In this week’s episode of the Radical Health Rebel podcast, I had an incredible conversation with fellow CHEK Practitioner, Greg Schmaus, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this one! We dove headfirst into the fascinating world of survival archetypes and their sneaky role in chronic pain and ill-health. 🧠💥
Ever felt like you’re stuck in a loop of pain or negative patterns? Greg and I unpacked how the Victim Archetype and The Saboteur can be the culprits behind it all. We also took a deep dive into the Victim Triangle and the often-overlooked concept of Secondary Gain from pain—it’s more common than you might think!
But that’s not all. Although it wasn’t planned, our discussion took a timely turn as we explored how these survival archetypes have been influencing people’s decision-making processes over the last four years. Spoiler alert: it’s eye-opening. 👁️
This episode was one of my absolute favorites, and I’m confident you’re going to get as much out of it as I did. So grab your headphones, settle in, and get ready for some serious insights!
