HOW TO WIN AGAINST LOSS...
Hello Stefan.
I have listened to you and your wonderful show on/off for years and enjoyed your insights and honesty. You have created a fantastic podcast, that I listen to very often, when I am doing monotonous, hard physical labor and need to let my mind work a bit also.
For that, thank you!
I have a question and would greatly appreciate your insight!
I am a male in my early thirties.
I have, for over a decade, struggled with quite debilitating pain in my back and neck, which would sometimes result in migraine-like pain in my head.
I have had a lot of test done, worked out regularly, talked to doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors, got X-ray and MRI, taken medication. But nothing have done the trick, until now.
The pain is becoming less and less of a problem, I have perhaps found out what the cause was. And now I am better that I have been for many years.
Problem is.
I am in my thirties, and feel like my twenties. The young, adventurous, forming years of my life, have been taken away from me. I didn’t get the education that I wanted. I didn’t get the experiences that I wanted. There’s a lot of things that I have missed out on, because of my physical pain - and mental despair and anxiety. Sometimes I have felt like a wounded animal - just getting by and make through another day was a success.
Despite all the hardship, I still managed to find the love of my live, and start a family. We have a beautiful 2-year old daughter, which fills me with pride and joy.
But, my problem is that: How do I reconcile with the fact that life in these crucial years haven’t been good, and how do I start to build up my self-esteem in regards to others my age that have achieved so much more, to get on with my professional life and pursue all the things that I so desperately have wanted for a long time.
Besides my family, I don't have a lot to show for my 30 years on this planet and I want that to change, sooner than later.
I hope you will read this on your show and I will definitely be listening.
Thank you and happy new years to you and your family.
(I have just signed up for Locals and will, of course also send a tip)

Why You Attack Yourself! Listener Question
In this episode, I examine the complexities of social anxiety linked to internalized critical voices from parents. Using a metaphor of facing a bully, I discuss how self-attack emerges as a defense mechanism against childhood abuse. I emphasize the need for open conversations with parents and the importance of therapy in navigating these issues.
I also propose reframing inner critics as protective forces rather than adversaries, advocating a healthier self-relationship. I conclude by outlining a tripartite approach to healing that involves addressing external criticism, reshaping our inner narratives, and fostering self-kindness, encouraging listeners to pursue their own paths to healing.
