Unraveling Childhood Beliefs: A Journey of Healing with Accelerated Resolution Therapy

What happens when a long-held belief, rooted in childhood, is suddenly unraveled? Join us on this emotional journey as I recount my profound experience with Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) guided by the incredible Laurel Wiers. In a recent recording session for the Tuttle and Kline podcast, Tim and I delved into a candid discussion about how confronting a pivotal moment from my past has reshaped my self-perception. With Laurel Wiers’s expert guidance, I revisited a 13-year-old trauma, revealing the origins of self-doubt, and the constant feeling of inadequacy that shadowed me for decades. 

Discover how this transformative therapy not only brought clarity but also reignited passions I had long considered lost causes. My newfound perspective has allowed me to approach past challenges, like my perceived failure in Alaska, with compassion and hope. Laurel has not just been a therapist but a supportive friend throughout this journey, regularly checking in on my progress, and the impact of this bond has been life-changing. If you're seeking inspiration to overcome personal struggles, this heartfelt narrative offers a beacon of hope and the reassurance that change is indeed possible.

Hello and long time . No see , Not your fault , totally mine . This is going to be a really short episode . Okay , I'm working on a really really long episode to catch you up on everything that's been happening in my life . But when we were recording the Tuttle Cline podcast today , which will actually come out on Wednesday , the conversation took an unexpected turn . Today about therapy Uh , tim was actually talking about it and he asked me what the fuzzy Mike was going to be about this week , and I was going to make a lengthy episode about what I've been going through . Um , all good , by the way . All good , but I thought you know what . I'll just tell Tim a little bit about my recent therapy sessions and use this as a teaser . I hate that word , but use this as a kind of a bookmark to come back next week when I will have a lot more time to explain all of this and to talk about the actual process that I went through with my oh God , newfound savior I guess Laurel Wears . Anyway , this is what I was telling Tim in our episode that you'll be able to see in its entirety on Wednesday .

Speaker 1 1:20

I just met the therapist of all therapists and she made a massive breakthrough for me about four weeks ago and it's unbelievable , tim . Yeah , I guess it's , if you get the right one right . Yeah , oh , definitely You've got to find the right one for sure . I guess I was getting to see students . Oh , I've had therapists identify what the problem is , but they never knew how to fix it . Oh , now you got one that fixed it . It's done . Yeah , one session , I love it . So can you illuminate a little bit ? Or are you giving up her secret sauce or you don't want to delve into that ? I mean , no , this is what I'm going to talk about on the Pussy , mike mic . Her name is Laurel Weers and she is an expert in ART , which ART is a more rapid response to EMDR , which is eye movement and all that kind of stuff . Okay , but anyway , what we did was we used these little buzzer things in my hand . She's in Connecticut , so it was all remote . Do these little buzzer things in my hand ?

Speaker 1 2:24

And then we went to where the trauma started , which was when I was 13 . And my dad told me I'd never amount to anything . I use that for motivation my entire life . Okay , but never did I realize how bad it fucked me up . I didn't ever think it did . But , yeah , that was where all of my stress and all of my self-loathing and all of my lack of self-confidence came from was that statement . And so what we had to do was , as a 55 year old , I had to go back and hold the hand of the 13 year old and reconfront my dad in that scenario , in that situation Interesting , yeah , and , and it did , tim . And you remember how , uh , we even went to the Alaska thing , where Alaska was really the trigger .

Speaker 1 3:06

When I bottomed out and I couldn't go anymore in Alaska and I had to turn the backpack over to my friend Scott to finish the run with me , I really felt my dad saying you're a loser , and that that's , that's what hit me , that that caused me to shut down my entire life , and it was in the back of my mind , and so she brought that to the front . Tim , let me tell you something . I can look at a picture of my dad now and actually feel sorry . I can look at the trailer for Delivering Hope , my run in Alaska that I thought I failed at and want to do it again . Okay , that's good , tim . The last time I thought about killing myself was six , seven weeks ago . That's an all-time record Dude . It was every day . It was every day , I know , I know . Yeah .

Speaker 1 3:55

So Laurel Wears is freaking amazing man . She's awesome . And I made a friend too . She checks on me regularly , man , I am so happy that you got that breakthrough , kev . Well , yeah , I was seeing a therapist here that was $160 for an hour and I went 10 times and I wasn't . We identified the problem , but it wasn't getting any better . Laurel , my new consultant therapist was one session cheaper than $1,600 . And she's like you're done , you're clear Wow , that's so awesome . I said that's not a really good business model for you , laurel . And she goes I'm not in it for business model , I'm in it to help people . And she says , yeah , there's quite a few people out there that need help , so I'll be okay . Yeah , go from one to another , to another , to another , fix the world . Yeah , if you're that good as a therapist , fix the world . Uh-huh , and she's really . She's really good , beautiful lady too , super sweet , unbelievably cool .
