Jordan Harbinger on Lesson Learned from Ray Dalio, Building Relationships Forgiveness, Relationship with Parents, and More (#145)

Jordan Harbinger has helped develop one of the leading self-development programs in the world, with a special expertise in social capital, relationship-building and authentic rapport. He is also the host of The Jordan Harbinger Show, where he interviews leading entrepreneurs, celebrities, writers and experts about psychology, performance, life and success. For all his work in the field, Forbes named Jordan one of the 50 best relationship-builders in the world, and Inc. Magazine recently called him “the Larry King of Podcasting.”

Jordan has shared his ideas around the world as a speaker and consultant. His work has been presented in Silicon Valley (at companies such as Google, Apple, Twitter, and Square) and to various government branches and agencies (including all branches of the U.S. Military, the Department of State, and Department of Defense). He has also given talks on security, social-engineering and psychology to BlackHat, DEFCON and Harvard Business School, and has advised private companies and law-enforcement agencies on their security and communications.

A former U.S. State Department employee and Wall Street attorney who speaks five languages, Jordan has spent several years abroad in Europe and the developing world, including South America, Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the Middle East. He has worked for various governments and NGOs overseas, traveled through war zones, led several trips through North Korea, and been kidnapped—twice. (The only reason he’s still alive and kicking is because of his ability to talk his way into (and out of) just about any situation.)

On The Jordan Harbinger Show, Jordan shares all of this experience—and the system born as a result—with his listeners.

Attachment Styles, Communication in Relationships, Fear of Commitment and Healthy Boundaries — Lisa Scott

“Trauma isn’t what happens to you, it’s what happens inside you.”
– Gabor Maté

This post highlights some of the resources by Lisa Scott listened to, recently which I enjoyed so much. In fact, I have been listening to this podcast on repeat. So, here is backstory. In the second week of April 2021, I was feeling deep emotional pain and heartache. I’ve been in the process of understanding and uncovering my own childhood issues and trauma. I had heard Gabor Mate and other Legendaries mention about parent-child attachments during early years and how it shapes our relationships with ourselves and with others when we grow older.

I searched “attachment” on Spotify and this new podcast from Lisa popped up. As I started listening—I was completely thrilled and it resonated with me so much that I could go back (in my mind) to my childhood and see some deep things with less resistance and better clarity.

Hence, I decided to list down all the podcast episodes I listened to in a week so that you can also learn about attachment styles and their close siblings.

Lisa Scott is a licensed professional counselor and host of her own podcast, What’s Next With Lisa Scott. Lisa is well known for her solution based and client focused style of therapy. Aside from hosting her own podcast, Lisa owns a private practice, and is a professor of psychology. With over fifteen years of experience as a mental health professional and experience ranging from crisis intervention in a clinical setting to working with families and individuals, Lisa’s passion and focus remains on empowering people to establish healthy loving relationships not only with themselves but with others in their life .

Lisa’s podcast is for all ages and all walks all life. If you’re human this podcast is for you. Lisa Scott is a licensed professional counselor who has developed techniques to start living a more authentic, fulfilled life, by taking common theories from the therapy world and making them relatable and something people can connect to. Anger, sadness, anxiety, self worth, authenticity and how to take your power back are just of the the concepts she discusses.

Dr. Dyan Haspel-Johnson on Hypnosis, Improving Quality of Sleep, Slowing Down Brain Waves, Altered States, and Much More (#140)

“Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.”
– Zen Proverb

Dr. Dyan Haspel is a highly accomplished and successful licensed psychologist, hypnotherapist, and trauma specialist. For over 25 years she has been creating self-hypnosis recordings for thousands of busy people to help them heal their bodies and minds so that they can sleep and reach their potential in their relationships, their work, and in their physical and mental health.

Before building her full private practice, she worked for 20 years in a holistic medical office using mind-body-spirit interventions. She also taught hypnosis for sleep, to treat pain, anxiety, depression, digestive and immune issues, and more, at UCLA, USC, and the Southern California Society for Clinical Hypnosis, where she served as President.

She lives from the principles of integrity, compassion, and empowerment. In order reach our highest levels of our potential personally and professionally, we need to rest. To help more people do that, she created Self-Hypnosis for Healing Corp. The key online product, the Deep & Easy Sleep Self-Hypnosis package provides people with 7 self-hypnosis audios, 2 how-to videos and a guidebook. It teaches people how to rely on natural skills (instead of pills!) to rest and resource themselves throughout the day, and to sleep at night.

The self-hypnosis strategies that she has designed differ from other apps or downloads because they have been built on understandings of physiology (brain waves, sleep architecture, the endocrine system, etc.) and the psyche (hypnotic language, autonomic processing, the unconscious, etc.).
