The C.E.T. Podcast is a space for slowing down and listening beneath the noise. Rooted in Cultural Effectiveness Training (C.E.T.), this podcast explores how awareness and sensitivity live in the body—and how our nervous systems carry personal, cultural, and historical stories long before we have language for them.

Through reflective conversations, lived experience, and gentle inquiry, each episode invites listeners to examine trauma, neurodiversity, power, belonging, and healing without collapsing into “us vs. them” narratives. This is not about fixing people. It’s about understanding what shaped us, honoring survival, and learning how to relate with more presence, dignity, and coherence.

The C.E.T. Podcast is for anyone curious about becoming more human—with themselves, with others, and within the systems we live inside.

Tuning the Dial: Bipolar II, ADHD, and the Practice of C. E. T. – Cultural Effectiveness Training Podcast

In this episode, Sir Aaron Mason shares a deeply personal reflection on living with bipolar II, ADHD, and complex trauma inside one nervous system. Through the metaphor of an old radio dial, Sir Aaron explores the constant process of tuning—seeking a frequency that isn’t perfect, but livable—and how both ends of the spectrum, hypomania and depression, can be equally uncomfortable.Drawing from lived experience, Sir Aaron introduces C. E. T.—Cultural Effectiveness Training not as a theoretical model, but as a practice rooted in awareness, sensitivity, and nervous-system coherence. He speaks openly about how skills from DBT, mindfulness, and the observing self help him remain present during mood shifts, think dialectically, and hold both pain and possibility at the same time.This episode offers a compassionate, non-pathologizing lens on neurodivergence, creativity, and survival, and invites listeners to reconsider what regulation, progress, and healing can look like when the goal is not control, but relationship with the self.For anyone who has ever felt “too much,” out of sync, or misunderstood by systems never designed for their nervous system, this conversation is a reminder: you’re not broken—you may simply be tuned differently.
