"Welcome to Transforming Minds, where we explore emotional well-being and personal growth. I’m Dr. Brian Ragsdale, and today’s topic is one that many struggle with—trusting yourself again.
Maybe you’ve made mistakes, ignored red flags, or felt betrayed by your own decisions. If so, you’re not alone. But self-trust isn’t about being perfect—it’s about rebuilding confidence in your ability to make choices that serve you. Let’s dive into how we lose trust in ourselves and, more importantly, how we can regain it."

Emotional Outsourcing: Why Some People Avoid Doing the Work in Relationships
Why do some people seek relationships not for connection, but as an escape from their own emotional work? In this episode of Transforming Minds, the first episode in Season 2, we explore the phenomenon of emotional outsourcing—when someone looks to their partner to carry their pain instead of processing it themselves.
Dr. Brian Ragsdale unpacks the reasons behind this pattern, how to recognize it, and how to protect your energy while fostering healthier connections. Whether you’ve been in this dynamic or want to ensure you never get caught in it, this episode will help you navigate relationships with clarity and confidence.
