Thankyou for sharing all the real knowlwdge Really appreciate the effort and time you put in for us. Lots of love and respect ♥ ♥

Hey Jordan, I’d love to hear your opinion on this. I feel a strong pull towards embracing the fully matured side of the magician archetype. I want to absorb and synthesize wisdom in the same mentoring way that you do. I’ve signed up for a bachelor’s in psychology (I’m the same person who commented about pursuing a bachelor’s in psychology on a different video), as I was inspired by your videos on these topics, and how you teach and initiate this sacred knowledge. However, there are some things that feel off as I’ve been learning new concepts in this program over the past few weeks. This bachelor’s focuses on becoming a psychological consultant or assistant, but some aspects don’t sit well with me. This video topic is really allowing me to reflect on the following, as i am learning to more therapeutic: They teach us that a certain level of professionalism is required when working with clients (which I understand and respect). I know that I cannot let my own traumas and conditioning interfere with communication between myself and the client which you also talk about in this video, but the methods of how they teach me this feels very objective and scientifically based. I’m expected to communicate in the most objective, scientific tactical, and questioning manner possible. There are many questions I cannot ask, as they are considered to stem from my personal motives (which I feel could actually help someone if I were to mentor them). I have to constantly keep everything absolutely neutral and objective, based on the best tactic. But it feels soul-draining, ungenartive (in the sense of not drawing energy from this method of scientific-systematic therapy questioning). I hope you understand what I’m trying to say here. Maybe I’m wrong and have a misguided or ignorant view of what being therapeutic means. I absolutely believe and feel that you have this level of professionalism. But at 23:32, you mention being more humane with the client if they give consent for it in a professional manner, which I completely agree with. However, what I am learning in school says that I am absolutely not allowed to show this kind of relatedness during a therapy session. I feel like I’m not helping people by being authentic; instead, I feel like I’m systematically just asking questions. I really want to mentor people in the same way you do, but I feel like I’m learning to be robotic instead of authentic, i would really love to hear your advice on this. Much love, Roy❤

In my childhood, I felt so close to the little children of fairy tales that as play, at the ago of seven, I used to wash my mother's floors kneeling on the ground, with a rag. I wonder if my Inner Child is still there, cleaning the house to appease the witch.

hey, - your content definitely has a personal, valuable imprint : your manner of deliverance is much appreciated and it has much merit of its own. However, this answer about your parents being alright, just not befitting you, well… i think that is too odd a stance : if you, as an infant, cannot bond with your parents they have definitely failed as parents. whyever you should be of that other mind, it escapes me - yet i think it matters a lot. see, as by your own account, people may become interested in your vantage point over the landscape of trauma from this or that thing they hear you say, but doubtless your 1-1 service is therapeutically oriented : that is a completely different story. in order to confidently price for a healing service you must have a tested theory over the mechanics of the disease, and thereafter of your solution against it ; no matter how much you read, alluding to others' ideas cannot possibly cut it : whatever their use was to you, you simply cannot honestly believe they should be of use to someone else. so i think it would be of tremendous interest to have your account of your entire transformation ! you know, as i heard you speak of your parents, i just found myself immediately dubious of the truthfulness of your own ideas, meaning of your personal stance on the matter of trauma.

Need more people like this human in my life - I just feel like a little girl wanting to make friends with this intellect cause its so "matching matching"!! loveeee that i found your video, bless you - may you spread the word to all those who intend on seeking .. lets say existential intel

Thank you Jordan for all the work you are doing, I am so glad I have found you! I am going to adopt you reading routine --- I used to read books in a very similar way, but grew irritated of the pace of reading & retention of information & time-consuming copying parts of the books into my Word file. After trying to memorize as much as possible and just "read faster" I realized that the former way is actually one of the best strategies to educate yourself. You have time to savor books and link them directly to real-life situations, without excessive external pressure & deadlines & cramming without understanding.

I been watchin bros courses over n over all day, n paused for one of the only few times n bro actually made me smile even during freeze framed..

Thankyou for this ❤ Deeply impactful and affirmative. I would love to see a video about the specific approach you use with clients, or just an example of how you might work with someone with dissociation and trauma in a relational and therapeutic context 🙏

Thank you for the video. Can you consider talking about healing the damage sense of identity. I went through severe childhood trauma where I was forced to shut up and suppress who I am in everyway in order to feel safe in an emotionally and physically abusive household. This made me without sense of self or knowing who I am and how to express myself also it built a great feeling of shame in who I am. If you have some insights or reading recommendations to share on that topic it would greatly help

Thank you so much for this video, Jordan. I've been very lost in trying to understand "ego transcendence" without some engagement of the intellect. Multiplicity to Union. Trying to comprehend the "simple and complex". I can hardly explain it. It seems like a lot of meditation teachers say that spiritual teachings are simple and you can meditate your way into a simple enlightenment state. Why is it then that crave so many complex books right now, then? Maybe you tackle this one in a video someday.

Great work as usual. Very insightful. Appreciate your work and content.

Fantastic ❤ This is why we need medicines like mdma to be legalized. It induces a level of safety that allows you to contact the implicit memories, and to metabolize the trauma in real time. It is incredible and deeply healing, and I hope those with ptsd will have legal access in the next decade 🙏

Hi Jordan...when Carl Jung met Freud in Vienna they spent thirteen hours talking incessantly I wonder what they talked about ?

12:17 The story of the little girl saying to herself 'I can do it..." And then celebrating when she's able to do it, saying "woohoo, I did it!" is so precious & heart-warming. I'm so glad her parents put those narratives in her self-image. Really beautiful stuff.😊

"Preemptively Self-punish". Dang.

5:23 I've never heard of something like a "Positive intrusive thought". I didn't even know people can experience that. Edit: I'm really interested in this because I realized recently that I internally talk to myself in a way that I wouldn't dare talk to another person. I'm wondering about how to self-reprimand or discipline, without resorting to abusive language.

Jorden I truly enjoyed this A&Q video. Thank you for being so open. Was wondering if you would be open to sharing your life path number, as some of your answers, how you answered them, reminded me on myself.

Sounds good

Thank you.

Thank you so much man ! I want to be like you when I’m older , helping people and being a role model especially from growing a dysfunctional household. Any books would you recommend on politics and the inner work for it?

Great video. Which book do you recommend for a pre teen?

Jordan, what is your opinion about human design? Will truly appreciate your response.

Thank you for sharing this so openly. Appreciate it. Our early lives seem quite similar, but trauma seems to be one of the great catalysts for spiritual growth so I'm not surprised. I'm amazed and inspired by your diligence and I pray that you will continue to be rewarded for your hard work and generosity. Thank you recommending The Primal Wound. I had not heard about this book before but it's an instant buy for me. Any chance we'd get to hear your top 20 some day? wishing you the best.

You keep finding all these books I'm interested in reading but I can't afford to pay 70 euros for them. They're so hard to find.

I just discovered you, have watched a few of your videos, and feel deep gratitude. Sitting here with my thoughts and feelings...you are telling deep truths...sharing profound hope, and your face and voice make your audience feel seen and heard, safe and warm, and then make one inspired to act, to reach higher, forward...and you aren't even seeing us...but you're speaking from the core of your soul, and it speaks with sincerity and clarity so you reach others. Thank you for your work Jordan.

Thank you for the guidance. As many said you have a nice voice to listen to and speak eloquently. To improve you should pause a bit more between your sentences. It makes it easier to follow you. All the best to you 🙌🏼

Scholarly body of work you have Jordan. May you please list the books from this video? Thank you, wishing you well.

Not even a minute into this and i cant express how needed this is. Thank you for your efforts

My daughter, who’s followed you during this past year. She’s on a crisis. Wondering if you could help her? I’m worried about her livelihood. A man she’s been dating for the past year and a half. He’s 23 years older than her. It’s been a roller coaster relationship. He’s been very derogatory towards her for her emotional self and feelings and her insecurity. She has been on a roller coaster. Not knowing what will happen next. She’s felt so insecure, and she’s gotten more so, and he hates her for it. She’s so good to him. Willing to overlook his lack. But now, He’s trying to break up with her. Over the phone. At night. And she’s hysterical. He knows she won’t eat. She’ll be throwing up. And is totally blindsided. He says she’s crazy. And that she is the problem in the relationship. She bought a ticket to fly to see him but her dad said no. She lives with us. We have a cabin and retreat rental facility. She has a majestic bird she’s raised. Which now has two geese her bird hatched and raised, because she have her goose eggs we drove to pick up. Anyway, Long story short, She’s felt something off, and he popped this on her tonight. Instead of doing in person. She’s beside herself. And it’s crazy, she was asking if I could find out if and therapists would take an apprenticeship without a high school diploma. She wants to learn, and tried to advise me today, trying to be positive. Then this happened she’s totally flipped around. Desperate and crying and devastated. Any advise? I’m Distraught for her.

Your dedication to this practice is fascinating.

Oh boy, trauma bond. Need to work on myself and live an authentic life. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I feel very understood right now, with some of red flags. When i meet someone that does not read books, i immediately lose interest. Also with health choices, like smoking, drinking alcohol, drugs, junk food and no exercise... And I am usually seen like too picky and not taking people as they are. But i respect my time and who i spend it with.

Hi Jordan, Just wanted to make you aware that your comment section is being Used by some marketing intruders promoting their business !

I'm not working in service work like you did, directly helping human being with their life, I'm doing work with data, and sometime it does feel like it's meaningless, but do you have a different point of view about working in a field which not related with helping people? I have friend doing volunteer work outside 9 to 5 job, but I don't think I could keep up with that kind of work, so much interaction with people needed and I'm kind of low energy kind of person.

Love your channel Jordan just wondering if you’ve ever read Nietzsche thanks

Hello, I am new to the healing inner work journey, which started 5 months ago. I started after hearing many people talk about the impact of negative core beliefs on one's life. I focused heavily on studying about them and trauma, especially C-PTSD until I stumbled across your videos and I was astonished to discover there is so much more to healing work. Now I am perplexed about which route to take, and I have difficulty connecting the dots with your holistic approach to healing and belief work, as some say changing core beliefs alone does most of the job. I would love to hear your thoughts on this! Thank you!

Amazing video, Jordan. Your goal of being authentic seems well and truly achieved. I wanted to ask a question about the inner critic, which you discuss at the end. It’s something I’ve struggled with massively. Magnifying past events, creating punishing scenarios that fill me with dread and fear. I see these as the inner critic, but where I seem to get stuck is I don’t think in sentences or hear a voice. I don’t see words or sentences, NOR do I hear my own voice in my head criticising me. I literally just see images, moving or still. A thought such as “I should probably park in that space” doesn’t appear in word or voice format, it’s simply a bubble of consciousness/ cognition. This makes it hard to work with the inner critic as there isn't a sort of language/voice to work with, just a trend of thinking patterns which are critical , negative, shaming. Do you know of any reading material that could address this ? Perhaps I need to work on finding the voice or archetype of the inner critic? At the moment it feels too embedded to recognise as a “part” of me. Keep up the great work

I really appreciate the 'objectification of your lover piece'. You verbalised how I feel about private life and public life. I avoid having a social media presence/internet footprint - but also aim to work digitally. A tight rope to walk. The internet remembers forever and it gives people access to your beloveds without consent. The sensationalistic fascination to drama or no drama surrounding relationships, invite others energetically into your sacred space. I respect the hard line you draw and don't think it is extreme. It is unusually hard lines that ensure the preservation of privacy.

Jordan, Firstly congratulations on the anniversary!!! I found your reading process really interesting. BUT I have questions... Immersing yourself in the first read is an excellent idea. (most people would say that they don't have time for this. But that's a different topic) It's the second read. I have a similar style of studying, I mechanically write out huge quotes & annotations too. However I am doing my 2nd Masters (this one in Psychology) and I'm focusing less on absorbing information, and more on developing my academic skills. An example of this would be to go through ten abstracts and critique the methodology, the results, the information sources. What I am currently developing is a rubric, that I can complete to critique everything that I read. Do you think that something like this may be useful to you? It seemed as though you absorb a lot of information but aren't engaging yourself in the materials. Where does your mind, thoughts, reactions come into it? How does the material effect you?

I don’t need more substances that destroy my ego, I need a stronger ego. You just perfectly encapsulated my commitment to sobriety. I love what psychedelics have taught me but being grounded and feeling embodied are states that I rarely felt, and after a while I found the psychedelic experiences I was having were making me feel less connected from my body and reality. Maybe I’ll come back to them one day, but fasting, meditation and exercise are enough for me right now. Loved the video Jordan and always appreciate your content 🫡

44:54 Well… the economy is real bad Jordan 😭😭

9. Is very big for me, I used to thinl exhausting myself and overextending myself as much as possible was a way to improve but I’ve done a lot of work since then to realise how and when to take breaks. That became very important to me, and it allowed me to heal.

Amazing clarity while sharing. Was focused for whole length. Thank you Jordan for being honest as much as you did.

Love it! I rejected podcasts as well. After thourough thinking, I have realised that after turning towards what I actually want to pursue, there was yet another hierarchical trap. The hierarchy of "influencer" lather. Podcasts, conferences, summits, etc... Even the idea of writing a book doesn't seam appealing to me. Authenticity is to be authentic to myself. So I keep my simple routine, and love it. Wish I had a way to contact you. I don't have instagram.
