John Bradshaw talks about how culture forces you to create a false identity, and how to reclaim your original genuine self. - video upload powered by www.TunesToTub...
John was eclectic now it’s time to watch him and be eclectic with current information. I went to live workshops and Homecoming groups with John, so inspirational and energetic. Who’s looking at this during 2020?
A true pioneer. This man opened up a whole New World of healing for me back in the late 1980s, which is still powerful in my inner world today. Love this man!
I miss this man. I started my career as a social worker under his teachings. He was ahead of his time in terms of his understanding of trauma and addiction.
He helped me in my teenage years more than I could have ever imagined at the time. He followed my after school yoga program on PBS and I caught his show by default. Luckily for me my subconscious was Pocking up his wisdom.
I think today we've gone backward in some ways. I remember when there were many people in therapy and various 12-step programs reading Bradshaw, as well as Melody Beattie and (less frequently) Alice Miller. Some of them became social workers, counselors, and therapists.
Thank you so much for posting John Bradshaw’s videos. How relevant to our times and life in general. I am aware of many authors on spirituality, trauma and healing but none with the depth of understanding and ease of communication, as he, to make this material accessible and give the viewer exercises they can do without a therapist. If only U tube had been around in his prime! I long to see these ideas integrated into mainstream mental health treatment and recovery.
Pamela D I so agree with you. After searching and researching in order to heal myself in the most obvious places for years I have found John Bradshaw through my wonderful psychologist. I am truly blessed.
I agree a recommend everyone who likes the videos to listen to all his books on Amazon audible, literally changed my life and made sense of my family and struggle to become an adult
I have been listening to John for about 40 years or since I was about 14 years old. I am have always been fascinated by human behavior since I was young child. I just never understood why people did why they did. But was I hiding in plane sight watching it all. Even to this day I see all whom are broken. Thus not shame them because we are trying to survive this thing called...life.
My new therapist asked me to get the book, “Healing the Shame that Binds”. I had some of John Bradshaw’s books from a long time ago, but couldn’t do the work. Ordered a new copy. But this-- I lost poetry ( writing) through experiences of parental control in my 40s after my breakup of a 20 year relationship. My creativity had come back through some psychiatric intervention ( medication) so I could quit drinking. Then it was re-taken. Yet to re-Cover. But the poems are here with, and as part of the healing. I feel like I will be coming home. Thank you and Thank you Richard for bringing me back to John Bradshaw.
John Bradshaw- a Godsend whose HOMECOMING series on PBS saved my life as a young adult. Championing my inner child empowered me to break through, break away and start living a life that was then open to happiness. 😘 I bless his spirit wherever it is in the afterlife. Teachers teach and counselors give counsel... so I have little doubt he is yet counseling errant souls to breakthrough into THE LIGHT 💡
A heard a preacher called it living in smallville. Afraid to own our space, goals, dreams just to play it safe and small. I've been there my whole life.
The most basic existential anxiety comes from the following fact: All throughout Western culture, due to science's influence on our worldview, the subject--the person in the meat suit--is counted as a mere fiction among a world of facts, a world of impersonal "objects," which are counted as the touchstone of truth. I believe we suffer from an unconscious scorn of everything produced by the subjective person: our beliefs, fantasies, thoughts, opinions, patterns of behavior, dreams, life choices, etc. The predominance of the scientific worldview, into which we are all educated and psychologically moulded from our earliest age, has an inborn scorn for the subject, the person, an inner truth that is experienced by each person as a shameful thing that must be hidden from view. Our anxiety thus comes from the fear of being exposed to someone's view and judged as a useless, worthless fiction. I've developed this theory after studying a lot of CG Jung and debating a couple atheist friends on FB--friends who cling to the scientific method as being the ultimate measure of all truth. Science is great for certain things. However, it has limits that we must observe if we are to enjoy life. Every great light casts an equally great shadow. The shadow of science is its emphasis on an outer directed focus, seeing truth as existing only in material objects external to oneself. I think the most effective treatment for our existential anxiety, therefore, is to temper this outer directed notion of truth, allowing our authentic, inner, hidden self to come into public view. The technique of confession has been used in religion and psychotherapy for millennia to relieve this anxiety, this internal pressure to hide, by allowing the truth of oneself to emerge.
Carl Jung “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” There are so, so many extraneous factors that mold us into who we are: parents, friends, classmates, colleagues, bosses, church (if one attends)/religion, thoughts, and beliefs. It is a lifetime of work to truly be our ‘True Self.’
I've often mistaken the "hole inside of me" with the "splinter in my mind" mentioned in the Matrix movie, which lead me down the path of spiritual bypass.
Some of the most saddest and most traumatic moments in my life have been when therapists or psychiatrists have dumped me (usually because they don't think they can help me). I feel shame that I'm watching this and not working, and I don't even need to work today! This was very insightful, but not helpful unless you are a parent. It's not enough to open up to people and ask for help and support and admit you have problems and express your needs and emotions. I've been doing that for almost 20 years, and I'm just as bound by shame as ever. Either I'm not doing it right, or something's physically wrong with my brain. It's gonna be suicide soon, but for now I'm happy to respond
I understand your situation. I'm 43. I have unresolved childhood issues. I've had many bouts of major depression and attempts at suicide in my 20s. I tried counseling years ago but never stuck to it and in hindsight I maybe wasn't ready. I ended up going into psychiatric hospitals. Which shames me more. It hurts that part of my life big time. But I find myself today at this moment realising I need to revisit the option of finding a compassionate counselor and sticking with it. I am so scared of the feelings I may have to feel. Etc. I do want to confront this aspect of my life but have no choice either because one day I may not have the strength anymore. I hope you are okay. I hope you find much strength and courage to heal. To keep having hope and faith in yourself and your highest self, or ANGELS etc. I hope you don't mind me opening up to you. But I related. Best wishes. 🌸💜🌸💜
Try to connect to your higher power, God, whatever words you use. Its there. Try to become present in your body if you can. Slow down and just focus on any part of your body. There is a light inside of you that will always shine. It will heal you. Try to acees it. Im sending you some of my light. Its in you too.
@@jodijohnson8819 Thanks, your message gave me a moment of hope today. I guess I have unresolved childhood issues, but I've only the most vague idea of what they are. And I'm dying to feel something scary.
Bradshaw has changed my life. My journey hasn’t been linear but his work on shame was a major unlock for me. That was a year ago and now I’m coming back to his work. This breakthrough came from imagining my inner child following me around being very adoring and impressed and reaffirming with me. I got it backwards I think but it feels wonderful!!
John’s teachings and talks are more relevant now than ever before! His unshakeable strength, vast experiences of life and indestructible hope, lives on. So glad you came our way.
I have been working closely w my sponsors in Coda. I have been referred to him by my sponsor and my counselor. I love John Bradshaw as well as Pia Melody.
I never ask anyone how they are doing because the odds are they will lie. If I want to know how they are. I just don't shame them and wait patiently for them to show me.
Considering that abuse causes physical changes (damage) to your brain and nervous system, that's not really true. You can work on healing it, but to say "we can always control how we react" is not true.
I used to think like you did. Then I attended a 9 month multiple weekend program with several intuitives and a couple of extraordinary people that could just see into me once I gave permission. Zero ego. Not fakable
@@JamieMurdock90 it’s all real, but it will lead you astray. I went down this road for 15 years. The honeymoon wears off after a couple of years and then it gets weird and confusing. New Age/ occult isn’t what it seems, it’s a trap.

Today in 2022 & ever thankful

2023. Read him in the late 80s and early 90s.

A pioneer. He answered his call; so glad he did.
A true pioneer. This man opened up a whole New World of healing for me back in the late 1980s, which is still powerful in my inner world today. Love this man!
I love John Bradshaw. He opened me up to understand my childhood was effed up.
Most people in the World have a Shame Based Childhood.
I miss this man. I started my career as a social worker under his teachings. He was ahead of his time in terms of his understanding of trauma and addiction.
He sure was!
He helped me in my teenage years more than I could have ever imagined at the time. He followed my after school yoga program on PBS and I caught his show by default. Luckily for me my subconscious was Pocking up his wisdom.
He should NEVER have been supplanted by The Next Big Thing, whatever that was.

I like in him that he is not some new age guy and just uses common sense.
I agree. He has a way to convey his message easily. To where you can understand. I suggest research Pia Mellody
I have been listening to John for about 40 years or since I was about 14 years old.
I am have always been fascinated by human behavior since I was young child. I just never understood why people did why they did.

Just study Buddhas life. There is a book about him of famous ZEN-master Osho . . .
Me too🙏

I first time I saw JB was around 1984 on a PBS channel. I was only 13 yrs old.

Just WORK on it ! H A R D !!!

Where can I finde his work on shame?

Wooow. Thank God. There is help.
I am getting to know me more and more.
I have been working closely w my sponsors in Coda. I have been referred to him by my sponsor and my counselor. I love John Bradshaw as well as Pia Melody.
my recovery changed in two fellowships due to this guy
bless you John,i find myself within here.
I listened to Bradshaw back in the 90s. Glad to see him here on TH-cam.
Started my new journey of recovery in life after being introduced to Bradshaw through a very kind old lady.
Sounds like Sri Krishna in the Bagava Ghita
I never ask anyone how they are doing because the odds are they will lie.
If I want to know how they are. I just don't shame them and wait patiently for them to show me.
Yes, we have access to a super-conscious mind. 4:30
We can't control what happens to us. But we can always control how we react.
That’s also a complete lie
Considering that abuse causes physical changes (damage) to your brain and nervous system, that's not really true. You can work on healing it, but to say "we can always control how we react" is not true.

Great talk

Does anyone know who is this jack something that Bradshaw mentions in the video?
Schwartz
17:00 ya know
The greates I wish he was alive
Thank you john

I didn’t realize he believed so much nonsense. His books are great, but I’m now super disappointed.
I used to think like you did. Then I attended a 9 month multiple weekend program with several intuitives and a couple of extraordinary people that could just see into me once I gave permission. Zero ego. Not fakable
I thought he was Christian, but he is talking about lot of New Age/ occult in this video. Disappointing indeed.

I did a search on multiple search engines for jack swarth. nothing came up. someone can you please direct me to more resources about him thank you.

It is Jack Schwartz..on TH-cam
