Jake and Heather break it down as they discuss treatment intervention. One of the points they dig deeper on is behavioral modification.
The belief behind behavior modification is that all behaviors can be observed and measured, and used as targets for change. Behavioral modification seeks to change or shape behavior through a set of stimuli and response actions. This works under the premise that the best way to understand a person’s behavior is to look at the reason for action and the consequences of said action.

This week Jake welcomes returned guest Jesse Lott from Zephyr Wellness, to discuss deeper on the topic of Content versus Process.
It is not the language often spoken of in the world of relationships, but I think it is a highly relevant issue to address. It’s the idea of ‘how’ to do something, more than ‘what specifically to do.’ When two people can totally be authentic with each other giving each other space to be completely genuine to one another, this is what we call process, it helps communication and connection.

This week Jake welcomes returned guest Steve Barcia from Zephyr Wellness, to discuss deeper on the topic of Projection.
Projection is a common attribute of paranoia, where people project dislike of themselves onto others such that they believe that people around, dislike them.
Projection helps justify unacceptable behavior, for example where a person claims that they are sticking up for themselves amongst a group of aggressive other people.
Projecting thoughts or emotions onto others, allows the person to consider them and how dysfunctional they are, but without feeling the attendant discomfort of knowing that these thoughts and emotions are their own. We can thus criticize the other person, distancing ourselves from our own dysfunction.

Jake brings us another exciting episode today, with special guest Lindsay Garrison, a Marriage & Family Therapist and Co-Founder of Zephyr Wellness in Reno, Nevada, where they discuss deeper on how to reconnect with yourself.
When was the last time you really sat down in silence and listened to your body? Life is ever changing, we have plans but life always has other ones. We become so consumed with everything we want and we begin to lose focus of ourselves.
We always think of the mind telling the body what to do, but the communication goes the other way too, from the body to the mind. Being self-aware of how our body and our surroundings affect how we think, learn, and behave can have big effects on our ability to learn, perform and feel our best. We just have to know what they are.
