    From Trauma to Transformation: Rewriting Our Subconscious Stories

    In this episode of The Light Inside, host Jeffrey Besecker delves into the complexities of our inner truths and the stories we tell ourselves and others. He discusses how our mental snapshots may not accurately reflect our true selves and how these distorted narratives can obscure our essence.  The episode explores the transformative journey of unearthing these narratives, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and connection. Listeners will learn about suggestibility, a little-known psychological tactic that can help foster commonality and understanding among individuals.  Our mental snapshots often fail to reflect our true selves, leading to murky and misleading stories about ourselves and others. Today, we explore the transformative journey of unearthing and challenging these narratives, freeing us from constraints that obscure our true essence. We introduce a little-known psychological tactic called suggestibility, which helps us find commonality and connection with one another. Suggestibility, rooted in behavioral science, cognitive psychology, and social influence research, plays a significant role in shaping individual and group behavior, attitudes, and decision-making. Our guest, Gareth Gwyn, shares insights on how polarizing social topics trigger our internal world and how inner change can lead to societal reconciliation. Gareth emphasizes the importance of understanding subconscious scripts, which are often shaped by implicit memories and past experiences. These scripts can polarize our perspectives and trigger inherent biases, affecting our relationships on both micro and macro levels. Timestamps: [00:02:35] Suggestibility and its impact.

    Navigating Emotional Trauma: Unraveling the Mere Exposure Effect

    Exploring the impact of emotional trauma on our decision-making, The Light Inside delves into how buried emotions can lead us astray in life.  The mere exposure effect and subconscious biases play a significant role in shaping our perceptions and emotional responses. As discussed in the podcast episode, the mere exposure effect describes our tendency to develop preferences for things simply because we are familiar with them. This familiarity principle can lead us to favor familiar patterns and misinterpret unrelated events as significant. Our subconscious biases, influenced by repeated exposure to certain experiences, can skew our perceptions and lead to flawed emotional responses.  For example, if we have repeatedly encountered criticism in the past, our minds may hyper-focus on and react strongly to even the slightest hint of criticism in the present. This hypervigilance is a result of well-worn neural pathways shaped by repeated exposure, making certain triggers feel almost inevitable. Unraveling the connection between cognitive biases and emotional triggers, the episode uncovers the core causes of our unconscious behaviors.  Tune in to discover how to navigate through the subconscious mindfields and address hidden emotional remnants for personal growth and adaptability. Timestamps: [00:01:04] The mere exposure effect. [00:08:23] Parataxic distortions and subconscious biases. [00:13:44] Unresolved shadow material. [00:15:30] Offering support during tough times. To uncover unresolved shadow material and emotional triggers, consider adopting these three empowering habits: 1. Daily Reflection: Dedicate time each day for introspection to recognize patterns in your thoughts and emotions.  Use journaling or meditation to explore your feelings and reactions, uncovering underlying triggers and unresolved issues. 2. Emotional Tracking: Keep a log of your emotional responses to various situations.  Note instances where you feel intense reactions and examine the context. This practice helps identify recurring themes and unresolved shadow material. 3. Therapeutic Practices: Engage in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to explore and integrate different parts of your psyche, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge and reframe irrational thoughts. Both practices provide structured approaches to understanding and addressing emotional triggers and shadow material. These habits, combined with therapeutic practices, can help you gain deeper insights into your subconscious patterns and foster personal growth. Ready to take the first step on this journey today—your empowered, balanced self is waiting. Reach out! We are here to catch you whenever you feel like you are falling.  JOIN US ON INSTAGRAM: @thelightinsidepodcast SUBSCRIBE: pod.link/thelightinside https:www.thelightinside.site Credits: Music Score: Epidemic Sound Executive Producer: Jeffrey Besecker Production: Aloft Media Program Director: Anna Getz ----- To support the summary about the role of subconscious biases, here’s a brief overview of relevant empirical evidence: Mere Exposure Effect: Research by Robert Zajonc (1968) demonstrated that people develop a preference for stimuli they are repeatedly exposed to, even without conscious awareness. Confirmation Bias: Studies by Peter Wason (1960) and others show that individuals tend to seek and interpret information in ways that confirm their pre-existing beliefs. Parataxic Distortion: Research on parataxic distortion by George Kelly (1955) and others indicates that individuals often project past experiences onto current situations, leading to misinterpretations of others' actions based on familiar emotional triggers. Emotional Regulation and Hyper-Vigilance: Studies on emotional regulation (Gross, 2002) and hyper-vigilance (Mathews & MacLeod, 1985)Show how familiar emotional patterns from past experiences heighten sensitivity to perceived threats, triggering defensive or avoidant behaviors.

    From Fight or Flight to Inner Peace: Mastering Emotional Responses

    In this episode of The Light Inside, we delve into the intricate world of emotional triggers and self-regulation. We all experience moments when a seemingly innocuous comment or situation sends us spiraling into an emotional storm. Whether it's a partner's remark or a social media comment, our emotions can distort reality, leading to unnecessary conflict and misunderstanding. We explore the concept of the autonomic ladder, a metaphorical escalator that represents our emotional states. Our guest, John Eli Gouray, provides insights into how our autonomic nervous system, through a process called neuroception, constantly scans our environment for cues of safety and danger. This system can trigger either a calm, parasympathetic response or an aroused, sympathetic response, often without our conscious awareness. John explains the three primary states of the autonomic ladder: 1. Dorsal Vagal State: Associated with feelings of shutdown, immobilization, and despair.2. Sympathetic State: Characterized by activation, anxiety, and a desire for movement or conflict.3. Ventral Vagal State: The state of safety, social connection, and calm. Exploring the concept of emotional triggers, this episode delves into how seemingly harmless interactions can escalate into overwhelming emotional storms. From conversations with partners to comments on social media, our reactions can be driven by our emotions, altering our perceptions and leading to unnecessary conflict. The episode questions why it's challenging to control these reactions and sheds light on the autonomic ladder, illustrating how we can quickly spiral into misunderstandings when triggered emotionally. 00:00:00 - Introduction to Emotional Triggers00:00:10 - Real-Life Examples of Emotional Triggers00:01:03 - Impact of Emotional Reactions00:01:24 - The Autonomic Ladder Explained00:02:06 - Sponsor Message: Mint Mobile00:03:42 - Understanding Nervous System Responses00:05:09 - The Role of Neuroception00:07:11 - Early Development of Emotional Patterns00:08:48 - Emotions vs. Feelings00:10:00 - Story Follows State00:11:32 - Inference and Transference in Emotional Responses00:14:10 - Autonomic Nervous System and Childhood Experiences00:17:17 - The Autonomic Ladder: Detailed Breakdown00:20:00 - Dorsal Vagal Response00:23:21 - Sympathetic State and Overachieving00:27:13 - Personal Story: Work and Self-Worth00:30:16 - Sympathetic Phase of Response00:33:31 - Motivations Behind Emotional Responses00:34:35 - Identifying Emotional States00:38:08 - Hypervigilance and Emotional Reactivity00:40:35 - Example: Walking Through a Dark Pathway00:41:13 - Ventral Vagal Response00:43:03 - Pets and Emotional Regulation00:44:31 - Intuitive Awareness of Emotional Triggers00:45:52 - Identifying Triggers and Glimmers00:48:04 - Physical Movement and Emotional Relief00:49:07 - Emotional Cleaning as an Outlet00:50:19 - Labeling and Stigmatizing Behaviors00:52:44 - Personal Experiences with Sun Exposure00:53:38 - Assumptions and Projections in Interactions00:54:33 - The Practice of Asking and Clarifying JOIN US ON INSTAGRAM: @thelightinsidepodcast SUBSCRIBE: pod.link/thelightinside https:www.thelightinside.site Credits: Featured Guest: John Eli Guray Music Score: Epidemic Sound Executive Producer: Jeffrey Besecker Mixing, Engineering, Production and Mastering: Aloft Media Executive Program Director: Anna Getz

    The Hidden Influence of the Authority Bias: Navigating the Maze of Expert Influence

    Welcome to another enlightening episode of The Light Inside. I'm your host, Jeffrey Besecker. Today, we delve into the intriguing concept of authority bias—our tendency to place undue trust in authority figures and experts, often at the expense of critical thinking and personal judgment. The Light Inside is a journalistic podcast exploring the journey of everyday people toward beneficial change in their primary subconscious behavioral patterns. These shifts in behavior empower them to live richer, happier, and more fulfilling lives. We revisit the recurring segment we like to call “Mind Warp” exploring the common cognitive shortcuts and thinking traps that often hinder our best decision-making.  The Appeal to Authority fallacy subtly shapes our choices by leading us to trust expert opinions without critically evaluating their validity, often overriding our own judgment. This cognitive bias can result in poor decision-making, as we defer to authority figures even when their expertise may be irrelevant or flawed. This episode of The Light Inside explores the balance between healthy skepticism and authoritative feedback in fostering intellectual humility.  We delve into how our tendency to place authority figures on pedestals can lead to confirmation bias and uninformed decision-making. The discussion emphasizes the importance of critically evaluating information while remaining open to learning from credible sources for personal growth and informed decision-making. Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction to Authority Bias [00:00:10] The Role of Thought Leaders [00:00:32] Balancing Skepticism and Authority [00:00:54] Social Status and Trust in Authority [00:01:25] Cognitive Shortcuts and Confirmation Bias [00:02:07] Exploring Authority Bias [00:02:18] Authority Bias - Trusting experts.
