This lesson is taken from my 16-part premium course Seneca's Stoic Toolbox for Anger Management. To take the full course with a free trial, visit: https://stoichandbook.supercast.com/Or if you're listening on Apple podcasts, you can sign up directly there. ---In this session, we explore the debilitating nature of anger through the lens of Seneca's writings. Contrary to what society may sometimes depict, anger is not a badge of strength but a chain that holds us back from reaching our full potential. Through meditation and contemplation, we address the primal, relentless, and contagious nature of anger. We examine how, even though we may not display outward aggression, the simmering rage within can be equally toxic and detrimental to ourselves and those around us. By embracing Seneca's insights, we learn to recognize and release our pent-up anger, paving the way for emotional mastery and a fulfilling life. This lesson serves as a turning point, encouraging participants to move away from the self-imposed limitations of anger and towards a more serene, aware, and harmonious existence.Support the showResources Stoic Handbook Premium Stoic Anxiety Mastery Stoic Handbook Newsletter

🚨 Watch the video version of this podcast over on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/H6QUMkbjWqY?si=exfXyM1QXiLVkojEIn this exploration of Epictetus' Enchiridion Chapter 19, we delve into the profound Stoic understanding of success and failure. Many in today's society grapple with feelings of envy and frustration, often due to external factors beyond our control. Epictetus teaches that true freedom and happiness lie in understanding the distinction between what we can and can't control. Instead of competing in external contests that can lead to inevitable defeat, one should focus on personal growth and character. Succumbing to envy and placing value on external achievements only leads to unhappiness. True success is anchored in good character and the wisdom to recognize it. Remember, freedom is about looking beyond outward appearances and valuing our internal essence.🌊  Stoic Anxiety MasteryThe ultimate psychological toolkit drawing on ancient Stoicism and modern science to help you transform debilitating fear into heroic courage.👉 Learn more here: https://stoicanxiety.com/ Support the showResources Stoic Handbook Premium Stoic Anxiety Mastery Stoic Handbook Newsletter

“If we’re in a fully awakened state, trauma’s not a problem. In a sense, it’s not trauma. It just becomes something beloved. It becomes washed through with love and acceptance. That’s the healing.”— Henry Shukman, HEx Podcast #55While Western mental health often focuses on eliminating trauma and pain as if they were thorns to be plucked, Eastern philosophies offer a contrasting perspective: embracing suffering through unconditional love and acceptance, thereby neutralizing its negative impact.The terms "awakening" and "healing" are frequently used interchangeably, though they convey distinct concepts. Healing is the act of mending what is fragmented, optimizing what can be improved, and integrating what has been divided. In contrast, awakening refers to the awareness of reality's non-dual nature, a realization that there is nothing to mend or improve because everything is inherently perfect and whole.So, should we bypass healing and jump straight to awakening? According to Henry Shukman, our guest for this episode, the answer is more nuanced.Henry is a seasoned meditation instructor who has harmoniously blended various meditative disciplines with psychotherapy, plant medicine, and other therapeutic practices to create a synergistic path toward wholeness in his own life. From the depths of eczema and despair to profound enlightenment and peace, Henry has navigated a balanced pathway that he shares in this illuminating discussion.Join us as Henry generously lays down the stepping stones for us to traverse the intricate landscapes of healing and awakening.What We Explore:Henry's transformative awakening journey and the subsequent emotional challengesHow awakening alters our relationship with traumaA powerful solution to combat lonelinessInitiating the journey into non-duality while dealing with traumaPractical approaches to working with Zen koansCan ordinary individuals achieve true awakening?Henry’s top Zen resources and recommendationsStrategies for finding the right spiritual mentors and practicesThe viability of making substantial progress via online spiritual training coursesTune in for an enlightening episode that bridges the gap between healing and awakening, and offers practical guidance for those navigating both realms.🌊  Stoic Anxiety MasteryThe ultimate psychological toolkit drawing on ancient Stoicism and modern science to help you transform debilitating fear into heroic courage.👉 Learn more here: https://stoicanxiety.com/ Support the showResources Stoic Handbook Premium Stoic Anxiety Mastery Stoic Handbook Newsletter

In this episode, we delve into the complexities of anxiety with Dr. Aziz Gazipura. We explore four primary frameworks that explain the origins of anxiety:1. Exposure: Anxiety stems from avoiding certain situations.2. Cognitive: Irrational thoughts can escalate our anxiety levels.3. Biological: Biochemical shifts can also trigger anxiety.But the fourth, known as "The Hidden Emotion Model," suggests that unaddressed issues and suppressed emotions in our lives are key contributors to anxiety. This is essentially another term for being "too nice."Being "nice" often means keeping the peace at the expense of your own feelings, which can ultimately lead to emotional turmoil and mental health struggles. I can personally relate to this, as my perspective changed after diving into Dr. Aziz's work.Dr. Aziz Gazipura is not just a compelling speaker but also holds a PhD in clinical psychology.
