Development of intuitive abilities and the importance of approaching spirituality as a creative project rather than a competitive sport. The importance of developing intuition through regular practice and reflection. She explains that intuition is often experienced as subtle sensory information beyond rational thought, possibly connected to quantum physics and neuroscience. Katie emphasizes the need to distinguish between genuine intuitive insights and ego-driven desires or subconscious manipulations. She suggests starting with low-stakes situations, identifying one's dominant intuitive sensory gateway, and maintaining openness and healthy skepticism. Katie also emphasizes the importance of addressing past traumas and belief systems that may hinder the reception of clear, intuitive information. She recommends working with certified trauma processing professionals to release emotional blockages and enhance intuitive abilities. Katie discussed the concept of toxic spirituality, which she defined as a spectrum of behaviors and beliefs that can be damaging to individuals. She mentioned that it can range from well-meaning but ungrounded communities to more extreme forms of manipulation and exploitation. Katie emphasized the importance of understanding trauma and mental health when dealing with spiritual awakening and the need for a nuanced approach. The potential for unregulated spiritual spaces to be exploited by emotionally immature or toxic individuals. Dr. emphasized the importance of self-responsibility and safety in these experiences. They also mentioned the growing interest in psychedelics and their potential therapeutic use, leading to more discussions about reaching spirituality. Katie and Dr. discussed the potential benefits and risks of spiritual experiences, particularly those involving psychedelics or shamanic rituals. They emphasized the importance of finding a safe and supportive environment for such experiences, as well as the need for proper training and mentorship. They also cautioned against the dangers of seeking quick fixes or shortcuts in spiritual growth and stressed the importance of integrating spiritual experiences into daily life. They agreed that spiritual experiences are more common than people realize but often go unspoken. Remember to Subscribe, Listen, Review, and Share!

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요E403– "Inner Voice: A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan Zeine." In this episode, Dr. Foojan Zeine chats with Omid Nemati. Omid's formal education is a postgraduate degree in business administration, and he is a pilot instructor in general aviation. His active writing journey started around 2013, and the core idea has been to create a tool that can navigate us as humans, both as individuals and as a community (such as families, organizations, nations, and the global population), through various situations. He authored the notion of APS, which GPS inspires. It recognizes possibilities through a coordinated perspective, a highly detailed concept. APS, with its many integrated tools, is based on consilience. With the help of today's technology, different scientific experts—whether individuals, bodies, organizations, or publications—can contribute their input. APS then collects the data and generates a collective APS perspective (point of view), which could lead to wisdom and/or scientific inventions. This approach allows us to understand the range of probable possibilities that may occur in the future, whether for an individual, a community, or an organization. This is how APS was developed and came into existence. His first publication was released in 2019—a novel titled The Human Miind & Patterns of Characters . Today, we will discuss his new book, APS ACOS Positioning System. Evolving communication tool for tomorrow. # 1 on the 20 Best California Mental Health Podcasts list by FeedSpot. https://podcasts.feedspot.com/california_mental_health_podcasts Check out my website: www.FoojanZeine.com , www.AwarenessIntegration.com , www.Foojan.com Summary Dr. discussed the evolution of communication tools, specifically the Acos Positioning System (APS). Omid explained the concept of "tomorrow's literacy" as a form of communication that has evolved from verbal to written. He highlighted the importance of this evolution in transmitting perspectives and perceptions across different geographical locations and periods. Omid explains that genetic needs, including efficient communication and relationships, drive human inventions. He describes his concept of people moving between situations on a timeline, with each situation representing a person's current state. Dr. Foojan relates this to a predictive model of human behavior, incorporating both internal processes and external communication. Omid confirms this interpretation, adding that his model, Aps, considers both changeable and unchangeable factors in human life, with the changeable aspects relating to his MIIND model and the unchangeable aspects involving self-awareness and scientific facts. Omid discussed the concept of Attacko, a tool that collects and unifies perspectives from various sources, similar to how numbers were invented to represent quantity. He compared this to Chat GPT, which collects data but lacks a coordinated perspective. Omid emphasized that Attacko enables anyone to contribute their perspective, regardless of their scientific education or knowledge. Dr. asked about the openness of Attacko, to which Omid clarified that it is open to everyone to put their perspective in the system. Dr. and Omid discussed the application of APS in various contexts, including HR training, psychotherapy, and personal development. They explained how APS can facilitate communication between a company and its customers by collecting and integrating individual perspectives into a unified perspective. This process allows for rapid decision-making and adaptation to changing needs. The software also provides recommendations based on the data it collects, enhancing the speed and quality of communication. Dr. Foojan Zeine discussed the concept of a platform that collects and personalizes data based on user interests, such as Chat GPT. Omid clarified that this platform is not related to Aps, but is a fundamental technology that allows software like Chat GPT to operate. He also explained the idea of a generated, coordinated perspective as the deepest level of human understanding, which AI can process faster. Omid suggested that AI may eventually reach perspectives that humans have not yet invented, leading to a potential imbalance in communication between humans and AI. Omid discussed the concept of AI reaching beyond the human perspective, potentially inventing things none of us could have thought of. He mentioned the idea of a "zone" where AI surpasses human understanding and the importance of having coordinated perspective tools to trace how AI reaches these zones. Dr. raised concerns about the implications of AI reaching beyond human perception and the need to understand how AI gets to these zones. Dr. and Omid discussed the potential of AI to collect and merge perspectives from a global population, creating a unified perspective. Omid emphasized the importance of understanding AI's behavioral scale and promoting mutual respect between humans and AI. He also introduced the concept of Aps, a cost positioning system, and mentioned that his book on the topic is available on Amazon. Omid discussed the importance of invention and communication, particularly in AI. He emphasized the need for mutual respect in communication with AI. Dr. agreed, sharing their experience with the AI chatbot, Mira, which was trained using the awareness integration theory. They compared the process of training AI to raising a child, noting that the AI could grow beyond its creators and potentially become a valuable and empathic entity.

In this episode, Dr. Foojan Zeine chats with Tami Kiekhaefer, LCSW, a seasoned psychotherapist with nearly 25 years in private practice. As the author of From Chaos to Calm: A Six-Step Strategy to Break Through Anxiety and Preparing for the Jungle: Avoiding Snakes and Pitfalls on the Path to Healthy Love, she empowers high-achieving women to break free from anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. Tami's approach blends practical strategies with deep self-awareness, helping clients build confidence and resilience. She offers virtual, confidential sessions via phone and Zoom, making support accessible no matter where you are. www.healthyhealing.net # 1 on the 20 Best California Mental Health Podcasts list by FeedSpot. https://podcasts.feedspot.com/california_mental_health_podcasts Check out my website: www.FoojanZeine.com, www.AwarenessIntegration.com, www.Foojan.com Summary Dr. and Tami discussed the topic of anxiety, its normality, and its impact on individuals. Tami emphasized the importance of recognizing the roots of anxiety, which she identified as a lack of control over one's environment and negative thought patterns. She also highlighted the significance of being aware of one's body and managing its symptoms to prevent anxiety from spiraling out of control. They discussed the benefits of body-centered yoga and meditation techniques for stress management. Tami shared her experience of using these techniques to lower her blood pressure and emphasized the importance of breathing exercises. Dr. suggested incorporating singing into breathing exercises to make them more enjoyable. They also discussed the prevalence of panic attacks masquerading as heart attacks, with Tami estimating that around 80% of ER visits for suspected heart attacks are panic attacks. Tami discussed the importance of managing anxiety by activating the left brain to assess situations logically rather than relying solely on emotions. She emphasized that the left brain cannot be used simultaneously with the right brain, which is responsible for emotions and creativity. Tami suggested exercises to activate the left brain, allowing for a more logical approach to anxiety. Tami indicated that people often feel out of control when they focus on external factors and that they can regain a sense of safety by shifting their attention to internal control. She proposed writing down what one can and cannot control, emphasizing that the list of controllable factors is usually longer than the uncontrollable ones. Dr. agreed, adding that even if one cannot control external events, they can control their own actions and reactions. The conversation ended with Tami encouraging people to focus on their skills, accomplishments, and marketability to boost their confidence and reduce anxiety. Dr. discussed various types of anxieties, including existential ones such as moving from one phase of life to another, anxieties about illnesses, death, and loneliness, and anxieties about past completions and redefining oneself. Tami shared her theory about experiencing multiple midlife crises every 7 years, which she believes is linked to her children's developmental stages. Both agreed that these transitions often involve unknowns and a lack of confidence in oneself, as one has not yet proven their ability to navigate these new situations. Tami and Dr. discussed strategies for overcoming anxiety and building confidence. Tami emphasized the importance of facing fears and avoiding avoidance, which can exacerbate anxiety. Dr. shared his approach of focusing on strengths and resilience and trusting himself to learn and adapt. They also discussed the importance of self-trust and executive functioning in managing anxiety. Tami used the example of driving in the snow to illustrate how avoidance can lead to a downward spiral and how facing fears incrementally can help build confidence. Tami and Dr. discussed the impact of anxiety on individuals, particularly during the pandemic. They highlighted how anxiety can be both a collective and personal experience fueled by external factors such as social media and news. Tami emphasized the importance of recognizing anxiety as an emotion and not letting it control one's life. She shared personal experiences and strategies for managing anxiety, including naming it and practicing gratitude. The conversation concluded with Tami encouraging others to seek help and guidance in managing their anxiety.

The book explores the integration of psychology and organizational development to foster personal and professional growth. They emphasized that self-awareness is foundational to effective leadership and a healthy organizational culture. Dr. Behnam highlighted the importance of recognizing how individual actions impact an organization and advocated cultivating a culture of awareness, responsibility, and continuous learning. He also underscored the role of cultural sensitivity in addressing turnover and resistance, stressing that organizations must intentionally invest in creating empowering and inclusive environments. Dr. Foojan focused on how unresolved personal patterns—often rooted in early life experiences—can influence workplace dynamics. She shared insights on how these unconscious behaviors can affect relationships with authority figures and coworkers, creating ripple effects across teams and the broader organization. By acknowledging and healing these internal patterns, individuals can foster more harmonious and productive work environments. Both authors stressed the need for leaders to model emotional intelligence, self-reflection, and accountability. Dr. Behnam noted that leadership is not about perfection but about being mindful of one's influence and being willing to apologize and adjust when necessary. Dr. Foojan added that effective leadership involves balancing empathy with accountability and aligning one's role with personal strengths.

Dr. Peter discusses the importance of understanding and working with the body's natural responses to triggers and emotions. He suggests that instead of controlling external factors, we should focus on quieting down and being present with our bodily sensations. By tolerating and observing uncomfortable emotions, the body can naturally process and release them. This approach allows for more precise decision-making, as emotional reactions influence the brain's higher functions less. The doctor confirms this interpretation, adding that being more conscious of bodily responses can lead to better information processing and wiser choices. He suggested that all humans are traumatized due to their upbringing and the constant observation of others' emotions and actions. He emphasized that the source of unwise acting is often a misinterpretation of bodily sensations. Dr. Peter discussed the concept of willpower and its relationship with the body's response to perceived danger. He explained that the body's nervous system reacts to perceived danger, cutting off the brain's rational part and leading to impulsive behavior, and suggested that this process involves noticing when one is out of control, being aware of it, and then having the willpower to make the right choices. Emphasized the need to stop and notice when engaging in unwanted behaviors and to pause for as long as desired before resuming the original action. He shared his personal experience of overcoming addiction and stress through this method and highlighted the benefits of a more conscious and present life.

He's developed holistic treatment programs and advocates for improved mental health and addiction disorder treatments, as well as researching, writing, and public speaking about addiction, community, mental health, narrative, and social issues. This episode explores his new book "F*ck Happiness: The Search for Meaning in a World Gone Mad Chasing Happiness."

He shared his frustration with the initial path and how he eventually came to the title "Fuck Happiness" after realizing his mistake. Dr. Zeine expressed her appreciation for the book and shared her experiences with pursuing happiness, highlighting how societal norms and personal expectations can influence one's understanding of happiness. Shawn discussed the societal pressure to conform to certain expectations of happiness and success, which often leads to depression and dissatisfaction. He emphasized the importance of self-discovery and authenticity, urging people to question their passions and desires rather than unthinkingly following societal norms. Shawn also shared his journey, highlighting how he found his passion for psychotherapy and writing despite initial conditioning. He encouraged listeners to reflect on their lives and consider what brings them joy and fulfillment. Dr. and Shawn discussed the concepts of happiness and meaning, drawing on their shared understanding of human emotions and experiences. They differentiated between fleeting, superficial happiness, such as the joy from a drug or a short-term activity, and a more profound, lasting sense of meaning and purpose. Dr. emphasized the importance of relationships and connections in achieving this state of happiness, while Shawn used the metaphor of ordering a pizza to illustrate the difference. He suggested that happiness is like a fleeting pizza, while meaning is about sharing the experience with others and having deep, meaningful conversations. They also referenced a 100-year study on well-being and happiness, which found that meaningful relationships and connections were key to long-term happiness. Shawn and Dr. discussed the importance of meaningful connections in maintaining a stable baseline of happiness. Shawn emphasized that while happiness is fleeting, meaningful connections can provide long-term fulfillment. He cited the hedonic treadmill phenomenon, where people adapt to positive or negative life events and eventually return to their baseline of happiness. Shawn recommended focusing on nurturing family and close personal connections, which provide a stable foundation for happiness. Dr. shared his personal experience of changing his baseline from depression to a more stable state through therapy and self-work. Both agreed that meaningful connections are crucial for maintaining a healthy baseline of happiness. Dr. discussed the importance of finding meaning in life and being authentic. He emphasized that one can create meaningful connections with others by being authentic. Shawn agreed, adding that authenticity is a significant theme in his book and crucial for good relationships. He suggested that people should overcome the fear of judgment, practice self-compassion, challenge the idea of perfectionism, build strong relationships, internalize their sense of self-worth, and celebrate their uniqueness. Shawn also highlighted the importance of being vulnerable and open to feedback, as it allows for personal growth and development. They emphasized the importance of accepting the ups and downs of life and focusing on the present moment. They also discussed the idea of meaningfulness, with Shawn highlighting the importance of having a hopeful life and adding value to others.

In this episode, Dr. Foojan Zeine chats with Cody Peterson who has been a student of spirituality and religion since childhood. Passionate about the teachings of Carl Jung, he found a profound intersection between Jungian teachings, transformation, and AA's Twelve-Step approach. Eleven + years sober, Peterson takes his spiritual practice very seriously, believing that his recovery (and his life) depends on it. He shares his insights into modern spiritual transformation through his writings and podcast appearances, teaching his audience to make peace with those parts of themselves that they’ve spent their lives avoiding, thereby unlocking transformative power they never dreamed possible. He is an avid outdoor adventurer and owner, with his wife, of a small construction company. His new book is Shadow of a Figure of Light/ The Archetype of the Alcoholic and the Journey to Enlightenment.

Cody explained the book's cover, which was drawn by a friend, and its connection to the story of Carl Jung's quest for his myth. He also mentioned Jaime D'Angelo, a character in the book, who discovered his spiritual connection through practicing with native Americans and using psychedelic mushrooms. Dr. shared his experiences with dream work and ayahuasca trips, noting the recurring ancient symbols he encountered. Dr. and Cody discussed the connection between psychology and spirituality, with a focus on the role of the subconscious and the concept of the shadow. Cody emphasized the importance of making the darkness conscious in the process of spiritual awakening, drawing on Carl Jung's ideas. They also discussed the symbolism of dreams and the collective myth, and how these relate to the human psyche. The conversation centered around Cody's book, "The Shadow of a Figure of Light," which explores the balance between spirituality and religion, and the acceptance of one's darkness as a source of spiritual vitality. Dr. and Cody discussed the commonalities between various therapeutic approaches, including psychotherapy, dream work, psychedelic treatments, and spirituality. They agreed that the first step in healing is to confront and accept the darkness within oneself, whether it's related to trauma, addiction, or other personal issues. Dr. emphasized the importance of self-acceptance and love for all parts of oneself, while Cody shared his personal experience as an alcoholic and drug addict, noting the parallels between Carl Jung's ideas and the 12-step program. Both agreed that the transformation experienced by addicts through the 12 steps serves as a prototype for psychological transformation in general. Cody discussed his perspective on alcoholism, drawing from Carl Jung's letter to Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. He suggested that alcoholism is a universal thirst for wholeness or union with God and that alcoholics are a prototype of this struggle. Cody also explored the concept of the archetype of the alcoholic, which he found had not been extensively written about. He emphasized the transformative nature of alcoholism, likening it to the prime material in alchemy. Cody highlighted the importance of accepting our murkiness and recognizing that everyone is in the same boat, rather than striving for perfection. Dr. discussed their personal experience with addiction, comparing it to other behaviors and substances. They shared their 30-year work in addiction recovery and opened an outpatient program. Dr. emphasized that addiction stems from a deep-seated unease and anxiety, and people often use substances or behaviors to cope. They noted that falling in love or finding a spiritual connection can be key to recovery, as these connections can guide individuals toward self-discovery and oneness. Dr. also highlighted the importance of self-reflection and daily work in managing addiction. Dr. and Cody discussed the concept of compulsion and its role in human life. Dr. discussed the concept of addiction and the delusion that people often fall into. He explained that people get hooked on a path that promises them a connection and wholeness, but this path is a path of destruction. The association between the addictive behavior and the desired connection is not accurate, leading people to believe that one more use will bring them closer to their goal. Dr. also mentioned that even people who have been sober for a long time can still have this delusion, believing that they can have one more time of using before they die.…

Dr. Foojan and Dr. Licuanan discussed the challenges families face when dealing with addiction. They highlighted the confusion and guilt that can arise from different approaches to addiction, such as tough love or being overly nice. Dr. Foojan noted that addiction can be functional or non-functional, affecting the family's dynamics. Dr. Licuanan emphasized the importance of a balanced approach, which he termed "assertive love" or "respectful boundaries." He warned against the dangers of harsh, unconditional love, which could lead to hopelessness and potentially tragic outcomes. Dr. Foojan and Dr. Licuanan discussed the importance of understanding addiction and its impact on individuals and their families. Dr. Foojan emphasized the need for individuals struggling with addiction to recognize their behavior's impact on others and take responsibility for their actions.

He also highlighted the importance of recognizing each family member's role and responsibility in perpetuating the addiction. Both agreed on the necessity of educating families about addiction before engaging in conversations about it. Dr. Licuanan discussed the concept of disease, emphasizing that there is no single definition and it can encompass various aspects of life, including mental health and substance use disorders. He suggested that everyone has their version of the disease, which can impact their lives. He emphasized the importance of operationally defining terms to ensure everyone is on the same page, particularly in group therapy settings. He highlighted the need to identify and address the actual problems within a family, not just focusing on the individual causing the most harm. Dr. Licuanan also discussed the concept of a 'coalition' or support system, which includes a primary and secondary support system. He stressed the importance of carefully selecting members of the primary support system to avoid fractures in relationships and a unified vision. Dr. Licuanan and Dr. Foojan discussed the importance of family involvement in the treatment process for individuals struggling with addiction. They emphasized the need for careful selection of family members to be involved in the initial phases of the process, as not all family members may be suitable or willing to support the individual throughout the treatment journey. They also highlighted the importance of creating a safe environment for family members to share their experiences and concerns, and to collaborate in supporting the individual in need of treatment. Dr. Foojan asked about strategies to manage resistance from the individual or the family, to which Dr. Licuanan responded by stressing the importance of upfront knowledge and understanding of addiction for family members. Dr. Licuanan discussed the challenges families face when dealing with loved ones struggling with addiction or mental health issues. He emphasized the role of guilt and fear in perpetuating the disease and the importance of setting boundaries and limits. Dr. Licuanan also highlighted the three inevitable consequences of untreated mental health or addiction: jail, institutionalization, or death. He advised families to accept these consequences and focus on what they can control, such as providing options and support. Dr. Foojan then asked about a step-by-step plan for getting a resisting loved one into treatment, to which Dr. Licuanan responded by emphasizing the importance of recognizing what one can and cannot control, and accepting the inevitable consequences of inaction. Dr. Foojan and Dr. Licuanan discussed the importance of calling the police in situations where a loved one is in imminent danger of harming themselves or others. Dr. Licuanan emphasized that law enforcement is increasingly receiving mental health education, which can lead to a more appropriate response. He advised calling 911 and providing as much information as possible about the situation, including any untreated mental health conditions or substance abuse. Dr. Licuanan also stressed the importance of hope and the power of family members to make changes in their loved ones' lives.…

He used his coaching skills to support a client during a session and then proceeded with a seminar on maintaining peace and happiness despite his challenges. Arjang emphasized that emotional state is a personal choice and that he had used tools and insights to cope with the situation. Arjang emphasized the importance of understanding that our emotions are not solely determined by our circumstances but rather by how we interpret and think about those circumstances. He shared that this understanding gives us control over our emotions and responses rather than being at the mercy of external factors. He encouraged using this inner power to handle any challenge, as he believes that we are all capable of handling any situation that comes our way. Arjang emphasized the importance of spiritual connection and gratitude in overcoming these challenges. He shared a personal experience of losing his home to a fire and how the outpouring of love and support from the community and government agencies helped him cope. Arjang also highlighted the significance of focusing on the good and blessings in life rather than just the challenges. He suggested practicing gratitude and acceptance to foster happiness and resilience. Arjang discussed four fundamental keys to resilience: accessing inner power, focusing on what one is grateful for, accepting challenges, and using challenges for personal growth. Dr. emphasized the importance of focusing on resilience and the power of love and generosity in healing and supporting others.…

Meghan, a trauma therapist specializing in grief and loss, shared her experiences and insights from her book, highlighting the common symptoms of grief, such as brain fog, memory loss, and emotional turmoil. She also stressed the importance of understanding that grief is not a singular event but a continuous process, with big and small losses contributing to the overall experience. The conversation also touched on the importance of acknowledging and validating the grief process, as many people feel like they are failing or going crazy due to the lack of cultural understanding and support.

Meghan highlighted the lack of support for grieving individuals, with many companies only offering three days of bereavement leave. She suggested that this lack of support can lead to self-criticism and isolation. Dr. noted that many cultures grieve together and that Western societies expect to compartmentalize grief. Meghan proposed making an appointment with oneself to acknowledge and process grief and suggested that this could be a helpful tool for those experiencing grief. The conversation also touched on the importance of having a support system during grief. Meghan and Dr. discussed the complexities of grief and loss, emphasizing the importance of understanding and accepting the new roles and identities of such experiences. They highlighted the need for individuals to consciously decide how they want their relationships to continue after a loss and the importance of maintaining a connection with the person who has passed. Meghan also shared her personal experience of grappling with spirituality and the search for meaning after her mother's sudden death.

In this episode, Dr. Foojan Zeine chats with Dr. Ramin (Ron) Najafi, a chemist and entrepreneur committed to environmental advocacy. He is Emery Pharma's Founder, President, and CEO, a contract research organization focused on pharmaceutical development. Dr. Najafi invented the Ecological Funnel (ECO Funnel) and founded CP Lab Safety, which distributes over 200,000+ lab safety products worldwide, enhancing compliance with safety standards. In addition to Emery Pharma and CP Lab Safety, he has founded several other companies, including Nova Bay Pharmaceuticals, where he took the company public. With over 70 patents, Dr. Najafi combines scientific innovation with a strong commitment to safety and sustainability in laboratory practices. We will discuss his latest book, co-authored with Kelley Najafi, on the "7 Commandments to Save the Planet". Summary Dr. Ron Najafi, a chemist and entrepreneur, discussed his journey from working in the pharmaceutical industry to becoming an advocate for environmental safety. He shared his invention of a product that prevents laboratory pollution and its widespread adoption in the industry. Dr. Ron emphasized the importance of education in understanding the impact of human activities on the planet, citing examples such as the long-lasting effects of plastic waste and the disproportionate generation of carbon dioxide compared to the absorption capacity of trees. He concluded by stressing the need for individuals to take responsibility for their actions and to learn about the consequences of their choices on the environment. Dr. Ron and Dr. Foojan discussed the proper disposal of expired drugs, emphasizing that they should be returned to the pharmacy or manufacturer for safe disposal or recycling. They highlighted the issue of expired medications being thrown into landfills, where they can leach into the soil and contaminate the environment, contributing to antibiotic resistance and other health issues. Dr. Ron advocated for manufacturers to take responsibility for their products at the end of their life cycle, ensuring they are disposed of or recycled safely. Dr. Ron discussed adopting a product as a service, similar to software as a service, where the manufacturer is responsible for the product's longevity. He used the example of a refrigerator manufacturer to illustrate this point, stating that they should be accountable for their products, including disposal and recycling. Dr. Ron also shared his experience with a pharmaceutical company, where a faulty refrigerator was discarded after only six months of use. He emphasized the need for companies to reduce waste, reuse, recycle, and repair products, as outlined in his book. Dr. Ron and Dr. Foojan discussed the need for a circular economy, emphasizing the importance of recycling and reusing materials to reduce waste and protect the environment. They highlighted the negative impact of the current linear economy, which involves taking, making, and disposing of, and suggested that policy changes and regulations are necessary to guide companies toward a circular economy. They also discussed the potential for collaboration between different manufacturers to utilize each other's waste products and the importance of reducing plastic waste, which can harm the environment and human health. Dr. Ron shared that he and his wife have been working on this issue for 20 years and have recently published a book on the subject. Dr. Foojan and Dr. Ron discussed the need for revolutionizing food and energy production to save the planet. They highlighted the current chemically intensive methods of growing food and generating energy, which are detrimental to the environment and human health. Dr. Ron suggested the development of high-yield, less poisonous food production methods and exploring safer energy sources, such as solar and wind power. He also emphasized the need to consider the human cost of producing these energy sources, like cobalt mining in Africa. Dr. Ron concluded that solar and wind energy are currently the cheapest and most environmentally friendly options and should be further developed and utilized. Dr. Foojan and Dr. Ron discussed the importance of industry, policymaking, and consumer responsibility in addressing environmental challenges. Dr. Ron emphasized the need for consumers to educate themselves and take action, such as reducing waste, recycling, and demanding eco-friendly products from manufacturers. He also suggested implementing a deposit system for plastic bottles to encourage their return and creating a new industry that can repurpose plastics. Dr. Ron encouraged everyone to visit landfills and recycling centers to understand the issues better and write letters to their legislators to advocate for change. He invited people to contact him via email or LinkedIn for further discussions.…

She emphasized that simply thinking about these parts is not enough, and instead, suggested reflecting on what one's parents didn't like about them and what they fear showing to others. Rachel proposed tracking these parts throughout the day, checking in with them, and shaping one's life around them to make them feel loved and cared for. She also noted that these parts often come alive with pain and that learning to feel and process this pain is crucial for personal growth. Rachel discussed emotional release work, which involves learning to manage one's feelings responsibly. She emphasized the importance of creating a proactive practice to connect with emotions and move them rather than waiting for life events to trigger them. Rachel also mentioned the need to physically amplify one's capacity to handle anger, sadness, fear, and shame. She suggested setting aside time for this practice, like going to the gym or doing yoga. Rachel and the doctor discuss the importance of integrating and accepting the wounded parts of oneself with love and kindness. Rachel emphasizes allowing those parts to fully express their pain and emotions in a safe space, followed by reality testing to gain perspective, self-care, and moving forward as an integrated adult self. The key is bridging the resourced adult self with the parts desperately needing love and approval, not letting the wounded child parts take over but healing them through this process of acceptance and integration. Dr. and Rachel discussed the emotional release process and the importance of privately acknowledging and letting go of emotions before sharing them with others. They emphasized the need to assess when it's appropriate to express feelings and when it's necessary to let them go privately. Rachel also highlighted the importance of not judging emotions as good or bad but understanding their messages and allowing oneself to feel pain as a natural part of being human. She encouraged people to become skilled at emotional release to feel better and more resilient.…
