while suppressing anger compromises mental and physical health. Repressed Emotions and Illness: the development of illnesses, including autoimmune diseases, and how to alleviate them.

"The only thing that can make us suffer is believing a thought that we haven't questioned." Healer and life coach Ryan Weiss sat in with the Heal Squad to open up on the two wolves that sit on each of our shoulders: one wolf that feeds off love and the other that feeds off fear and how vastly the one we feed dictates the quality of our lives. Ryan shares three steps to retrain your system to combat anxiety, the two basic needs that drive ALL our decisions, AND the two things we need to heal. Ryan covers how our true safety lies within our defenselessness and a revolutionary technique to apply when you feel your buttons are being pushed. Ryan defines what trauma is and how a time travel practice can alleviate the pains traumas leave behind. He discusses 'A Course In Miracles' and how ego is the loudest and first voice we hear. He shares a 4 question process for approaching conflict with others as well as what 'the Imposter Syndrome' is and how to avert it. Too much takeaway for one episode, this Heal Squad two-part episode provides so many healing and self-fulfillment life tools you can apply today toward. Enjoy part two of this two-part show! Many remain stuck in early phases of their spiritual journey. True spirituality goes beyond intellectual understanding.. Shadow work is essential: exploring dark aspects of self. Byron Katie's "The Work”: challenging the thoughts that cause suffering. Triggers offer valuable insights into unresolved issues and wounds. Listening, communicating and being present to foster healing. Success in any field requires hard work as well as self-care and self-reflection. Creating safe spaces for people to share stories and validate emotions is crucial. The ego is an imposter that creates a false sense of identity. Nature offers the opportunity to let go of the ego's illusion of separateness.
