I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing. And immediately, the mask came off. You're supposed to be safe. That's your home. That's your husband.

So recently, I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with actress and producer Jamie Lee Curtis from Routines to Recovery, True Lies, and a certain Jermaine Jackson music video. Jamie's real and raw, and it's something I really admire about her.

120.502 - 144.37

He really has taught me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms, on different houses, in different places, but just an embracing of the is-ness of it all.

He identified Jermaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Jermaine was sentenced to 99 years imprisonment. I'm like, Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth. Until a confession changed everything. I was a monster.

But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one night stand and ended in a courtroom with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. Please search warrant. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young.

1235.822 - 1269.034

This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of he said, she said, and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. You know Roald Dahl, the writer who thought up Willy Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG. But did you know he was also a spy? Was this before he wrote his stories? It must have been.

1269.183 - 1287.715

Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roald Dahl, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans. What? And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either. Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you, the guy was a spy.

1288.538 - 1305.466

Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelts, played poker with Harry Truman, and had a long affair with a Congresswoman? And then he took his talents to Hollywood, where he worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock, before writing a hit James Bond film, How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever?

1305.847 - 1326.98

And what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids? The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to The Secret World of Roald Dahl on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So why can't we just lump our conscious and our unconscious together and call it a day? Like that's our mind. It just is what it is.

Chapter 3: How did ancient philosophers view the mind's duality?

1709.255 - 1731.707

Your unconscious mind is trained to respond to whatever you repeatedly experience, rehearse and emotionally encode, especially when it happens early, often or intensely. That is really how your unconscious mind is trained. early, often, or intensely, frequency, intensity, or the age at which it occurred.

0

1732.409 - 1747.816

A big aspect that impacts our unconscious mind is obviously, you may have guessed this, our early learnings, our family, our childhood experiences, even, and some would say this, experiences you had in the womb or generationally.

0

1748.717 - 1767.927

Literally, there is this idea called collective unconscious, which says that our deepest beliefs and our ways of seeing the world are spiritually inherited before we even are conscious beings. Your unconscious mind is being formed way before your conscious mind even catches up.

1767.907 - 1791.214

Whilst I think that's pretty hard to prove scientifically, and there is yet to be a lot of proof, scientific proof for it, we do know that you absorb the rules of your environment before you are consciously aware of them. Things like how love is shown, what happens when you're upset, whether mistakes when you were a child were punished or repaired,

1791.464 - 1812.038

Whether your needs were welcomed or inconvenient, whether you were bullied, how you were taught to behave, things that really traumatized you or excited you as a kid, they are what are creating the rules for your unconscious mind. And they become the template for how life works, how relationships work, how everything in the world works.

1812.018 - 1836.447

Even in adulthood, your body will keep running these childhood rules until you consciously update them. And this is why therapeutic tools like talk therapy or learning to reparent yourself or reprocessing or processing for the first time or trauma are so effective. These are the stuff that we're not necessarily aware of all the time. We kind of know it happens.

1836.487 - 1857.061

We don't really get the wounds that it's causing. And it's not until you really get in the trenches and dig deep, almost like an archaeologist, and you bring up this stuff with a professional that... you get yourself a bit more and you really understand what causes these patterns in your behavior.

1857.402 - 1879.116

So how can you recognize when your unconscious mind is really steering things in a way that isn't benefiting you? Because your unconscious mind is steering a lot. Some of it's great. We don't need to touch that. How do we figure out when we do? We do need to like do some of that. Again, archaeological digging. As Freud said, there will be signs.

1879.214 - 1898.837

It's probably not going to be dreams, though, or disturbing art or Freudian slips. That's probably not the only way. That's not the best way to get access to this. Instead, and I hate to say it, it's probably going to be the natural consequences of your actions and of your behavior. I wish we could interpret everything that was wrong with us unconsciously throughout dreams. It'd be a lot easier.

Chapter 4: What role did Freud play in understanding the unconscious mind?

2388.221 - 2411.959

I personally think one of the biggest signs of intelligence in somebody is choosing not just to accept your situation or learnt behavior for what it is. Choosing not just to say like, this is the way I am and this is how I've always been. So why do I have to change? But instead, taking action on behalf of your better self and on behalf of the person you want to be, even if you are not there yet.

2530.553 - 2545.189

In fact, research has shown, research has shown time and time again that one of the biggest signs of low mental flexibility and therefore low mental intelligence or emotional intelligence, I should say, is...

2545.169 - 2568.966

being unable to take accountability or see any issue with our own behavior that is not going to be us though that is not going to be us because we know we know what we're responsible for now we're going to change it recognizing ways you may be self-sabotaging is not a weakness most people will never do this in their entire lives so this is what we're going to do next

2568.946 - 2588.22

The first step, according to the incredible author, Brianna Weist, I think her name is Brianna Weist. You will know her, though. She wrote the book 101 Essays to Change the Way You Think. She also wrote The Pivot Year, The Mountain Is You. I think she has another book coming out, but...
