I have major depressive disorder with anxious distress. My life and work performance really suffer. I feel guilty and worthless most of the time. I can hear my coworkers talk about me...can't blame them..
Thank you for the share of this bright podcast! Practicing joy is always winsome. A question - you mention the soul, elements of Darwin's theory of evolution and various Buddhist teachings. Do you have a source to explain how these are integrated? Liberation from samsara in recognition of the nature of suffering through use of means of the path out of suffering is a core Buddhist way to explain the purpose of meditation as well as living Dhammapada, the path of truth. It is unclear how the emphasis on feeling joy can be the chief goal if rebirth is continuing, including to difficult places based on merit of actions as Buddha explains in his dissertations.
I think negative core beliefs are in the limbic brain and positive affirmations are our rational brain but when your negative core beliefs come from an inner critic with is basically your mother's voice and that voice is cruel and overall repetitive, there's a fight between your limbic system and your rational system so, I can say to myself: I'm ok, I'm good enough in a certain moment can be very calming and reassuring but I realized I can't stand a meditation which is being repetitive; it triggers my limbic system and I think is due to the way my mother repeated whatever she was trying to get. She's the kind of person that you have to stop whatever you are doing and do whatever she wanted in order to get some kind of peace because you know you won't be able to do anything at all. For me it was impossible to evade her or ignore her even in my adult years. I can stand easily someone repeating something but three times in a row, makes me angry. It's very mind intrusive and that's why I think affirmations don't work well if they are too reiterative. It's different if I use it with some intervals during the day. Well, that's my theory; my limbic brain rebels because it's the same tactic that was used to create those negative beliefs so, it doesn't matter if they are positive because is the repetition that makes me icky besides my limbic brain saying: "that's not what I was told, you are lying, you are not good enough".
I'm not sure of your age, but I understand the mom energy. Set your boundaries even for your mom. I had to because if not, history would have continued to repeat. I wanted healing of the mind, body, and soul. The day I did, OMG! I dropped so much emotional weight. I've learned to invest in me. Meditation is another avenue I've chosen to use to re-train my thoughts of me, that had been taught to me from childhood and those thoughts made me an angry teen and more angry adult. My thoughts I allowed to be played over and over in my spirit I decided I'm not bad, unworthy, ugly, etc. Therapy has also helped me.
@@pamelascott3184 Fifty five years of torture. Went no contact. Probably too late because this is no joke and the longer you stay the longer the healing process which you can't rush either. I need another life time to overcome the present one because I don't see the light ahead on the tunnel and I'm being patient with myself.
I don't believe saying that we are on a planet soaring through an enormous universe is helpful. It's like a bypass so you don't have to deal with what is happening. Not enough depth here for me, all love and light, pretty rainbows and unicorns.
And amazing, loving, helpful, caring, lady 😁 ❤
Gratitude for all your lovely guidance 🙏
You've really helped me!
Coincidence? I am living in Switzerland, and hiking in the mountains, seeing, smelling and hearing nature's beauty, is one of the joys of my life
How lovely!

What if my core beliefs about the way people treat me are true?
Core beliefs are phrased with “absolutes.” Always and nevers and I am… (labeling). These absolutes are really never true.
