May 3, 2012 - How Self-Aware Are You?

If you were asked the question, “Who are you,” how would you respond? Would you state your name and occupation, describe your physical characteristics, and talk about the roles you play, or would you describe the true essence of your being? To be self-aware you must be able to look well beyond the roles you play, the things you do, and your physical attributes. These aspects of yourself are certainly important and necessary, but in relationship to all you are and all you can become, they play a very small role. The goal of this show is to help you find out who you are,what makes you tick, and teach you how to achieve what you truly desire from life.

In this show I will be discussing seven commonly relatable topics that represent my points of view: learning to laugh at ourselves and life, maintaining the temple we call our body, the purpose of life, the prevalance of goodness in this world, selfless parenting, how to not take things personally, and the purpose of forgiveness.

The objective of this show is to encourage you to reach beyond your comfort zones to discover your personal truths, and to help you identify the facets of your authentic self to discover what is working and not working in your life.

As human beings we just cannot wrap our heads around the stone cold callousness of a perpetrator who can wipe out innocent men, women, and children without guilt or remorse. We ask ourselves what could possibly possess someone to commit such a heinous act. Is it insanity or evil-doing? Who knows? What we do know is that a person who could do that cannot possibly possess a shred of empathy. Prompted by my need to understand how such a thing could happen, and my desire to help you understand, I chose the topic of empathy for this show.

Have you ever asked yourself what your purpose is here, what you are supposed to add to the world? A better question to ask is, “Am I living the legacy I hope to leave behind?”Each of us will leave a legacy behind after we pass on; that is a given.

Have you ever felt like you were emotionally suc***-punched? You were just going about your business trying to live a good life and be a good person when “Wham,” someone surprise attacked your feelings and your integrity. Wolves in sheep’s clothing are very adept at disguising their true nature. They show a facade that is supportive, charming, praising, and flattering. They are very good at making others feel valued.

Are you someone with a generous nature who loves to give to others but often feels taken for granted? Have you ever asked yourself, “Why am I so giving to others yet I’m always getting stepped on and/or rejected? Why don’t others ever appreciate what I do for them?

Some studies say that more than twenty-five million Americans suffer from depression each year. When left untreated it can be a deadly disease. Depression is more than just sadness. It is all-encompassing, intense, and unrelenting despondency. It overshadows us with feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness. It makes us feel empty and fills us with despair. Depression it is not a weakness of character, it is a disease just as diabetes or arthritis is. Embarrassment or shame often prevents those who need help from getting it. The goal of this show is to educate others in the hopes that those suffering will recognize the signs and get the help they need. The message is that suffering is unnecessary. Depression is a highly treatable disorder; those who have treatment lead perfectly normal lives.

Positive thinkers are not born, they are consciously developed. Over the years we have impressed many thoughts on our brains, some positive some negative, through the use of affirmations. These affirmations consequently create the tone of our lives. We can create undesirable situations for ourselves without the slightest bit of awareness that we are doing so. It is therefore important that we learn how to exercise control over our thoughts. This show explains how to rid yourself of negativity, manifest the positive changes you desire, and make your life the very best it can be.

Striving to obtain perfection in everything or anything we do inevitably leads us to frustration, unhappiness, and lower self-esteem.We are human and therefore fallible. Should we manage to achieve perfection we will find it fleeting. Nothing is perfect and nothing lasts forever. Still many of us live in societies that reward perfection and criticizes imperfection. But much beauty can be found in the flawed, unconventional, and impermanent. This show explains how to accept yourself and the world around you just as they are, and open your eyes to the beauty that exists in the most unusual places.

Just hearing the phrase know-it-all probably conjures up images of the faces of people you know who are like this —the kind of people who have poor listening skills and who tend to dominate every conversation—the kind of people who do not want learn anything new about a topic, no matter what the subject matter is, because they believe they already know everything about it. Life is filled with difficult people and that can be a huge source of frustration for those of us who must deal with them. We may never have ideal or satisfying relationships with those who have know-it-all personalities, but the interactions can certainly be managed to the point where they are bearable. This show will help you understand what makes someone with this personality type tick. It will give you the tools you will need to cope with the know-it-alls who come and go throughout your life and the ones who are here to stay. You will also learn the mechanics of proper conversation etiquette so you can avoid ever being labeled as a know-it-all yourself.

The commandment “Honor your father and your mother” becomes a huge moral issue for those of us with difficult or abusive parents, one that leaves us feeling guilty and inadequate. Even worse is when others judge us, preach to us, and label us as sinners. Today’s show is about morality but not about religion. It is about finding ways to accept, forgive, and honor our parents when we feel they don’t deserve it, healing from our past wounds, and coming to terms with whatever situation we are left with in life.

Are you someone who has been raised in a religious family but has failed to find faith and meaning in what you have been taught? If you answered yes to that question you are not alone. Many people describe their experiences with faith this way. There is widespread confusion about the words faith and religion. Some believe these concepts go hand in hand but that is not actually true. They can exist together or apart. In this show I share my personal journey to faith after rebelling against my religious upbringing for many years. I explain why faith is so crucial to our lives and how each of us can define it in a way that fulfills our individual needs.

Everyone wants to be happy. But what exactly is happiness and how do we find it? Does it exist within us or is it circumstantial?Should we be happy all the time or is that an unrealistic expectation?

Today, for the first time ever, A Fine Time for Healing will feature an expert guest who will bring to light a widespread form of child abuse that for many years has been swept under the proverbial rug. This abuse is called “Parental Alienation.” Today’s guest, Sara Hassman, is a diligent, caring professional with a passion for children’s rights. The organization she founded, Parental Alienation Solutions, focuses on bringing awareness to a specific form of child abuse; the emotional abuse of children of divorce who have been taught to hate or fear their other loving parent. This abuse is devastating to both the child and the alienated parent. The long term effects are serious for the child’s mental health. A notable percentage of these children end up with substance abuse problems, paralyzing self esteem issues, and may even use suicide as a way to escape the years of unbearable pain. The alienated parent ends up in a lose-lose situation, suffering the heartbreaking destruction of the loving parent/child bond. This powerful show will bring knowledge and awareness to the topic of Parental Alienation, and it will offer those who are victimized by it tools for coping, healing, and prevention.

In life we have the opportunity to express our love in a variety of ways. Love is the act of giving of ourselves, lifting others up, and always wanting the best for those we care about. But love is not always beautiful and it is not always easy; it sometimes requires pushing our own needs to the side in order to do what is best for someone else. There are times that having someone’s best interest at heart requires the use of tough love. When used properly tough love is rooted in deep devotion and unconditional love, though it usually does not feel like a loving act to the person on the receiving end of it. That is why using tough love is so hard to do; we never want to hurt the ones we care about and love. But tough love is not used to hurt someone; it is used to help someone who is making destructive choices in their life. The goal of today’s show is to offer a clearer understanding of tough love; what it is, what it is not, when to use it, and how to use it. If you are dealing with someone who concerns you, someone who does not respond to gestures of traditional love, today’s show will help you understand what you need to do. If you are not currently dealing with someone who is in need of tough love, it is important to listen as well. There are times in life when each of us will have to employ its use.

Those who have suffered difficult childhoods, lacking in the consistency and safety of love, support, and guidance, generally have lingering issues that have held them back in life. Those who have done healing work are clearly functioning better than those who haven’t, but there is always something lurking below the surface. That “thing” is the wounded inner child. The inner child is a powerful entity, separate from our waking conscious minds, that carries the wounds of past traumas and impacts much of what we say and do as adults. It is a protective device, similar to a defense mechanism, triggered by reminders of these wounded aspects of our selves. We will never be free of our pasts until we face and heal this child within. The goal of today’s show is to help you identify and get to know your inner child, explain why re-parenting is so critical, and suggest ways for you heal the wounded child that has hidden inside of you for so long.

A significant amount of the mistakes we make as individuals will impact others. The degree of the impact will vary. Those of us who are conscientious and compassionate will be sensitive to the feelings of others and remorseful for our words or actions. Saying we are sorry and making due amends are the appropriate actions to take. Once said and done it is time to move forward. That is a healthy response to feeling guilty. On the other hand, guilt becomes unhealthy when those who have done nothing wrong distort a situation in their minds and irrationally believe that they have, or when one assumes more responsibility than is warranted. The goal of today’s show is to help you understand what kinds of guilt are healthy and what kinds are not, and then help you find ways to release yourself from the burdens of feeling guilty over things you have no control of.

Many recovering victims of narcissistic abuse struggle with the dilemma of whether or not to hold the narcissist accountable for his behavior. We also struggle with whether or not to forgive our abuser. We learn in our recovery that narcissism is a personality disorder, and wonder “Isn’t having a personality disorder the same thing as having a mental illness? And if so, how can we hold a mentally ill person responsible for their actions?” For today’s show I’ll be talking about the true accountability of those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a topic that survivors of NPD find very confusing. One of the things that make it so confusing is that we were programmed to feel sorry for and make excuses for our abuser. We were also conditioned to blame ourselves for the abuse directed at us. We were brainwashed to feel guilty and punish ourselves instead of holding the Narcissist accountable for their actions. After listening to today’s show you will have a clearer picture of the narcissist’s accountability and a better idea of how to move forward in your recovery.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health about 1 in 30 adults in the U.S. suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in a given year. Those with PTSD suffer persistent fear, flashbacks, hyper vigilance, and more. Though PTSD is largely recognized in war veterans, many different people who have survived traumatic events, such as rape, abuse, or natural disasters, can be impacted by long-term psychological symptoms too. It is usually triggered by a fearful, helpless, or horrific event that threatens injury to one’s self, or the witnessing of these types of traumatic events that happen to others. My special guest for today’s show is Author Dan L. Hays, a man who has first-hand knowledge of this paralyzing disorder. Dan was diagnosed with chronic and severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from two incidents in his childhood that he only began remembering as an adult. Dan is a very interesting speaker and writer with extensive knowledge on the topic of PTSD. He will be sharing his knowledge with us today and illustrating what the road to healing looks like.

Special guest Margaret Placentra Johnston, OD, author of the award winning book, Faith Beyond Belief: Stories of Good People Who Left Their Church Behind, will be sharing her well-educated perspectives and discussing her book LIVE today on a Fine Time for Healing. Dr. Johnston's "Spiritual Deveopment Theory" is based on the work of fourteen theorists of various centuries, parts of the world, and disciplines. These theorists have all described a universal spiritual path toward improving the collective human experience in our current reality and uniting us all in our common search for a connection with something greater than ourselves. Dr. Johnston offers an eye-opening perspective of spirituality based on conscious choice that looks past the restrictions of organized religion; one that is highly beneficial to each of us personally and to the global world we live in.
