Easy Way Out

By: John Oakes
  • Summary

  • When you find yourself in the fight of your life... When you wake up in hell... Trapped in a mental prison that no one else can see... there are no bonus points awarded for difficulty. There is no such thing as perfection. Only escape. Freedom. Any voice telling you you're not allowed to take the path of least resistance out of hell is not a voice invested in your freedom, but in your confinement. Always, Always, always take the Easy Way Out. This podcast is about transforming your life from the inside out. Trauma recovery. Healing. Success. Relationships. Career. Rebuilding self-trust and love. It primarily uses weight loss as the proving ground, but the concepts shared in this show carry to practically every aspect of life.

  • "Too Good to Be True"⎮ How Trauma Is Causing You to Reject the Best Things in Life
    May 31 2024

    Need help? Shoot me a text!

    In this episode, John tackles one of the greatest tragedies of unhealed trauma: the fact that it causes us to vehemently reject good things in life.

    • Why, every day, millions of people actively reject opportunity, money, and caring relationships.
    • How childhood trauma creates a false frame of reference that warps adult judgment.
    • How this warped judgment causes good people to reject good things.
    • Why people get scared when they near a genuine opportunity for change.
    • Why we distract from the misery of our lives (and not just to avoid misery)
    • How this phenomenon forms a negative feedback loop that traps us
    • How we can slowly but surely free ourselves from this trap
    • How we can expand the possibilities for our lives by identifying and dismantling this malformed aspect of the psyche.

    Long term weight loss is a campaign, not a single battle. We'd love for the journey to be all success and rainbows, but it usually isn't. If your mental health issues have caused your weight problem, then chances are, they will flare up at some point, putting your progress in serious jeopardy.

    Today, I'm going to share with you a way of living that helps me avoid weight regain even when I am doing poorly and going off the rails.

  • How to Respond to Your Darkest Thoughts and Feelings
    May 23 2024

    Need help? Shoot me a text!

    We all have dark thoughts sometimes, but if you have trauma or severe mental health issues, these thoughts can be WAY darker and stronger. Usually, you are taught to just white-knuckle through it, but there is an approach to dealing with dark thoughts that will not only help you stay safe and unharmed but help you move toward deeper healing.

    You can learn to see these difficult thoughts and emotions as a doorway into healing rather than merely as a liability or threat to your wellbeing.

    Do you need to heal so you can lose weight? Emotional eater? Unmotivated? Join my free community full of courses, support and interaction with me.
