The Luella Jonk Show

In today’s episode, I speak on the importance of building trust in a relationship. Trust needs to be well established at the beginning of the relationship. No one person should feel they need to become their own private investigator when it comes to spying on their partner, going through their phone chat conversations and surfing their web browser history. I explain how trust first begins with a conversation with yourself. How you ‘trust yourself’ to take yourself through these proactive conversations.  A conversation that communicates your standards and values and how you establish your boundaries in alignment with these standards.     Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-think-i-can/id1597470839

Today we get to talk all about connection; connection with ourselves and connection to all life around us. This talk reminds us that we are all part of a greater meaning. However, we need to be open to it. When we open ourselves to possibility, synchronicity, and meaningful coincidences, we open our view of what it means to be human.   Dr. Yvonne Smith Tarnas is a Jungian Analyst, who works with patients in deepening their connection with themselves and their lives. This process engages with the daily life, the dream life, and imaginal qualities held in the life including the dualities of both hope and dread.   Yvonne’s aim as a licensed psychotherapist is to deepen one's connection not only with themselves but to that of their loved ones, their life, and with the Jungian sense of the "Self" within and without.    Relevant Links | Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-think-i-can/id1597470839 http://archetypalpsych.com/

What is it about you that no one else gets? Why are you worthy of love? What is it about you that makes you so unique and special? This episode is about your ability to own your truth, your personal power, and your belief in yourself. The ability to know with incredible conviction and certainty that you were always The One; that special snowflake. Everything that makes another person complete. The goal of this episode is for you to have the ability to move towards this type of self-love a bit more, every single day from the time you listen to this to eternity. Perhaps you might even use it as a guided meditation for those really hard days. Enjoy.   Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/core-offer/?fbclid=IwAR1b9cd-AX8i-YPdmJEdO23eXURW774ca9yA3A2fFhIgPE4XWIhIq8N6NRA https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-think-i-can/id1597470839

Daniel Z. Lieberman, MD is a clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at George Washington University. He is a sought-after speaker and shares his expertise on the neurobiological basis of human behavior as a frequent guest on radio, television, and podcasts. He is a TEDx speaker and appeared on CNN multiple times and on ABC news. Dr. Lieberman co-authored "The Molecule of More" - an international bestseller that’s been translated into 20 languages. In this book, Dr. Lieberman explains why does love change so quickly from passion to indifference? Why do we desire something so strongly only so that when we get it, we want something more? He is also the author of "Spellbound: Modern Science, Ancient Magic, and the Hidden Potential of the Unconscious Mind" which is a fascinating read. Your unconscious can make you compassionate or fill you with hatred. It chooses what you desire, your dreams, what triggers you, and who you will fall in love with. It can solve seemingly impossible problems with the gift of inspiration, and, sometimes, it possesses you completely, plunging you into an alien world of mystical experience.

Culturally we are taught from a young age to find a partner who can take care of you well. This might refer to someone with a stable career, a good parent, someone who can perhaps cook, mend a sock, fix a faucet, goes to church, and doesn’t physically harm you. But what if it really doesn't have to do with any of those OBVIOUS qualities or characteristics? What if it was, instead, all the little things that make the difference in whether your relationship has sustenance? What if all the small things often are the glue that keeps the relationship held in place? What if? What if it was the fact that you both love to talk about advocating for a specific cause or the way they make you crack up with their stupid off-the-wall humor? What if it was the classy way she dresses or how he looks in a T-shirt and jeans, how she plays with the children, and how he plays hockey? What if?   Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/core-offer/?fbclid=IwAR1b9cd-AX8i-YPdmJEdO23eXURW774ca9yA3A2fFhIgPE4XWIhIq8N6NRA https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-think-i-can/id1597470839  

Today I interview Dr. Beitman, a psychiatrist turned researcher and author of Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen. Today’s talk focused on how we all experience meaningful coincidences, serendipity, and synchronicity if we care to notice them.   There was so much about this discussion I loved; everything from listening to Bernard’s description of how his deep love for a pet and his father paved the path towards him writing this book, to his description of the psychosphere as a means of human connection, to our discussion of the importance of belief, faith, and trust especially as it relates to the phrase "all things happen for a reason" and how those going through deep grief may find peace and solace in this knowing.   You will find more of his essays on Psychology Today’s blog site. See one of his articles below as well as other important links to his work.     If you enjoy the I Think, I Can Podcast, I’d love for you to subscribe, rate, and give a review on Apple Podcasts.

This is the first episode where I invite three of my clients to speak about how they separated themselves from emotional, and for some, physically abusive relationships. There were commonalities in these relationships including the need for control and the lack of responsibility their spouses took in order to look inside themselves and their contributions towards the break-up.  I congratulate these women on their courage to stand up for what is right for themselves and their children and to tell their stories in the hope to help others who have found themselves in similar situations.  Let me know if you enjoy this type of content with a dm or comment on social media.
