The Key to Breaking Bad Habits | Pierre Ep 7

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” - Dalai Lama
Pierre has learnt that when things become uncomfortable, procrastination is the safest response. The problem is, this only delays the inevitable pain and causes more suffering. Changing patterns we have been practising for decades is not easy, but it is absolutely possible with diligence and patience.

The tragedy of the gifted child. He seems to me as a person with waaay above average intelligence. In many cases these people end up diming their light because others around them are threatened by them. Surrounded by insecure people, keeping themselves small becomes essential to survival. Highly insightful and perceptive, the ability to see too much, too deep, too soon. For a child subjected to abuse there are 2 options: to see the caregiver as bad, meaning those all powerful beings are willing to unpredictably inflict pain on it, which no reality that can be tolerated for the unmanageable anxiety and terror that such realization induces. Alternatively, the child can see themselves as bad, which is more tolerable and more manageable, the child can jeep trying to be better, to please, it can weaponize guild and shame against themselves to become a "good" child. But the never works really, because it's the caregivers who were bad, Now an adult can live with such realization, a child simply can't afford to.

Pierre is really rocking this! It is such a pleasure to watch Pierre actually take action and end procrastination; I really appreciated the discussion of the moment of suffering vs. suffering about the suffering. It's inspiring to watch Pierre grow.

This is really helping me through my mental illness….. Can we know what’s Pierre’s podcast information?

[@jenniferthompson6280]

i so love this program, but what i miss is the setup the way it started out with the patient sitting across on the couch , no microphone like this, it doesn't feel as authentic and real as it did..the microphone would intimidate me, instead of feeling like i'm in a true session with my therapist , it feels like a production of sorts..i wouldn't feel relaxed and free to be myself and truly feel my feelings with the big microphone in my face, pls go back to the original way it started. that saying, if it ain't broke don't fix it rings true in this instance .. it was much more comfortable and felt more like a real session with a therapist and that's what drew me into the program in the first place..
