The School of Greatness · The Childhood Question That's Secretly Running Your Life | Aaron Doughty · 27 Jul 2026 podcast

So instead of a survival mechanism of I need to get the nerves to go away, how can you be more present with the nerves?

And what I've learned is, especially when in a live event, if I can slow things down and be present and have more silences when I'm speaking, it's so much more powerful.

And through that energy is where the aliveness, the presence flows.

And that's been a game changer.

So I have these tools where I know that if I want to shift the energy of a room at all, I just have to slow down, be more present with what I'm feeling.

Pause, yeah.

Pause, accept the emotions.

But recognizing the nerves, it's like it's the ego's mind's way of trying to manage the situation.

I acknowledge that part of myself.

And then recognize that like one day, I'll probably miss that.

Because eventually, I'm sure the first time you were doing this podcast, there were nerves before certain guests that come on.

Now you've put in so many reps, it's probably kind of like what it's like, it's more normal, you know?

So yeah, so it's like I have a similar type way I relate to it.

Yeah, yeah, that's very spot on.

When you think of the rescuer dynamic, think of it like- The victim and the rescuer, right?

Yes, the victim, the rescuer, and the perpetrator, the triangle.

So what happens is the rescuer, it feels safer, it feels safer to be in the rescuer dynamic than to be in the victim dynamic.

So as a rescuer dynamic as a kid, you may have been trying to rescue mom and dad or your siblings, and you may have been trying to fix them.

And part of that was that was what you believed your role was.

So it may be coming from a past childhood energy where subconsciously, if I can fix mom and dad, I will then be whole and complete.
