Description
<p>What happens when self-worth becomes the missing piece in healing? In this episode, Ash sits down with Trauma Specialist and Psychotherapist, Jackson Goding, for a raw and thought-provoking conversation about what it really takes to recover, grow, and build authentic connection.</p><p><br></p><p>Jackson opens up about his own journey through codependency, the reality of doing deep trauma work, and why self-worth sits at the heart of true healing. Together, they explore the often messy path of relationships, meditation, and emotional regulation, unravelling why personal growth is rarely linear and almost never easy.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode goes far beyond the surface of “self-care.” It’s about courage, consistency, and the daily non-negotiables that help us return to ourselves again and again. Expect honesty, humour, and plenty of takeaways to help you nurture your own sense of worth and connection.</p><p><br></p><p>Episode chapters:</p><p>00:00 Introduction to Jackson Goding and His Work</p><p>02:45 Living in Sydney and Future Plans</p><p>05:33 Daily Life and Mindfulness Practices</p><p>08:31 The Challenge of Powerlessness and Surrender</p><p>11:14 Meditation: The Struggle and Its Importance</p><p>14:04 Hiding Behind a Smile: Personal Struggles</p><p>17:00 Relationships as Mirrors for Personal Growth</p><p>19:40 The Complexity of Relationships and Recovery</p><p>22:21 The Journey to Becoming a Therapist</p><p>24:59 Core Beliefs and Their Impact on Identity</p><p>31:02 Navigating Shame and Self-Worth</p><p>31:46 Understanding Triggers and Responses</p><p>33:07 Effective Communication in Relationships</p><p>35:06 The Impact of Past Experiences</p><p>36:53 Identifying and Expressing Needs</p><p>39:59 The Importance of Boundaries</p><p>41:36 Self-Accountability and Inner Child Work</p><p>44:24 Defining Codependency</p><p>48:10 The Challenges of Recovery from Codependency</p><p>52:57 Staying Accountable in Relationships</p><p>56:12 Establishing Non-Negotiables for Self-Care</p><p>01:02:26 Finding Balance in Relationships</p><p><br></p><p>You can connect with Jackson via the below channels:</p><p>It Ends With Us Retreat: <a href="https://findreasontherapy.com.au/it-ends-with-us/"><u>https://findreasontherapy.com.au/it-ends-with-us/</u></a> </p><p><br></p><p>IG @findreasontherapy <a href="https://www.instagram.com/findreasontherapy/"><u>https://www.instagram.com/findreasontherapy/</u></a> </p><p><br></p><p>Before you do more work: <a href="https://app.heartbeat.chat/findreason/courses/c/e7acf2c4-df05-4546-8b6c-092d8363fa2a"><u>https://app.heartbeat.chat/findreason/courses/c/e7acf2c4-df05-4546-8b6c-092d8363fa2a</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow and connect with Ash on: </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ashbutterss/%20%E2%81%A0"><u>Instagram</u></a><u> @ashbutterss</u></p><p><a href="http://www.ashbutterss.com"><u>Website </u><strong>www.ashbutterss.com</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Letting Go Ritual: Breathwork, Yin, and Intention Setting for 2026</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-letting-go-ritual-breathwork-yin-and-intention-setting-for-2026-tickets-1849411372199?aff=oddtdtcreator"><u>Tickets available here. </u></a></p><p><br></p><p>Join Ash on retreat in Bali in 2026!
