Get to the root of emotional issues and learn the best way to relate to yourself and others by honoring your personal boundaries and making decisions that are in alignment with what's most important to you.
This is not a "common-sense" personal growth and development show. You won't be told to think positively or create affirmations. The Overwhelmed Brain is about accessing that deeper mental and emotional strength inside you so that you can decrease or even eliminate old fears and evolve into the person you want to be.
Learn what your parents or caretakers never taught you about emotional wellness and creating strong, non-toxic bonds with others.
If you want the exact instructions that will help improve your life, you're in the right place.

Trusting someone to make the right choice
If you find yourself witnessing someone approaching a perilous situation in everyday life, can you trust that they'll make the right decision to avert the danger? This isn't about catastrophic events like car crashes but rather common situations where you believe someone could potentially make a poor choice that might even affect you. It can be incredibly challenging to resist intervening and trust that they'll ultimately make the right decision.

Are your feelings wrong?
Some people say, "You shouldn't feel that way," or even worse, "You don't feel that way!" In either case, you can be tricked into believing your own thoughts, feelings, and emotions are invalid. If that happens, you can also be tricked into staying in a situation that is very harmful to you.

First impressions
I’m at a pivotal place in my development, specifically working toward emotional maturity and a more consistent sense of overall well being. I’m deep into the hard stuff, those issues that have been there for decades. Based on the podcast description I felt like this would be start.
I listened to the latest episode while out on my daily walk and found it enjoyable to listen to, easy on the ears, informative and especially personal. The content and delivery resonated with me, so much so, that I became suspicious that he had managed to spy my journals.
I’m looking forward to more.

He has the most original tools for dealing with relationships, heartbreak and life in general. He’s saving my life! Sounds like my Dad and Jeff Goldbloom had a baby!
