00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:14.439

authentic and real ways. So we're

guest. Here. I have with me
22
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.719
the excellent Kimney Seltzer, who's going
to talk to me about, you know,
23
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.280
interpersonal trust building relationship. She's an
X therapist turned dating strategist, coach,
24
00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.519
podcast host so right up my alley, and author and nationally recognized speakers.
25
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.200
So she hosts two shows. One
is on hiatus right now, but
26
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.599
the Charisma Quotient Show, as well
as Dating Irl, which is on hold
27
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:13.439
right now, but I believe there's
a couple of episodes up there. So
28
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.400
Jimmy, thank you for joining me. I appreciate having you here, thank
29
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:22.360
you, and I love that I'm
your first guest. Yes, and in
30
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.520
episode five, I'm churning new territory
with this show. So it's awesome and
31
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:31.280
I'm still going to sprinkle together the
solo shows with occasional guests that are relevant
32
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:37.439
to the trust factor topic to try
and bring you a little bit deeper insights
33
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.280
than maybe even I can bring to
the topic. So I don't have the
34
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:46.159
answers to everything. So it's pretty
close though around well, I try.
35
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.080
I've been around long enough to experience
a lot of different situations. But bring
36
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:54.000
on experts like him is really key
to giving this show the depth and the
37
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:59.520
scope that it needs to have to
really help you and help what you're doing.
38
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.840
So let's just start off and talking
about trust. Let's just share your
39
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:09.159
thought at this point about how important
trust is in dating relationships from your own
40
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.560
experience and what does that look like, How's it built, and how's it
41
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.479
express. I know that's a mouthful
to start out with, but if you
42
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.719
can kind of summarize it, I
think it would be really helpful. Oh,
43
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.000
my guy and I have so many
ways to answer, and yes,
44
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:23.960
there are a lot of layers there. And because the truth is, and
45
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:29.800
you really honed in on like what
trust means for me, it all really
46
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.159
kind of started with my story.
Because the thing is is, yes,
47
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.639
semi trained therapist and I've helped people
for many, many years and trust has
48
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:42.719
always been like a big factor when
it comes to communication and relationships and creaking
49
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:47.120
patterns and all of those things.
And I had my own story, it
50
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:53.759
happened to me that I mean completely
broke trust and everything that I knew,
51
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:59.879
and I really from a personal standpoint, had to rebuild that first in my
52
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.120
self and then with others to fundamentally
understand it. Like you you know,
53
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:09.000
you're on my podcast and we were
talking about that, like until you understand
54
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.719
the other side and really been through
it is when you really feel it and
55
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.000
see it and hopefully break those patterns. And I don't know if you want
56
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.920
me to go into my story.
I think it's kind of like an interesting
57
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:24.199
part of our discussion. But to
answer your question first so we can circle
58
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.759
back, Trust is I think the
most fundamental thing to have when it comes
59
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.759
to building a healthy relationship, quite
honestly, because you could have a lot
60
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:40.160
of different things going on that is
beneficial in a relationship, Like you could
61
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.439
have great sex, you could have
compatibility and ways of things that you like
62
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.279
to do together. You could even
see eye to eye with like money and
63
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.040
all of things that are important when
it comes to relationship. But all of
64
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:58.000
that is really nothing if you don't
have trust, and so it's the fundamental
65
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.720
thing that you need in a relationship
and ship. And what you and I
66
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:05.439
were talking about too on my podcast
is that how intertwined trust is with confidence
67
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.120
because you know, if you're in
a place in your life with a relationship
68
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:15.560
or other things, it's hard to
have like also that authentic relationship, that
69
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.759
trustworthy relationship, and it really can
knock down your own confidence in yourself.
70
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:26.160
So there's again like there's so many
layers to this thing. So yeah,
71
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:29.040
I mean, I don't know where
you want to go with it. There's
72
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:30.399
a lot of twists and turns in
this. Well. Also, you know,
73
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:35.480
trust can influence the quality of any
relationship that you have too. So
74
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:42.399
trust getting into a relationship and trust
and the ongoing relationship with another party can
75
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.079
really have an impact on the longevity
of that particular relationship too, and the
76
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:51.680
direction that it goes and the depths
that it goes or for the exit direction
77
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.920
that goes. So talk about that
a little bit too. Is is that
78
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:00.319
the trust factor that comes into quality
and longevity too? Well, Yeah,
79
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.560
because you know, let's say that
you do have trust issues, You've been
80
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:08.079
hurt and so the walls go up
and now you're moving forward, trying to
81
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.199
attract a new relationship, and in
your mind you're thinking, all right,
82
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.519
I'm going to attract something different this
time around. But you're also scared at
83
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.240
the same time, So you're you're
worried about kind of being vulnerable and sharing
84
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:26.600
things about yourself, and so the
very thing that you're hoping to have,
85
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:31.480
you're also fearing. And so you're
caught in this like double bind almost and
86
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.959
you know, I call it the
tug of war within because you'll say,
87
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:42.199
why, I want something that's really
trustworthy, but then you're not trusting and
88
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.319
so maybe like the longevity is affected, right because maybe you just like start
89
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:51.800
a relationship really surfacing and you're just
talking about safe topics, or maybe you're
90
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.399
deflecting and you're asking that person lots
of questions, you know, because it's
91
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.639
safer. Well, in the end, it's going to crash and burn,
92
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.839
because because now you set up a
precedent for a relationship that's lopsided, where
93
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:09.279
the focus is all on the other
person and not on you, and so
94
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.639
those can crash and burn, right, And then if there's a lot of
95
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.079
balance of an exchange that happens and
it's really lopsided. It's one thing we
96
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:21.279
didn't talk about in your interview is
these type of relationships are kind of can
97
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:27.439
develop into one sided type of relationships. Granted, trust can be eroded in
98
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.600
those kind of dynamics too. When
it's not a balanced trust based relationship.
99
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.399
You know, that can be a
resentment that builds up. And we're getting
100
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:39.079
into psychology topics here a little bit. I mean, I think it's important
101
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:44.360
too to also think about the early
stages too, of dating or any kind
102
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:48.560
of a relationship. Really is how
you get through that early stage of like
103
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:53.680
you said, walls going up and
people being scared to take a risk or
104
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:59.839
to not to know how far to
jump in or disclose too much too fast
105
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.839
and frighten this other person away or
something right, oh my gosh. Yeah,
106
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.199
And it shows up in ways that
sometimes you don't even realize, you
107
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:13.480
know. I do these dating retreat
programs, and one of the classes that
108
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.560
I have is getting over your dating
fears. And there's kind of five top
109
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.199
dating fears, and you know,
like one is fear of rejection and the
110
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.120
other one is fear of abandonment.
Like we all have these like core fears
111
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:31.319
that also correlate with the trust,
right, But then when we have a
112
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.919
relationship that makes that fear true,
that just again adds to that fear and
113
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.679
the quality relationship. Like I had
people come to me all the time it's
114
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:46.519
like, oh, you know,
all I see are unavailable, emotionally unavailable
115
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.759
mint and my question is always back
to them after doing a little deep dive,
116
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.000
Well, how emotionally available are you? Right? I mean, and
117
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.000
what is I mean, let's talk
about this. What is an emotionally unava
118
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.480
hoable person? Right? Is it
just a person that that just can't trust
119
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.159
anything? I mean, how far
down that rabbit hole does that go if
120
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.440
a person just feels that way?
Yeah, I mean we could get like
121
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:18.559
really into psychobabble here. It probably
well too so well we already are they
122
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.279
um, But that's how I roll. And I liked to have fun with
123
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.639
it too, just to kind of
put it in layman's terms that it can
124
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.519
go pretty deep. Like I mean
to the fact where guy was working with
125
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.200
a client, for instance, I'll
just give you like a because I like
126
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.279
talking in stories. It just makes
sense where her she grew up with a
127
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.799
father who was emotionally unavailable, and
he had some narcissistic tendency. So lo
128
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:45.879
and behold, she kept attracting those
kind of guys in her life. Now
129
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:46.799
you think, does that happened?
I mean, how do you keep a
130
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:52.240
trying is it? Because that's what
you're looking for, those kind of characteristics.
131
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.360
Just okay, I'm going to use
a psychological term on you. Just
132
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.240
with just one, maybe maybe there'll
be two. And here there's a principle
133
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:05.080
called the familiar charity principle, meaning
that our brain has a funny It's like
134
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.320
a computer. We always default back
to what we know good, batter and
135
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.279
different. And so if you grew
up in that kind of home where a
136
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.600
father was emotionally distant and I'll define
that in a second, but it's familiar
137
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:24.120
to you, so then you attract
people who has that similar feel And it's
138
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.039
the brain's way of trying to have
a corrective experience. I used too,
139
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.679
an experience that feels like okay,
I can work through this, like this
140
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.320
time it's going to be different.
But in the end, it's the same
141
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.679
guy, different costume, as I
always say it, and people are left
142
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.080
with why did I get here?
And so that's where the real work comes
143
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.159
in, because the truth of the
matter is you can't change other people like
144
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.000
she couldn't change those guys. She
was going to keep encountering them. She
145
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.480
was going to be attracted to them. The work came from within, and
146
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.000
when you change things about yourself,
that's when you get a different result,
147
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.639
because that's how you have control over
right, I forgot said so many times
148
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:11.279
that people attract what they're familiar with
based on how they were raised, especially
149
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.799
women. They tend to attract to
other guys that are familiar to them based
150
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.600
on maybe what they experienced with their
father or something like that. And if
151
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.120
they had a good relationship with their
father, I guess it could be bad
152
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.600
too, but that's what they tend
to gravitate to her. I've always been
153
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.279
fascinated by, well, how does
a person find that whilst relationships start from
154
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.559
a two person kind of being attracted
to each other, so there must be
155
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.960
characteristics of that that bring people together. Those are commonalities and interest right.
156
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:46.679
It's just fascinating to me that people
will gravitate towards relationships with people that have
157
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.399
proven to be bad kind of connections
for them in the past, but they
158
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.639
keep going back to them over overgain
Well, it is, and it's like
159
00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:00.240
a groundhog day, you know,
letter set out works right and even Yeah,
160
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.559
and actually it's it's not just women, it's it's men too, because
161
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.360
I work with loath men and and
we all have patterns that are recognizable if
162
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:11.679
you track all the way back in
time. And that's why, like,
163
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.399
when I work with people, I
like, I don't think there's a cookie
164
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.000
cutter approach one size fits all,
you know, when it comes to helping
165
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.159
people like overcome trust issues, because
to your point, like, we all
166
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.399
have our journeys and our stories that
shape us in different ways. So it's
167
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.960
like figuring out, well, what's
true for you and how can you go
168
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.320
about things a little bit differently?
So if you can think of it more
169
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:39.279
like, it's not like you're intentionally
seeking out unavailable people. It's like,
170
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.600
oh, there's one I think I'll
right exactly, that's the dysfunctional guy that
171
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.879
I was looking for. Right,
where have you van, I've been searching,
172
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.159
Hi, I'm drawing for you.
Here you are? No. I
173
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.759
mean, everyone goes in with good
intentions, But when I work with people,
174
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.440
I do something called data dating,
and they have to collect certain data
175
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.399
on people as they're dating with out
getting attached or into a relationship, so
176
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.279
they can really keep their eye on
the ball of certain patterns that they're getting
177
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.960
attracted to, you know, because
it starts from the minute you say hello.
178
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.600
It's so interesting because I always say, like, if you want to
179
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.440
change the story, you have to
go back to the script and change the
180
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.799
beginning of the story. So you
know, so let's say, like with
181
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.279
this woman, for instance, she
kept attracting unavailable people. That goes back
182
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.799
full circle to what we were talking
about trust, because she was so used
183
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.519
to not having a voice, not
sharing her feelings, doting on other people
184
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:37.320
because growing up she had to dote
on her father and try to get his
185
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:43.759
attention, and she basically was like
the caretaker, the dancing monkey, anything
186
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.399
to try to get his love.
Right, so when she meets a guy,
187
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.039
she's gonna lead with that, right, She's gonna lead with paying attention
188
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.919
to him, making him feel good, not not expressing what she needs,
189
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:00.960
not setting boundary. So we had
a reverse engineer that we say, well,
190
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.879
what if you showed up as Queen
Bee and you demanded more for yourself
191
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:05.480
and you express your needs and desires, and then you get to see if
192
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.639
he responds to that where she's like, why you know, that was like
193
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.600
so foreign to her, But that's
exactly why she kept finding herself with these
194
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.360
guys. So that's why I'm saying, like, when we talk about trust,
195
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.799
it's like that chicken and egg thing, like which comes first? Is
196
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.639
it you not trusting or the other
person not trusting you? It's it's both
197
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.559
because we're setting up dynamics, and
so all you can do is like shift
198
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:35.000
some things and first understand where the
trust issues come from and put strategies in
199
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.000
place to override them. It really
is like a computer. And that's why
200
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.399
nowadays I call myself an authentic dating
strategist more than a coach, more than
201
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.519
a therapist, because I just believe
as we get older, we just need
202
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:52.879
strategies to override bad habits. So
you're becoming a human artificial intelligent. I
203
00:14:52.960 --> 00:15:01.840
am, but I'm I'm much more
fun, I shall say. And I
204
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.960
also we're just really smart and savvy
these days. They think a lot of
205
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:11.159
people have done work on themselves and
they're just ready for the action step.
206
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.279
You know, I have a lot
of people come to me and say,
207
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.200
oh, I've been through therapy and
I've done the work. I'm like,
208
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.759
well, intellectually you have, but
have you put it into action? Correct?
209
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.360
I have you've done that? Yeah? Yeah, Because I mean I
210
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:28.159
think it's an interesting question what are
the practical steps that a person can take
211
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.399
to foster trust with others? But
it's like you've expressed here, it's just
212
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.840
so complicated. It's like, you
know, where do we where do we
213
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:37.919
start? Sometimes? I mean because
people, everybody, you know. I
214
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.399
know myself, I have baggage for
why past and lie bias for what I
215
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.279
like, but I also have been
able to step back from this and say,
216
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.720
well, I want a different outcome
or I want a different kind of
217
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.879
life, and I want to do
something, experience something different than what maybe
218
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.799
I've had in the past based on
my experience. Right, So maybe these
219
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.039
little things that we experience in our
life kind of shape a new direction that
220
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.399
we go. But fundamentally it's all
based on fostering trust in the world around
221
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.559
us. I mean, we're all
really, I think, naked to the
222
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.440
world when it comes right down to
it. I think a lot of us
223
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.759
try to hide and you know,
shield ourselves from reality. But success doesn't
224
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:23.679
come from them, no. And
also that's why I feel like we're all
225
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.879
feeling isolated too more, to be
honest, because we're all the world,
226
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:33.120
Watts is all of us isolated?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's another
227
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.080
topic. Zoom calls. Yes,
yes, the two D format and rather
228
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:42.519
personal connection. And I think that
in itself feeds the distrust, you know,
229
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:48.600
because the more we get used to
being isolated, the scarier it is
230
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.000
to then try to connect and open
ourselves up for whatever that is that we
231
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.679
fear. Well, we're being out
of practice doing it. Yeah. I
232
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.759
mean, I know during the pandemic, you know, locked away in I
233
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:07.400
Hold for like three years, it
didn't exactly foster life skills or interpersonal relationships
234
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.559
short and Zoom calls, oh my
god, yes, right, So you
235
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.119
know I got a little rusty too. That's why I've been so excited about
236
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.279
getting back out at events again.
Let's be able to keep working on those
237
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.279
skills. Okay, but that's the
name of the game. It's like it
238
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:27.319
all boils down to action, practice, repetition, consistency. Because you asked,
239
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:30.480
like, what are the steps.
I mean for each person that's going
240
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:36.279
to look differently, But I think
the universal things that you can do is,
241
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.839
you know, number one start small, because I think that can also
242
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:42.119
be really overwhelming. Like when someone
says to you, we'll just be more
243
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.759
confident, just just just trust,
just trust, It's like, well,
244
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.359
what does that mean? Like if
I could do that, I would do
245
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.680
that on my own and and I'd
find this to be true. When a
246
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.039
lot of people come to me there's
like find me a man, find me
247
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.480
a woman, I'm like, well, let's break that down and see,
248
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:02.119
like what are some skills that you
need to do in order to get that.
249
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:07.640
So I like starting with like tangible, small things that people can do
250
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.680
to add up to the bigger trust
because it's not going to happen overnight,
251
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.519
and to try to think of it
and just manifest it is overwhelming, and
252
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:19.680
quite honestly, you'll be disappointed because
you'll just sit there and like, well,
253
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.559
why I am am? I not
trusting what you're not doing? So
254
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.960
when you when you really just focus
on little things, and that's why,
255
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:32.880
you know, like with my clients
going online and learning just to talk to
256
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.839
the opposite sex again and not get
like into always this my boyfriend or girlfriend,
257
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.079
just like learning to trust that not
all guys are creeps and not all
258
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.799
women are bitches. Sorry if I
don't know if I can say that here,
259
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.279
but like this is no but but
this is where we get we get
260
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:56.119
caught up in is that we're so
scared and then nobody's approaching anybody, and
261
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.160
so we're at a stalemate. But
both women and men and have a responsibility
262
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:04.279
and approachability. And so if we
can all just exercise, like you said,
263
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:08.559
the social muscle and maybe just say
hi and say, oh, well,
264
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.559
maybe two people rejected me, but
then eight people said hi back.
265
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:18.480
Well there's evidence but that everybody is
like that, that you can actually trust
266
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.599
saying hi to the opposite sex,
and that every man is a bad man,
267
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.880
you know that kind of thing,
right, I mean, if you're
268
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.000
a guy, you just have to
take a risk, you know, yeah,
269
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.480
and just be nice and cordial and
be thoughtful and don't act too scared.
270
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.799
I mean that can also give the
impression that maybe you're lacking in confidence,
271
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:42.160
or you're lacking in your ability to
think on your feet, or you're
272
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:48.519
scared or whatever, and not necessarily
a way to foster good interpersonal communication.
273
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.000
So that that kind of stuff,
and I think, like you were saying,
274
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.680
each situation is so different. Everybody
just has to just step back and
275
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.000
say, you know, I'm gonna
think of this person. You know,
276
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.480
I've always heard this phrase said the
past. Is it the best way,
277
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.319
especially if you're a presenter or speaker, or is it just think of everybody
278
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.720
in the audiences in their underwear sitting
there? Yeah, you know right,
279
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.799
it's funny, right, so that
kind of disarms you. Or walk into
280
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.319
a room with a big smile on
your face. You know, I've been
281
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.680
told this for years. Is that
it? You know, especially with podcasting
282
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.599
and media creating media, is that
you go into what you're doing with a
283
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.480
smile on your face and it changes
your higher attitude. Now, granted,
284
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.799
what's your thoughts on that from a
relationship communication standpoint? If a person approaches
285
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:40.000
you and they've got a big smile
on their face or they they're so kind
286
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.079
of like positive, does that scare
away people too? I mean, are
287
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:49.200
people like skeptical of people that are
too happy or too smiling or too cheerful?
288
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.119
You think, well, I'll answer
in this way. I think too
289
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:57.599
many people are worried about what the
other people are thinking, as in,
290
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:03.200
it'll go there they go, right. So here's the thing you can never
291
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.480
do anything wrong. If you're coming
from a place of authenticity, one thing
292
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.799
that you want, you're doing something
in ways of like something that's not you.
293
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:17.160
So if you're smiling but you're really
anxious and it comes across a little
294
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.759
creepy, then it's going to be
creepy because if you feel creepy or weird,
295
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:23.559
guess what they're they're going to do. So it really it comes back
296
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.759
to us. We have that responsibility, dude. I think it comes from
297
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:33.119
confidence too. If you're genuinely cheerful, I think it's possible to go into
298
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:36.599
every situation that you're going into.
And I've been trying to do this in
299
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.880
my old life. Is it's to
go in positive thinking, don't think negative
300
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:44.160
thoughts, don't think, oh I'm
going to fail. It's the self talk
301
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:48.960
thing that goes on to that undermines
people and their confidence and their their ability
302
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.319
to feel confident. That they're undermining
themselves, you know, essentially pulling the
303
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:57.079
rog outum underneath themselves and every situation
then then yeah, people aren't going to
304
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:02.000
trust people that are giving that impression. I think too. But let's kind
305
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:04.759
of we want from that slow we'll
talk about situations where trust is broken,
306
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:10.920
And I know that's a complicated one
and there's no really one answer to this
307
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.839
dilemma of it. What's your thoughts
on rebuilding? I know in a lot
308
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.839
of relationships, once the trust is
broken, it's really difficult to build it
309
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.079
back again, and it may never
come back entirely. But what's your advice
310
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.920
for that people that are coming out
of that experience right where their trust me
311
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.240
just blown up with a nuclear ball
and they're trying to either I don't know
312
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.200
if you come across people that are
trying to heal their existing relationships or if
313
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:40.920
it's primarily just trying to get beyond
that trust explosion that happened in their lives.
314
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:41.920
Well, yeah, I mean as
a therapist, they used to work
315
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:48.039
with people in all different kinds of
situations obviously, so I did help people
316
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.240
who are already in relationships and couples
and that kind of thing. Now I'm
317
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:57.519
primarily focusing on people in the dating
world who are single, but a lot
318
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:03.000
of my clients do get into relationships
and there's always going to be hiccups and
319
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.480
whatnot. What I can say about
that is it first of all, depends
320
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.400
on the level of the trust that
has been broken, right, Like somebody
321
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:18.119
cheating on someone is different than someone
who told one lie and hadn't lied before.
322
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.000
Like there's different levels of things,
right. Then we also take in
323
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:29.000
things differently based on our own experiences. So you could have one person say
324
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:33.079
something that might feel like, oh, the trust is broken, but it
325
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.359
has to do with maybe stuff that
went on in the past that doesn't warrant
326
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:38.960
the trust to be broken. So
like, I think you have to look
327
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.519
at the quality and of what has
happened. So that's the first thing.
328
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:48.119
The second thing is, you know, in order to repair let's say yourself
329
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:52.640
and let's say you are getting back
out there and dating after having a horrible
330
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:57.519
toxic relationship where all trust was broken, it's going to take a minute.
331
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:03.000
I mean number one, definitely you've
got to do the work. Like I've
332
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.640
had people come to me where that
has happened and they're just trying to num
333
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:10.559
out by going out there and dating. You know, it's like, oh,
334
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:14.440
you know, and they're not even
allowing themselves to feel you know,
335
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:18.720
what happened. So you say,
numb out there are actually going about this
336
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.920
almost like a robotic thing. It
isn't like it's usually coming from a deep
337
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.920
sense of wanting to build a new
relationship. It's more like they feel like
338
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.000
they're going through the motions, is
that what you're don or they want to
339
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:36.319
feel the high of the courtship,
you know, and feeling great and like
340
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:41.160
they'll just go after the next thing
and not really take in first of all
341
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.880
what happened and deal with it when
you're doing the work. Like I actually
342
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.440
see this a lot like post divorce, and if something has happened, like
343
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:53.279
in the relationship, if there was
infidelity or money issues or something that has
344
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:57.720
happened, a lot of people just
go back out and get into another relationship,
345
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:02.279
almost like not dealing with that kind
of thing. What I say to
346
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:06.240
people who are in that state is
that first of all, it's not that
347
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:11.319
you shouldn't be social or try to
like get back to yourself, but you
348
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.759
also have to do some repair work
for yourself because even in situations where the
349
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:19.920
trust has been broken by the other
party, you still have a piece in
350
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:26.319
that and until you take responsibility of
well, what could have I done differently
351
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:32.319
and what was my piece, then
the cycle will continue, right So that
352
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:36.319
right so that I think this is
where it all begins and then you know,
353
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:41.119
once you do the work and you
start recognizing your stuff that you want
354
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:47.440
to change, then it's again going
back to taking small steps and not feeling
355
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:48.960
the pressure of like, oh my
god, now I have to trust again
356
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:52.599
and go date someone and get a
boyfriend or girlfriend. It's like, let's
357
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.880
just talk to the aliens as I
call, like a guy is an alien
358
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.759
to you, or if a woman's
an alien to just just to them and
359
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:04.640
get used to the opposite sex again, knowing that not everyone's a bad person.
360
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:10.039
Just maybe build friendships and go to
parties and like get back to new
361
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:14.160
feeling good, you know. So
that I think there's like definite basic steps
362
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:17.519
to take, and also time.
The third thing is time. You know,
363
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.440
you can't skip time, you can't
jump over it, you can't go
364
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:23.839
underneath that. You got to go
right through it and you got to feel
365
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:27.160
it. You got to feel it
and allow yourself to do that. And
366
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:33.079
as time goes on, there's certain
time periods where healing is there. And
367
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:36.839
I always say in a therapist,
I mean, it's not just meet me.
368
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:41.079
A lot of therapists say this that
when you finally feel that you get
369
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:45.079
to the place of neutrality, meaning
you don't have that anger towards that person
370
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.319
anymore, or that desire to go
back or win them back. When you
371
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:52.920
can just look at them or not
have any contact with them and just be
372
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.720
in that neutral state, you know, you've healed. That's interesting, Yeah,
373
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.680
I mean yeah, and that can
take a variety of different time spans,
374
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.880
right, I mean, each person
is different on that. But I
375
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.400
wanted to change gears a little bit
here really quick and just ask you what
376
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:12.079
are some of the red flags that
you think exist in the dating apps that
377
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.680
are out there today that if you're
a woman or a guy, you should
378
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:21.440
be looking out for or looking for
and dating appics you're trying to connect with
379
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:26.039
people, and that's a trust situation
too. Yeah, yeah, especially online.
380
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:27.839
I mean, so many people are
sick of it, and a lot
381
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:30.839
of it came from the pandemic because
that's all we could do to meet people.
382
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:34.440
The reality is there are a lot
of scammers there just are like,
383
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:38.279
I mean, we can't get around
that, just as they are in real
384
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:41.359
life. They're scammers in real life. And we were talking about this on
385
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:47.519
my podcast. There is a larger
concentrated amount of people who have access to
386
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:49.440
other people, so you're going to
just see it more, I think,
387
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.960
and I'm going to even just broaden
this out because this applies to offline as
388
00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:00.319
well. I think the first thing
that you're looking for is somebody who is
389
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:04.039
consistent in their communication and kind of
like they say what they mean, they
390
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:10.519
mean what they say. You're having
exchanges that feel kind of fluid. There's
391
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:14.440
a pacing that goes on that feels
really safe. I think that would be
392
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:18.319
another thing to look for. Yeah, what does that look like? Pacing
393
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:23.039
meaning you don't want things to go
too fast. You also don't want things
394
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:27.559
to go too long. Meaning if
anybody's like, HI want to meet or
395
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:32.039
HI want to have sex, or
Hi, I mean you know so and
396
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:34.359
we laugh. There are situations like
that where it just goes really fast,
397
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.880
like oh, I just want to
meet you right away, and we're in
398
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.400
a different day and age now,
you know. And I always recommend have
399
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.400
a little exchange, see if you
feel emotionally safe and having fun with that
400
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.039
person. And even then the next
step is to go on the phone,
401
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.920
have a zoom date, just kind
of like have an exchange that feels good
402
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.279
and then you can meet them out. Not everybody wants to do that.
403
00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.240
But it's certainly a safer step for
some people who had trust issues in the
404
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:06.039
past or a safety issue too to
some degree. Right totally and seeing if
405
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:11.000
that they're real, because the bots
are the scammers and all that. They'll
406
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:12.960
never want to talk to you on
the phone. They'll they'll just disappear,
407
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:18.039
like that's one of the signs to
look for actually, or you know,
408
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.240
they start writing novels to you and
you feel like it's almost like dear Abbey
409
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.400
letters to you, and there's like
romantic stuff in there, and it's like
410
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:32.039
but they never want to like text
you or go on the phone or like
411
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:33.279
see you in real life. And
then they start asking you for money.
412
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:37.839
Like there's it's so easy to detect
once you get good at it. And
413
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:41.680
again it all takes practice. But
the other pacing thing, like I had
414
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:47.000
a woman who she never dated before
and she was in her forties, Like
415
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:51.720
it was really we were starting from
scratch, and she finally was getting days.
416
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:55.519
We fixed her profile. She was
looking great. Part of it was
417
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:57.480
just her image. You know.
I'm an image consultant too, so I
418
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.839
do work with people in their clothes
and how they look and how they market
419
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.839
themselves and she was finally getting traction, but then it was going the other
420
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:10.079
extreme where these guys were just writing
her writing or writing her and never asking
421
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:12.680
her out. Like that's also something
that shouldn't happen. You know, there
422
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:18.279
should be some sort of desire to
connect and whether that is on phone,
423
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.039
text or in real life is what
you should want. And then from there
424
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:30.559
it's really like collecting data on how
you're feeling and the consistency and people's actions
425
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:34.480
matching their words. Those are all
things to look for. And building the
426
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.519
trust one of the part of this
too, and I don't think it gets
427
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.200
talked about that that often. Is
I think we've maybe have talked about it
428
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.359
a little bit kind of around it
is the role of self trust, yeah,
429
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:51.880
and our ability to trust ourselves in
relationships. And how does trusting oneself
430
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:56.400
affect the ability to trust others in
a relationship. You know, that's kind
431
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.519
of like what one of those kind
of psychological kind of quand raise, right,
432
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.599
But it's an interesting thing. Have
you thought about that or have you
433
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.000
consulted with others on that issue?
Oh? My god, that's everything,
434
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.599
because really when you have trust or
mistrust with someone, often it really has
435
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.400
nothing to do with the person.
It has to do with you and trusting
436
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:22.279
your ability to trust yourself to have
the right picker or pick a healthy relationship.
437
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:27.240
Like my clients deal with us all
the time. And guy just actually
438
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.400
caught off the press. I just
got off the phone with one of my
439
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:34.599
clients before we hopped on here,
and she was really excited about this guy
440
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.920
and and she started, you know, dating him, and I was teaching
441
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:42.160
her to slow down and really collect
data with this like chemistry analysis that I
442
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:48.359
had her do and all these other
things, and she started seeing things that
443
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:52.759
she never saw before. And you
know, this whole time, she was
444
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.200
thinking, well, I don't trust
guys. I don't trust guys. But
445
00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:00.640
then she's like, wow, like
I started getting anxiety with in myself that
446
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:06.799
am I doing the right thing by
So there was this kind of conversation with
447
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:10.319
herself. And as she started realizing
that, I'm like on the phone with
448
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:14.000
her and I said, where's the
anxiety coming from? She's like, you
449
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:16.440
know, I realized, I'm just
I'm not trusting myself, you know,
450
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:20.880
Like I think I made the right
decision by letting him go, but I
451
00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:23.119
started getting really anxious that I made
the wrong decision because I'm not used to
452
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:27.400
this, and I'm like, well, that's good, you broke a pattern,
453
00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:31.119
and so it feels strange. Really, at the core of what you
454
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:37.240
offer your clients when you work with
someone that's trying to get past this song,
455
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:39.839
is giving them thought processes that help
them build that self. Druss.
456
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:45.160
Yeah, part of it is the
thought process. It's really it's three things.
457
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:47.400
I called them map method. When
I work with people, it's working
458
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:52.240
on your mindset, it's working on
your approach, and it's working on your
459
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:57.359
perspective. And when those things shift, that's when you start shifting. Because
460
00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:00.119
it's not just one thing, right, It's not me just telling you go
461
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:06.000
read this book or go say this
to this person. It's repetition, it's
462
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:08.039
practiced. That's part of the approach. But you also have to have a
463
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:15.359
different mindset around it, you know. I My favorite story that I often
464
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:20.000
tell is this woman she called me
up and she's like, find me a
465
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:25.119
man. I scoured the earth and
I cannot find him anywhere. And I've
466
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:30.759
done all the apps. It's the
same guys over and over again. I
467
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.079
have, you know, tried to
meet people in real life. I see
468
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:37.519
the same guys I go to work
every day. I said, I believe
469
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:44.759
you. She's like, what,
I believe that you believe that there's no
470
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:49.519
guys left. He's like, She's
like, well, well, then how
471
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:53.160
can you help me? I said, well, I quite honestly can't until
472
00:33:53.279 --> 00:34:00.000
you start seeing that there are possibilities, that there are good guys out there.
473
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:05.359
That's interesting, right, right,
And if you've closed off your lines
474
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:08.360
of even the opportunity that's out there, yeah, you're not gonna You're not
475
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:13.159
going to see it. And so
I this the funny ending to this story,
476
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:15.320
As I said, Look, so
she ends up hiring me. I
477
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.039
said, I just want you to
do one thing before a first coaching call
478
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:21.639
I always give my clients Homer,
I said, I want you to take
479
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:25.119
a walk to work like you always
do, same routine, but this time,
480
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:29.480
I want you to take the blinders
off, and I want you to
481
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:34.760
look around and notice who's noticing you, in particular men. She's like,
482
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:38.000
well, I take this routine all
the time. I understand that I'm just
483
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:44.960
asking you to notice who's noticing you. So she goes, I choose she
484
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:47.599
comes back because she says, Kimmy, do you voodoodol. I said,
485
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:51.960
no, I don't have a voodoodol. Want to happen coming really handy right
486
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:54.599
now? Yeah, I thought,
I do, I'm not that powerful.
487
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:58.039
What happened? She said? I
did what she said, and I took
488
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:02.639
the same walk to work and I
know this gentleman sitting on a bench and
489
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:07.039
I looked back at him like you
directed me, and he suddenly he calls
490
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:13.119
me over and we had this most
amazing conversation and Kimmy, he asked me
491
00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:17.400
out, and well, Kimmy,
he already had a date with me,
492
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:25.519
and I really like him. And
that guy ended up being her boyfriend all
493
00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:32.360
because she noticed something different and had
an awareness and had a different mindset of
494
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:37.280
finding something that she had to believe
in. But then we had more coaching
495
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:42.039
right to do and how to keep
that thing going. Well, you do
496
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.360
a podcast, it sounds like charisma
is a big part of your philosophy.
497
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:50.000
So what's it tell us atle bit
about the role of charisma? Oh?
498
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:53.360
Yeah, that it plays in creating
trust and connection with others. What is
499
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:57.599
charisma? Is that kind of a
drivative What I was talking about about walking
500
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:00.639
into the room with a smile on
your face and positive and being kind of
501
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:05.239
genuine as well, or is there
some other factor of charisma that I'm not
502
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:08.119
thinking. Yeah, I love charisma. When I was thinking about the name
503
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:13.079
of my podcast and even just like
what I do with people, I figured
504
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:17.440
out it really is about charisma because
what charisma is, and this is just
505
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:22.599
what research has shown, is that
it's a learned behavior. Interestingly, what
506
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:25.320
I love about that is that means
I can teach it and I have.
507
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:30.639
I've taught an eighty five year old
woman to be charismatic and pick up a
508
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:34.559
guide of our all the way down
to a twenty year old like it doesn't
509
00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:37.119
like, it doesn't matter how old
you are, where you are in life
510
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:43.400
and charisma, how I define it
is a magnetism that just draws people to
511
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:47.960
you. That there's playfulness, there's
a presence that you exude when you have
512
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:52.880
that charisma, that energy. It
does allow people to trust you because it's
513
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:59.760
an inviting type of energy that shows
that you're happy, you're relaxed, you're
514
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.880
lifeful. And guess what characteristics that's
similar to kids, Right, that's true,
515
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:07.639
we all trust kids, right.
I always say, like you look
516
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:10.079
at kids who are like four or
five years old. They haven't developed filters
517
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:14.519
yet. They don't care. If
Johnny sees Betsy in a playground, he
518
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:16.239
doesn't say, oh, I shouldn't
go over there. I shouldn't I know,
519
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:21.039
I shouldn't bother. No, he
just goes up in a charismatic way,
520
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:22.239
said, Hi, what are you
doing? Can I play? They're
521
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:29.320
naturally trusting people because nothing has happened
to them yet, right, So right
522
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:32.079
if they're kind of at the early
stages right or there, and they haven't
523
00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:37.480
developed filters, right, they haven't
developed filters. So this kind of blank
524
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:43.440
slate that's is open and inviting.
And that's why I do think the charisma
525
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:46.719
can be really just a space where
you can invite people. And now it
526
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:51.960
can be done in a manipulating way
too. Like what those ex questions and
527
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:54.159
ask was, how do you do
that in an authentic way? If a
528
00:37:54.280 --> 00:38:00.519
person isn't naturally charismatic, how does
a person become magically isn't at it?
529
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:04.519
Yeah? I mean, well,
I have a formula that I teach people.
530
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:08.119
I mean a lot of people don't
realize this charisma quotient is the formula
531
00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:12.199
that I use with all my clients. And that's why it's the name of
532
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:16.119
my podcast. So there's three pillars
in the charisma quotation. Number one is
533
00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:21.679
what I call style intelligence, meaning
how we market ourselves. Because I'm an
534
00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:27.000
image consultant, I do believe that
you also elicit trust from how you show
535
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:30.920
up in your clothes, your body
language, your first impressions, your sex
536
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:37.519
appeal. That all tells a story
about who you are in an authentic way.
537
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:40.559
It's really putting out your best you
know, like your best self forward
538
00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:44.280
because at the end of the day, and I can safely say this as
539
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:46.639
a therapist, you could do the
inside job till the cows come home,
540
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:50.800
and believe me, the inside job
is really important. But if you're not
541
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:54.599
marketing yourself, then love might pass
you by, opportunities might pass you by.
542
00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:59.480
So you know, once you build
that confidence of putting yourself out there,
543
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.320
it's like direct feedback that you get
from other people. So image is
544
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.119
a powerful I mean, this could
be a whole other episode. Obviously a
545
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:10.880
powerful thing. So I look at
that. The second pillar is emotional intelligence,
546
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:14.760
and you know, obviously we all
know that buzzword, but it's how
547
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:20.559
we express ourselves. It is authenticity, it is vulnerability, it's setting boundaries,
548
00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:24.000
it's allowing people to know how we
feel, but coming from a place
549
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:28.280
of what we want and not what
others want. So that's a big piece.
550
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:31.840
Third piece is social intelligence. That's
how we manage in our personal communication
551
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:37.880
and relationships. And yes, that
includes flirting. So flirting is a big
552
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:42.480
part of my business. As you
know, I do floor workshops all the
553
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:45.159
time and people are like, oh, that's so like flighty and superficial.
554
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:50.159
Now, I think flirting is part
of charisma, you know, and I
555
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:52.360
can totally you see how that would
be the case, right, totally makes
556
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:55.760
sense. Yeah, I mean because
it creates a playful atmosphere. I mean
557
00:39:55.880 --> 00:40:00.039
that's kind of what it is,
right, Flirting is being a little playful,
558
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:05.800
right, and not taking yourself so
seriously exactly exactly, because when you
559
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:09.000
don't take yourself so seriously and again
you just come from the place of being
560
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:15.239
present what you want. It builds
the trust factor, really does I mean
561
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:20.519
that wasn't a button. I don't
know what this Where did that name and
562
00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:23.119
that podcast come from? Right?
Yeah? I think we should have a
563
00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:29.719
podcast, right, Yes, yeah, I mean I agree with you percent,
564
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:32.119
But what are the kind of the
top things that somebody should look for
565
00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:37.000
in a potential partner as they assess
them. I mean, are they you
566
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:39.599
know, this charisma thing is one
part of that, but obviously once you
567
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:44.760
get past the charisma part, there's
an interest in substance, right, Yeah,
568
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:50.960
what are some of the characteristic behaviors
of starting to unlock that those characteristics
569
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:54.000
they get beyond the flirting. So
are you talking about in direct relation to
570
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:58.880
truestability or yeah? I think,
well yeah, and that's the early stage
571
00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:02.039
of one. Can I trust to
go a little further with this passion?
572
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:06.239
Can I take the next step?
Can I go on a date? Can
573
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:09.679
I write those kind of practice?
What are the kind of the behaviors that
574
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:14.760
you should be looking for? Yeah? Well, you know, when I
575
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:19.559
vindicated, I do this kind of
like data collection, data dating in the
576
00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:22.320
beginning, and there's certain systems that
I have people put in place. I
577
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:27.519
have this chemistry analysis that I have
them do. We do like negotiables and
578
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:30.519
non negotiables, you know, to
really take a look at what are the
579
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:35.880
characteristics that are negotiable in a relationship
and what are the ones that are just
580
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:39.360
like non negotiable, you know,
and that's really important. It's also looking
581
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:43.239
at how you feel when when you're
with them, right, and so there's
582
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:45.840
all these things that you look at. But when it comes to the trust
583
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:51.239
factor, and especially if you have
trust issues, there are definite, like
584
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:55.599
key behaviors that you'll see when someone
is not trustworthy. One of the things
585
00:41:55.639 --> 00:41:59.480
I said is do they mean what
they say and say what they mean?
586
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:05.400
Like do their actions and words match, Because a lot of people, especially
587
00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:09.880
in the first stage, if they
are like players, or they are people
588
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:15.599
who maybe use charisma in a that's
a good way, which which can happen
589
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:20.599
a manipulative way, then like your
vision almost gets clouded because you're getting caught
590
00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:23.280
up in that like excitement of it, and they'll talk a good game,
591
00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:28.519
yet their actions don't follow. You
know why, it's really important to have
592
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:32.639
consistency with dates and just like keeping
your eye on certain things rather than getting
593
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:37.760
caught up in the like physicality of
it, which often can happen the drug
594
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:43.960
right, like in that infactuation stage. The second thing is I would also
595
00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:46.960
like look at how that person treats
other people, you know, like when
596
00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:52.679
you're on a date, do they
treat the waiter and waitresses kind? Do
597
00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:58.679
they show interest in other people and
care if they see a kid or a
598
00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:01.199
puppy, Like how do they read
act to it? Like, notice just
599
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:06.719
how they treat other people. Also, do they ask about you? Are
600
00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:12.360
they interested in you? Right?
Are they genuinely interested to ask thoughtful questions?
601
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:16.280
Right? And about how you feel? Which is a distinction because sometimes
602
00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:24.039
manipulators will ask questions based on just
knowing where you live so they can manipulate
603
00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:30.199
you. That's a different thing than
really genuinely caring about like how your day
604
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:35.239
was and how you feel about things. And then actually they remember, they
605
00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:39.039
remember things that you like and dislike
for the next date. So you're looking
606
00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:42.400
for, you know, little things
like that. I mean, there's so
607
00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:45.760
much more. Also, watch for
the people who come on hot and heavy,
608
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:50.880
you know, like I called tornado
relationship. You know, you get
609
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:53.800
caught up in a tornado and it's
this like whoo, magical sexual kind of
610
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:59.679
attraction. And then as soon as
it comes and swoops in, it leaves,
611
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:02.119
and then you're left with all the
remnants around you. You're like,
612
00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:06.760
oh my god, what has happened? Like, so those hot and heavy,
613
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:09.519
fast and furious ones are definitely like
a red flat. Those are all
614
00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:14.119
good points. So the last topic
I wanted to talk to you about and
615
00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:20.440
then we can wrap it up is
trust in friendships versus romantic relationships and how
616
00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:23.920
that dynamic works. And we're kind
of in a new phase now where there's
617
00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:28.960
there's other dynamics. It's not just
male female, it's you know, transgender
618
00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:31.480
relationships, there's gay relationships, all
those kind of stuff like that too.
619
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:37.840
But can we be in true friendships
with the other sex? I mean,
620
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:39.559
I think a lot of people,
when you ask them that question, will
621
00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:44.719
tell you you can't be friends with
the opposite sex. It's just not possible,
622
00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:47.719
right because it's always going to turn
physical and all this kind of stuff.
623
00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:51.320
I don't tend to agree with that, but there's a lot of people
624
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:54.079
that have had those experiences like we've
been talking about here, where people are
625
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:59.679
trust and it's like those type of
things. So there is and I've learned
626
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:01.679
this too, is it? I
think it is possible to have friends.
627
00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:07.239
I've got female friends that I've known
for thirty four years. Never know,
628
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:09.880
maybe started out that way many many
years ago as a physical relationship, but
629
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:15.800
the friendship has persisted for many many
years and it's not gone back there ever
630
00:45:16.079 --> 00:45:20.559
again because they moved on and I
moved on and those kind of things.
631
00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:23.800
But it's kind of interesting to think
about this, especially in the context now
632
00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:29.599
of the changing world that we live
in now that there are gender and sex
633
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:32.360
and all the stuff like that are
all kind of getting lushed up into a
634
00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:37.800
mix. And I just wonder about
the trust aspects of friendship versus etic relationships.
635
00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:43.239
It is an interesting conversation. And
I also think there's differences in generation
636
00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:47.480
because I see it even with my
kids, you know, the younger generation.
637
00:45:47.599 --> 00:45:52.920
I think trusts having friendships with the
opposite sex way easier than like our
638
00:45:52.960 --> 00:46:00.000
generation, because the expectations of man
and woman were different then than they are
639
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:06.760
now, and so you know all
those all that baggage that comes along with
640
00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:09.719
that. Oh yeah, Like I
have two sons and they have a ton
641
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:14.679
of friends who are women, and
they don't think anything of it. They're
642
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:16.199
like, Mom, they're just friends. Like what, I don't get why
643
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:20.159
that's like, you know, they
don't they don't even get like why that
644
00:46:20.239 --> 00:46:22.480
would be a big deal to us. Yeah, I mean trust is trust
645
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:28.159
is trust, and whether we're talking
about a romantic situation, a friendship,
646
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:30.960
friendship and the opposite sex, same
sex. Like to me, it's all
647
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:37.239
the same like, but creates trust
in a relationship. Holds true with any
648
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:42.440
kind of relationship and if you you
know, if that person has your back,
649
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:46.280
if that person is a good friend, if there's reciprocity in the friendship,
650
00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:52.480
where there's benefits going both ways,
which is also really important. All
651
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:57.480
of those things is what is more
important to look at versus if it's you
652
00:46:57.519 --> 00:47:00.639
know, male female, you know
that kind of thing. Now, I
653
00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:05.440
do think that actually there's value.
And let's say a woman has been in
654
00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:08.880
toxic relationships with men and she has
been burned with just men in general,
655
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:15.440
I actually think it's a benefit to
be friends with men, to show that
656
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:19.840
there are good men and that there
are men that she can trust, and
657
00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:23.840
maybe having just a friendship first would
be an important step for her rather than
658
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:29.840
jumping into another relationship. So again
it's different for everybody and everybody's journey,
659
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:34.679
but in the end game is the
same. Yeah, it's interesting, especially
660
00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:38.559
now with people being able to connect
electronically on a global scale, there can
661
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:44.440
be friendships that happen with people that
are six seven thousand miles away from each
662
00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:47.360
other and still be able to communicate
and be in touch. That's created a
663
00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:53.800
whole different kind of dynamic in relationships
and friendships as well as just the accessibility.
664
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:58.360
You know, when I was growing
up, I mean, your expectations
665
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:01.880
of relationships were like your local area, I like, within maybe a five
666
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:07.840
minute walking Rangel was basically the parameter
that you had to work with because there
667
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:12.800
wasn't electronuct communication. And now we
have these tools that give us connections with
668
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:15.559
I mean, I do more calls
with people outside of the United States now
669
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:19.000
than I do in the United States. So it kind of opened up the
670
00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:22.880
world, but it's also created a
different dynamic around relationships. I think,
671
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:25.440
oh, it definitely has. And
I think this is also kind of a
672
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:30.519
good top to end on, is
that no matter what you know, as
673
00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:34.039
you point out in your podcast all
the time about how communication is such an
674
00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:38.239
important factor and trust that there's so
many different forms of communication that that and
675
00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:43.760
itself can break down communication, you
know, and so like there's some people
676
00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:46.360
who like to text, there's some
people who like the phone, there's some
677
00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:51.159
people who like the zoom, you
know, And I think being aware of
678
00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:54.960
how people want to be communicated with
is really important in building a relation step.
679
00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:59.519
Right, there's so many ways now, right, Yeah, there's time,
680
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:05.280
there's there's instant messaging. There's all
sorts of these different apps that people
681
00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:07.800
are getting involved in. There were
communication app not so with dating apps,
682
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:13.960
but you know Facebook and Twitter and
all have messaging capability too, So you're
683
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:17.920
just getting involvarded with people coming in, you know, from their preferred communication
684
00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:22.840
platform. The way people receive those
different messages, like gone are the days
685
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:27.679
where you just pick up the phone
and callt Like it's almost now intrusive to
686
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.480
do that. The people will be
like, you know, it will be
687
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:32.760
like why are you calling me?
Yeah, what's wrong? Why are you
688
00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:37.639
calling me? And so it's like
an etiquette thing too. But like look
689
00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:40.599
at that dynamic in itself, Like
what if someone just really missed a person
690
00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:44.599
and they just pick up the phone
and call, and then that other person's
691
00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:47.440
like, why are you calling me? Now there's this weirdness, you know,
692
00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:52.599
but in the relationship. So even
like that is important. And I
693
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:59.199
also think not being reliant on one
form is important because everything is so tech
694
00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:02.679
driven. If all you're doing is
dming, how can you develop a deeper
695
00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:07.559
relationship with that person? Pick up
the phone asked to me or some mine.
696
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:09.760
You know, it's also a reason
to be a content creator and a
697
00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:14.239
podcaster or something like the two is
because, right, I've had this experience,
698
00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:17.079
even going back to my sports playing
days when I was playing playing competitive
699
00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:21.320
basketball, is that people knew me, but I didn't know them. So
700
00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:23.920
it kind of puts you in a
little bit of an interesting dynamic. And
701
00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:28.559
that's my life today. So I
do so much medium. I've been doing
702
00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:30.760
it for so long that you know, there's a lot of people out there
703
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:34.639
that know of me or know me
that I don't even know that are out
704
00:50:34.679 --> 00:50:38.320
there, right, So I get
contacted by people all the time on inbound
705
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:43.159
stuff, and I'm like caught off
guard because these people cabably know me else
706
00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:45.679
as well as I do because they've
been watching the new media show for the
707
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:49.079
last five years or something like that. But I don't even know anything about
708
00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:53.079
this person. So I think being
able to communicate like that can put you
709
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:57.079
a little bit of advantage, but
it could also put you at a little
710
00:50:57.119 --> 00:51:00.440
bit of a risk too that all
these people know about you, and some
711
00:51:00.519 --> 00:51:05.239
of them maybe fraudsters, So you
just don't want to do it. Who
712
00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:09.719
do you trust, wanting to hurt
you somehow, right, and so it
713
00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:12.960
is art and trust. But Jimmy, it's been great to have you on
714
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:16.079
the show. I appreciate your insights
and your thoughts, and I hope this
715
00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:22.119
was helpful to my viewers on their
journey of trying to understand trust and its
716
00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:27.440
implications. And so how can a
viewer listener of this find you online to
