Episode 8 – The Upward Spiral

Episode Description The term “Upward Spiral” was something Tanya coined, in regards to the process of progress. Oftentimes, she felt as though she kept repeating the same mistakes, over and over, but her therapist told me that she viewed it similarly to “circles on a record player.” That is, while similar situations may occur, every time we choose differently, we progress outward. We also introduce a section called “General Banter,” which ended up turning into an epic discussion about infinity, and how we get mad at physics, so we are coining this one, “General Relativity Banter.” Keywords Trauma, trauma healing, PTSD, therapy, psychotherapy, talk therapy, mental health, jiujitsu, brazilian jiujitsu, bjj Show Notes Existential theory on Psychology today "Radical Acceptance" - Tara Brach Inner Parts work Chapters (0:00) - Mic drop (1:21) - General relativity banter (2:51) - Dropping shit (6:05) - Existential box-related nightmares (8:35) - Post-game analysis (14:10) - Main topic (34:10) - Closing remarks Find out more at http://therapyismytherapy.coRead transcript
