Breaking Cycles with Jenny & Justin

The Yes Collective Podcast with Justin Wilford, PhD

EPISODE #67 - Each month in Yes Collective we focus on a central theme that ties together our new therapy tools, podcasts, and conversations. This month, we’re focused on cycle-breaking! Cycles are the patterns of behaviors, emotions, and beliefs. There can be inter-generational patterns that get passed down from one generation to the next. There can be personal patterns that have set in over years of coping, defending, and managing one's internal world. Or there can be relational patterns that take root in long-term relationships. Cycle-breaking is the conscious act of freeing yourself from destructive, unhealthy, or disruptive patterns in any area of your life.

This week, Jenny & Justin are kicking off March by talking about what cycle-breaking means to them, how it's shown up in their lives, how it shows up for their clients, and some steps they've taken in their own lives to notice cycles they might want to modify, if not break. They also, talk about the amazing guests they have lined up for March. Best-selling author and former Comedy Central executive, Tara Schuster will join them for the March 8th pod, and somatic experiencing coach and author, Lauren Lovett, will join them later in the month.
