Building Motivation Using Your Core Values

Feeling Burnt Out or Numb? Apathy is a Defense Mechanism Do you ever sit down to work on something important and realize you just… don't care? It’s not laziness; it’s a “Shield of Apathy." In this video, Chris Nackos explores why we lose our drive, the psychology of learned helplessness, and how to transition from fleeting extrinsic rewards to lasting, intrinsic motivation. If you’ve been feeling emotionally numb, think of it as a signal—not a character flaw. We’re breaking down how to stop "rolling with the punches" and start moving toward a life built on your core values.

Why You Feel Overwhelmed: A Therapist’s Guide to Releasing Emotional Baggage

Ever felt like dropping a spoon might actually be the end of the world?** You aren't "mean" and you aren’t losing your mind—you’ve simply reached Max Capacity. In this episode of The Seaglass Perspective, we take a look at the invisible weight of emotional baggage. We often think of baggage as old trauma, but there is a daily version that builds up when we repress stress instead of processing it. From physical tension and headaches to sudden irritability and "crying at the drop of a hat," your body is telling you that your emotional cup is full. Join us as we explore why emotional expression is a sign of strength, not weakness, and learn practical (and slightly embarrassing!) tools to finally set those heavy bags down.
