I felt Stutz wasn’t very kind to rich on this podcast, I can’t exactly say why it just felt off from him towards rich, who seemed more humble and soft? I could be wrong

I had Teen Parents. Need I say more. The best therapy I've found is to visualize each situation I had as a small child when I could not defend myself , but now as an adult I mentally act out a different outcome in my mind. I say what I needed to say when I was a child. I have a fabulous life now since my energy is no longer leaking all over the place. :)

@@michaelc.antonino4740 Thank You. 😘 I have to share because it adds to the story.✌😄 I'm 72 now... only recently did I find out my dad was not some Midwest Hick...but the son of a powerful Chicago Gangster who died right before I was born. I grew up in the Hide Out hidden in an Indiana cornfield . AND I did NOT ruin my moms life because it turns out i was not her first teen pregnancy. My older brother was adopted by the CEO of SEARS. Summers he work at the Wis Playboy club. I'm having a bit of an identity crisis. 😄🤪😎

[@benjaminstamper5047]

I have to agree, I know the feeling with my teen parents. My greatest outlook on that was to treat each day as though I live with my child-self and my parent-self, and let the two coexist. When the child wants to play, the parent plays. When the child acts out or gets angry, the parent calms and collects the child. It’s a beautiful dance I play in my mind to better understand different situations and how I can react to them. Helped me through a lot of trauma growing up. Thank you for sharing your experience! 🙏🏼

[@redmoondesignbeth9119]

@@benjaminstamper5047 Sounds like you have a Great Balance! I found the benefit of having teen parent is that you grow up thinking that "adults" are 18 so I'm looking pretty young for my age. 😄

I’ve listened to you Rich for ages and no matter how many ‘experts’ in their field sit opposite you, it’s you who makes the difference. You process and then articulate information like no other. I cannot help feeling you had a tortuous early professional career as you were in a role that was expected of you, but not what you were destined for. You are very very lucky to finally be where you always should have been. Thank you Rich.

His legal training and study may well have contributed to his eloquence and mental clarity though. I doubt he becomes this way if he was a surfing bum in his 20s.

It is not possible, because in order to surrender to spirituality l is to have faith, even if you don’t completely understand. Therefore, to use your intellect to understand means you lack faith, and that is at the core of your spiritual experience.

Rich Roll is an inspiring figure. But it was fascinating to watch the psychiatrist immediately express the reason why I do not consistently watch Rich Roll. I feel exactly what he saw, every time I see a new Roll video come up. I do not enjoy Rich’s intellectualized and verbose re-interpretations, however accurate he may be. It sucks the joy out of the conversation and the intimacy of hearing something for yourself. So much we already know, it’s about allowing the interviewee to confirm it. Perhaps it’s the nature of podcasts to do that. But Rich also knows this man is vital to society, and so, on the other hand, that is precisely why I am equally compelled to watch the channel when I choose to.

[@enatp6448]

In this interview, I thought it was a good balance, but I share your thoughts about other interviews. And thus, I'm also not a regular listener. But when RR settles into that less controlling authentic place, it's a real pleasure and a gift.

[@TenTenJ]

@@enatp6448 yes. And given the nature of Phil's disease, maybe it was helpful for the conversation to be facilitated. But I always wonder, when an interviewer goes in and interrupts to summarize, what more was that expert going to say. Because ultimately, regardless of how broken the words were in this interview, they are more inspired and rooted in the art and science of the work.

Rich's genuinely beaming at sitting across from Stutz ! Loved Loved Loved this episode.

[@whatbringsmepeace]

Really appreciated the practicality offered. Like a lot of people, I've lived intellectually rather than being action oriented, and I sympathised when Rich was asked what he felt, and he answered what he thought at times. When you're programmed that way, it's hard to "feel" situations. Instead you "think" them. I'll need to listen to this more than once to grasp all the concepts but I tried the exercise of gathering love and sending it to someone and I felt that. It was real, so I had a deeper appreciation of the concept of 'do what I say and see if it works'. Every interview you watch will feel flawed to the extent that your ego tries to distract you from the content. If the chair annoyed you or Rich talking too much, whatever, just realise there is gold here for you if you can suppress that irritation and open to it. We're all just doing the best we can in any given moment. I'm pretty sure that's what it means to be human. I particularly loved the discussion at 1.29 when Rich stops himself being defensive to explore the personal criticism. That level of vulnerability is something we can all strive for.

[@lindamoses3697]

❤After each patient leaves say congratulations!!! to yourself. You have done something few can do. You have climbed a mountain most wouldn't even dare take the first step. Get outside enjoying nature at least a half an hour a day if not more. I am elderly, disabled and alone almost always. I sit outside on my patio and look at the beauties of nature and talk softly to my maker. I thank Him for each beauty and blessing I can think of. I thank him for my Savior, my family, living in America, living in peace, for safety. I pray for miracles and expect them. They come usually with the help of a person when in a time of need. I used to teach school in elementary school. I found that praise is the greatest motivator. It brings joy, drive, and cooperation like nothing else can. Praise yourself and your patients. You will all be much happier.

When Phil talked about the young artist and how his talent felt like almost a trick to him.

Those two years in sobriety were not wasted you healed and learned in that timeframe. Relapse can be as much of part as recovery in the long run as it is a teacher as well especially after abstaining for two years which is about the time it can take the mind and brain to heal from alcoholism.

Dear Rich...Thank you for your brilliance, your dedication to your craft, and your heart. The highest spiritual practice is to accept yourself as you are and to be joyful.

Those who are the most spiritual emanate pure love and joy and will shower that upon you. You're trying so hard. Relax...you're awesome just the way you are!! It truly is time to enjoy all you have created and all that you are. If not now...when? This message is sent with love and admiration!

It's so revealing to hear (read) people saying "just talk normal', or "just" do anything. If a person could, they would. Akin to saying, "just put the drink down", and feel ok about it. "Just see the colour red", when you don't have the receptors to do it. "Just stop drowning" when you've never experienced water. Putting myself in another person's shoes, really empathizing, requires taking my own shoes off first (or my water wings!!).

“What’s wrong with you” is right off the bat the wrong premise. It is not about what is wrong with you but rather “What happened to you”. When you look at your behavior patterns from that angle, they make complete sense. “What happened to you” Removes the sense of shame and guilt that often afflicts individual who are looking to heal themselves from behaviors that no longer serves them. A book called “what happened to you” which is a conversation between Oprah Winfrey and Dr Bruce Perry M.D, P.H.D changed my life. It gave me a completely different perspective on mental illness and Complex post traumatic disorder that I have been suffering stemming from child abuse.

Gabor Mate sums up what you just mentioned. The question is what really is hurting us? A lot of the time it steams from childhood.

[@joansloyer5245]

So well said. Thank you

[@ikeymizrahi4340]

That’s a great book I listened to it twice

[@thedanlife]

It's funny, I know this stuff works because I use it on my kids everyday. They'll get stuck on something so I'll have them help out with a chore or something and theyre immediately in a new headspace. It's great you two could connect, record and share your conversation. More conversations, more hard work, keep growing. Thank you

[@kl7985]

*Immediately runs to go watch the Netflix doc as a preface to this interview*

[@tralasong]

haha me too!

[@Wingedmagician]

first half is amazing the second half is jonah hill getting all meta and self-conscious about the doc

[@BrendaStumpfStudios]

Using The Tools have change my life ❤

[@SherylClancy-Maenza]

Absolutely beautiful conversation and I love Rich’s open vulnerability in the exchange… truly lovely!! ❤

[@pinky5484]

What Rich summarized from about 1:26:00 to 1:29:00 was epic! I love at the end of 1:29:00 Phil pointed out to Rich basically what he was trying to teach him in that Rich needed to leave his intellect behind and lead with his heart ❤️ I’m not sure if that is what Rich’s wife is trying to help him with but I love how insightful and willing Rich seems to be open, humbled and grow. This episode was magic between Phil and Rich… Thank you 🙏🏻 ☺️🥰

[@leonardovila80]

did he say fuck you at 17:09 ? im confused

[@arieldeleon157]

Incredible, very grateful for your vulnerability in sharing this Rich👊👊👊respect.

[@nicolemueller8753]

This was an amazing documentary. Thank you for bringing light on something that was so confusing to me. What a courages soul.

[@MaureenCleary]

It's simple - Pain-Uncertainty and ... as Phil points out so clearly: Hard Work No matter who you are - for the rest of your Life 🎉 and so? Stop trying So damn hard to figure it out....Grateful Flow - Active Love and keep Moving Forward...ad infinitum

[@rocktorrocks]

To comment on the doctors. We expect higher salaries because many professionals like engineers and developers just a few years out of college are earning the same or more than us. Even mid-levels like NPs and PAs are approaching some doctor salaries with far less training. However, we spent 7-10 years under insane levels of stress in medical school and residency, which not only takes a huge physical and mental toll but we also sacrifice our prime years and lose almost a decade of potential income. Add to that the average doc has to take on $250K+ in student loans that begins accruing in interest even before they finish their training and crap show that is working in US healthcare now where docs are doing more BS work like charting and fighting insurance companies or misinformed patients and we have a recipe for severe burnout and depression among docs.

[@theveroadventure31]

Loved this conversation. I usually listen on my runs - but this one I watched on KZbin. Special experience to watch this one. Really enjoyed the vulnerability and conversation. Thank you for paving the way to growth, Rich! Deeply inspired by your content.

[@arthurelola4998]

You nailed your issue at 57 minutes. It’s your relationship that you aren’t sure of . Your wife wants to change u but u aren’t sure. You have to address with all honesty if you are meant for future. It seems massive but people change and aren’t meant to be around for life

[@theoptimizedparent]

That sure was a wild ride...what an interview. Thank you Rich for your vulnerability here. A lot to think about.

[@SpiritualNotReligious369]

I don't know why this video was in my feed this morning because before watching this, I had no idea who either of you were. I am so grateful that I have learned to "listen" when I'm being nudged. Thank you, I love you both. I just subscribed and now I'm off to watch this wonderful documentary you're talking about.

[@jodyhead007]

As much as we aspire to be all that we can be, the ultimate challenge is to simultaneously be in acceptance of all that we are, albeit at that point in time, we are never the finished product, the power is being in full acceptance of where and who we are in this moment, as we strive towards all that we can be. I could watch another 5 hours of these two talking, exploring, Phil being so comfortable with all that he is and all that he is not, he does does not shy away, Rich being all that he is, struggles be all that he is. Fascinating. Phil thank you for facing the Xs of your life with an unbounded commitment to being what you believe. I would love to give you a hug, I appreciate you, I thank you, I appreciate your insights that you share, you are the lived experience, you have not shred away. So much for love for you.

[@amandalevkoff4944]

I really appreciate the vulnerability in this episode. Thank you for this.

[@noahgreenberg831]

Thanks this was fun. I work in the therapy field and appreciate an inside view to how others work. Getting to see you two was like getting to know you, so thanks for sharing

[@SherylLavelock]

I really like your style, Rich. Your intellectual tone lends credibility to the spiritual aspect of your interviews and provides the opportunity for it to be heard and considered by those who might otherwise discount it as “woo woo.” Dr. Stutz is very interesting. His philosophy is much like that of Pia Mellody, author of, “Facing Codependency.” Her theory is called Post Induction Therapy and is used at the famed recovery center at The Meadows in Wickenburg, AZ.

[@lynettehutchinson2517]

Love for others and transparency. Thank you Phil and Rich!

[@nadegerobertson9002]

Profoundly moving on every level. Thank you for this amazing conversation. The excellence, vulnerability and courage is inspiration in action. Blessings to both of you beautiful men and your families.

[@ddextera]

I'd love to hear that follow up call. -Another great interview, experience, journey within!

[@tralasong]

Truly beautiful interview. I was feeling frustration on my own journey and there were key points here which I see much value in and will delve into deeply. I thank you both for your authenticity and openness. xo

Analogy is perhaps the highest expression of intelligence and his diagrams distill the analogies, taking them to the another level of clarity.

[@Gsp_in_NYC]

Carl Jung was and is correct about human nature and culture.

[@James-ip7zk]

You are right, I keep coming to his ideas, they are as relevant as ever. I had the luck to have a therapist who used Jung ideas seriousl, it helped me

[@BATgirl57]

Rich, I think you’re way more spiritual than you realize. It makes me sad that Julie makes you feel that you’re not good enough. Shine on in your unique and perfectly imperfect way. 😘😇✌️🌱💜

[@frayfray720]

I didn't hear him say that Julie thinks he isn't good enough. Not to be nitpicky, but i think "good" is too loaded of a word. I heard him say his wife wants more intimacy in their relationship.

[@mauricioherrador7791]

I don't think July does makes him feel not good enough. That is purely his way of reacting to her.

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

Agree with your post 💯! Apparently, we seem to be (so far) the only 2 here who realize the gaslighting going on here 🤯? ...to the point that Rich believes he is somehow 'wrong' or not enough... AND! Many of the comments here appear to be doubling-down on this (god-forsaken) belief, as well... Eg, 'Rich is 'too intellectual; lacking in spirituality' (as if one cannot occupy both states simultaneously 8r in the same conversation) -??😒 SMH I do see this in the same light as yourself. I did leave a comment to that effect. But I think you've expressed it in the most loving and uplifting way, for Rich. Imo- he's the perfect mix of intellectualality and spirituality. And...yah feels sad to me also that he seems to now have this faulty view of himself - that he's not quite enough😔

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

​@@frayfray720 Well, imo - you've missed the nuance here. Look beneath - or deeper - into what's being said or wrotten - and you'll get the nuance - not just the superficial 'meaning.'

[@zenkat19]

Id love to see Julie do this with Dr Stutz...could she?.

[@myaalberto2959]

Ommg this podcast by far the best I’ve seen in any platform… talk about the vulnerability energy is felt deeply.

[@rgcamsf]

Thanks Rich & Phil! Feeling was deeply human.

[@milarepa1234567]

Really great!! I have really been struggling with the conclusion of an intense chapter of my psychological journey and these words are so helpful, literally words to live by. Thank you.

[@observerone6727]

Seek and be understanding, because understanding is always better than assuming, and knowing is better than believing. Understanding builds a solid foundation, whereas faith is less stable because it essentially claims "because I say so".
