    Attachment Styles Deep Dive (Valentines Members Gift)

    In this episode, Dr. K provides a deep-dive lecture into Attachment Theory, moving beyond individual psychology to explore how our internal "wiring" creates the specific dynamics of our romantic relationships. He breaks down why we are often attracted to the very people who trigger our deepest insecurities and provides a scientific roadmap for healing your attachment style. What to expect in this episode: • The Three Major Styles: A breakdown of why 50% of people are Secure, while the rest fall into Anxious (fear of abandonment) or Avoidant (fear of closeness) patterns rooted in childhood experiences. • The "Match Made in Hell": An analysis of the magnetic attraction between anxious and avoidant individuals, creating a cycle where one person chases while the other retreats. • The Six Types of Love: How ancient Greek concepts like Ludus (game-playing) and Mania (obsessive) perfectly describe the modern behaviors of avoidant and anxious partners. • Protest Behaviors and Mixed Signals: A look at the "chameleon" effect in anxious individuals and the "devaluing" strategies avoidants use to keep people at arm's length. • The Path to Security: Practical tools for moving toward a Secure Attachment, including the development of mentalization (understanding your partner’s mind) and inter-subjectivity (blending lives without losing your identity).HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Your Soulmate Isn’t On Hinge

    In this episode, Dr. K explains why finding a "spark" feels harder than ever in a world dominated by dating apps. He explores the biological difference between logical compatibility and true romantic passion, showing how our modern approach to dating might actually be short-circuiting our ability to fall in love. What to expect in this episode: • Compatibility vs. Passion: Why treating dating like a job interview uses the wrong part of your brain and prevents you from feeling chemistry. • The "Spark" Calculus: A look at the Rate of Intimacy Model, which explains why passion comes from how fast you learn about someone, not just what you know. • The Dating App Trap: How having too much information upfront prevents the dopamine hit required to feel a deep romantic connection. • Dopamine Burnout: How modern habits like social media and video games can physically exhaust your brain's ability to fall in love. • Leveling Up Together: An introduction to the Self-Expansion Model, where two individuals transition from a "spark" into building a shared life as a single unit.HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Why You Should Stop Watching YouTube (Yes even this Podcast)

    In this episode, Dr. K explores the "insidious" reality of the self-help industry: why we are watching more "productive" content than ever, yet seeing fewer real-world results. He breaks down the psychology of how our brains trick us into thinking we’re improving when we’re actually just being entertained. What to expect in this episode: • The "Sneaky" Thought Behind Procrastination: A deep dive into why we choose self-help videos over comedy sketches as a way to avoid the guilt of wasting time. • A Look Behind the YouTube Curtain: Dr. K explains why creators are forced to make content that is "palatable" for the algorithm rather than what is scientifically proven to be helpful. • The Danger of the Second Screen: An analysis of why treating self-help as "free" or "bonus" content makes your brain unwilling to pay the actual mental cost of real-life change. • Why Motivation Always Fails: An explanation of "Motivational Interviewing" and the specific point where the rising cost of effort inevitably outweighs far-away rewards. • Flipping the Learning Script: A framework for moving away from passive consumption and toward a "targeted" strategy where the work comes first and the videos come second.HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

    You’re Setting Goals That Quietly Work Against You

    Dr. K breaks down the science of why 80% of New Year's resolutions fail and how to use behavioral research to make changes stick. He explains why common strategies like accountability partners can backfire and how to move from simply wanting a change to being ready to achieve it. • The Accountability Trap: Outsourcing responsibility to a partner often leads to shared failure rather than sustained personal growth. • The 14-Failure Rule: Data shows that people who successfully change for two years fail an average of 14 times along the way. • Preparation Over Desire: Simply wanting a change has no bearing on success; you must be prepared and ready for the cost of change. • Build Self-Efficacy: Setting specific, attainable "SMART" goals proves to your mind that you are actually capable of succeeding. • Choose Approach Goals: Moving toward a positive reward is more sustainable than just trying to move away from a negative state.

    Your Problems Aren't A Personality

    Dr. K explores how turning suffering into an identity prevents growth and why relying on willpower often leads to burnout. He shares practical tools to find internal motivation and master difficult social interactions. • The Identity Trap: Building your personality around your problems makes recovery feel like a betrayal of yourself. • The Willpower Paradox: Forcing yourself to do things is an independent risk factor for future stagnation and action crises. • Social S-Tier Moves: Use specific communication hacks to handle criticism and accept compliments without feeling defensive. • The Science of Cheating: Many students use AI because modern systems reward grades and efficiency over actual deep learning. • Action vs. State: Successful people focus on doing the work rather than chasing a specific emotional state or feelingHG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Procrastination Holds You Back

    Dr. K moves past complicated neuroscientific explanations to explain that procrastination is actually a manipulation by a primitive mind. He describes the mind as a "feral animal" that exists outside of your true self, constantly generating "false procrastination" to keep you from doing the work that matters. What to expect in this episode: • Your Mind is Not You: Learning to see the mind as activity rather than an object, allowing you to create the distance necessary to stop listening to its excuses. • The Boredom Scam: How the mind uses feelings of boredom and the thought that an action is "not enough" to trick you into returning to effortless activities like scrolling. • Training through Futility: Why doing "foolish" or "futile" actions—like meditation or raw-dogging existence—is the only way to prove to your mind that you are actually in chargeHG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

    How High Performers Get Ahead

    Dr. K examines the psychological profiles of billionaires, CEOs, and elite creators to reveal that their success often stems from being "broken in the right way". He challenges the idea that high performance is just about financial advantage, focusing instead on the internal insecurities and psychological pressures that drive exceptional people to outwork everyone else. What to expect in this episode: • The Performance Trap: How growing up with conditional love creates a lifelong insecurity that can only be quieted by achieving at a very high level. • Healthy Entitlement: Why elite achievers have the agency to leave toxic situations and the confidence to ask for help rather than complaining about the world's unfairness. • The Contentment Debuff: Why the biggest difference between high and low performers is the refusal to feel satisfied after finishing a simple taskHG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.
