In today’s episode, we dig into two powerful stories about childhood trauma, emotional shutdown, and what it takes to finally start healing.One caller struggles with anxious attachment, protest behavior, and feeling unheard in relationships. The other shares her experience losing her dad to brain cancer at 13 while her mom was having an affair — and how that shaped her ability to feel anything at all.We talk about why your reactions don’t make you “hard to love,” how the inner child shows up when you feel unsafe, and why therapy doesn’t have to start with talking. I break down EMDR, somatic work, art therapy, and the equine therapy that changed my life.If you’ve ever felt unseen, dismissed, or scared to face your own emotions — this one’s for you.If you like this, click subscribe, like and share with a friend.Got a story on your heart?

Not just emotionally, but chemically.Our nervous systems cling to the same emotions — stress, guilt, fear — not because they feel good, but because they feel known.That’s the familiar hell: the emotional home you know too well.Peace, love, freedom — that’s the unfamiliar heaven. And most people never get there because the unknown feels unsafe.This episode is the full breakdown of The 7 Steps — the real process of how to rewire your mind and body, break the habit of being your old self, and step into the version of you your future actually needs.You’ll learn how to:Interrupt the loop keeping you stuck.Sit in the unknown and rewire your nervous system.Redefine your future self.Rehearse until it’s real.Feel it before you see it.Sustain the state in everyday life.Surrender and trust God to meet you halfway.Get my new book Sappy Hour HERE***use SAPPYHOUR10 for 10% off🎧 Listen to Sappy Hour everywhere podcasts are streamedJournal Prompts — Step 3: Redefine Your Future Self 1.

"Why Do I Feel So Lonely?" The Truth About Loneliness No One Tells You
Loneliness isn’t proof that something’s wrong with you.It’s proof that there’s something inside you still alive enough to want connection.JB Copeland unpacks the psychology of chronic loneliness — what it really means when you’ve “always felt lonely.” From childhood attachment to self-discrepancy theory, he breaks down how lack emotional attunement shapes our adult lives, and how we can begin to reconnect with the actual self that’s been waiting underneath the performance.Maybe you don’t need to find more people. Maybe you just need to find the part of you that’s been missing.Get my new book Sappy Hour HERE***use SAPPYHOUR10 for 10% off🎧 Listen to Sappy Hour everywhere podcasts are streamed📲 Instagram: @jb_copeland
Where heartbreak meets healing, science meets soul, and tough love meets laughter.
Let's unpack the real stuff no one teaches you how to handle: betrayal, closure, trauma bonds, self-trust, burnout, love, loss, and learning how to stop repeating the same cycles.
It’s not therapy. It’s not self help.

Pull up a chair. The hour's already started.
