Warum verläuft eine Depression bei manchen Menschen chronisch über Jahre, während andere wieder vollständig genesen? Häufig liegt die Antwort nicht nur in der Gegenwart, sondern in Erfahrungen der Kindheit. In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, warum das Erleben von verschiedenen Trauma-Arten – der entscheidende Faktor für schwerere Verläufe ist und warum eine reine Symptombekämpfung nicht immer ausreicht. Quelle: Negele, A., et al.

People (parents, grandparents, other relatives, friends, etc.), may have contributed to how you think, feel, and acted as a child but as an adult if you stay on a negative path that is by choice. If you were a victim in your childhood and you continue to be a victim in your adulthood, that falls on you. If you're a victim who've turned into a a person who victimize others, that's by choice! If you get in and stay in an unhealthy relationship, it's by choice! Brokenness leads to insecurities and false beliefs. It prevents people from healing, learning self-love, and obtaining mental maturity. Whatever you choose as an adult is a choice! You're the only one who's responsible for what or for who you've chosen to become!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

Pastor Kim shares a message about growing up as a follower of Jesus Christ. He speaks about three ideas: The highchair, the Driver's License, and the Professor. These relate to the three stages of spiritual growth found in 1 John 2, little children, young men, and fathers. God never intended that we remain in the highchair. God saved us to grow us. It is important that we take a look at our spiritual lives and see if we are maturing as a believer.

Susie is throwing a party and would like you people to start RSVP-ing. Do people think that is optional?? We try to figure out why Sarah dated so many narcissists and we decide whether that's why she likes Susie (lol).

Sarah asks a really thought-provoking question: what was the last CD we ever bought, and we can't quit thinking about it.

Do you often struggle to focus, lose track of time, forget everyday tasks, or feel mentally overwhelmed—only to be told you're lazy, careless, or simply not trying hard enough?For many adults, ADHD goes undiagnosed for years because its signs are often misunderstood or mistaken for personality traits. The result is frustration, self-doubt, and the feeling that something just isn't working the way it should.In this episode of Understanding Adulthood, we explore what ADHD looks like in adults, how it differs from childhood ADHD, and why so many people receive a diagnosis much later in life. We discuss the impact ADHD can have on work, relationships, emotional wellbeing, and daily routines, while also examining the role of social media, the assessment process, treatment options, and practical strategies for managing symptoms.Whether you're questioning your own experiences, supporting someone with ADHD, or simply want to understand the condition better, this episode offers expert insights that replace stigma with understanding.Because understanding yourself is the first step toward finding the support you need.Guest: Dr Purnima nagaraja Host: Sandy Sound: Mahesh R.Producer: Archita Puranik

TDA The David Alliance Garth Heckman   The transition to adulthood has changed dramatically. Between the rapid rise of digital technology—which often replaces face-to-face community with screens—and the shifting structures of family and labor, the traditional "scripts" for how to grow up as a man have largely been dismantled. To build a healthy, successful, and purposeful life today, young men should focus on five critical areas of awareness, backed by sociology, psychology, and modern research. 1. Redefining Purpose Beyond the "Sole Provider" Role For generations, the default script for masculinity was simple: be the primary financial provider and protector. As women have rightfully achieved rapid economic and educational progress, that old script has evolved. Many young men now struggle with feeling obsolete or "optional" when they are no longer expected to be the sole breadwinner. Young men need to understand that their value in a family and in a relationship is deeply personal, emotional, and cooperative—not just a paycheck. "The state of feeling unneeded is literally fatal. The best protector against despair is realizing that the world needs you." — Richard Reeves, President of the American Institute for Boys and Men (AIBM) Modern success means learning to be an equal, emotionally present partner and co-creator of a stable home, rather than holding onto an outdated, isolating provider model. 2. Transitioning from "Digital Retreat" to Real-World Agency With the rise of smartphones, immersive video games, online pornography, and social media, it has never been easier to escape the discomfort of real life. Researchers note that while young women struggling with mental health often report higher rates of internal anxiety, young men are more prone to "checking out" entirely—retreating into virtual worlds where they feel a false sense of control. To combat this, young adults must cultivate a mindful, active relationship with technology. The Wise Use Tech Plandeveloped by mental health professionals suggests the Three T's for managing tech: Tracking: Consciously observing how much you use your devices and how you feel afterward. Telling: Sharing your habits and feelings with trusted friends or mentors to build real-world accountability. Tuning In: Asking yourself if you are using screens to escape boredom, social anxiety, or the hard work of building a life. Success in the physical world requires stepping outside the screen, embracing the discomfort of real-world interactions, and taking active ownership of your daily life.

Click on Fan Mail link and give me feedback. ThanksIn this episode of ABC's Parenting Adult Children podcast, host James Moffitt speaks with Kenneth Mims, founder of the Neurodiversity Education Research Center and Science Prep Academy. They discuss the importance of inclusive education for autistic learners, the challenges faced by parents and educators, and the innovative teaching methods employed at Mims' school. Kenneth shares his personal journey with autism, the societal changes in understanding neurodiversity, and the need for policy changes to support autistic individuals. The conversation emphasizes the importance of a strength-based approach to autism, the mental health challenges faced by autistic individuals, and the critical role of parents in advocating for their children.TakeawaysKenneth Mims emphasizes the importance of a strength-based approach to autism.Parents often go through a grieving process after a diagnosis.The Neurodiversity Education Research Center aims to advocate for policy changes.Society's understanding of neurodiversity has improved but still has a long way to go.Innovative teaching methods are crucial for supporting autistic learners.Mental health support is essential for autistic individuals transitioning to adulthood.Parents need to balance their expectations with their child's potential.Community engagement is vital for raising awareness about neurodiversity.Autism is often misunderstood as an intellectual disability, which is incorrect.Legislators need to be more aware of the needs of neurodivergent individuals.Sound bites"I discovered autism as a strength.""It's really just getting started.""Autism is an invisible disability."Chapters00:00 Introduction to Neurodiversity Education01:50 Inspiration Behind STEM Education for Autistic Learners05:39 The Evolution of Education for Neurodivergent Individuals08:05 Personal Experiences Shaping Advocacy and Teaching10:22 Innovative Education Models for Autistic Learners12:12 Understanding Autism in Classroom Behavior15:59 Media Representation of Autism20:11 Core Messages from A Mother's Guide to Autism22:31 Navigating Parental Emotions and Expectations27:39 Supporting Transition to Adulthood for Autistic Individuals32:31 Challenges in Workforce Integration for Neurodivergent Individuals35:48 Policy Changes Needed for Neurodiversity AdvocacyKennethMims.com – My WordPress BlogRichard Jones.

I also get into a frustrating parenting situation, why some boundaries are worth disappointing people over, and why protecting your peace sometimes means simply deciding you're done.***Email: autisticang38@gmail.comAdult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social(Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaterlyInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.comThreads: threads.net/@autisticang38

In a world that never seems to slow down, escaping reality has become easier than ever. A few more minutes on social media. One more episode. Another game. Another distraction.But when does taking a break become avoiding the life we're trying to live?In this episode of Understanding Adulthood, we explore why so many adults feel the need to escape their everyday reality and what drives this growing desire to disconnect. From chronic stress, unrealistic expectations, and emotional overwhelm to the role of technology and digital distractions, we examine how escapism can quietly become a coping mechanism.The conversation also looks at the difference between healthy breaks and unhealthy avoidance, the impact escapism can have on relationships, careers, and mental wellbeing, and how mindfulness, self-awareness, and small daily habits can help us reconnect with the present.Because facing reality isn't about having all the answers—it's about finding the courage to take the next step, even when life feels uncertain.A thoughtful conversation about resilience, self-awareness, and learning to be present in a world full of distractions.Expert: Dr Purnima NagarajaHost: SandySound: Mahesh R.Producer: Archita Puranik #TALRadio #UnderstandingAdulthood #DrPurnimaNagaraja #MentalHealth #EmotionalWellbeing #Mindfulness #SelfAwareness #PersonalGrowth #EmotionalHealth #StressManagement #Resilience #LifeSkills #MentalWellness #Psychology #SelfCare #TALRadioEnglish

[Recorded on 07/02/26] We spend over 50% of our lives working between careers, personal upkeep, and serving others. Many young adults in today's world, though, have an unhealthy relationship with their work. However, God is a God of work, and created us in His image through work and to work and for work. Come check out week 1 of our series "Jesus in the Working World" as we look at God's design for our work.

Why are some emotions accepted while others are judged? Why is anger often seen as strength, while sadness is dismissed as weakness? And why are boundaries sometimes mistaken for disrespect?In this episode of Understanding Adulthood, we explore how society shapes our understanding of "acceptable" behaviour and the silent rules that influence how we express ourselves. From cultural expectations and gender stereotypes to the impact of social media, we examine why certain behaviours are rewarded while others are criticised.The conversation also explores people-pleasing, emotional suppression, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and the challenge of unlearning behaviours we've been conditioned to accept as normal. Most importantly, we discuss how self-awareness can help us replace harmful patterns with healthier ways of relating to ourselves and others.This is a thoughtful conversation about authenticity, emotional wellbeing, and redefining what healthy behaviour looks like in today's world.Because growing into adulthood isn't just about learning new behaviours—it's also about unlearning the ones that no longer serve us.Expert: Dr Purnima NagrajaHost: SandySound: Mahesh R.Producer: Archita puranik

This week on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen talk about adult sibling relationships and why growing up in the same family doesn't always mean growing up with the same experience. They explore how family roles, parentification, favoritism, and changing family dynamics can shape sibling relationships long after childhood.They answer listener questions about feeling responsible for younger siblings, navigating resentment toward a "golden child" sibling, and having difficult conversations without blame. They also discuss what happens when your emotional growth outpaces your family, how to avoid getting pulled into triangulation, and why siblings often experience the same parents in completely different ways.The conversation also covers the eldest daughter dynamic, repairing relationships after years of distance, and how to let go of roles that may have helped you survive childhood but no longer serve you as an adult.Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

If watching "Adolescence" on Netflix left you feeling worried about your son, this episode will help you turn your concerns into action. Dr. Lisa Damour breaks down what the show gets exactly right about adolescent boys: why they're emotionally constrained by culture, how that vulnerability gets exploited by toxic online figures like Andrew Tate, and what parents can do right now to connect with their sons. This is our most-watched episode ever on YouTube — and we think you'll understand why.

We explore familiar objects that have achieved perfection—from blue jeans to the perfume bottle—and which ones resonate with us most. We also explore whether people are socializing more since Covid, or if it's just to Elizabeth.
