On this week’s episode of Crushing Doubt, Julie and Dan explore doubt as it relates to raising kids and what we show them about their own ability to trust themselves and their perceptions. The doubts that arise in parents and children alike can be a powerful force and awareness of these issues can help us make choices that honor who we are.
Dan interviews Byron Jackson, former NFL player, documentary filmmaker, and the founder of Sports Rhythms, an organization that is based on his principles of training young athletes to not only be good players, but good people. The two discuss Byron’s focused athletic efforts, making it to the NFL, himself, and playing a large role in helping his younger brother, DeSean Jackson, not only make it to the NFL but thrive as a three time All Pro with the Philadelphia Eagles. This interview captures aspects of how adversity can foster values to propel people to become their most powerful selves. Check out the story of how Byron came to see life as he does and why he has devoted his life to making a positive impact on as many young people as he can.
The podcast closes as Julie and Dan discuss the power Column in his treatment -- along with doubt, another major distinguishing factor between his work and that of many other mind body practitioners. The power column, at its essence, relates to how comfortable a relationship you have between what you wish could be true and what actually is and how to make the two better align to your wishes. This is true in your relationship to who you are, how powerful you feel in your relationships, and whether you feel you can control your symptoms or whether THEY control YOU. Dan also considers questions from the viewing and listening audience, as he does everything he can to help patients resolve their doubt, understand their emotions, grow more personally powerful, and reduce or eradicate their symptoms.
