Conscious experience is a result of our awareness, but how do we take back our free will from external drivers?\n\nThis episode explores the links between the conscious experience and what Free will really is. Building on that we explore how the body deals with pain and negative emotions and how we can learn to carve free will, awareness and control into our day-to-day lives.\n\nDr Stephen Porges is the father of Polyvagal Theory and how the body perceives threat and safety. His lessons are crucial for how humans connect, learn and exist and build the fundamental concepts to understand emotional intelligence.\n\n\nUpgrade to Premium:\n\U0001f3d6\ufe0f Ad-free listening\n\U0001f918 Support the show\n\U0001f513 Exclusive AMAs and bonus content\n\U0001f4ac Community Discord\n GrowthMindset.Supercast.com\n\n\nSponsors:\n\U0001f959 \U0001f60b Factor: 50% off - code GROWTHMINDSET50 - FactorMeals.com/GrowthMindset50\n\n\nRelated Episodes\n\n\nThe Psychology of Fear, Security and Emotional intelligence: Neuroscience lessons from Polyvagal theory - 13th Aug 2024\n\n\n\nHow To Build Free Will and Self-control: Determine your outcomes in life - 06th Aug 2024\n\n\n\nThe secrets behind curiosity without worry: How to build inner peace with Dr Stephen Porges - 16th Aug 2024\n\n\n\n\nMeet Sam\n\nFree Call - Schedule Link\n\n\n\nGrowth Mindset Psychology:\nSam Webster explores the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement.\n\n\nWatch - YouTube (Growth Mindset)\n\n\n\nWebsite - GrowthMindsetPodcast.com\n\n\n\nChapters:\n00:00 Consciousness, Free Will, Pain and responses\n03:40 Viktor Frankl and Polyvagal Theory - The Space Between Stimulus and Response\n04:34 Interoception and Neuroception\n05:02 Managing Physiological Responses &Free Will in Relationships\n06:07 Polyvagal Interpretation of Free Will and the Nervous System\n08:09 Meditation, Pain Management, Chronic Pain and Emotional Regulation\n09:45 Understanding Negative Emotions\n11:18 Strategies for Self-Regulation\n13:19 Trauma and Psychosomatic Problems\n14:52 Listener's Question on Self-Regulation & Burnout in Healthcare\n17:56 Importance of Clinician's Physiological State\n19:51 Final remarks\nLearn more about your ad choices.
