Psychology on Trial – The Truth Behind "AI Psychosis" In this episode of Hardcore Christianity broadcasting from Phoenix, Arizona, host Brother Mike (a counselor at the Arizona Deliverance Center) tackles the intersection of mental health, artificial intelligence, and spiritual warfare. Key Takeaways The Claim on "AI Psychosis": Brother Mike introduces a concept he claims the American Psychological Association (APA) has warned about: AI Psychosis. He describes it as a phenomenon where heavy, overwhelming interaction with AI chatbots (like ChatGPT) triggers, worsens, or validates delusions and paranoia, causing vulnerable users to believe the AI is alive or issuing commands. Biblical Parallels to Psychotic Breaks: The episode draws historical and biblical parallels to modern-day mental health crises. Brother Mike examines major "psychotic breaks" in scripture, pointing to King Saul’s emotional torment by an evil spirit in 1 Samuel and King Nebuchadnezzar’s temporary loss of his mind and exile to the fields in Daniel 4. The Spiritual Perspective on Illness: From a deliverance ministry standpoint, the host asserts that chronic physical or mental illnesses that do not respond to medical treatment are heavily driven by spiritual or demonic infection. He argues that AI isolates users, erodes real-world social skills, and makes people susceptible to these spiritual attacks. AI and Prophecy: The episode concludes with an interpretation of the Book of Revelation. Brother Mike posits that the biblical prophecy of the False Prophet bringing a statue of the Antichrist to life will actually be achieved through modern Artificial Intelligence, setting the stage for the end times. About the Host & Ministry Brother Mike offers free Christian counseling services for born-again Christians through the Arizona Deliverance Center, a red brick building located on 15th Avenue just south of Osborn Road in downtown Phoenix. Services Mentioned: Ladies' Night (Tuesdays at 6:30 PM), Live Services (Thursdays/Fridays at 7:00 PM), and Worship Services (Saturdays at 4:30 PM).

Dr. James JC Cooley along with Co-Host Dr. Michael Mantell- renowned and esteemed mental health architect and prolific author have a sit-down conversation with Dr. Debbie Joffe Ellis -licensed psychologist, licensed mental health counselor, presenter, writer and adjunct professor at Columbia University and Robin W. Thorburn - Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist. Show Summary Today’s show discusses Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), developed by Albert Ellis, which teaches that emotional suffering is often intensified not only by difficult events themselves but by the beliefs and interpretations we attach to those events. REBT helps lessen emotional pain by identifying irrational thoughts, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and replacing them with more realistic and flexible ways of thinking. Dr. Debbie Joffe Ellis Biography Dr. Debbie Joffe Ellis was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. New York City has been her home base for the past two decades. She is a licensed psychologist (Australia), licensed mental health counselor (New York), presenter, writer and adjunct professor at Columbia University in New York City where she teaches Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Comparative Psychotherapies. For years she worked with her husband, the brilliant and renowned pioneer of modern cognitive therapies: Dr Albert Ellis, giving public presentations and professional trainings in his approach of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), as well as collaborating with him on writing and research projects until his death in 2007. Before his passing he stated and wrote that he entrusted her to continue his work. She is recognized as a world-renowned expert on REBT, and regularly presents, throughout the USA and in countries around the world, to students, academics, practitioners in the helping professions, and to members of the general public. She wrote the second edition of the book Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (published 2019) that she co-wrote with her husband in its first edition. She is also featured in a DVD produced by the American Psychological Association (APA) demonstrating and discussing the REBT approach. She has written chapters for various text books, articles, and has reviewed publications for APA’s PsycCritiques Journal. In 2014 she was named “Legend in Counseling” at the American Counseling Association annual conference, and has received various other awards and acknowledgments for her work. She recently was nominated by former American Psychological Association President, Dr Frank Farley, and renowned psychologist and author, Dr Stanley Krippner, to receive the American Psychological Association's International Division's "Global Citizen Award". She joyfully and passionately continues her mission of informing as many people as possible - through her presentations, teaching, writing, and the ways she strives to ‘walk her talk’ - that each one of us has the power to create our emotional destinies despite and including challenging circumstances, and through teaching the ‘how-to’s’ of doing so!

When the world tells you who you should be, how do you come home to your authentic self? Can you be both stressed and blessed at the same time, or must you choose one? How do we find room for joy and celebration while facing collective suffering and oppression? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Dr. Thema Bryant, a trauma recovery expert and 2023 President of the American Psychological Association (APA), for a deeply reflective conversation on identity, faith, and the process of "Homecoming." Dr. Bryant shares her personal journey growing up with ministers who practiced liberation theology, which is about the community and the collective, not just the individual and God. This led her to discover liberation psychology, focusing on context and systems to empower everyone. She also discusses how her childhood home was like her "first time working at like a crisis hotline" and how moving to Liberia, West Africa, gave her confidence from seeing people who looked like her in positions of authority. Together, they explore how stress, trauma, and oppression disconnect us from ourselves, the meaning of her podcast and book Homecoming, and how to cultivate joy while working for justice. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why "Homecoming" is about liberation and coming back to yourself, even for the first time How healthy relationships and spaces are required for you to be able to come back to yourself The difference between coping with trauma and healing from it Why avoidance in therapy prevents healing and the value of trauma-focused and somatic therapy. How liberation psychology recognizes that systems (like media and educational systems) affect us, beyond just personal issues. The connection between the desire for control (or "busy-ness") and past trauma or anxiety. The importance of self-care practices like quiet time to stay grounded and not be easily moved by others' opinions. That true worthiness and sacredness are not tied to performance. The difference between "God-fearing" and believing in a loving God This episode is a powerful reminder that while stress and oppression may disconnect us, liberation is possible. Healing isn't about becoming someone new; it's about remembering, accepting, and appreciating who you were before the world told you who to be. You hold the special sauce within you. Dr. Thema Bryant's Matters of the Heart is a guide to healing your relationship with yourself and the people you love.

Do you long for something deeper in your life? Are you innately drawn toward spirituality and curious about what you may find? Do you think we as humans are naturally wired to search for deeper meaning in our lives? Whether it be a walk in the woods, or through mediation or prayer, our guest today, Dr. Lisa Miller, believes that we are naturally able to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around us. We are able to cultivate circuits in our brains which help us to become more spiritually aware. By developing this awareness, we can begin to free ourselves from depression, anxiety, loss of creativity, and so much more. We can consider things from a more awakened, more elevated perspective. Dr. Miller believes when we feel depressed, this is an alert asking us for deeper spiritual exploration.    Dr. Miller is a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, where she founded the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League graduate program and research institute in spirituality and psychology. She has been with the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical School for more than a decade.    Dr. Miller is the NYT bestselling author of "The Spiritual Child" and her latest book is "The Awakened Brain." She is the Editor of the Oxford University Press Handbook of Psychology and Spirituality, Founding Co-Editor-in-Chief of the APA journal "Spirituality in Clinical Practice," an elected Fellow of The American Psychological Association (APA) and the two-time President of the APA Society for Psychology and Spirituality.

Summer is in full-swing and with that, if you're fortunate enough, comes...vacation!  But before you buy those tickets and book those flights, it's important to get prepared, and we're not just talking about your packing list. We often associate vacation with rest and relaxation - but if that's the case, why do so many people get sick towards the end of their "relaxation vacation"? In fact, 66% of Americans report that they feel stressed before, during, or after a vacation, according to the American Psychological Association (APA). It's so important to make the most of the time and money we have, so the BrainStim gang is discussing a crucial checklist of preparation to ensure vacations bring the restoration they're anticipated to bring, instead of stress and sickness.

Bonnie is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Washington state as well as a nationally registered and board certified art therapist.  As an undergrad in psychology and art, Bonnie knew she wanted to help people but was initially hesitant to take on the graduate school needed to become an art therapist.  After years of working with organizations helping connect people with the resources they needed, Bonnie was tired of referring clients to others for help and took the plunge on her own education.  After 3-4 years of grad school and 2 more years of post graduate training she was able to provide art therapy services to those in need, with a focus on chronic illness and cancer care.  She now works with adults providing art therapy services to help those with chronic conditions process their experience in a new way. Alongside Katie, another therapist working with patients with chronic pain (including the host of this program), Bonnie co-founded Dream Big Wellness.  This 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was dedicated to helping people with chronic pain, chronic illness, and cancer care access art therapy and mental health care services as they navigate the healthcare system.  Today, with a team of 7 clinicians and 4 board members, they provide services to Washington state focused in the Seattle area.  Through Dream Big Wellness, they provide unique opportunities for patients to express their emotions, struggles, and symptoms using art instead of words.  This process can often help find new ways to express hard to convey truths and a new way to think about experiences through different perspectives. In this episode of the Major Pain Podcast we talk with Bonnie about the many benefits of art therapy and mental health care for those dealing with loss, grief, depression, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety.  Chronic illness can be such a large part of a person's lived experience, and art therapy can help escape that sense of isolation.  Patients can gain understanding of their own experiences and new ways to communicate them to loved ones and care providers alike. Connect with Dream Big Wellness online at https://www.dreambigwellness.org/ While Dream Big Wellness serves patients within Washington state, there are many great organizations throughout the rest of the US. Arttherapy.org, the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB.org), the American Psychological Association (APA.org), and Psychology Today all provide ways to find the right therapist for you.

Do you long for something more in your life? Are you innately drawn toward spirituality? Do you think we as humans are naturally wired to look for deeper meaning in our lives? Whether it be a walk in the woods, or through mediation or prayer, our guest today, Dr. Lisa Miller, believes that we are naturally able to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around us. We are able to cultivate circuits in our brains which help us to become more spiritually aware. By developing this awareness, we can begin to free ourselves from depression, anxiety, loss of creativity, and so much more. We can consider things from a more awakened, more elevated perspective. Dr. Miller believes when we feel depressed, this is an alert asking us for deeper spiritual exploration.  Dr. Miller is a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, where she founded the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League graduate program and research institute in spirituality and psychology. She has been with the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical School for more than a decade.  Dr. Miller is the NYT bestselling author of “The Spiritual Child” and her latest book is “The Awakened Brain.” She is the Editor of the Oxford University Press Handbook of Psychology and Spirituality, Founding Co-Editor-in-Chief of the APA journal “Spirituality in Clinical Practice,” an elected Fellow of The American Psychological Association (APA) and the two-time President of the APA Society for Psychology and Spirituality.

Dr. Michael Treadway is the Winship Distinguished Research Professor in Psychology and Director of Clinical Training in the Department of Psychology at Emory University. He is also affiliated with the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory. One of the aims of Michael's lab is to investigate how the brain makes decisions about where to invest your effort and whether something you want is worth the work it will take to get it. The second aim of Michael's research is to examine this process in people with conditions like major depression. His goal is to understand how the relevant circuitry in the brain typically works, and how the circuitry changes in depression, leading to a different set of decisions. This work has the potential to help identify new targets for interventions. Outside of science, Michael and his wife love spending time with their two young children and playing games together, particularly card games. He also enjoys playing the piano, listening to music, and going to live music performances.

What does happen when we die? Could it be it is an altered state of consciousness? The American Psychological Association (APA) has recently published a book entitled “Death is an Altered State of Consciousness – A Scientific Review which states “from all of the phenomena we have studied in the past 150 years, it seems the spirit is fully functioning after death”. This would lead us to believe that death may then be just an altered state of consciousness.Join us today as Karen Herrick and I discuss this concept.Karen Herrick can be reached for consultation via the following links:kareneherrick.comgrandmawhatisasoul.com

I am soooo sorry for being late this week. The weekend was busy with work, hospitals and call. Forgive me. JOIN OUR PANEL OF MEN AS WE DISCUSS MENTAL HEALTH. It gets personal and all of these men have sexy brains! Join us for this panel discussion that is full of gems and will keep you laughing. Join CEOs, a physician, a lawyer, and a mental health professional. Mental health is a critical issue for Black men in the United States, with unique challenges and disparities compared to other groups. Here are some key statistics and insights regarding Black men and mental health: 1. **Prevalence of Mental Health Issues**: Black men are less likely to report mental health issues, but they experience mental health challenges at comparable or higher rates than other groups. The American Psychological Association (APA) indicates that Black men are more likely to experience serious psychological distress. 2. **Depression and Anxiety**: Black men are less likely to be diagnosed with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder compared to white men, but they often experience these conditions in silence due to stigma and cultural attitudes. Research suggests that about 6.4% of Black men have depression and 10.8% have anxiety disorders, but these numbers may be underreported. 3. **Suicide Rates**: Suicide rates among Black men have been rising. According to the CDC, Black men aged 20-44 saw a significant increase in suicide rates from 2014 to 2019. Although Black men have lower suicide rates compared to white men overall, the rates are increasing faster among Black men. 4. **Stigma and Cultural Barriers**: Mental health stigma is particularly strong in the Black community, often leading to reluctance to seek help. Cultural beliefs about masculinity and strength can prevent Black men from acknowledging mental health issues and seeking treatment. 5. **Access to Care**: Black men are less likely to receive mental health treatment. Only about 26.4% of Black men with mental illness receive treatment compared to 45.4% of white men. Barriers to care include lack of access to mental health services, socioeconomic factors, and mistrust of the healthcare system. 6. **Substance Abuse**: Black men are at higher risk for substance use disorders, which can co-occur with mental health issues. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that Black men have higher rates of illicit drug use compared to the general population. 7. **Incarceration and Mental Health**: Black men are disproportionately affected by the criminal justice system. Incarceration rates are significantly higher for Black men, and the experience of incarceration can exacerbate mental health issues. Additionally, mental health services in correctional facilities are often inadequate. 8. **Impact of Racism**: Structural racism and discrimination contribute significantly to mental health disparities. The chronic stress associated with experiencing racism can lead to mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 9. **Youth and Mental Health**: Black boys and adolescents face unique mental health challenges, including higher rates of exposure to violence and trauma. This early exposure can lead to long-term mental health issues if not addressed. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brainlove/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brainlove/support

Can spirituality enhance our mental health? That is the question that psychologist and researcher Dr. Lisa Miller has pursued through her career. During her clinical internship after graduate school, she observed how while some of her patients had symptoms of major depression that required medication, other patients carried a sadness that carried life's big questions: What is the purpose of life? Is there a larger meaning to existence? Decades later, Lisa has found that each of us has an “awakened brain,” neural circuitry that enables a human's natural capacity for spiritual awareness. In this conversation, Lisa and the Surgeon General delve into the science that explains spirituality's protective effects on mental health. They also discuss the universal human need for an inner life that connects us to something greater than ourselves, and offer a few meditation practices to support the awakened brain.  (02:00)    Introductory Guided Meditation  (08:43)    What is spiritual health?  (15:04)    How does Dr. Lisa Miller define spirituality?  (18:18)    Why does spirituality protect our mental health?  (20:55)    What are some practices to build spiritual health?  (24:40)    What is the awakened brain?  (26:56)    Are there particular stages of life when spiritual seeking spikes?  (30:03)    What is an Awakened Campus?  (32:44)    Why don't college campuses focus more on spiritual well-being?  (34:26)    How Dr. Miller's spiritual crisis as a young person become her life's work.  (45:55)    What are the core elements of spirituality?  (53:12)    Where has Dr. Miller found the support for spiritual exploration?  (59:58)    How can parents build a spiritual foundation with their children?  We'd love to hear from you!
