4d ago44:13

44:13

Have you considered that the inability to self-correct your drinking habits could be a sign of trauma?

53:26

How do your beliefs about money impact your sense of personal power?

1M ago1:09:13

1:09:13

Why is it that sometimes we can be hyper-focused and productive, yet at other times, the simplest tasks feel impossible?

How do you make sense of the fact that, even though you really do want to drink less, you keep making the same mistakes? You know what you should do.

2M ago1:05:49

1:05:49

Has your relationship with your partner become a significant source of stress?

3M ago57:24

57:24

Is anxiety one of the main reasons why you crave alcohol? Because drinking is the simplest way to shut down your mind?

3M ago51:38

51:38

How do you respond when you hear yourself say, “I can’t keep doing this?” Most of us crack the whip and keep doing it. We beat ourselves up for being weak or undisciplined.

1:05:30

Does your brain call bullshit on positive affirmations? Today’s topic was inspired by a client who is struggling with negative self-talk.

54:30

How do you respond when you’re feeling overwhelmed and worried about everything happening in your life? Most high-achievers think that success comes from the ability to perform under pressure.

How often do you pour a drink that you wish you had the willpower to resist? There’s a big difference between knowing what you should do and having the motivation to follow through.

5M ago50:47

50:47

Do you feel stuck in your marriage and assume that life after divorce will only get worse?

Were you raised to believe that thoughts and feelings that don’t align with your religious values are wrong and even “sinful?” Many of us who grew up in church are in the habit of ignoring emotions that contradict what we’ve been taught to believe is “right.” But rejecting our emotions requires us to reject ourselves, leaving us fractured instead o…

Are you the type of person who tends to over-do it, because if one is good, ten is better? The inability to self-regulate is a hallmark symptom of ADHD.

Have you considered that the reason it feels hard to drink in moderation might be that you’re operating on bad information?
