Patty AubreyGUEST
So what we did was we went with a small company out of Florida, and we had access to an entire printing press.
Patty AubreyGUEST
They did books for John Bradshaw, a couple different people, and they had a magazine.
Patty AubreyGUEST
They were mostly in the recovery space, but after years of being turned down, and when we found these people and we went with them, what we got was we got access to everything.
Patty AubreyGUEST
So we were able to build out our brand on our own terms because we had everything in-house from editorial to the art departments to printing and shipping and distribution.
Jenny ReynoldsHOST
And was there any unmet needs in that time? He really felt that this shaped you.
Jenny ReynoldsHOST
The whole concept was kind of moved on a little bit by somebody called John Bradshaw.
Jenny ReynoldsHOST
And his work on the wounded inner child is what kind of brought all of these concepts into mainstream psychology.
Jenny ReynoldsHOST
And we started to see it being talked about more in more mainstream therapy.
Paul GilmartinHOST
Shame is just the most tenacious barnacle that just wants to attach itself.
Paul GilmartinHOST
to so many things but I think for a lot of us especially our sexuality the things that turn us on things we've done or things we want to do and there's a great book by John Bradshaw called healing the shame that binds and he is one of the pioneers in treating sex addiction and just kind of you know, breaking down what certain support groups are about and just a real A really important person in the history of mental health.
Paul GilmartinHOST
And yeah, the book is called Healing the Shame that Binds.
Paul GilmartinHOST
Sexual fantasy is most powerful to you.
Oprah WinfreyGUEST
Most people grow up not getting what they need.
Oprah WinfreyGUEST
I remember doing a show with John Bradshaw, who is the founder of the whole inner child movement.
Oprah WinfreyGUEST
John Bradshaw did an exercise where he had people go back into their childhoods and look through the window.
Oprah WinfreyGUEST
Walk yourself home-
Mel RobbinsHOST
Uh-huh
Joe MittigaHOST
Now, at this point, I'm probably 10 years sober, 11 years sober, and my entire spiritual awakening happened because of inner child work, deep emotional inner child work.
Joe MittigaHOST
That's where John Bradshaw, a, a fabulous human being, passed away numerous years ago.
Joe MittigaHOST
All, everything I know about the inner child was sourced through him.
Joe MittigaHOST
Whoever I learned it from, he was the grandfather of all of it, John Bradshaw, fabulous human.
Joe MittigaHOST
So for Joe, if somebody spirit was talking spiritually, if they weren't talking from their heart, it didn't resonate with me, period.
Joe MittigaHOST
It didn't.
Joe MittigaHOST
None of them are originally mine.
Joe MittigaHOST
The original person that I learned a lot of this from, my counselor Nancy of many years, learned it from a man named John Bradshaw.
Joe MittigaHOST
And John Bradshaw's amazing human, passed away numerous years ago now with fifty years of sobriety, and he was educated in every doctorate there was.
Joe MittigaHOST
Just a, a genius of a man.
Joe MittigaHOST
Well, I ain't that, that's for sure.
18 MINS LATER
Joe MittigaHOST
What was I? 27-ish, getting ready to be 27 at the time.
Joe MittigaHOST
Big, drinking all the time, drugging all the time, you know, working, blah, blah, blah.
Joe MittigaHOST
And she said, "I'm gonna intro- I wanna introduce you to a concept called the inner child." And she learned it from John Bradshaw.
Karina LongworthHOST
By the mid-1860s, Cincinnati had not only the largest Jewish population in what was then thought of as the West, but also the second largest in the US next to New York.
Karina LongworthHOST
Two of Libby Holman's biographers, John Bradshaw in Dreams That Money Can Buy, and Milt Machlin in Libby, stress that Libby was born into one of the most prominent families in this large and thriving Jewish community.
Karina LongworthHOST
What did that actually mean in the late 19th and early 20th centuries? Well, this is interesting.
Karina LongworthHOST
Libby's mother, Rachel, was the daughter of David Jacob Orcutt, whose brother was married to the sister of Moses Jacob Ezekiel, I guess making Moses Jacob Ezekiel Libby's distant uncle.
24 MINS LATER
Karina LongworthHOST
But there's also something else.
Karina LongworthHOST
Richard Rodgers, who wrote the music for Libby's first big show and would later go on to compose Oklahoma!, The Sound of Music, and countless other classic musicals, said that Libby had what he called a coon shouter's voice.
Karina LongworthHOST
Libby's biographer, John Bradshaw, explains this meant Libby sang in, quote, "A contralto with a big, vibrant sound." This is just one of several places in his book where Bradshaw chooses not to actually explore the rich and thorny well of racial issues surrounding Libby's self-presentation.
Karina LongworthHOST
The fact is, there was a long tradition preceding Libby of Jewish female singers, such as Sophie Tucker, who was billed in Vaudeville as the world-renowned coon shouter, who deliberately played with tropes of minstrelsy.
Eve StanwayGUEST
And although there may be the manosphere and all the men who are still the way that men are in, you know, this kind of classic
Lucy MaeveHOST
classicpoisonous pedagogy, as John Bradshaw calls it.
Lucy MaeveHOST
There, there are a lot of men who realize that the way they were raised wasn't right, that we should have feelings, that we should care about other people's feelings, and those men are very active if they're given an opportunity to seek out knowledge, help, and understanding.
Eve StanwayGUEST
Mm.
Patty AuberyGUEST
There was one, we actually had put our stuff in a booth at this event.
Patty AuberyGUEST
This guy's name was Peter Begso and he owned a small recovery publishing company and he did John Bradshaw's books.
Patty AuberyGUEST
He had something called US Journal Health Communications.
Patty AuberyGUEST
So they did a lot of trade stuff for recovery.
Brittany BrattersteinHOST
It's just going to sound like it for a second.
Brittany BrattersteinHOST
There's this man, his name's Dr. John Bradshaw.
Brittany BrattersteinHOST
And if that name sounds familiar to you, it's because he is a famous author.
Brittany BrattersteinHOST
He wrote a book called Healing the Inner Child.
