Cuomo On The Couch #3: Control What You Control

[@sparky955]

How can I just have turned 65 & heard “Life Is Pain Management “ for the first time? May you receive in return the compassion, comfort, teaching & hope that you’re giving to us. Bless you.

[@mikerussell5762]

I'm a longtime fan from your days on CNN and am still trying to catch your podcasts and shows on the CC Nation and NewsNation as often as I can. This particular video you have made here, I think, really demonstrates your personality and character and the thing that drew a lot of us to your show on CNN. I have always been impressed with people who honestly try to "tell it like it is," but do so with a message of learning and encouragement. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best of luck in this current career stage! As a professional who is less than happy with my career while struggling to get through the last five years until retirement, and also someone who has recently been diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening disease for which I am being treated currently, a video like this really hit home for me and helped remind me of the things that are really important versus the things that are really best ignored and not allowed to get in one's way. I am going to bookmark it and rewatch it as needed for inspiration when those tough days come along and get in my way. Thank you so much for your insight.

[@borntobebalanced]

As a therapist, I applaud you for using your fame to touch people’s lives by keeping your struggles an open book and convey such authenticity. I so enjoy your intelligence and ability to articulate in anything newsworthy. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dranderson6071]

As a therapist, do you appreciate his years of blatant lying? Russia Russia Russua to answer your instinctual question. And lots more

[@borntobebalanced]

Who is Dr Anderson and what blatant lying about Russia?

[@thenealfamily5]

Chris, you don’t need CNN or disloyal friends! I’m glad to see you are standing on your own! You are doing an Awesome job man! 👍🏾

[@nicolemixon7168]

Chris, If it is of any comfort. You were the last CREDIBLE JOURNALIST in the media. There are a couple of ANALYSTS left, but that's about it. The only one I watch and look forward to read is FRANK FIGLIUZZI (msnbc). I'm grateful to you and your brother for your PODCASTS. The INFORMATION SHARING makes you unique. You bring honor to your family name, profession & education. Thank you. WE ALL NEED TO DO THE WORK!

[@debrabelaska3175]

Good morning I know you say you don't like compliments, neither do I. I have been talking to a dear friend and our take on you. What has happened to know has made you more humble. You are really a very sweet person who is down to Earth. Keep being you, we like you this way. I am sure you have always been sweet and funny. But, you have a new view on life. You are making a difference in yourself and with all of us! Thank you!

[@josee123]

Chris, you have been given a great talent by God. You have such a wonderful way of communicating with others and to others. Your heart always shows through, no matter the topic. It does help (me) to know that someone like you, whom I thought was always strong and put together struggles as well. Keep on being you! ♥

[@abubakariabdulai9505]

I agree to your observation, Hod has given him a command over his communications

[@stargatergirl]

Thanks for explaining your struggles and why you are so hard on yourself. I was raised by a grandmother who was a strict Greek Orthodox disciplinarian. She used violence, torture and abusive conduct to enforce God’s will, because that is how she was raised. She never said she loved me, respected me, or even valued me, so when her voice was silenced after her passing, my inner voice took over to keep her words alive. Like you, with the help of a higher education, great friends, therapists, physicians, and self-help professionals, I discovered tools and strategies to help me affect positive change. I not only learned to love myself, I learned to like myself and respond to myself as I would a beloved friend. I learned to nurture myself as I do to my children and others. I learned to laugh at my short comings and became more conscious and mindful at my negative self-talk. You are right … it’s hard to love others …when we don’t respect, love ourselves and finally, discover that we are as amazing as those who lift us up and hold us near in their hearts. When we learn how to lift ourselves up, and hold ourselves near our hearts along with all those we love and nurture … life truly can become heaven on earth. Love to see how you keep growing, evolving and carving out a path that lifts your own spirit as well as the millions who’s lives you touch by expressing both your vulnerabilities and strengths. I hope you can see how beautiful you are on the inside as well as on the outside. 🙏

[@integrityinus]

No pitty. Just hard work and respect. Great job Chris!

[@kimberlynickles8984]

That was awesome. I listen to P!NK to feel better. Another Good option PUPPIES AND KITTENS. I bet I just made you smile.

[@Paul-pl6dl]

Chris I hope you understand how much help you are giving people who watch and listen to your Podcasts and KZbin video's right now your honesty is medicine for some people who are struggling right now. We have seen what you have been going through in your life at the moment, it's like an open book now some people can say I'm not alone I now know if I need help I just need to ask and I can get some help. Keep up the great work you are doing on your channel be positive, love your family and friends and good things will find you along the way Cheers

[@cleser68]

Mr. Cuomo, I appreciate you and the vulnerability you share. Out of awe, respect and a belief that service to others is a service to onesself I'd like to invite you as a fellow human to listen as an anonymous listener on a call investigating the topics you've touched on. Not a self help group. You've got nothing to lose. You get a link and that's it. My way of giving back and thanking you. Feel appreciated. Crystal Leser from Germany

[@drmorcoch9338]

[@nataliadacosta8392]

I have learned so much by watching your shows! You are a gifted person and I have so much respect for you! 🇨🇦 Who needs CNN?

[@michelleAB9384]

This is so helpful for me. I know you’re being extremely candid, transparent, and honest, but I need to hear what you’re sharing. Please continue and don’t let the trolls dissuade you. Keep it coming Cuomo! 👍🏾

[@rhonddabosworth]

Congratulations on your new work, Chris Cuomo. I am older than you by some decades - old enough to know how sound your advice is. We all have to learn the hard way - and we are very lucky if we do learn. So encouraged by your open-ness .... and stoicism. Will follow you on News Nation, and your personal utterances, like this one, with deep pleasure.

[@gracejupiter9991]

Once again I’m so happy to have you back!!! I thrive on routine and I’m a preschool teacher, so when covid hit my school closed. In the beginning of covid, I was having nightmares and I would remember the dreams vividly throughout the day. I’ve started at a new school since and back with a routine and I don’t remember my dreams the second I wake up!!! Thank you for being on KZbin I get so much from your videos!

[@ellenfuller2178]

Appreciate your candid sharing of your personal grapple with defeat and depression. So grateful your voice -- which provided me an anchor during the pandemic - is back on the air, and now on the web. Thank you!

[@mamacat5503]

Miss your TV shows all the way from Québec, Canada! However, truly happy to find you now on the web. Merci beaucoup Chris!

[@deborahharvey7592]

Chris, I believe you; most I could not say that about. Your talks are moving! Thank you for coming back!

[@Kj7703-x4x]

Chris, one of the hardest lessons I’ve learned in life is to forgive yourself. I could eventually forgive others for the wrongs or hurts to me. However the what or should or could I should have done ran over and over in my head until I started to forgive myself in the situation. I realized I did the best I could have done within that time frame but once I forgave myself true deep healing started. I am now wiser and will continue to learn so that I do not see myself in that same situation. You are correct you can only control what you can control. You’re on the right path, I wish you all the success , peace and healing and all the hard won and fought wisdom to come.

[@joshpegram8916]

Chris- You are helping people, probably more than you ever will know! Keep inspiring brother! I appreciate you and these conversations you are having.

[@kesa7669]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@dsstewbaby9]

Glad you are working again.. But you will never have credibility again, because you accepted what your brother did. You should have called him out👈🏾

[@carlheese]

This talk on the couch is so much better and safer than that walk talk on the road. We get to focus more on what you have to say instead of worrying if a cars gonna hit you or some crazies gonna jump on your back while you're talking.

[@joshcmp952]

Hey Chris. I appreciate you. Your line of work since your days in New Day when I first started seeing you. I knew you were someone with so much passion in seeking the truth and justice into the day to day situations. Your track record just goes above and beyond. And I really encourage you to keep concentrating in those strengths that resonate from you, in all aspects of your life that both people from opposing parties recognize about you. Guilt, emotional pain... Make peace with it. Give a call to those you left behind in bad terms and just pour your heart out. You won't feel like you're walking on broken glass anymore. I try myself to do the same with one of my past friends, if he'd only pick up the phone. But we give our sincere effort and that's what counts

[@Curlyg0613]

Thank you Chris for being so bold and honest with your story. I don't know, but this specific talk really resonated with me. I went through something similar years ago, and it too was hard and often unkind. However, what I ultimately learned was that it was for my best. And I am better because if it. So, I say the same to you. Your metamorphosis is building you to be a stronger version of yourself in the end. And you too will look back and smile with gratitude.

[@skyesands2611]

Ordered AG1 and have been drinking it for two weeks. Gritty but otherwise okay. Great subject today. What I was taught or read somewhere is that in order to break a bad habit or behaviour pattern it has to be replaced with a alternate pattern at least seven times in order for your brain to change from an old habit to a new one. As a past fellow self-effacing human, I believe it's a phase ppl go through when faced with a challenge that rocks you off balance. Now, as a senior I don't care anymore about what I had thought, how other ppl were judging me, so that's all in the past. Get through the challenge and it will be in your past. Have faith. But keep working at whatever the challenge. You are an intelligent man. A good family man. I don't personally know who you are, but opening up about your own human frailties and successes only proves my judgement is correct. Love these conversations, albeit one way. Until I add my 2 cents. Thanks for the laughs because I can so relate to everything you have said. It's all so true.

[@rosannajacksonwright927]

Thank you so much for this episode of Chris Cuomo Project. I completely relate and agree on so many levels. Have the same relationship with alcohol as you, gave up for health and because I don’t want to mix with my supplements. I disagree on the NYC crime, I use the subways everyday, but that’s okay.

[@elizabethkrigbaum4160]

You have no idea how much I need to be kind to myself. Thank you not only for your honesty but, the truths we all hide behind...

[@anniesheridan1604]

I don't know Chris Cuomo and he certainly doesn't know mw. We watch/listen to someone and think maybe their life must be perfect, scary smart, excellent journalist, beautiful family, drop dead handsome, and a soul. Then, we watch/listen to @Chris Cuomo and hear that his life is not perfect, but we admire him even more because he makes a good life and strives to be better. I became a fan years ago, because of what one little girl said. The Cuomo family was being interviewed because Chris was changing his tv appearances. His youngest daughter was asked if she thought having her dad at home more would make him a better dad and, in an instant, she popped up with "My daddy is always a good daddy." This, from a tiny little girl. That's it, this man is real.

[@helenharris9698]

This conversation was LIT. Chris went to the many places and spaces of life. Introspection is not easy, it 's about you attempting to humble yourself and being the best possible you, you can be. I loved this episode. Thanks Chris, and welcome back.

[@reallymysterious4520]

I love these but I prefer the atmosphere of the Walk and Talks - good for the soul and the other senses

I am exceedingly happy to see Chris Cuomo back doing what he does best. This is new for Xris, endorsing a product.

[@walle226]

"Couch Cuomo" how badass is that :D thanks brother for the sweet, sweet talk!

[@lab4389]

Great message Chris. I too, am struggling. My son estranged from me and I don’t even know why. I am gutted. I tell myself if your own son doesn’t like you, you must not be a good person. But, I am. He hates my values. I would do anything to talk this out- to see myself through his eyes, but he goes away. And I cry for my new granddaughter. I miss her. I honestly don’t want to get out of bed. I don’t know how to move past this. I feel like dying. I cry out to God. I need prayers and help. Thank you for you message today-I needed it. Peace. ♥️

[@Chris-vs6ll]

Give him time, going out on his own ought to be an encouraging sign

[@rhonddabosworth]

I too have been there with my older children, and I feel for you. Do not think that your son's behaviour towards you marks you as 'not a good person'. That is his own 'stuff', part of his own journey towards who knows where. OF COURSE you are a good person - your cry from the heart shows a deeply feeling, caring and loving mother. Times change and we change. Time passes, nothing lasts for ever. Feel the joy in life - yes, there is truly awful pain and you are going through it . Accept it all stoically. Vibe your son and his little daughter with your love, and turn your face to the light. You're a beautiful lady.

[@lab4389]

@@rhonddabosworth Thanks so much. ♥️

[@loriwhite1157]

[@countrycandle1460]

Chris - GREAT BROADCAST TODAY!!!!! Everything you said is TRUE. You have to love and respect yourself and - "KIS" - KEEP IT SIMBLE.. I am older than you and have NEVER BEEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA - TOO DAMN TOXIC!!!!!!! We clearly don't need any more toxic environments. You are an extremely loved individual because you have morals, standards and values, esp when it comes to your family. The old saying goes - when a door shuts another BIG ONE OPENS. So their loss - "F" them - and News Nations GAIN. I watch every nite along with millions of other viewers and if I can't it's taped. Your fans love having you back. Stay true to yourself, you matter my friend.

[@louisedavidson848]

Chris let it in!!! U r not only a wonderful person, u r a very intelligent person also. What ur sharing on these podcast help more people than u know. PS I'm loving my Daily Stoic book. Thx for that tip.

[@nishsmitty2464]

Me too.

[@cathrynevans5196]

Remember that years ago the Dalai Lama said one of the things he could not understand in western culture and society was the concept of "self loathing". He said this was completely absent among his people in Tibet and had to work to understand what this meant and how it could exist. It might be interesting to research this a little bit Because he is a very wise man.

[@DirtyPawedPanda]

Chris, I relate to the depression part of it. It takes a lot of courage to talk about our own experiences in feeling depressed. But it really helps others who are going through similar things. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@poeticCT]

Chris, you’re helping so many people, and you’re going to help many more💯 All things happen for a reason 🙏🏽

[@nicholasgiaquinto3278]

My father looked up at me on his dying day and said to me life is short keep it simple it's been my mantra and my daily practice since that day so I can relate to what you say your doing good honest real life work here.

[@MNkno]

Chris Cuomo, I am so glad to see and hear you're back, again, doing the most honest, honorable thing that you could come up with. This video said a lot of things I needed to have reinforced, and it is going to help SO many people. I followed you and your brother during the days that were very dark for me in 2020, 2021, and when you both got blindsided by the most modern of moral sensibilities, you both lived with and admitted your flaws, but at the same time, by the most ancient of moral codes baked into human DNA, both of you did your best to do the right thing. ... ... Blessings on you and may it all come out for the best for you.

[@debbyschweighardt5810]

Chris, I am amazed to hear you say that you are a self loather. How can this happen som, articulate man be self loathing? That said, I know that you were treated badly at CNN, a place where you worked and gave your all. I am on disability because physically my health is not great and I am always in pain and have been through some major surgeries. You have motivated me to try my best to obtain a part time job. I may not physically be in a place where I can work full time and I do have physical constraints, but working even part time would help to improve my mental status and finances as well. I listen to you and it keeps me from giving up. You are helping me and so many others by sharing your thoughts. Thank you!

[@eyesic04]

Chris you look and sound great. You were traumatized by the last year. It’s bad timing when you’re nearing or at midlife and you’ve always worked. But you’ve acknowledged what occurred and you’ll come back stronger than ever. I’ve been there, terminated from employment after 30 years and buried 2 husbands. But after awhile, I accepted and realized, so much was out of my control and I had to move on because there was no alternative. Life is full of hills, valleys, bumps in the road, and if lucky, periods of smooth sailing. I think you’re on the smooth sailing track now, so enjoy it.

[@Ray-ud9bf]

I am so happy to see you on this channel. We have missed you. God Bless you and your family.

Having similar struggles, this was so helpful and informative. Thanks for the words of wisdom.

[@hannahtelluselle]

Worry less of what to call it and focus on what is working instead. And whatever you feel is to be simply experienced fully, then it loses its grip on you. It's often our resistance to negative emotions that make us feel stuck, rather than letting it be like a wave passing through. I learned this when I grieved my mother and literally was lying on the floor crying and realising that this was grief. Then I learned to recognize my own process and let it pass through over the years. A good book about it is "The Language of Emotions" by Karla McLaren that confirmed my experiences. Stay well! (I have a theory on ppl with many followers, btw, who often seem to not feel happy, it's God's way of sending you so many to validate you because of your need.)
