This episode focuses on stages of faith development.

  • How did I get here from there in my spirituality
  • Foundations
  • Ages 0 - 2, learning trust, this can impact our trust in God later
  • Ages 3 - 6, our image of God comes from our parents, very concrete, how are responded to when we don't do what is expected or wanted, are we shamed or given grace
  • Ages 7 - 12, justice and fairness, good happens to good people, God is old, white man with a white beard. Literal, logical thinking begins to develop, experience faith
  • 12 - adulthood, trust in institution of religion, challenges of faith are often ignored due to feeling threatened. If this...then this. People can get stuck here
  • Mid 20's to late 30's, reflective stage, forming own beliefs, owning faith
  • Mid-life crisis, moves beyond conventional beliefs. Open to others faith perspective and not threatened by others understandings.
  • Universalizing faith, rarely achieved. Can relate to anyone at any stage and don't have the need to push people along in their faith.

This is part one of two episodes on this topic.

  • Every theory has strengths and weaknesses
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT. The most researched type of therapy
  • Behavior is shaped by your thoughts, often uses worksheets
  • Works to install new ways of thinking and directing your thought patterns
  • Can use CBT on a lot of different issues, addictions, relationships...
  • Requires practicing over and over, and role playing is helpful
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, DBT. A subset of CBT. Focuses on emotional regulation. Important for trauma work
  • Works to create stability
  • Mindfulness...self aware of emotions and body reactions
  • Distress tolerance awareness
  • Interpersonal effectiveness
  • Emotional regulation...how to come back from reactiveness
  • Designed for borderline personality patients, but is helpful for a variety of diagnosis
  • This requires a lot of buy-in from clients. You have to choose to practice and commit to change and choose to practice self examination and be uncomfortable
  • Acceptance and change

]]>In this episode of "An Incomplete Guide to Personal Growth" Sydney and Kelly interview Ana Maldonado, LPC, discussing different types of therapy. This is part one of two episodes on this topic.

  • Every theory has strengths and weaknesses
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT. The most researched type of therapy
  • Behavior is shaped by your thoughts, often uses worksheets
  • Works to install new ways of thinking and directing your thought patterns
  • Can use CBT on a lot of different issues, addictions, relationships...
  • Requires practicing over and over, and role playing is helpful
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, DBT. A subset of CBT. Focuses on emotional regulation. Important for trauma work
  • Works to create stability
  • Mindfulness...self aware of emotions and body reactions
  • Distress tolerance awareness
  • Interpersonal effectiveness
  • Emotional regulation...how to come back from reactiveness
  • Designed for borderline personality patients, but is helpful for a variety of diagnosis
  • This requires a lot of buy-in from clients. You have to choose to practice and commit to change and choose to practice self examination and be uncomfortable
  • Acceptance and change

]]>In this episode of "An Incomplete Guide to Personal Growth" Sydney and Kelly discuss the freedom that comes from self-forgiveness and how it is tied to forgiving others, Kelly interrupts Sydneys clever segue.

  • Forgiveness is a process
  • Forgiveness does not mean reconciliaton
  • How do we teach or talk about forgiveness
  • Moving on too fast
  • Steps in the process
  • The process cycles and we return again and again
  • Changing or turning around
  • I rely on God, Higher Power, etc..., my own will power is not enough
  • Forgiveness is for ourself and the freedom that comes from forgiving

You know that's not it, we just take a look at the role small things play in personal growth.

  • Kelly fesses up to an ethical dilemma that she didn't handle well.
  • What do we mean by small things.
  • Small things can reset us and give us a lift.
  • Small actions build upon other small actions.
  • A pebble in the shoe can bring great discomfort.
  • The messages you give yourself point the direction you are headed.

Reflection/Action: Do something small for someone...let a car merge, send a quick text to a friend or family member, play the piano for 5 minute, stand outside in the sun's warmth for 5 minutes...something small

Notice when someone does something small for you and how it makes you feel.
