Do you find yourself using prayer and worship to avoid your internal turmoil?

In this episode of Triggered and True, Brian Friesen and Laura Duncan explore the thin line between genuine faith and "medicating with God," a form of spiritual bypassing where we use religion to escape our pain rather than inviting God into it.

We tackle one of the most common objections to emotional healing: Is the Compassion Method Biblical? Laura shares her journey from performing "religious routines" to having a felt experience with Jesus, explaining how our earthly wounds can often skew our perception of a perfect Heavenly Father.

Are your own objections keeping you from coming home to yourself? 🏠

In this powerful episode of Triggered and True, Brian Friesi and Laura Duncan tackle the most common struggles people face when starting their healing journey. If you've ever thought, "My emotions will lead me astray," or "If I start crying, I'll never stop," this episode is for you.

Laura breaks down the Compassion Method roadmap, explaining why the "check engine lights" of our emotions are actually gifts meant to protect us, not threats to be suppressed. We also explore the critical difference between talk therapy and true root-level healing, and why focusing on your own heart isn't "letting villains off the hook," but rather the most empowering move you can make.

Are you using your past pain, anxiety, or "chips on your shoulder" to drive your success? While society often views this as noble or "gritty," this episode reveals why fueling your life with triggered energy is a fast track to burnout and limited results. In Episode 69, Brian Friesen and Laura Duncan deconstruct the "noble" myth of suffering. They explore the biological and emotional costs of staying "triggered" to get work done and offer a more sustainable, limitless alternative: True Self Energy.
