Professor/Imam Benjamin Bilal is our guest speaker on this last rebroadcast show with his topic "Respect For Our Inherent Human Worth." This is his show discussion statement: No baby is born consciously knowing what his or her "race" or "religion" is. We are all born into this world, however, with natural instincts, urges and tendencies that are designed to save us from danger and attach us to family members and to a human community of safety and security. Inaccurate ideas of race and religion have severed natural family ties, created false ethnic and racial superiority theories, and have allowed many in history to very arrogantly step into the position that only a true "Creator" should occupy. In order to have peace and progress on earth, we must first return to a respect for our inherent human worth as our Creator created it. - We explore the solutions to peaceful co-existence on earth with our fellow humans whether we be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Agnostic, Atheist or other. The first question should be: 'Am I a true human?'"
Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will continue his series on the parenting style of Indoctrination and Insulation entitled "POSITIVE INDOCTRINATION- a Chosen Parenting Style" - He will talk about using this technique of Indoctrination for positive seed planting instead of detrimental programming as we know indoctrination to be. Positive indoctrination includes teaching your children to have courage and honesty; to love truth and to love learning; to learn and appreciate empathy; to be empathic with others; to stand up for their rights; Positive indoctrination provides the insulation necessary for the negative elements the child will be encountering.
Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will join us again with his series on the parenting styles of Insulation, Isolation and now Indoctrination, on this rebroadcast show. He was saying that the child naturally feels like they are safe and that they can express themselves without feeling like they are wrong. This happens with an Insulation parenting style. Pampering comes in the form of giving more to the child when they haven’t earned more. Pampering is a form of Isolation. Indoctrination is the new parenting style that will added to the previous two. It is when a set of beliefs are introduced and aggressively taught in order for the beliefs to be planted in the subconscious. Dr. Brown will look at the school age of 5 and see what effects these parenting styles have on their developing minds.
Clinical Psychologist, author and returning guest Dr. E. Douglass Brown is back with us, on this rebroadcast show, to continue his series on these two parenting styles - INSULATION and ISOLATION. He says, “Some parents try not to expose a child to ANY situations that interfere with their fantasy-like views and their fantasies about what a family should be like. In the case of INSULATION, the parents shield the person from the harm of too much exposure to family and outside conflicts. This is a effective style of parenting - In this part 3 he will continue his examination of how the child's life unfolds in their developmental stages starting at age 2.
Author and Clinical Psychologist E. Douglass Brown will join us today, on a rebroadcast show, to continue his series on ISOLATION vs INSULATION. He says in isolation “Some parents try not to expose a child to ANY situations that interfere with their fantasy-like views and their fantasies about what a family should be like. In the case of insulation, the parents shield the person from the harm of too much exposure to family and outside conflicts. - in this part 2 he will examine how the child's life unfolds in their developmental stages starting at age 2 with Isolation and Insulation.
Dr. E. Douglass Brown will join us on a rebroacast show, with his topic of ISOLATION & INSULATION. This deals with the effects on children and adults when they have been sheltered from all conflict in the home. He calls this "Isolation." He also says, "Some parents and guardians try not to expose a child to ANY situations that interfere with their fantasy-like views and their fantasies about what a family should be like. In their 'lovy-duvy' world, a parent is heard, heeded, and hugged 24-7.” This does not reflect the real world and Dr. Brown will talk about the emotional consequences that follow this kind of childhood experiences.
Dr. E. Douglass Brown with continue in this series on Resolution and Emotional Life, part 4. He will examine the life of our children who did not experience resolution in their household after seeing conflict. He will look at how their latter years will probably turn out with this emotional void in their subconscious. When resolutions are not witnessed, dysfunctional relationships are guaranteed in their future. He will talk about 'Emotional Alzhiemers' and how our seniors are affected if they have not reconciled issues in their earlier years
Author and Psychologist Dr. E. Douglass Brown is back with us, on a rebroadcast show, as he will continue his theme of Resolution and Emotional Life, now part 3. Dr. Brown talked in our last discussion about how conflict in the home without resolutions affect the child. Dr. Brown was saying that when the child does not witness resolutions in the home, the toxic effects of their negative emotions only increase, like fear, anxiety and depression. When the child views these conflicts and they become a pattern of behavior in the home, that child is more likely going to develop some anti-social behaviors, carry anger around with him, getting into fights, having behavior issues at school. He will talk about this child now entering adult life and how this un-resolved issue affects his/her relationships and emotionality. For you adults this series is important to reflect on your own childhood and see what fits for you.
Psychologist Dr. E. Douglass Brown will join us again to continue his discussion from his last visit on this rebroadcast show. It is just as important to clean up after a storm as it is to learn how to endure a storm. Imagine what a neighborhood looks like after a storm if no one cleans up. Storm after storm, debris and wreckage just pile up. This scenario is liken to what happens when a child never or rarely sees individuals in arguments and conflicts reconcile with each other. There is no closure - no return to a sense that the world is both safe and caring. The child - now an adult - experiences repeated disagreements and disappointments, and is shackled to the view that his or her cynical negative feelings are just being "realistic" about life. He will start with the effects in the adolescent period. We will be able to see from this analogy how our own lives have been affected pro and con.

Douglass Brown will join us as our special guest speaker on this re-broadcast show by popular demand - RESOLUTION and EMOTIONAL LIFE part 1 Re: the topic today he says, "It is just as important to clean up after a storm as it is to learn how to endure a storm.

Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown, on this re-broadcast show, is contiuing his discussion about the Bliss Point in our Children part 2. The makings of the spiritual bliss point are deeply embedded in each infant. Whether the makings of the spiritual bliss point become an actualized experience depends on the person, once an infant, learning the difference between his or her true self and “somebody” that he or she has come to believe is “me.” Wise parents encourage a child to ask the right questions and to seek and accept the right answers. Unwise parents encourage a child to only ask questions when given permission from others and to accept answers endorsed by them and others. Wise parenting models and guides towards the bliss point. Unwise parenting models and guides towards the "miss" point.
Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown speaking today on Bliss Point vs Ego pt 1 on this re-broadcast show. A term invented in the fast food industry, the “bliss point” refers to that point when a person experiences the maximum amount of sensory satisfaction and pleasure from tasting and eating a specific food product. Food and beverage companies spend millions of dollars in research to identify the right mixture of ingredients to place in their food and beverage products to take you to the “bliss point”- when you taste and savor their products and feel that you must consume more in order to re-experience that maximum degree of digestive satisfaction and pleasure. (Doritos chips anyone?) The more enduring “bliss point” or bliss state” is attained when you stop pretending that your ego is who you are and start to be who and what you are – a human being with a unique personality who is connected to the Ultimate Superior Spirit behind all creation. Some people call this state self- actualization or self-realization.

Certified Master Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner, Huna Practitioner, Reconnective Healing Practitioner and author Belinda Farrell speaking, on this rebroadcast show, on her topic “Forgiving the Unforgivable.” This is her show statement and description: Forgiveness is often misinterpreted. We cannot change the past or what happened to us. But we can change the meaning we give it. Learn the real meaning of "forgiveness," which is based on an ancient Hawaiian Relationship Resolution Process called "Ho'oponopono." Experience the freedom of self-forgiveness once and for all, and with that freedom, live a life unshackled to negativity, the past or limitations. She will discuss ways to forgive yourselves and others, unplug from your old non-productive stories, and step into the frequencies of your Higher Self.

Imam Benjamin Bilal speaking on this re-broadcast show addressing the timely topic of Spirituality part 2, continuing his discussion from his last visit. Regarding Spirituality he says the following:
"Spirituality" is not to be seen as separate from the material and social life of man. The material life is actually the densest form of spiritual existence, which is the "true" existence. Real life is pertaining to the life of the soul, or what I have dubbed the 'breathing conscience'. It gives birth to proper emotional, mental and psychic life - all of which are invisible and represent aspects of the spiritual life. In reality, they are all ONE! "Spirit" only means "influence" and if you can get control of the invisible things that influence your visible life on a daily basis, you can maintain control over all of the various manifestations of that life, which will allow you access to peace, freedom, and wellness. He will also compare ideals in various religions and talk about the 7 Chakras as it relates to gratitude and spirituality.

We will continue our discussion from last week, on a rebroadcast show, with our guest speaking again from Germany, Author Barbara Hofmeister. Her book, "To Be Or Not To Be - The Choice is Yours," has a guided plan to raise your self-esteem and chart a new course for your life. You can go to Amazon.com and purchase her book there. Were you ever told that it is quite normal, natural and wonderful to feel great, deep inside you? At the core and in your quiet moments you should have good feelings about yourself, place a high value on your existence and that you have a God given right to be happy. It would have been healthier for youi if you told that you were a great, unique, special creation that God has put on this earth to do miraculous things here. God has given you a mission, a talent that belongs to you, exclusively. God has certain Blessings He has created for mankind and He wants to deliver them through His special creation - YOU -
Author Barbara Hofmeister will join us in a rebroadcast show from Germany as she discusses Self-Esteem from her perspective. She will also speak from her book "To Be Or Not To Be - The Choice is Yours." She says that it is her passion and purpose to help people build their self-esteem to the extent that they dare to make their dreams come true. - High Self-Esteem speaks to the level of integrity you have; real inner confrontations won; reconciling your inner self with your outer self which is the basis of this book. It is also about assessing your real courage and how honesty is attained and internalized. High self-esteem is much more than just feeling good about your self. It is reflected in your personality, your productivity at work and at home with your family, your character, your general way with people, and the spirit that you carry with you always.
Child and Family Therapist Jef Gazley is speaking, on a rebroadcast show, talking about Relationships-Repetition Compulsion. Repetition Compulsion happens when a person experiences a trauma that becomes stuck in their subconscious. This is a reason many relationships wind up in failure, repeating dysfunctional patterns. The subconscious then attempts to resolve the trauma by reliving the experience even when that re-experience usually turns out disastrously. The resolution of that trauma occurs when the conscious mind realizes what they are doing and deactivates the compulsion through energy psychology. His website is www.asktheinternettherapist.com

Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown is speaking, or this re-broadcast show, finishing his talk about the Bliss Point. This is his 3rd installment of this special topic. He says, “Each person is a traveler who journeys first from a condition of knowing nothing, then to a condition of infantile self-obsession, then to a condition of being possessed by anyone or anything that the person thinks can induce pleasure and relieve discomfort. Some of us eventually make it to a state of freedom from bondage to fleeting urges, affiliations, and ego-attachments. That state of freedom is commonly referred to as Higher Consciousness - aka - the ‘Bliss Point.’ It is 'what I want' as I near the end of my journey – not what someone else wants for me, it is 'what I hope to become' as I near the end of my journey, not what someone else wants me to become.
Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will be our speaking , on this re-broadcast show, continuing his talki about bringing out the Bliss Point in our Children part 2.

Her discussion statement is this: - Understanding your emotions and using them for your good - Many times our emotions are considered a hinderance or a liability--that they confuse our judgment and create obstacles in the process of making good and sound decisions. However what's little understood is that our emotions are hardwired in us and therefore serve a specific and higher purpose. They are actually intended to aid us in our judgement and facilitate decision making that serves us and causes our decisions to represent who we are and what we want and need.

Imam Benjamin Bilal speaking on this re-broadcast show addressing the timely topic of Spirituality part 2, continuing his discussion from his last visit. Regarding Spirituality he says the following:
"Spirituality" is not to be seen as separate from the material and social life of man. The material life is actually the densest form of spiritual existence, which is the "true" existence. Real life is pertaining to the life of the soul, or what I have dubbed the 'breathing conscience'. It gives birth to proper emotional, mental and psychic life - all of which are invisible and represent aspects of the spiritual life. In reality, they are all ONE! "Spirit" only means "influence" and if you can get control of the invisible things that influence your visible life on a daily basis, you can maintain control over all of the various manifestations of that life, which will allow you access to peace, freedom, and wellness. He will also compare ideals in various religions and talk about the 7 Chakras as it relates to gratitude and spirituality.

Author and Professor Dr. Maurie Pressman will be speaking, on a rebroadcast show, to talk about Spiritual Psychology. Re: what this concept is, he says, "There is a power within your mind that is hidden from you as well as others. When you find it you will have the ability to do minor miracles such as to heal yourself and others, to know yourself and your ability to influence others silently, to move your performance up and up, and to love, love yourself, others and all creatures better - much better. It is the power that leads to success in your own field in your own way." - Spiritual Psychotherapy. This combines the best of traditional western practices with the high and powerful regions of the mind.
Clinical Psychologist and Author Dr. E. Douglass Brown is speaking on this re-broadcast talking about Emotions and The Self. He says that emotions are as essential to a person's inner growth as eating vegetables are to staying physically healthy. Emotions tell us how we feel about ourselves, others around us, and our environment. When it comes to self-development and reaching the psychospiritual "bliss point," a person has to come to like and prefer his or her true Self over the Ego. That which is in harmony with the true self must be more emotionally appealing and satisfying to a person than ego-centered pleasures.
Author, Medical Director and Founder of the Pressman Center for Mind/Body Wellness, Clinical Professor Emeritus at Temple Medical School in Psychiatry and Chairman Emeritus of the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, Dr. Maurie Pressman will be speaking on this re-broadcast show. His statement on Co-Dependency is this:
"Co-dependency or addiction are outgrowths of the way we work as personalities, and the "cure" arises from knowing the self and calling upon the magnificent power of the soul-within. That is why it is so good and so important to know one’s Self. The next thing is that there are transactions between people under all circumstances, and a dynamic equilibrium is established and maintained, unless some crisis comes along. In the case of co-dependency we mean that there is a transaction between partners in which one personality is adjusted to the other – and maintains the pattern of the other for good or bad. In the case of addiction it is for the not-so-good as far as society is concerned, for it leads to a debilitation on the part of the addict both by the addicting drug and the withering of personal strength by being overly supported by the sponsor."

Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will start a new theme with his topic of Bliss Point vs Ego, on this re-broadcast show. A term invented in the fast food industry, the “bliss point” refers to that point when a person experiences the maximum amount of sensory satisfaction and pleasure from tasting and eating a specific food product. Food and beverage companies spend millions of dollars in research to identify the right mixture of ingredients to place in their food and beverage products to take you to the “bliss point”- when you taste and savor their products and feel that you must consume more in order to re-experience that maximum degree of digestive satisfaction and pleasure. (Doritos chips anyone?) The more enduring “bliss point” or bliss state” is attained when you stop pretending that your ego is who you are and start to be who and what you are – a human being with a unique personality who is connected to the Ultimate Superior Spirit behind all creation. Some people call this state self- actualization or self-realization.
Clinical Psychologist Dr. E. Douglass Brown is speaking on his final Part 3 series on Bliss Point vs Ego, on this re-broadcast show. He says, “Each person is a traveler who journeys first from a condition of knowing nothing, then to a condition of infantile self-obsession, then to a condition of being possessed by anyone or anything that the person thinks can induce pleasure and relieve discomfort. Some of us eventually make it to a state of freedom from bondage to fleeting urges, affiliations, and ego-attachments. That state of freedom is commonly referred to as Higher Consciousness - aka - the ‘Bliss Point.’ It is 'what I want' as I near the end of my journey – not what someone else wants for me, it is 'what I hope to become' as I near the end of my journey, not what someone else wants me to become.”
Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will continue his talk on Bliss Point part 2, re-broadcast show, talking about bringing out the Bliss Point. The makings of the spiritual bliss point are deeply embedded in each infant. Whether the makings of the spiritual bliss point become an actualized experience depends on the person, once an infant, learning the difference between his or her true self and “somebody” that he or she has come to believe is “me.” Wise parents encourage a child to ask the right questions and to seek and accept the right answers. Unwise parents encourage a child to only ask questions when given permission from others and to accept answers endorsed by them and others. Wise parenting models and guides towards the bliss point. Unwise parenting models and guides towards the "miss" point.

Dr. Sheran Mattson will be our special guest speaker talking about how EFT-(Energy Freedom Technique) can be used to unblock emotional areas which are preventing our future growth. EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture, except needles aren’t used. Instead, a simple two pronged process is used wherein the practitioner (1) mentally "tunes in" to specific issues while (2) stimulating certain meridian points on the body by tapping on them with their fingertips. Individuals identify negative emotions all the way from childhood. Each negative emotion, from past experiences, is the result of an energy disruption in the body. These negative occurrences are stored in the brain and until they are released, they continue to cause challenges. By simply identifying the negative experience and tapping through it, the energy is released and no longer affects one in the present. Here is her website for more information and free offers - http://sheranmattson.com

-
Confidence Will Accomplish. Confidence in our relationships can make a person more attractive and appealing than physical beauty. We will discuss the place of confidence in developing good relationships.
-
Be a Humble Hero: Is this an oxymoron? Or is it possible to be both?
-
Gentleness - the antithesis of anger
-
Love - Love is definitely an emotion. A wonderful emotion. But is it more than this? What can we do to develop love within our relationships?

Inspirational Speaker Robert Brzezinski will be speaking on this re-broadcast show with his topic on Faith. He says, "Faith is so much more than the belief in things unseen. It is the willingness to take a stand for those things unseen. It is speaking our truth even in the face of apparent adversity. Faith is always believing in a Power Greater than ourselves and that each of us has the ability to use that Power in the Creation of the life we truly desire."
Clinical Psychologist Dr. E. Douglas Brown will be speaking on this rebroadcast show.. He says, "The art of speaking and listening demands more than a tongue, lips and ears. Before a toddler can utter a word, a toddler can recognize the sound of a word and associates it with pleasant or unpleasant experiences. Parents should teach their children that communicating and listening is easy, fun, and exciting." Many children don’t communicate what they are truly feeling unless they feel comfortable in doing so. If the environment is not supporting their spirit, if folks are berating them, abusing them, ignoring them, or just not being loving enough, they are not going to feel like opening up. That makes them more vulnerable to more negative energies. This is also good for adults so they can see what was missing in their childshood and improve and/or learn these valuable skills for their healthy relationships.

Author and Psychologist Dr. E. Douglass Brown is back with us, on a rebroadcast show, as he will continue his theme of Resolution and Emotional Life, now part 3. Dr. Brown talked in our last discussion about how conflict in the home without resolutions affect the child. Dr. Brown was saying that when the child does not witness resolutions in the home, the toxic effects of their negative emotions only increase, like fear, anxiety and depression. When the child views these conflicts and they become a pattern of behavior in the home, that child is more likely going to develop some anti-social behaviors, carry anger around with him, getting into fights, having behavior issues at school. He will talk about this child now entering adult life and how this un-resolved issue affects his/her relationships and emotionality. For you adults this series is important to reflect on your own childhood and see what fits for you.
Psychologist Dr. E. Douglass Brown will join us again to continue his discusssion from his last visit on this rebroadcast show. It is just as important to clean up after a storm as it is to learn how to endure a storm. Imagine what a neighborhood looks like after a storm if no one cleans up. Storm after storm, debris and wreckage just pile up. This scenario is liken to what happens when a child never or rarely sees individuals in arguments and conflicts reconcile with each other. There is no closure - no return to a sense that the world is both safe and caring. The child - now an adult - experiences repeated disagreements and disappointments, and is shackled to the view that his or her cynical negative feelings are just being "realistic" about life. He will start with the effects in the adolescent period.

International Spiritual Teacher, Energy Healing Master Arnaud Saint-Paul is our special guest speaker on a LIVE Reconnected Show talking about Abundance Thru Words. Arnaud says that it has been proven many times over, words condition our life, experience and reality. Through the use of carefully crafted and positive inspirational messages based on the unique world-renown HealThruWords Inspirational Quotes, he has created a unique 90-day program named Abundance Thru Words. Abundance Thru Words help us understand what Abundance really is and how we can invite and experience it in our lives. How is this different than affirmations that are generally used? Affirmations are repeated mind-oriented sentences that will only and always reaffirm the existing belief system. The person using affirmations will always use them within the same framework or thought pattern.
What our HealThruWords Inspirational Quotes do is to help the person shift his/her track, change to a new framework or pattern. As he/she switches to a higher tone (/tonality), s/he can then create new unrelated thought patterns not related to the former framework. Each quote speaks to the 'heart' of the reader and help him release these outdated beliefs systems. Therefore self-talk patterns are upgraded to less negative ones, creating a new space, a new identity from which new choices are made and new outcomes experienced.

Child and Family Therapist Jef Gazley is our special guest on a LIVE show talking about Relationships-Repetition Compulsion. Repetition Compulsion happens when a person experiences a trauma that becomes stuck in their subconscious. This is a reason many relationships wind up in failure, repeating dysfunctional patterns. The subconscious then attempts to resolve the trauma by reliving the experience even when that re-experience usually turns out disastrously. The resolution of that trauma occurs when the conscious mind realizes what they are doing and deactivates the compulsion through energy psychology. His website is www.asktheinternettherapist.com
Author, Life Coach, Radio Talk-Show Host of this Reconnected Show, Personal Development Specialist Nazim Rashid is speaking on a rebroadcast show speaking about Forgiveness. Forgiveness has to be incorporated before any of repairing operation takes place. Nazim will be examining various emotional episodes which will, quite naturally, bring up those old feelings again. When you accept to forgive those who have caused you pain on one level or another, you are then separating the emotions that are connecting you and them. Not forgiving keeps you attached to them. Whatever they do affects you in some way or another. Those burdens from the past become the burdens of your present and future. www.cloudsofabundance.com

Clinical Psychologist and Author Dr. E. Douglass Brown is back with us on this rebroadcast show talking about Emotions and The Self. He says that emotions are as essential to a person's inner growth as eating vegetables are to staying physically healthy. Emotions tell us how we feel about ourselves, others around us, and our environment. When it comes to self-development and reaching the psychospiritual "bliss point," a person has to come to like and prefer his or her true self over the ego. That which is in harmony with the true self must be more emotionally appealing and satisfying to a person than ego-centered pleasures.

Clinical Psychologist and Author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will be our guest speaker today with a very timely topic Children's Stories - a Help or a Hindrance. He says, "All children’s stories are not equal. Just because it’s called a “children story,” does not mean that it is good for children. Let’s look at the qualities of children’s stories that help to develop a child’s mind and imagination, and at so-called children’s stories/fables/nursery rhymes that hinder a child’s emotional and psychological development. Beliefs and myths will be examined.
Author, America’s Leading Authentic Voice Doctor®, Norma T. Hollis will speaking, on a rebroadcast show, on how we can bring out the spiritual genius in our children and help them stay grounded in their own spirituality. Norma helps people find, live and share their authentic voice which she refers to as the seed of purpose that lives within. Her focus is helping experts and authorities acknowledge their authentic voice and cash in on it. She’s a 17 year veteran of the speaking industry and is author of The Process to Become a Professional Speaker, Ten Steps to Authenticity, the Authenticity Assessment, Authenticity Grid and the Authentic Voice System. Her work with Children's Spirituality is to help parents acknowledge the natural gifts and talents of their children to raise them toward those gifts so the child can live an authentic life. Schools focus on mental health and churches on religious education. Children's Spirituality focuses on the spirit of the child - who the child is and who the child can become based on the energy that lives within.
Therapist Jef Gazley willl be our special guest speaker on this rebroadcast show. His statement on Co-Dependency is this: The definition of co-dependence is the tendency to desperately attempt to take care of other people to such an extent that the needs of the caretaker are ignored. Codependency was first identified by working with alcoholic families in the early 1980’s while noticing how the mates of chemically dependent people parented their partners. Codependency was first thought to occur only as a reaction to someone in the family being addicted. It is now known that co-dependence also results from growing up in a dysfunctional family of any type. These families often emotionally abandon their children and shame them. These children react by trying to become perfect, control everything, and “fix” their parents and later their spouse and children in the hope that they will be loved and gain approval.

"Author and international healer, Jennifer Elizabeth Masters says, "Everyone at some point has issues with codependency and addiction." Underneath it all are feelings of not being good enough. Focusing on ourselves with a soft focus instead of beating ourselves up changes our perspective. We are very hard on ourselves. Being compassionate, loving and tender with ourselves is what The Divine wants from us. It does no one any good to be self deprecating. Self love is the key to healing all emotional suffering and pain. Here is her website - http://jenniferelizabethmasters.com/
Child, Family Therapist and author Midge Noble is our special guest speaker on this rebroadcast show. Midge will talk about how important it is for us to realize how wonderful our lives really are. When we are always reaching for something else and comparing our lives, homes, and jobs to what others have, we miss the gifts we already have in our lives. How does gratitude bring you more of what you want? Midge reveals how gratitude is key in being able to brush off our inner magnets and allow all the abundance to flow to us! - http://midgenoblesecondchances.com/
Clinical Psychologist and Author Dr. E. D. Brown is our special guest speaker on this LIVE show with his unique topic "Highway To the 4th Dimension." What about the idea that if you keep on the "miss point" (remain disconnected, stay satisfied with less than truth), the 4th dimension and beyond is not yours to reach. In other words, happiness and contentment, qualities of the true self, actually originate and flow down from higher dimensions. If you keep on the "miss point" (remain disconnected, stay satisfied with less than truth), the 4th dimension and beyond is not yours to reach. In other words, true happiness and contentment, qualities of the true self, actually originate and flow down from higher dimensions. In order to make contact with true contentment and happiness (the bliss point) , your inner self has to be at the right place at the right time. What we call "happiness and peace of mind" flows throughout the creation. In your daily life, you can be aligned with your bliss point as long as you remain aware, humble, and truthful.
Clinical Psychologist Dr. E. Douglas Brown will be our guest speaker on this rebroadcast show. He says, "The art of speaking and listening demands more than a tongue, lips and ears. Before a toddler can utter a word, a toddler can recognize the sound of a word and associates it with pleasant or unpleasant experiences. Parents should teach their children that communicating and listening is easy, fun, and exciting." Many children don’t communicate what they are truly feeling unless they feel comfortable in doing so. If the environment is not supporting their spirit, if folks are berating them, abusing them, ignoring them, or just not being loving enough, they are not going to feel like opening up. That makes them more vulnerable to more negative energies.
Author and Professor Dr. Maurie Pressman will be our special guest speaker today, on a rebroadcast show, to talk about Spiritual Psychology. Re: what this concept is, he says, "There is a power within your mind that is hidden from you as well as others. When you find it you will have the ability to do minor miracles such as to heal yourself and others, to know yourself and your ability to influence others silently, to move your performance up and up, and to love, love yourself, others and all creatures better - much better. It is the power that leads to success in your own field in your own way."
Spiritual Psychotherapy. This combines the best of traditional western practices with the high and powerful regions of the mind.
Dr. Pressman's continued explorations within traditional psychiatry, holistic-spiritual psychotherapy and eastern philosophies has proven to be a wonderfully successful alternative to the sometimes limiting constraints of traditional western psychiatry.

God has given you a mission, a talent that belongs to you, exclusively. God has certain Blessings He has created for mankind and He wants to deliver them through His special creation - YOU..
Author Barbara Hofmeister will join us in a rebroadcast show from Germany as she discusses Self-Esteem from her perspective. She will also speak from her book "To Be Or Not To Be - The Choice is Yours." She says that it is her passion and purpose to help people build their self-esteem to the extent that they dare to make their dreams come true. - High Self-Esteem speaks to the level of integrity you have; real inner confrontations won; reconciling your inner self with your outer self which is the basis of this book. It is also about assessing our real courage and how honesty is attained and internalized. High self-esteem is much more than just feeling good about your self. It is reflected in your personality, your productivity at work and at home with your family, your character, your general way with people, and the spirit that you carry with you always.
I, Nazim Rashid, Life Coach, Personal Development Specialist, Author and Radio Talk Show Host is covering the show today on Self Esteem based on my book Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self. Having a high self-esteem is essential to anyone’s growth and development. Having low self-esteem opens the doors to untold dark possibilities as those possibilities match how you feel. Self-esteem pertains to how you experience yourself, how you think and feel about yourself, not how other people think or feel about you. Genuine self-esteem is you trusting you, you believing in you, you having confidence in your own mind and in your own ability to judge; You experiencing yourself as deserving of happiness, you perceiving yourself as a decent, worthwhile lovable person. Often when you hear people talk about self-esteem, you hear simply that it means “how you feel.” This by itself is so misleading, for you can feel good by taking drugs or by having the adrenaline rush of robbing a bank. You can also feel good by listening to some surreptitious gossip, being involved in a drive-by shooting, or just watching a thrilling horror movie. You can tell where your self-esteem level is by your self-talk. Listen to this program and raise your self-value and change your self-talk. Get Reconnected by going to www.cloudsofabundance.com
Motivational Messenger and Life Coach LaShawn McCrary will be our guest speaker on this re-broadcast show. She says, "A person’s self image is established in one of two ways: intentionally by the individual or reluctantly by others. Deep within all of us there's a source of power that's beyond imagination. This power - our spirits, give us the ability to design and manifest our destinies. We are what we permit. Greatness is released with our permission – unfortunately, so is mediocrity. The choice is up to us. Her website is http://www.lashawnmccrary.com

Inspirational Speaker Robert Brzezinski will be our guest today, on this re-broadcast show with his topic on Faith. He says, "Faith is so much more than the belief in things unseen.

Faith is always believing in a Power Greater than ourselves and that each of us has the ability to use that Power in the Creation of the life we truly desire."

Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will be speaking with his topic of Bliss Point vs Ego, on this re-broadcast show. A term invented in the fast food industry, the 'bliss point' refers to that point when a person experiences the maximum amount of sensory satisfaction and pleasure from tasting and eating a specific food product. Food and beverage companies spend millions of dollars in research to identify the right mixture of ingredients to place in their food and beverage products to take you to the “bliss point”- when you taste and savor their products and feel that you must consume more in order to re-experience that maximum degree of digestive satisfaction and pleasure. (Doritos chips anyone?) The more enduring 'bliss point' or bliss state” is attained when you stop pretending that your ego is who you are and start to be who and what you are – a human being with a unique personality who is connected to the Ultimate Superior Spirit behind all creation. Some people call this state self- actualization or self-realization.
Clinical Psychologist Dr. E. Douglass Brown is the guest speaker, or this re-broadcast show, to talk about the Bliss Point. This is his 3rd installment of this special topic. He says, “Each person is a traveler who journeys first from a condition of knowing nothing, then to a condition of infantile self-obsession, then to a condition of being possessed by anyone or anything that the person thinks can induce pleasure and relieve discomfort. Some of us eventually make it to a state of freedom from bondage to fleeting urges, affiliations, and ego-attachments. That state of freedom is commonly referred to as Higher Consciousness - aka - the ‘Bliss Point.’ It is 'what I want' as I near the end of my journey – not what someone else wants for me, it is 'what I hope to become' as I near the end of my journey, not what someone else wants me to become.”
Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will be our special guest speaker today, on this re-broadcast show, talking about bringing out the Bliss Point in our Children part 2. The makings of the spiritual bliss point are deeply embedded in each infant. Whether the makings of the spiritual bliss point become an actualized experience depends on the person, once an infant, learning the difference between his or her true self and “somebody” that he or she has come to believe is “me.” Wise parents encourage a child to ask the right questions and to seek and accept the right answers. Unwise parents encourage a child to only ask questions when given permission from others and to accept answers endorsed by them and others. Wise parenting models and guides towards the bliss point. Unwise parenting models and guides towards the "miss" point.
Clinical Psychologist and Author Dr. E. Douglass Brown is our special guest speaker with his topic - Addictions and Relationships. This is his discussion summary statement: A person’s movement, so to speak towards any goal occurs in the framework of relationships. You cannot give your fullest to two competing relationships. The most important relationship is the one you have with the Creator. A person’s addiction, craving for, or preoccupation with anyone or anything is a recipe for disaster, be it sudden or delayed. Your True Self cannot serve two masters. It takes two in order to form a relationship. A human addiction is comprised of two elements - an ego and what the ego craves or insists on trying to get or achieve.

She asks the following questions - Have you ever tried to change a behavior or habit, only to find yourself disappointed and dissatisfied when you weren’t successful? Most of the time changing a habit (self-transformation) is not a quick fix. It requires reprogramming of the mind, which takes place at the subconscious part of the mind. Therefore, it is important to understand the function and process of the mind, especially the subconscious mind. She will talk about the Human mind which has three parts: conscious mind, subconscious mind and Super Conscious mind. www.pathtoanandam.org

Clinical Psychologist Dr. Buffy Wooten will be our special guest today on a live show. Here are the talking points she will use:
-
There is a relationship IQ - true limitations on some persons ability to participate in relationships intelligently and skillfully.
-
There are interventions to teach positive relationship skills, but they require willingness and self and other-awareness to start.
-
When limitations exist, for example when a person is unable to articulate emotionally, or unable to generate insight from past experiences, or stricken with a disability like depression or anxiety, the appropriate response may be reasonable accommodation
-
Professional interventions can assist in determining whether intervention or accommodation is at hand.
-
In relationships there are "hopeless" situations - We need to recognize when to accept reality as it is now and when our hope is anchored in an unrealistic expectation. -

She left off talking about Subconscious Programming and how this affects victims long after the abuser has left their lives. Subconscious programming is responsible for the abused life being full of fear, suspicion, doubt, low self-esteem, self-worth and worry. The voices of the past can do more damage ater the actual period of abuse than the period of abuse. She will talk about the damaging effects of subconscious programming and the constructive effects of conscious programming.

"The most empowering thing I could ever say to a person who would like their life to change for the better is that it MUST be done from the inside out. There is no other way. I know this from my own personal experience, and from witnessing my clients and my students do it for themselves. When a person who has been a victim comes to really understand this one thing, get ready to be amazed by the things they will accomplish!!" - her site is www.chooseyouruniverse.com
Instructor/Imam Benjamin Bilal is our guest speaker on this live show with his topic "Respect For Our Inherent Human Worth." This is his show discussion statement: No baby is born consciously knowing what his or her "race" or "religion" is. We are all born into this world, however, with natural instincts, urges and tendencies that are designed to save us from danger and attach us to family members and to a human community of safety and security. Inaccurate ideas of race and religion have severed natural family ties, created false ethnic and racial superiority theories, and have allowed many in history to very arrogantly step into the position that only a true "Creator" should occupy. In order to have peace and progress on earth, we must first return to a respect for our inherent human worth as our Creator created it. - We explore the solutions to peaceful co-existence on earth with our fellow humans whether we be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Agnostic, Atheist or other. The first question should be: 'Am I a true human?'"
We will read and expound from the chapter "Twelve Principles of Recovery" taken from my book Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self. The Twelve Steps of Addiction associated with the Alcoholics Anonymous organization have some good points that need to be recognized when we fall into faulty behavior. Even though the Twelve Steps and my Twelve Principles were written with alcoholism and drug addiction in mind, the program can be used for other character defects such as - Anger, Abuse, Compulsive disorders, Overeating, Gambling, Sexual, and Controlling issues. -- When accepting a new life for yourself and realizing that you have to first forgive yourself and others, just saying the words alone may not be good enough to internalize real change. This is why following a program methodically with a solid commitment, and demonstrating the new you by being the example of what you are now believing, you can have more reassurance of a new path for yourself. This is the first installment so we will start with the 1st Principle "We allowed our lower selves to control us regarding our addiction, and admitted that our lives thus had become unmanageable."
We will have as our special quest, Dr. E. Douglas Brown, author and licensed Clinical Psychologist on this re-broadcast show. He will talk about validation as it applies to parent and child relationships and how it changes upon maturation; Why it is necessary to give it and to receive it. He will also talk about the higher level of validation which is self validation. It is important to: •Feel like you are important •Know that your feelings are real, very personal to you, and should be acknowledged as such •Feel okay sharing those feelings and personal outlooks/perspectives •Feel like someone is not going to ridicule you or in some other way disrespect you behind your expressed feelings •Feel at ease discussing what is deep inside - When children don’t have validation, the emotional scarring starts taking place and problems begin. Lack of validation is responsible for most problems youth and adults are having today.

Emotional scarring starts with the lack of validation in childhood.

Experience the freedom of self-forgiveness once and for all, and with that freedom, live a life unshackled to negativity, the past or limitations. She will discuss ways to forgive yourselves and others, unplug from your old non-productive stories, and step into the frequencies of your Higher Self.

He will talk about the reasons toxic relationships have such a great fanbase as well as healthy relationships. What draws people to drama, emotional abuse and sometimes physical abuse, infidelity, and reminders of their toxic past? What draws people to health and vitality, compassion, empathic connections, peace, contentment-inward and outward, compatibility and true partnership? Why is there such a disconnect between the one mindset and the other? What are some solutions to these distant realities?
Imam Benjamin Bilal will the guest speaker on this re-broadcast show addressing the timely topic of Spirituality part 2, continuing his discussion from his last visit. Regarding Spirituality he says the following:
"Spirituality" is not to be seen as separate from the material and social life of man. The material life is actually the densest form of spiritual existence, which is the "true" existence. Real life is pertaining to the life of the soul, or what I have dubbed the 'breathing conscience'. It gives birth to proper emotional, mental and psychic life - all of which are invisible and represent aspects of the spiritual life. In reality, they are all ONE! "Spirit" only means "influence" and if you can get control of the invisible things that influence your visible life on a daily basis, you can maintain control over all of the various manifestations of that life, which will allow you access to peace, freedom, and wellness. He will also compare ideals in various religions and talk about the 7 Chakras as it relates to gratitude and spirituality.

How healthy or dysfunctional is your relationship with yourself? The Outer is a reflection of the Inner. Simply look around at the external reflections that mirror back what resides in your conscious and subconscious mind. Are you experiencing conflict? Are you harboring resentment and withholding forgiveness?
Here is her website: www.SpiritualInsightsRadio.weebly.com.
Today we have Mystic, Visionary, Author and Minister Robert Brzezinski on this re-broadcast show talking about Visualizing to Visioning.

Author, hypnotherapist, Certified Life Coach, Master Energy Healer, Jennifer Masters is our guest speaker on a live show, with the topic; Relationships- Molecules of Emotion. She says that every thought that we have impacts our body. Whether positive or negative. Thinking I AM SICK can make us sick. Thinking I AM VIBRANTLY HEALTHY can convey and add to the body wellness. Our minds create our illness, coupled with emotion we can make ourselves ill. This same theory can be used on relationships. When we complain about our lover, husband, wife.... we begin to feel more negative, we create conflict inside the relationship.
When we think loving thoughts about our mate - we increase the love between our partners and our selves. Every illness has an emotional component (and thought) attached to it. www.jenniferelizabethemasters.com

Child, Marriage and Family Therapist Jef Gazley is our guest speaker talking about Relationships and how past conditioning and emotions control present Relationships. He says that most couples and many therapists believe that the top issues that break couples up are communication, finances, parenting, and sex. However, almost all the real fights are about Do you love me? Do you respect me? Are we equals? And Are you shaming me? All marital issues are really about these issues and these questions really come not from the present, but the past. Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) traces the present problems back to their original source which most of the time resides in their childhood and family of origin.
More than 50% of marriages end up in divorce these days. Why is that? Communication and Listening Skills play a major role. Our special guest, Master Therapist Jef Gazley will be joining us, on a re-broadcast show, to start this important discussion. Jef Gazley, LMFT will speak about the principles of communication, assertiveness, and healthy boundaries.

Dr. Sheran Mattson will be our special guest speaker, on this re-broadcast show, talking about how EFT- (Energy Freedom Technique) can be used to unblock emotional areas which are preventing our future growth. EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture, except needles aren’t used. Instead, a simple two pronged process is used wherein the practitioner (1) mentally "tunes in" to specific issues while (2) stimulating certain meridian points on the body by tapping on them with their fingertips. Individuals identify negative emotions all the way from childhood. Each negative emotion, from past experiences, is the result of an energy disruption in the body. These negative occurrences are stored in the brain and until they are released, they continue to cause challenges. By simply identifying the negative experience and tapping through it, the energy is released and no longer affects one in the present.

These questions that will be answered on the show: What is the most important relationship in life? What relationship shapes the character of all of a person's other relationships?

Clinical Psychologist Dr. E. Douglass Brown is the guest speaker to talk about the Bliss Point. This is his 3rd installment of this special topic. He says, “Each person is a traveler who journeys first from a condition of knowing nothing, then to a condition of infantile self-obsession, then to a condition of being possessed by anyone or anything that the person thinks can induce pleasure and relieve discomfort. Some of us eventually make it to a state of freedom from bondage to fleeting urges, affiliations, and ego-attachments. That state of freedom is commonly referred to as Higher Consciousness - aka - the ‘Bliss Point.’ It is 'what I want' as I near the end of my journey – not what someone else wants for me, it is 'what I hope to become' as I near the end of my journey, not what someone else wants me to become.”

Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will be our special guest speaker today, on this re-broadcast show, talking about bringing out the Bliss Point in our Children part 2. The makings of the spiritual bliss point are deeply embedded in each infant. Whether the makings of the spiritual bliss point become an actualized experience depends on the person, once an infant, learning the difference between his or her true self and “somebody” that he or she has come to believe is “me.” Wise parents encourage a child to ask the right questions and to seek and accept the right answers. Unwise parents encourage a child to only ask questions when given permission from others and to accept answers endorsed by them and others. Wise parenting models and guides towards the bliss point. Unwise parenting models and guides towards the "miss" point.

Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will start a new theme with his topic of Bliss Point vs Ego, on this re-broadcast show. A term invented in the fast food industry, the “bliss point” refers to that point when a person experiences the maximum amount of sensory satisfaction and pleasure from tasting and eating a specific food product. Food and beverage companies spend millions of dollars in research to identify the right mixture of ingredients to place in their food and beverage products to take you to the “bliss point”- when you taste and savor their products and feel that you must consume more in order to re-experience that maximum degree of digestive satisfaction and pleasure. (Doritos chips anyone?) The more enduring “bliss point” or bliss state” is attained when you stop pretending that your ego is who you are and start to be who and what you are – a human being with a unique personality who is connected to the Ultimate Superior Spirit behind all creation. Some people call this state self- actualization or self-realization.
Today we have author and international healer, Jennifer Elizabeth Masters as our guest speaker on this re-broadcast show addressing the topic of Co-Dependency and Addictions. She says, "Everyone at some point has issues with codependency and addiction. Underneath it all are feelings of not being good enough. Focusing on ourselves with a soft focus instead of beating ourselves up changes our perspective. We are very hard on ourselves. Being compassionate, loving and tender with ourselves is what The Divine wants from us. It does no one any good to be self deprecating. Self love is the key to healing all emotional suffering and pain.
Child, Family Therapist and author Midge Noble is our special guest speaker today. Midge will talk about how important it is for us to realize how wonderful our lives really are.

Clinical Psychologist and Author Dr. E. Douglass Brown is back with us on this live show talking about Emotions and The Self. He says that emotions are as essential to a person's inner growth as eating vegetables are to staying physically healthy. Emotions tell us how we feel about ourselves, others around us, and our environment. When it comes to self-development and reaching the psychospiritual "bliss point," a person has to come to like and prefer his or her true self over the ego. That which is in harmony with the true self must be more emotionally appealing and satisfying to a person than ego-centered pleasures.

However what's little understood is that our emotions are hardwired in us and therefore serve a specific and higher purpose.

I, Nazim Rashid, will take this topic of Forgiveness, based on my book Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self on this re-broadcast show. Forgiveness has to be incorporated before any of emotional repairing operation, which we will be undertaking, takes place. We will be examining various emotional episodes which will, quite naturally, bring up those old feelings again. When you accept to forgive those who have caused you pain on one level or another, you are then separating the emotions that are connecting you and them. Not forgiving keeps you attached to them. Whatever they do affects you in some way or another. We will talk about keeping yourself protected from those old memories which haunt you and impact your emotional stability.
Clinical Psychologist and Author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will be our guest speaker today with a very timely topic Children's Stories - a Help or a Hindrance.

Beliefs and myths will be examined.
Author, Medical Director and Founder of the Pressman Center for Mind/Body Wellness, Clinical Professor Emeritus at Temple Medical School in Psychiatry and Chairman Emeritus of the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, Dr. Maurie Pressman will join us today as our guest speaker on this re-broadcast show. His statement on Co-Dependency is this:
"Co-dependency or addiction are outgrowths of the way we work as personalities, and the "cure" arises from knowing the self and calling upon the magnificent power of the soul-within. That is why it is so good and so important to know one’s self. The next thing is that there are transactions between people under all circumstances, and a dynamic equilibrium is established and maintained, unless some crisis comes along. In the case of co-dependency we mean that there is a transaction between partners in which one personality is adjusted to the other – and maintains the pattern of the other for good or bad. In the case of addiction it is for the not-so-good as far as society is concerned, for it leads to a debilitation on the part of the addict both by the addicting drug and the withering of personal strength by being overly supported by the sponsor."
Gifted teacher, author, lecturer and psychic Jennifer Masters will be our special guest speaker today talking about Relationships, which is one of the Reconnected messages that hasn't been addressed yet.

John Carter is guest speaker today on this re-broadcast show. He has been a substance abuse counselor for the past thirty four years in Phoenix, Arizona. His statement on Co-Dependency is this: “It is an over dependence on another for the purpose of fulfilling a need or emotion within ourselves. What does it look like? Co-Dependent people have countless ways of trying to manage or control others and their problems. They do this by a set of negative behaviors they've created to help them get and then stay in control. There are about seven known behaviors. We will talk about them on the show.”

Child & Family Therapist Midge Noble is our returning guest speaker today as she addresses a unique topic of Me before We - Learning to Love Ourselves. She will focus on I AM statements and the power behind self-validating yourself and then fostering that self-love in our kids. Self-love is not selfish and is done from a pure understanding that the love we have for ourselves allows us to extend that perfect divine connection to others. Once we do that... we can be a positive and powerful influence on our kids and those we come in contact with each day
Imam Benjamin Bilal will the guest speaker on this re-broadcast show addressing the timely topic of Spirituality.. Regarding Spirituality he says the following: "Spirituality" is not to be seen as separate from the material and social life of man. The material life is actually the densest form of spiritual existence, which is the "true" existence. Real life is pertaining to the life of the soul, or what I have dubbed the 'breathing conscience'. It gives birth to proper emotional, mental and psychic life - all of which are invisible and represent aspects of the spiritual life. In reality, they are all ONE! "Spirit" only means "influence" and if you can get control of the invisible things that influence your invisible life on a daily basis, you can maintain control over all of the various manifestations of that life, which will allow you access to peace, freedom, and wellness.

Spiritual Evolutionist Robert Brzezinski will be our guest today o this re-broadcast show from 7/2/11 - He says, "Spirituality is an action verb. It is the only aspect of my life I am religious about. Spirituality is a way of living, that each of us chooses, in order to express our beliefs and values in a way that empowers our lives and hopefully inspires others to follow their own inner guidance and wisdom. Spirituality is the life that best serves our inner calling to greatness. Spirituality is the expression of Divine Oneness. Spiritual Living is the absence of any separation between me and my GOD."

I am talking about FAITH on this rebroadcast show. “Faith is the evidence of things unseen. It is a way of knowing. It is knowing. Without faith one cannot know on the particular plane of reality that faith gives us access to. If you don’t have faith, you are not able to see the evidence of things unseen. Faith is a divine gift to us that give us access to realities that otherwise we could not know.” -Dr. Naim Akbar I am discussing the chapter of Faith in my book Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self
Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will be our special guest speaker today talking about bringing out the Bliss Point in our Children. The makings of the spiritual bliss point are deeply embedded in each infant. Whether the makings of the spiritual bliss point become an actualized experience depends on the person, once an infant, learning the difference between his or her true self and “somebody” that he or she has come to believe is “me.” Wise parents encourage a child to ask the right questions and to seek and accept the right answers. Unwise parents encourage a child to only ask questions when given permission from others and to accept answers endorsed by them and others. Wise parenting models and guides towards the bliss point. Unwise parenting models and guides towards the "miss" point.
We will read more segments of my Spirituality chapter today on this re-broadcast show from 7/16/11. Here is a quote from that chapter: "How do we know what the frequency is of the thing that we want, so we can tune into it? The only element that we have control over and that we own, are our feelings. It is our feelings that align us with the objective that we seek. Spirituality is a connectedness to Source, our source, our beginning, our Creator, also is a willingness to be influenced by the attributes of God. Being 'in tune' is the same thing as saying that you are 'connected.' What brings you back to Source, brings you back to the real goal that you have, brings you back home where it is warm and comfortable? It is your feelings. You have to be in touch with your feelings. You have to know what feelings you are feeling and what feelings you want to feel."

I, Nazim Rashid, am going to discuss the two realities: Objective Reality and Subjective Reality in this re-broadcast show from 12/29/12. In order for us to create the life of our desire, we have to hold firmly to the image of this desired life. If we depend solely on what our 5 senses physically present to us, then we are losing sight of what is possible. This is where examining the two realities, Objective Reality and Subjective Reality is necessary. Objective Reality speaks to what your concrete reality, your 5 senses tell you what is real or not. Subjective Reality speaks to the reality that you envision for yourself, the reality that you create and call your very own. It is this reality that you can give energy to, have a relationship with, and manifest into your concrete reality.
Child and Family Therapist Midge Noble is our special guest on this live show addressing the topic Ego vs Mego.

Child and Family Therapist Jef Gazley will be our speaker on this re-broadcast show from 1/29/11. His topic is Communication and Listening Skills. More than 50% of marriages end up in divorce these days. Why is that? Communication and Listening Skills play a major role. Jef will speak about the principles of communication, assertiveness, and healthy boundaries. He will also discuss how shame and abandonment issues can derail healthy communication because adults react to these conditions by reverting to more childlike feelings and behavior.
Satya Kalra, a founder of Path to Anandam, is popularly known for her Anandam life style (Blissful Living). She is also an author, speaker and advocate for the cause of destitute women and children. She is our guest speaker today with the topic - The Secret of Self-Transformation - How to Change Your Behavior One Step at a Time. She asks the following questions - -Have you ever tried to change a behavior or habit, only to find yourself disappointed and dissatisfied when you weren’t successful? Most of the time changing a habit (self-transformation) is not a quick fix. It requires reprogramming of the mind, which takes place at the subconscious part of the mind. Therefore, it is important to understand the function and process of the mind, especially the subconscious mind. She will talk about the Human mind which has three parts: conscious mind, subconscious mind and Super Conscious mind.
Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will be our guest speaker on this live show continuing his discussion on The Bliss Point from our last conversation. He says, "The more enduring “bliss point” or bliss state” is attained when you stop pretending that your ego is who you are and start to be who and what you are – a human being with a unique personality who is connected to the Ultimate Superior Spirit behind all creation. The ordinary everyday state of awareness and the fears and fun that accompany it are actually a person’s ‘miss point.’ When a person dwells in the ‘miss point,’ he or she loses out on something far greater and real – reconnection to the Spiritual Source of all things and true self-awareness.
Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglas Brown will be our guest speaker on this re-broadcast show from 2/12/11, speaking on Communiction & Listening Skills. He says, "The art of speaking and listening demands more than a tongue, lips and ears. Before a toddler can utter a word, a toddler can recognize the sound of a word and associates it with pleasant or unpleasant experiences.

Master Child & Family Therapist Jef Gazley is our guest speaker on this re-broadcast show from 9/3/11. He will continue his discussion from his last visit. Looking at unhealthy attachments we have the birth of co-dependency and in this unhealthy bonding we have responses that are manifested later in life. Two of those responses are repetition compulsion and trauma bonding. His statement on these two discussion topics is this - "If one has grown up in a traumatic or dysfunctional family, that person often accepts the blame and shame and is then delayed in their individuation due to developing what is called a repetition compulsion. A repetition compulsion is repeating a self-destructive pattern or behavior without adjusting that behavior and with no chance of ultimate success. These wounded children when they become adults become trauma bonded to the type of person who originally abused or let them down." and the the cycle continues.
Child and Family Therapist MIdge Noble will be our special guest speaker today continuing her series on Passive Bullying. She will explore this phenomenon as it affects the workplace, relationships and in our own personal growth because Passive Bullying also occurs within.
Family Therapist Jef Gazley willl be our guest speaker on this re-broadcast show from 8/20/11. today. His statement on Co-Dependency is this: The definition of co-dependence is the tendency to desperately attempt to take care of other people to such an extent that the needs of the caretaker are ignored. Codependency was first identified by working with alcoholic families in the early 1980’s while noticing how the mates of chemically dependent people parented their partners. Codependency was first thought to occur only as a reaction to someone in the family being addicted. It is now known that co-dependence also results from growing up in a dysfunctional family of any type. These families often emotionally abandon their children and shame them. These children react by trying to become perfect, control everything, and “fix” their parents and later their spouse and children in the hope that they will be loved and gain approval.
Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will start a new theme with his topic of Bliss Point vs Ego. A term invented in the fast food industry, the “bliss point” refers to that point when a person experiences the maximum amount of sensory satisfaction and pleasure from tasting and eating a specific food product. Food and beverage companies spend millions of dollars in research to identify the right mixture of ingredients to place in their food and beverage products to take you to the “bliss point”- when you taste and savor their products and feel that you must consume more in order to re-experience that maximum degree of digestive satisfaction and pleasure. The more enduring “bliss point” or bliss state” is attained when you stop pretending that your ego is who you are and start to be who and what you are – a human being with a unique personality who is connected to the Ultimate Superior Spirit behind all creation. Some people call this state self- actualization or self-realization.
Substance Abuse Counselor DJ Diebold will be our guest speaker on this re-broadcast show from 10/15/11.

John Carter is our special guest today o this re-broadcast show from 8/6/11. He has been a substance abuse counselor for the past thirty four years in Phoenix Arizona. His statement on Co-Dependency is this: “It is an over dependence on another for the purpose of fulfilling a need or emotion within ourselves. What does it look like? Co-Dependent people have countless ways of trying to manage or control others and their problems. They do this by a set of negative behaviors they've created to help them get and then stay in control. There are about seven known behaviors. We will talk about them on the show.”
Dr. Sheran Mattson will be our special guest speaker talking about how EFT-(Energy Freedom Technique) can be used to unblock emotional areas which are preventing our future growth. EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture, except needles aren’t used. Instead, a simple two pronged process is used wherein the practitioner (1) mentally "tunes in" to specific issues while (2) stimulating certain meridian points on the body by tapping on them with their fingertips. Individuals identify negative emotions all the way from childhood. Each negative emotion, from past experiences, is the result of an energy disruption in the body. These negative occurrences are stored in the brain and until they are released, they continue to cause challenges. By simply identifying the negative experience and tapping through it, the energy is released and no longer affects one in the present.
Imam Benjamin Bilal will our special guest in this re-broadcast show from 9/24/2011. He will be speaking on the nature of addiction and its negative effects on the human being's growth towards physical, mental, moral, and spiritual excellence.

Author and Professor Dr. Maurie Pressman will be our special guest speaker today to talk about Spiritual Psychology. Re: what
this concept is, he says, "There is a power within your mind that is hidden from you as well as others. When you find it you will have the ability to do minor miracles such as to heal yourself and others, to know yourself and your ability to influence others silently, to move your performance up and up, and to love, love yourself, others and all creatures better - much better. It is the power that leads to success in your own field in your own way."
Spiritual Psychotherapy. This combines the best of traditional western practices with the high and powerful regions of the mind.
Dr. Pressman's continued explorations within traditional psychiatry, holistic-spiritual psychotherapy and eastern philosophies has proven to be a wonderfully successful alternative to the sometimes limiting constraints of traditional western psychiatry.
I will be reading and discussing my Gratitude chapter in my book Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self. A high self-esteem, high self-image and an attitude of gratitude go hand in hand. The more you value yourself and see yourself achieving, the more you want to give thanks. When a person devalues themselves, sees themselves as a “victim,” and doesn’t feel responsive to life, then they will not have the feeling of being grateful. This is a re-broadcast show from 4/30/11.

Douglass Brown will continue his series on the parenting style of Indoctrination and Insulation entitled "Indoctrination- a Chosen Parenting Style" - He will talk about using this technique of Indoctrination for positive seed planting instead of detrimental programming as we know indoctrination to be. Positive indoctrination includes teaching your children to have courage and honesty; to love truth and to love learning; to learn and appreciate empathy; to be empathic with others; to stand up for their rights; Positive indoctrination provides the insulation necessary for the negative elements the child will be encountering.
Blogtalk radio host and Executive Coach Vince Toran will be our guest today. Vince says, “Gratitude is the attitude that allows us to appreciate today’s blessings and opens the door to more.

Author of To Be or Not To Be, Barbara Hofmeister, with join us in this re-broadcast from 4/2/2011. She says, "An attitude of gratitude is our shortest path to happiness." This topic is so important to understanding why life continues to bring us joy and happiness, and also disappointments and sadness; why nothing happens right for us (it seems) and why we experience layer upon layer of bliss and tranquility; why more and more layers of doom have our name on it and why our tomorrows are predictably harmonious and happy.

Author Nazim Rashid and co-host and wife Dorothy Rashid will read from the FAITH chapter of his book -Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self. “Faith is the evidence of things unseen. It is a way of knowing. It is knowing. Without faith one cannot know on the particular plane of reality that faith gives us access to. If you don’t have faith, you are not able to see the evidence of things unseen. Faith is a divine gift to us that give us access to realities that otherwise we could not know.” - Dr. Naim Akbar.-
Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown wil join us today for his continuing series on Indoctrination, Insulation and Isolation parenting styles. Indoctrination is when a set of beliefs are introduced and aggressively taught in order for the beliefs to be planted in the subconscious. Teaching a person to accept ideas and beliefs without thinking about them uncritically; one sided ideas; one sided beliefs; asking the person to accept these ideas without thinking about them and asking important questions about what they are being taught - This is indoctrination. He will continue this discussion on using this technique of Indoctrination for positive seed planting instead of detrimental programming as we know indoctrination to be.
We will continue our discussion on Validation part 2 with special guest therapist Jef Gazley. This is re-broadcast show from 8/28/2010. He is going to use his technique of Energy Psychology and Energy Freedom Techniques with our call-in participants. These techniques have proven very useful in addressing validation concerns and areas where you feel emotionally stuck. It is important to: •Feel like you are important •Know that your feelings are real, very personal to you, and should be acknowledged as such •Feel okay sharing those feelings and personal outlooks/perspectives •Feel like someone is not going to ridicule you or in some other way disrespect you behind your expressed feelings •Feel at ease discussing what is deep inside When children don’t have validation, the emotional scarring starts taking place and problems begin. Lack of validation is responsible for most problems youth are having today.
Child and Family Therapist Midge Noble will join as again as she continues her series on Child Development.

She will also talk about what parents can do to bring them back to compassion and empathy.
Jef Gazley, Family & Marriage Therapist, will be our special guest speaker as he will talk about techniques we can use to help us with our own validation challenges. He will discuss one method he employs called Emotional Freedom Technique and Energy Psychology. When children don’t have validation, the emotional scarring starts taking place and problems begin. Lack of validation is responsible for most problems youth are having today. They have a spirit inside that is needing attention so badly that their spirit compels them to act out hoping someone out here will hear the real need inside. It is the parents’ responsibility to provide constant validation. Parents need to know and recognize the spirit inside the child; talk to it; tell the spirit that you love it. Their spirit or soul is very important to the child and should be important to the caring parent. Their spirit belongs to them, is special to them, is unique to them and should be respected by anyone who is in their personal environment. Their soul should be honored and respected by both the child and the parent. The parent should support and encourage the child to honor their spirit within.
I, Nazim Rashid, am going to discuss the two realities of Objective Reality and Subjective Reality. In order for us to create the life of our desire, we have to hold firmly to the image of this desired life. If we depend solely on what our 5 senses physically present to us, then we are losing sight of what is possible. This is where examining the two realities, Objective Reality and Subjective Reality is necessary. Objective Reality speaks to what your concrete reality, your 5 senses tell you what is real or not. Subjective Reality speaks to the reality that you envision for yourself, the reality that you create and call your very own. It is this reality that you can give energy to, have a relationship with, and manifest into your concrete reality.
Clinical Psychologist and author, Dr. E. Douglass Brown will be our special guest on this re-broadcast show from 11/27/10.

Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. E. Douglass Brown will join us again with his series on the parenting styles of Insulation, Isolation and now Indoctrination. He was saying that the child naturally feels like they are safe and that they can express themselves without feeling like they are wrong. This happens with an Insulation parenting style. Pampering comes in the form of giving more to the child when they haven’t earned more. Pampering is a form of Isolation. Indoctrination is the new parenting style that will added to the previous two. It is when a set of beliefs are introduced and aggressively taught in order for the beliefs to be planted in the subconscious. Dr. Brown will look at the school age of 5 and see what effects these parenting styles have on their developing minds.
Author Zen Benefiel will be our guest today, on this re-broadcast show from 9/8/2010, as we are starting our series on self-esteem. Zen is the author of Transformation: A Guide For Change. He says, "Self-esteem is ignited through personal transformation, learning how to rise above the challenges we face in life through compassion, style and grace." Having a high self-esteem is essential to anyone’s growth and development and thus critical in making sure our children internalize this characteristic and important need.
Today we will have author, Child and Family Therapist, Midge Noble back with us to continue her series on Child Development in adolescence.

We will read from "Reconnected" as we talk about self-appreciation, which is at the end of the Self-Esteem chapter. It is important to mention self-appreciation as it coincides with your self-esteem. There is a higher self in all of us that is always working on our behalf whether we are conscious of it or not. This is the self that God breathed into us as we were developing in the womb. This is the part of us that is divine and the same self that will go on after we leave this life. This is the self that never dies. It is this Self that needs more and more appreciation.

Transpersonal Life Coach Barbara Reynolds will be our special guest today, on this re-broadcast show from 1/8/2011, as we discuss Self-Image part 2. She says that many people are basing their self images on what they have heard from others, they have never really looked inside their own hearts to see how they see themselves. When you connect with your own heart you see that you are like a budding flower waiting to bloom. Seeing this truth frees you from other's opinions and allows you to be you.
Clinical Psychologist, author and returning guest Dr. E. Douglass Brown is back with us to continue his series on these two parenting styles - Insulation and Isolation. He says, “Some parents try not to expose a child to ANY situations that interfere with their fantasy-like views and their fantasies about what a family should be like. In the case of insulation, the parents shield the person from the harm of too much exposure to family and outside conflicts. This is a effective style of parenting - In this part 3 he will continue his examination of how the child's life unfolds in their developmental stages starting at age 2.
Today We will read from the Self-Image chapter of my book "Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self." - This is a re-broadcast show from 12/4/2010. How we see ourselves is what we become.

Anger is a major part of their dispositions too and this becomes another problematic element in their lives. She will start at the age of 16. At the age of 16, a new level of independence starts to take place, so new interactions are necessary from the parents. Their brains are not yet developed to the point that they think they are, so more guidance from the parents is necessary.

She says, "Optimism is the choice to see the presence of God in all as all, no matter what. Optimism is acceptance of what is AND the desire to heal, uplift and transform all that is calling for more grace, joy, justice, clarity and truth. I feel we can be real and optimistic and make a big contribution to the world." This mind-set has to exist before any objectives or goals can be realized.” The Law of Attraction says that whatever you think about, you bring about. The way we think is a choice that we make. You can think good thoughts (thus attract that which you desire which matches your higher self OR think bad thoughts (thus attract that which is counterproductive).
Dr. E. Douglass Brown will join us today to start a new series on the effects on children and adults when they have been sheltered from all conflict in the home. He calls this "Isolation."

In their 'lovy-duvy' world, a parent is heard, heeded, and hugged 24-7.” This does not reflect the real world and Dr. Brown will talk about the emotional consequences that follow this kind of childhood experiences.
Robert Brzezinski will be our guest today in this re-broadcast from 5/7/11. He says, "Faith is so much more than the belief in things unseen.

Child and Family Therapists MIdge Nobe will join us again to continue her discussion series on Child Development. She says that as children are approaching 10, they are building their world around their peers acceptance and approval. This is why some at this age join gangs.

It is a really important need to be a good visualizer; a good painter; a good dreamer; an optimistic, positive, expectant person, and of course, a person of faith. Your visualizing muscles have to be strengthened. As you create pictures in your mind of what it is that you want (a healed and nurtured child-self) you are generating thoughts and feelings of having it now.
Child and Family Therapist Midge Noble is back with us to continue her discussion series. For today's discussion she says, "You start to relax as your six year old starts to stabilize and life seems calm, but don't forget, the waves keep coming and as caught by surprise by that big wave, the next phase of development hits! You aren't done yet! Between the ages of 6-9 you are going to feel as if you are in a time warp with behaviors ranging from good as gold to pathological! You may just decide to leave the kids with grandma.... and head to the beach alone"! - We want to always compare this developmental stage to our own childhood so we can see what we need to reconcile and release.

Dr. Brown talked in our last discussion about how conflict in the home without resolutions affect the child. Dr. Brown was saying that when the child does not witness resolutions in the home, the toxic effects of their negative emotions only increase, like fear, anxiety and depression. When the child views these conflicts and they become a pattern of behavior in the home, that child is more likely going to develop some anti-social behaviors, carry anger around with him, getting into fights, having behavior issues at school. He will talk about this child now entering adult life and how this un-resolved issue affects his/her relationships and emotionality.

He also is going to tell us about self image and what it means and how important it is to keep a high self image. Re: Visualization and Self-Image, Jesse says, "Visualization is seeing yourself accomplishing a goal or seeing yourself doing or having what you want. Its also very important to feel how it would feel to have that goal accomplished or having that thing you really want. Self image is what you think about yourself based on what you say to yourself."
Child and Family Therapist Midge Noble is joining us as our special guest. She says, "Raising kids is like driving your car through the shifting sands at the beach! Between the ages of 2-9 you are going to be dealing with chaos, crises, and change! Are you ready for that ride?"

Psychologist Dr. E. Douglass Brown will join us again to continue his discusssion from his last visit. It is just as important to clean up after a storm as it is to learn how to endure a storm. Imagine what a neighborhood looks like after a storm if no one cleans up. Storm after storm, debris and wreckage just pile up. This scenario is liken to what happens when a child never or rarely sees individuals in arguments and conflicts reconcile with each other. There is no closure - no return to a sense that the world is both safe and caring. The child - now an adult - experiences repeated disagreements and disappointments, and is shackled to the view that his or her cynical negative feelings are just being "realistic" about life. We will start with the effects in the adolescent period.
This is a re-broadcast of Jef Gazley's show from 9/11/2010 We will have Jef Gazley,master therapist, author and entrepreneur on the show today. We will discuss Validation as it applies to adolescents. On my list above, validation is the number one need with our children. This is where we begin. Our youth need to know that: - They are okay inside - They are not “mistakes” - They are wanted and not some result of a “one-night-stand” - They have value - They have a reason to be alive - Their spirit deep inside is loved - They have real meaning here - They have a purpose for being here.
Psychologist Dr. E. Douglass Brown will join us as our special guest speaker. Re: the topic today he says, "It is just as important to clean up after a storm as it is to learn how to endure a storm. Imagine what a neighborhood looks like after a storm if no one cleans up. Storm after storm, debris and wreckage just pile up.

Imam Benjamin Bilal will join us as our special guest today. This is an archived show from July 9, 2011. - We will be back live next week. - Regarding Spirituality he says the following:
"Spirituality" is not to be seen as separate from the material and social life of man. The material life is actually the densest form of spiritual existence, which is the "true" existence. Real life is pertaining to the life of the soul, or what I have dubbed the 'breathing conscience'. It gives birth to proper emotional, mental and psychic life - all of which are invisible and represent aspects of the spiritual life. In reality, they are all ONE! "Spirit" only means "influence" and if you can get control of the invisible things that influence your invisible life on a daily basis, you can maintain control over all of the various manifestations of that life, which will allow you access to peace, freedom, and wellness.
Dr. Buffy Wooten will be our special guest today. Her discussion statement is this: - Understanding your emotions and using them for your good - Many times our emotions are considered a hinderance or a liability--that they confuse our judgment and create obstacles in the process of making good and sound decisions. However whats little understood is that our emotions are hardwired in us and therefore serve a specific and higher purpose. They are actually intended to aid us in our judgement and facilitate decision making that serves us and causes our decisions to represent who we are and what we want and need.
Child Therapist Audrey Jung will continue her conversation with us on the developmental stages of our children. The 3 stages we will discuss are: Pre-operational Stage - ages 2 to 7 - Concrete Operational Stage - ages 7 to 11; Formal Operational Stage - ages 11 to 16 onwards.

We will see inappropriate vs wonderful interactions with our parents and others in our environment, and how this has affected our adult life.
Family and Marriage Therapist Jef Gazley will join us today as our special guest. He will continue his last discussion on feelings and emotions. Jef will continue his conversation from last time with the terms Detachments and Dissociations. He will talk about how we can apply these concepts for emotional balancing and centering. He will also talk about how the 3 brains we all have play a part in this process and how we can re-direct our energies from one part to another. This also helps in the area of anger management.
Certified Laughter Leader Linda Scharf will be our special guest speaker today. Laughter has been shown to have many physical, mental and emotional benefits. Simple laughter exercises, laughter meditation, and Principles of Good-Hearted Living can help bring balance, optimism and harmony into a person's life and into the world. I often have attendees think of a number between 1 and 10 (low to high) that represents how they are feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally. I ask them again at the end of our laughing hour, and they report higher numbers at that time. When asked how they feel, I get responses like: energized, relaxed, I'm in less pain, happier, no worries. One of my favorite responses, from a lady at a Red Hat program, was "I feel like going home and cleaning my house!"
"Johnny's Two, What Do We Do?" - Therapist Audrey Jung will discuss the various stages our children go through and how this impacts our relationship and what realistically is generally expected according to their particular developmental stage.

Master Therapist Jef Gazley will be joining us today speaking on this topic: EMOTIONS-What do I do with these feelings? - Where do emotions come from? Why do they occur? What purpose do they have if any? Can I control them? Can I alter them? Do others make me feel a certain way?
We will read and discuss these areas today: Identifying Emotions and Feelings, Feelings Buried Alive Never Die, Emotional Effects on the Body and the benefits of deep breathing. This is reflected in the 13th chapter of Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self, entitled Identifying & Managing Emotions.

We will talk about the differences between Emotions and Feelings- We will introduce this new discussion series and cover items such as defining emotions separately from feelings, defining and explain "Emotional Intelligence" (EQ), along with its benefits; explaining the physical and emotional effects of different emotions and feelings, and how we manage our emotions using and developing our EQ. We will know ourselves better, make better choices, apply "consequential thinking," evaluate and re-choose, motivate ourselves and choose optimism as our daily regiment. We will also learn to give of ourselves, develop empathy for others, learn how to pause before anger sets in, and use the analytical part of our brain which offsets the anger response, recognizing the signs of danger and protecting our peaceful state of mind.
We will read and discuss the end of the 11th Principle which is "We seek through prayer, meditation and studying God’s Way, to improve our conscious contact with God, and to improve our love and respect of God, praying for the power to carry God’s Will out in our lives." The 12th Principle is, "Having increased our level of faith and God-consciousness, as a result of applying these principles, we are carrying this message to humanity and we begin practicing these principles in all our affairs." - This discussion will be taken from my book Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self. The Twelve Steps of Addiction associated with the Alcoholics Anonymous organization have some good points that need to be recognized when we fall into faulty behavior.

When accepting a new life for yourself and realizing that you have to first forgive yourself and others, just saying the words alone may not be good enough to internalize real change. This is why following a program methodically with a solid commitment, and demonstrating the new you by being the example of what you are now believing, you can have more reassurance of a new path for yourself.

He also is going to tell us about self image and what it means and how important it is to keep a high self image. Re: Visualization and Self-Image, Jesse says, "Visualization is seeing yourself accomplishing a goal or seeing yourself doing or having what you want. Its also very important to feel how it would feel to have that goal accomplished or having that thing you really want. Self image is what you think about yourself based on what you say to yourself."

We will read from the 5th Principle which states: We admitted to God, and to ourselves the exact nature of our wrongs. In order to be truly effective in the freeing process, admission has to come from our own hearts through our own lips. We can’t rationalize refusing to do so by saying that, "God is All Knowing, so He already knows my character defects, therefore I do not have to admit anything." This emerging from isolation through the open and honest sharing of our terrible burden of guilt, brings us to a resting place where we may prepare ourselves for the next principle. This reading and discussion originates from my book Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self

Imam Benjamin Bilal will be our special guest today.

He will teach on the etymology of "dependency," "attachment," and "addiction," and then give the Qur'anic equivalent for each of these concepts.
We will read from the Co-dependency, Attachments and Addictions chapter of my book Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self. Co-dependency is, “A set of maladaptive, compulsive behaviors learned by family members in order to survive in a family which is experiencing great emotional pain and stress.” If a person is “maladaptive,” they are displaying an inability to develop behaviors which get their needs met. Co-dependency is another form of unhealthy attachments. The original concept of co-dependency was developed to acknowledge the responses and behaviors people develop from living with an alcoholic or substance abuser. However, over the years, co-dependency has expanded into a definition which describes a dysfunctional pattern of living and problem-solving developed during childhood by family rules.
Author, Medical Director and Founder of the Pressman Center for Mind/Body Wellness, Clinical Professor Emeritus at Temple Medical School in Psychiatry and Chairman Emeritus of the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, Dr. Maurie Pressman will join us today as our special guest speaker. His statement on Co-Dependency is this: "Co-dependency or addiction are outgrowths of the way we work as personalities, and the "cure" arises from knowing the self and calling upon the magnificent power of the soul-within. That is why it is so good and so important to know one’s self. The next thing is that there are transactions between people under all circumstances, and a dynamic equilibrium is established and maintained, unless some crisis comes along. In the case of co-dependency we mean that there is a transaction between partners in which one personality is adjusted to the other – and maintains the pattern of the other for good or bad. In the case of addiction it is for the not-so-good as far as society is concerned, for it leads to a debilitation on the part of the addict both by the addicting drug and the withering of personal strength by being overly supported by the sponsor."
Master Therapist Jef Gazley is our special guest today as he will continue his discussion from his last visit. Looking at unhealthly attachments we have the birth of co-dependency and in this unhealthy bonding we have responses that are manifested later in life. Two of those responses are repetition compulsion and trauma bonding. His statement on these two discusion topics is this: "If one has grown up in a traumatic or dysfunctional family, that person often accepts the blame and shame and is then delayed in their individuation due to developing what is called a repetition compulsion. A repetition compulsion is repeating a self-destructive pattern or behavior without adjusting that behavior and with no chance of ultimate success. These wounded children when they become adults become trauma bonded to the type of person who originally abused or let them down." and the the cycle continues.
Clinical Psychologist Dr. E. Douglass Brown will be our guest today. His statement on Co-Dependency and Addictions is this: "Substance abuse or addiction is co-dependency compounded. An addict depends almost exclusively on chemistry to engage the world, to ward off demons in the mind, to hold the sense of security hostage, and to attract companions. The addict depends on the source of the drug to supply it, depends on the drug to bring delight and relief, depends on others to rescue the addict when the abuse brings castatrophe, and depends on someone to believe the addict each time the addict cries, 'Never again!'"
Therapist Jef Gazley willl be our special guest today. His statement on Co-Dependency is this: The definition of co-dependence is the tendency to desperately attempt to take care of other people to such an extent that the needs of the caretaker are ignored. Codependency was first identified by working with alcoholic families in the early 1980’s while noticing how the mates of chemically dependent people parented their partners. Codependency was first thought to occur only as a reaction to someone in the family being addicted. It is now known that co-dependence also results from growing up in a dysfunctional family of any type. These families often emotionally abandon their children and shame them. These children react by trying to become perfect, control everything, and “fix” their parents and later their spouse and children in the hope that they will be loved and gain approval.
