The Much Better You - Episode 37 - Turn Off The News (+ Why Advertising Sucks)
1w ago00:20:39Tap to summarizeYou wouldn’t drink from a muddy puddle next to a motorway and call it “being informed about hydration”. Yet millions of people do the psychological equivalent every day by mainlining the news and wondering why they feel anxious, angry, pessimistic, and exhausted.In this Episode 37 of The Much Better You - Turn Off The News (and Why Advertising Sucks) we explore why happiness is terrible for the economy, and so why the news and advertising are designed to sell you anxiety! We explore how this machine works, why the world is actually a much better place than it's ever been (spoiler alert) and what you can do to disconnect from all this shit without becoming a self-righteous hermit-wanker.***Warning - contains a speech-impediment AI hate crime plus a counter-cultural punch!Chop chop: The Much Better You is waiting.Original episode music "I don't know why (piano)" and "SHWN (6)" by RomanoIsSolo.Thanks for stopping by! :) x(hi mum x)the MUCH better YOU podcasttheMUCHbetterYOU.comhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/2512393178896087/@theMUCHbetterYOU

Transcribe →The Much Better You - Episode 34 - Trauma Does Not Define You
2w ago00:25:56Tap to summarizeWelcome to EPISODE 34 of The Much Better You - podcast: Trauma Does Not Define You...."Telling someone with trauma to 'just get over it' is about as useful as shouting 'Calm down!' at a fire..."...We've all got baggage, peeps.Some of us just insist on bringing it into every room.Trauma is real. It hurts. It changes people. But here's the mic drop question...Does it get to decide who you become?In this episode I explore why trauma isn't just about wars, abuse or catastrophe. Sometimes it's the teacher who humiliated you. The relationship that betrayed you. The panic attack that taught your brain to fear fear itself.We'll look at why some people develop PTSD, why others experience post-traumatic growth, why your brain isn't broken (it's trying to protect you), and the science behind approaches like EMDR and memory reconsolidation.No toxic positivity.No "just get over it."Just one simple idea:Your past may explain you. It doesn't have to define you.Episode music 'I Don't Know Why (piano)' by RomanoIsSolo and 'Nothing?' written by RomanoIsSolo, lyrics by Tom Evans, music by Rob, Jon and RomanoIsSolo.the MUCH better YOU podcasttheMUCHbetterYOU.comhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/2512393178896087/@theMUCHbetterYOU
