    Do you struggle with positive self-talk and overcoming obstacles? If so this episode is for you!

    In this engaging conversation, Kam Knight discusses the concepts of trauma, resistance, and resilience, exploring how internal resistance can hinder personal growth. He shares insights from his own journey, including his aha moment during the pandemic, and emphasizes the importance of self-talk in overcoming mental blocks. The discussion also delves into the impact of childhood experiences and media on our expectations in relationships, as well as practical strategies for identifying and overcoming resistance. Kam offers valuable resources for listeners looking to enhance their personal development journey. Takeaways Resistance is a part of our brain that holds us back. Understanding internal resistance can help us overcome obstacles. Our wants and desires can create resistance. Core needs from childhood impact our ability to pursue goals. Unrealistic expectations in relationships stem from media influence. Identifying blocks is crucial for personal growth. Self-talk can rewire our brains and change our self-image. Small actions can lead to significant changes over time. Resistance often manifests through avoidance behaviors. Recognizing the tricks of resistance can help us take action. Questions: "Why can I get stuff done?" "Desire doesn't lead to action." "Resistance manifests in other ways."

    Understanding Remission: A New Perspective on Mental Health

    In this episode of Trauma Rockstars, Michael Brandt, a certified health and wellness coach, discusses the importance of health coaching in the context of mental health, particularly for individuals in remission from depression and anxiety. He emphasizes the role of accountability, setting SMART goals, and the need for personalized approaches to recovery. The conversation also touches on the gaps in research regarding mental health treatments, the impact of medication, and the significance of resilience and self-advocacy in the healing journey. Michael shares his personal experiences with depression and the transformative power of finding one's unique path to recovery. Takeaways Health and wellness coaching is essential for individuals in remission from mental health issues. Setting SMART goals can significantly aid in recovery and self-efficacy. Accountability is a crucial component of achieving personal goals. Journaling is a powerful tool for establishing priorities and reflecting on progress. There is a growing recognition of the importance of health coaching in the medical community. Research on the long-term efficacy of antidepressants is limited and often inconclusive. Personal stories of recovery can inspire hope and resilience in others. Trauma can have a profound impact on mental health, often requiring deeper exploration. Each individual's healing journey is unique and may require out-of-the-box solutions. Being your own hero is a vital mindset for personal growth and recovery.
