What About Complex-PTSD?

When you’ve suffered trauma, it can have a long term affect. Long-term trauma is different. In this episode, you can learn about the attributes, traits, and causes of C-PTSD to help you understand what may be lingering in your body/mind system, and what you can do about it. How you were raised creates the beliefs you hold about yourself, others, and the world. If you’ve had dysfunction and abuse in your early life, your views of these may be warped. You may experience heightened emotional distress, feel overwhelmed, anxious, helpless, or hopeless. Certainly, you can feel disempowered. Understand the undepinnings of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can uncover the places in your life that may have set you on a difficult path. When that happens in your family or origin, you can expect it to be highly likely that you’ll attract a difficult relationship, two or ten, into your adult life. It’s not what you want, but it’s what you know. You don’t do it on purpose, but it happens all the same.Often, that leads to feeling stuck. Then, you may also have difficulty controlling your emotions, or feel angry or distrustful towards the world. Maybe, you feel empty or hopeless.”Why is this happening to me? I’ve been a good, caring, giving person, and yet it’s never enough.” Have you had that thought? Or, have you become so exhausted from being worn down and torn down that you simply give up and give in? How about the feeling that you are completely different than other people, and nobody understands what’s happened to you. Or, do you avoid friendships and relationships, or at least, find them daunting and difficult? These things can be symptoms of C-PTSD, Complet Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Knowing what to look for can set you on a corrective path that can lead you to a healthier, happier life. Lean in and listen to see which, if any, of this episode can provide you with a new understanding of yourself, and your relationships.

Empaths – Embrace the Dance of Your Individuality

As a child you were the peacemaker, child servant, invisible child, the quiet one in your family. As a child you didn’t fit in with your family. They had an image of themselves that was developed and highly polished, especially if you had a narcissistic parent or narcissistic mother and father. 

Everything had to be perfect at all times including the children. You remember the strict routines, the multiple layers of external perfection, the grand show. The image was all that mattered: what you wore, your grades, schools you attended, important friends and contacts. This was emphasized. This is the false reality of the narcissistic family.

You are not part of your family’s fairy tale. You are not in the chorus – following the steps by rote. 

You choreograph your own dance. You dream it up, work it out and perform it. beautifully. You are a gifted soloist. 

Follow your intuitive wisdom and listen to the winds of your creativity.

Special Message to Empaths Married to High Level Narcissists II

Empaths are high ly perceptive, exquisitely sensitive individuals. They are attuned to their external and internal environments. Tehy feel deeply and are often misunderstood by spouses, family members and the world at large.

Empaths who are married or partnered with high level narcissists have a particularly difficult journey.

In this situation with a high level narcissist the empath is accumulating tremendous amounts of oxidative stress. 

Many of you grew up as children of a narcissistic parent or both mother and father. Demands and reprimands were daily occurrences. Narcissistic mother and fathers gave you the message that you didn’t and couldn’t measure up to lowest expectations. You felt irredeemably flawed. For making great efforts to obtain any real attention, warmth, attachment, acceptance never work. You were looked upon with scorn and disgust. No one in your family understood you. 

Married to a high level narcissist you are at the mercy of their recriminations, criticisms, projections.  There is a time of awakening when you can no longer tolerate being controlled by the high level narcissist. 

You come to a time of awakening, an opening to your authentic original self. You practice self care, explore your creativity, learn to access the calming, parasympathetic body/mind systems.  I give you so much credit for restoring your original sense of self and now stand tall: grounded, gifted, going strong.

“Becoming a Human Optimized” with Aurimas Juodka on Negotiate Your Best Life with Rebecca Zung #282

How can you go from being a sickly child raised in less than ideal conditions to one of the most sought after business and personal coaches in the world?  You become a human optimized!   Aurimas “AJ” Juodka shares how he went from humble beginnings to learning how to apply NLP and the 4 Pillars of High Performance to create real sustainable habits in his life, and how you can too.  Listen to his inspirational story and find out how you can overcome narcissists, adversity, toxic relationships, bad eating habits, unhealthy lifestyles, financial woes and more by simply applying his step by step guidance.   

More About Aurimas “A.J.” Juodka

In a nutshell, I identify inefficiencies in humans and optimize them by taking an interdisciplinary, Minimal Effective Dose, scientific approach. We address the 4 Pillars of High Performance – Biology, Leadership, Efficiency, Mindset through forming sustainable habits, while doubling down on the areas that are the most pertinent to your situation!

I’m an educator, speaker and coach (certified strength and conditioning specialist, high performance coach, certified nutrition coach, NLP Master Practitioner, former athlete) and I’ve helped hundreds of my clients to excel in life physically and mentally.

My interest in optimization and human performance started when I was rising from the ashes of serious health struggles; borderline insomniac, mental fog, low energy, destroyed gut microbiome, digestion problems, feeble immune system, I decided to stop listening to modern-day traditional doctors and crack the health code myself. After going down a rabbit hole of self-experimentation I transformed myself on every level and my lessons have been featured in GQ, Disrupt Magazine, Influencive, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Lifestyle, and other media outlets.

Upon addressing my health issues, I realized that there’s more to optimize – the complex human mind. I started studying subconscious patterns through NLP, hypnosis, EMDR, and behavioral psychology and built out a Human Optimization Coaching program that is based on a multidisciplinary approach.

I’ve spent the last decade in the trenches slowly unpacking the pillars of high performance, participating in anti-aging medicine, biohacking, alternative medicine, high performance, and wellness conferences.

Through my online programs, retreats, and speaking engagements I continue to help a wide range of private and corporate clients around the world experience unbelievable breakthroughs, shifts, and transformations in their health, vitality, mental and physical performance.    Check out his website right here:  https://humanoptimized.co/

That Infernal Noise Ep. 10 – As Honest As I Have Ever Been

In this episode as the title implies, I am more honest than I have ever been. You get an unfiltered look into my mind and my thoughts of men’s mental health and the perception of being weak in discussing emotions. I also discuss the suicidal thoughts I have, some of the motivations for them and my reasons for still being here.

I apologize to anyone that may find this a sensitive subject but I feel that all too often these thoughts are downplayed, if not just outright ignored and that inevitably leads to a increase in suicide rates. My goal is to create a dialogue and let everyone know you are not alone, you can talk about it and you are not weak if you seek help.
