Trained as a grief counselor, Cuoco uses his knowledge and skills to make his guests on his show feel more comfortable about opening up and discussing these hard subjects, which ultimately can help the guests and the listeners to feel empowered to overcome their past. “The essence of the book lies in its authenticity, inviting readers to interpret and feel the words through their lens.”
Steven Cuoco’s journey to where he is now was challenging. His career deals with a lot of vulnerability and communication, something that can be difficult given the trauma he went through when he was young. His radio show allows his guests to open up and do something therapeutic which he found very helpful during his journey. He also recognizes that his listeners are greatly impacted by his ability to open up and his guests, and he hopes that his show makes them feel less alone. “I am immensely grateful to each guest who entrusted me with their stories and experiences. Interviewing my guests has not only broadened my perspective but has also allowed me to learn valuable lessons from those who placed their trust in me. I appreciate the opportunity to be a source of support and understanding for my guests and the audience alike.”, said Cuoco.
When asked about his hopes and intentions for his radio show Cuoco said the following:
“The genesis of my radio show, ‘Live On Air with Steven Cuoco,’ stemmed from a desire to create a platform where guests could feel secure expressing themselves. Through impactful conversations, I aimed to establish building blocks for open dialogue, reassuring individuals that they are not alone. The show serves to provide valuable information and insights that may potentially aid others listening.”
“My aspiration is that listeners come to realize and be reminded that they are not alone in their experiences. Acknowledging that their feelings are normal and receiving a reminder that it is acceptable to ask for help without self-judgment or fear of judgment from others can be an invaluable gift capable of altering one’s life permanently. As individuals grasp the tools they’ve acquired, they are further empowered to assist others in enhancing their lives, fostering an environment of openness, and facilitating healing.”
Cuoco emphasizes the importance of asking for help, and he shares this message with his listeners, both on his show and in his book.
“Understanding the importance of communication was a crucial lesson I continually absorbed and reinforced for personal growth. Recognizing that healthy communication was essential for fostering connections and developing a sense of appreciation in my relationships with those around me who genuinely wanted the best for me.”
Along with that, establishing a support system is crucial, for many people that doesn’t mean their blood family, but can be anyone they love and trust. There are also many therapeutic options for people overcoming struggles of their own. Some of these include journaling, which Cuoco has found very useful, and is what ultimately led to his book being published. Cuoco also said, “Another therapy worth exploring is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which under therapeutic guidance can help reduce stress reactions to traumatic memories.”
Cuoco hadn’t initially planned on releasing the book, it was a means of therapy, but he recognized how important and helpful books like his are. He does have aspirations of writing a novel to be adapted into a film but was encouraged to release this book first. He is continuing to explore this medium of storytelling with a three-part series, the “United Angels Dream” series, as well as the release of a second book later this year. “This venture, born out of therapeutic writing, has become a meaningful expression of my personal and creative evolution.”
“My book, ‘Guided Transformation: Poems, Quotes, and Inspiration,’ stands as an international best-seller, capturing a collection of writings spanning various stages of my life when I was immersed in therapeutic writing. These pages hold memories of my emotions at different points in time, reflecting moments of inspiration, encouragement, enlightenment, and personal perspectives shaped by my evolving self-awareness.”
