Mental Prisons

Recent episodes

Tyler Patrick joins us as we delve into the nuanced distinction between shame and guilt and how these emotions impact our lives. Explore how the weight of secrets keeps us trapped, hindering personal growth and relationships. The power of vulnerability and shedding light on our hidden truths bring incredible liberation!

Shame, Guilt and Secrets

This week Kristi is on her own as we take a look at one of the most difficult but most important mental prisons—victimhood. Living in this prison is a paralyzing and powerless place to be. The key out of this prison is learning to accept and surrender to reality, and in the process becoming more self-aware, empowered, and resilient. Doesn’t that freedom sound amazing? Give this episode a listen for some help getting there.

What’s the honest truth about being nice? Find out with Kristi and Elizabeth Jaggi. These twin pitfalls of avoidance and rigidity keep us from living our most fulfilling lives. Let’s look at the roots and patterns and discover strategies to break free and embrace a life of growth and freedom.

Avoidance & Rigidity

Victimhood: The Blame Game

Book Review of “The Gift” by Edith Eger

We’ve already read and reviewed one of Dr. Edith Eger’s books, and “The Gift” is just as good. In her first book, “The Choice,” Dr. Eger tells her story of surviving the Holocaust and Auschwitz, as well as her experiences becoming and working as a psychologist. In contrast, this second book of hers is “a practical guide to help us identify our mental prisons and develop the tools we need to become free.” Join Kristi, Kaitlyn Howell, and Michelle Rasmussen in a review of this book that is chock-full of life-changing truths.

Resentment

Whether it's a minor disagreement or a significant betrayal, the sense of injustice can trigger feelings of resentment, leading to thoughts of bitterness and animosity towards the person or situation involved. This is a universal experience— a fundamental aspect of human nature that contributes to the development and expression of resentment across cultures and societies. Join guest Mark Jaggi as we delve into the complexities of resentment: its origins, its effects, and the transformative power of forgiveness.

Developmental Immaturity

Dr. Jill Manning is back on Do the Work to talk about developmental maturity. Dr. Manning is a successful licensed MFT specializing in sexual betrayal, and although developmental maturity plays a huge role in that area, it also affects each of us every day in big and small ways. Tune in to learn what developmental immaturity versus maturity look like, the key traits we’re born with, and the key issues that stem from all the big and little traumas that inevitably happen as we grow and develop.

Kristi’s approach

Creating a safe space that empowers you to experience joy, peace, and connection no matter the circumstances of your life. You matter. You always have and you always will. It’s time to believe it.

    Amy

  • Talking with Kristi has changed my life. I cannot express how thankful I am for her tools, her demeanor, her candor, her amazing advice, and her love. I have seen four or five therapists in the time I have talked to Kristi, and none have helped as much as her coaching has. She has changed the way I think about myself, my family, and the world. I would not be as happy as I am today without Kristi Reeves. Go see Kristi! You will not regret it.

I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who needs help communicating, standing up for themselves, and setting boundaries. She is the best of the best!
