Why Me?: The Brain on Tilt by Dr David Arthur Kent https://www.amazon.com/Why-Me-David-Arthur-Kent/dp/B0FZSF5PW4 Davidkentauthor.com This book provides a comprehensive overview of mental illness, emphasizing that these conditions are biological and medical in nature, not signs of weakness or moral failings. It focuses heavily on evidence-based treatment, detailing how recovery is possible for conditions ranging from depression and OCD to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, often through a combination of medication, psychotherapy (such as CBT, DBT, and ERP), and innovative biological interventions like TMS and ECT. A critical theme is the essential role of family support and education in improving outcomes and reducing relapse rates, alongside the need to combat stigma which remains a major barrier to seeking timely and effective help. The book illustrates these concepts through detailed case studies of individuals managing chronic illnesses successfully, redefining recovery as functional improvement rather than chasing a complete cure.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Why can't I just relax in this relationship?” Nothing dramatic has happened. There hasn't been an affair. No obvious betrayal. And yet you feel on edge. You double-check. You scan for signs. You wonder if something is wrong, even when everything seems fine. Trust issues in relationships do not always start with a fresh wound. Sometimes they are rooted in past hurt. Sometimes they grow out of relational trauma you thought you had already worked through. And sometimes they show up as relationship anxiety that refuses to settle down, even with a good partner. In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, we're talking about what trust issues actually are and what they are not. We'll unpack why hypervigilance, reassurance-seeking, and worst-case thinking can quietly strain a healthy relationship, and why that reaction makes sense when you understand what your nervous system has been through. We'll also explore the difference between a real red flag and a trauma trigger, how attachment patterns shape your sense of safety, and what it truly takes to deal with trust issues in a way that builds secure connection instead of pushing love away. As you listen, gently ask yourself: Is this fear about what's happening right now, or about something that happened before? You deserve to feel secure, confident, and emotionally safe in your relationships. Learning how to deal with trust issues is not about becoming less sensitive. It is about becoming more grounded and more secure in yourself.

Our dialogue delves into the intricacies of anxiety and the underlying emotions that often fuel it. I invite listeners to reflect on their relationship with anxiety and how to discern the subtle messages it communicates.A significant focus of our discussion is the Hidden Emotion Model—a technique I learned and refined during my training that unveils the repressed feelings driving anxiety. Dr. Burns eloquently explains how individuals, often conscientious and "nice," suppress emotions like fear, anger, and disappointment, which leads to heightened anxiety. By recognizing and articulating these hidden emotions, individuals can often alleviate their anxiety significantly. Dr. Burns shares a compelling vignette involving a man struggling with panic attacks after receiving unexpected news about parenthood. This example illustrates the necessity of acknowledging uncomfortable emotions to pave the way for healing.Our conversation also touches on the societal stigmas surrounding emotional expression, particularly for those who identify as "nice" people. Dr. Burns and I explore how mental health diagnostics can inadvertently contribute to feelings of shame and inadequacy among patients. It's a powerful reminder that many who battle anxiety face not only internal struggles but external societal pressures that may dictate how they should feel or behave.#Anxiety, #PanicAttacks, #MentalHealth, #CBT, #DrDavidBurns, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #FeelingGood, #FeelingGreat, #Psychology, #Mindfulness, #SelfHelp, #Recovery, #Wellness, #Healing, #StressRelief, #InnerPeace, #MentalWellness, #SelfCare, #Therapy, #Coaching, #EmotionalIntelligence, #NervousSystem, #OvercomingAnxiety, #PanicDisorder, #SocialAnxiety, #MentalHealthAwareness, #EndTheStigma, #GrowthMindset, #Authenticity, #Boundaries, #SelfLove, #IntrusiveThoughts, #OCD, #HealthAnxiety, #MindfulLiving, #Breathwork, #Meditation, #Zen, #Spirituality, #PersonalGrowth, #Resilience, #Empowerment, #HealthyMind, #AnxietyRelief, #StressManagement, #Psychotherapy, #Counseling, #WellnessJourney, #LifeCoaching, #MentalHealthMatters, #AnxietySupportSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Use code HEHE at https://cozyearth.com/ for 20% off your order and treat yourself to the sleep you've been dreaming of. In this episode, HeHe sits down with Dr. Kristin Lasseter to unpack perinatal mental health with a focus on postpartum anxiety (PPA) versus postpartum depression (PPD), how they differ, and when “baby blues” may signal something more. While mood shifts are common in the early postpartum days, symptoms that persist beyond a couple of weeks, disrupt sleep, bring constant anxiety or sadness, intrusive thoughts, or thoughts of death deserve real support. They talk candidly about the guilt, shame, and fear of judgment that keep many women silent, and why telling one safe person can be a powerful first step. The conversation explores common risk factors like fertility struggles, pregnancy or birth complications, and PMDD, along with the significant hormonal shift that happens after the placenta is delivered and why the brain can feel especially vulnerable during that window. HeHe and Dr. Lasseter also navigate the often-stigmatized topic of psychiatric medication during pregnancy and postpartum. They discuss why abruptly stopping medication is usually unsafe, how to thoughtfully weigh medication risks against the risks of untreated mental illness, what research tells us about breastfeeding compatibility, and what to expect when starting or adjusting treatment. They touch on newer, faster-acting postpartum depression options, therapy modalities like CBT and EMDR, and additional treatments such as TMS and ECT. The episode closes with an honest conversation about bounce-back culture, social media pressure, and choosing support systems that protect a mother's mental health. Throughout, the message is clear: evidence-based care matters, suffering in silence isn't a badge of honor, and there is no shame in using medication when it's needed. 0:00 - Introduction: Mental Health Medications in Pregnancy & Postpartum 4:36 - Postpartum Anxiety vs Postpartum Depression: Key Differences 6:01 - Normal Baby Blues vs Red Flags: When to Seek Help 9:51 - Intrusive Thoughts & Breaking the Stigma 17:26 - Medication Safety in Pregnancy: What You Need to Know 24:43 - Should You Stop Your Meds When Pregnant? 30:03 - Hormones & Mental Health: The Postpartum Crash 43:56 - Breastfeeding While on Psychiatric Medications 51:26 - How Long Should You Stay on Medication? 60:50 - Fighting the "Bounce Back" Culture & Social Media's Impact   Guest Bio: Kristin Yeung Lasseter, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist in Texas who specializes in Reproductive Psychiatry and Women's Mental Health.  She graduated cum laude from Southwestern University with a Bachelors of Science in Biology prior to attending medical school at the Long School of Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.

“Honesty doesn't have to be brutal. Honesty can be compassionate. Honesty can be respectful.” -Dr. Cory NewmanEpisode OverviewIn this episode, host Dr. Jennifer Reid sits down with Dr. Cory Newman, PhD to explore how the core principles of cognitive behavioral therapy can be woven into our everyday communication with partners, friends, family, coworkers, and even ourselves. What begins as a conversation about therapy technique quickly becomes a practical guide to navigating disagreements, setting boundaries, and showing up more compassionately in all our relationships.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Reid draws connections to her book Guilt Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations (Penguin Life, 2026), which examines how guilt—particularly for women—shapes our communication patterns, our willingness to set boundaries, and our capacity for self-compassion.15 Key Takeaways (Dr. Newman had so many life-changing recommendations, we wanted to make sure you could read about them even if you didn't have time to listen!)1. The Three Pillars of CBTDr. Newman describes CBT as resting on three foundational principles: * A supportive therapeutic alliance* A deep understanding of the patient's lived experience (including cultural and sociological factors)* The development of practical coping skills. These skills promote agency and problem-solving rather than hopelessness and helplessness.CBT Connection: The cognitive behavioral model emphasizes that thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are interconnected. By shifting how we think and what we do, we can change how we feel (Beck, 1979).2. Communication Is Both Internal and ExternalWe tend to think of communication as what we say to others, but Dr. Newman emphasizes that internal dialogue matters just as much. CBT helps people talk to themselves more compassionately, constructively, and hopefully. That same skill then translates outward into better interpersonal communication.He also distinguishes between expressive communication (how we speak) and receptive communication (how we listen), both of which are essential to healthy relationships.Guilt Free Connection: In Guilt Free, Dr. Reid explores how harsh internal dialogue, especially the relentless voice of “I should be doing more,” fuels excessive guilt. Learning to communicate with yourself compassionately is the first step toward breaking free from unreasonable expectations.3. Start with IntentEvery meaningful conversation benefits from a clear, positive intent: to boost morale, to connect, to offer something useful, to communicate understanding. Dr. Newman suggests that even outside of therapy, we can adopt the mindset that our goal in any interaction is to leave the other person, and the relationship, in a better state than when we started.CBT Connection: Intentional communication is a behavioral intervention. By deliberately choosing our communicative goals before speaking, we interrupt automatic patterns that often lead to conflict (Beck, 1995).4. Validity + Utility: The Two-Part Test for What We SayDr. Newman introduces a powerful filter: before speaking, ask whether your comment has both validity (is it truthful?) and utility (is it useful?). Truth alone can be harsh. He pushes back on the idea of “brutal honesty.”Guilt Free Connection: The validity-utility framework directly parallels the guilt equation in Guilt Free, where guilt = our expectations (whether fair or not) minus our perceived reality. Often, guilt-driven communication passes the validity test but fails the utility test. For example, we may say things out of obligation that don't help ourselves or others.5. Intent vs. Impact: Naming the MismatchSometimes people don't mean to cause harm, but their words land that way. Dr. Newman recommends naming the gap directly: “I don't think you're trying to put me down, but the message you're sending sounds like a put-down.” This approach acknowledges the other person's good faith while still making room for your experience.CBT Connection: Distinguishing between intent and impact is central to cognitive restructuring. Cognitive distortions like mind-reading and personalization often cause us to assume malicious intent where there is none (Burns, 1980).6. Seek to Understand Before Problem-SolvingWhen someone is in distress, the instinct is often to jump straight to fixing. Dr. Newman advises leading with empathy instead: “If I were thinking the way you're describing, I'd be a nervous wreck too.” Validate first, then gently offer alternative perspectives. Problem-solving is more effective once the person feels heard.Guilt Free Connection: Dr. Reid describes a pattern she sees frequently, which is people, especially women, catastrophizing about situations and layering guilt on top. The compassionate validation Dr. Newman describes is exactly the antidote: honor the feeling, question the expectation.7. Turn Complaints into RequestsAlmost any complaint can be reframed as a request, and requests are far easier to hear. Instead of “You never reply to my voicemail messages,” try: “I'd really appreciate hearing from you, even briefly. It's hard for me when I don't hear from you.”CBT Connection: This reframing technique is a classic behavioral strategy in CBT. Converting complaints into constructive requests shifts the dynamic from blame to collaboration (Gottman & Silver, 1999).Guilt Free Connection: Dr. Reid explores how maladaptive guilt can be manipulative, such as when guilt-tripping replaces genuine requests, and relationships can suffer. Assertive communication (making requests without guilting) is key to breaking that cycle.8. Silence Fills Vacuums with AssumptionsWhen we avoid communication to spare someone's feelings—say, not RSVPing to avoid disappointing a friend—we leave a vacuum that the other person fills with their own assumptions, which are usually worse than reality. Dr. Newman advises speaking the reality, even when it's uncomfortable, because silence invites personalization and catastrophizing.Guilt Free Connection: In Guilt Free, Dr. Reid identifies avoidance as a common guilt-driven behavior: we don't say no because we don't want to disappoint, but the silence itself creates a bigger problem. Communicating honestly, even imperfectly, is almost always better than disappearing.9. Beware All-or-Nothing Thinking in CommunicationDr. Newman applies one of CBT's most foundational concepts, challenging black-and-white thinking, to our communication habits. You don't have to choose between long silences and a 90-minute heart-to-heart. A quick text saying “Thinking of you” is a powerful middle ground. He calls these “random acts of kindness through text,” which are small gestures that send a meta-message of care.CBT Connection: All-or-nothing thinking is one of the most common cognitive distortions identified in CBT. Recognizing and challenging it opens up a range of behavioral options we might not have considered (Beck, 1976).10. Match the Medium to the MessageText messaging is ideal for quick logistics and small kindnesses, but it strips away tone of voice and body language. Dr. Newman shares a vivid example of a patient whose text “I don't care” (meaning “I don't mind”) sparked a major argument with his girlfriend. For emotional or complicated conversations, choose a medium with more cues, such as phone, video, or in person.His rule of thumb: The more emotional and the more complicated the topic, the more cues are needed.11. The Gottman 20-Minute RuleDrawing on research by John and Julie Gottman, Dr. Newman describes how physiological arousal (elevated heart rate, fight-or-flight activation) makes productive conversation impossible. The Gottmans recommend taking a break during heated arguments and not resuming until at least 20 minutes after your heart rate returns to baseline.Dr. Newman applies this to everyday life: if you receive a message that makes you angry, wait until you've calmed down before responding. Otherwise, frustration will leak through even your most careful words.CBT Connection: Self-monitoring of physiological arousal is a core CBT skill. The Gottman research demonstrates that behavioral interventions (taking a break) must precede cognitive interventions (discussing the issue) when the body is in a threat state.12. Resolve to Resolve—Not to WinDr. Newman highlights one of the most destructive communication patterns: trying to win an argument rather than resolve it. He references the devastating scene in the film Marriage Story where two characters escalate insults in an attempt to out-hurt each other. When the goal shifts from understanding to victory, everyone loses.CBT Connection: The belief “I must convince the other person I'm right” is a cognitive distortion that fuels conflict. CBT teaches that making your point respectfully is already a success. Change in the other person may come later, or not at all, and that's okay (Newman, 2014).13. Never Go to Bed Angry? Not So Fast.Both Dr. Reid and Dr. Newman agree that while the spirit of this advice is sound (don't harbor resentment) the literal application can be harmful. Insisting on resolving a conflict when one partner is exhausted is destructive. The person who needs to sleep should be honored. The meta-message is: don't stonewall, but do respect each other's limits. Use a placeholder: “I want to talk this through, but right now I can't yet.”Guilt Free Connection: This scenario is a guilt trap in action. The pressure to resolve everything immediately often comes from guilt (“A good partner wouldn't go to bed angry”). Dr. Reid's framework encourages questioning whether that expectation is fair and giving yourself permission to rest.14. Setting Boundaries Without GuiltWhen repeated attempts at respectful communication are met with resistance, such as the same pressure, the same guilt trips, it's appropriate to set a firm boundary. Dr. Newman advises doing so with care: “I'd like to talk to you, but not under these conditions. When you can show some respect for what I've said, let me know.” You can walk away from that interaction knowing you handled it with integrity.Guilt Free Connection: Dr. Reid identifies “hyper-accountability,”the belief that we can and should control other people's emotional experience, as a major driver of excessive guilt, especially for women. Letting go of the need to make everyone feel okay is essential to healthy boundary-setting.15. Say the Positive Things Out LoudDr. Newman closes with a deceptively simple but powerful reminder: don't keep positive thoughts to yourself. If you have a compliment, give it. If you feel affection, express it. And one of his favorite tips: talk positively about people behind their back. It often gets back to them and can shift the entire tone of your relationships.CBT Connection: Behavioral activation, which involves increasing positive interactions and reinforcement, is a foundational CBT technique for improving mood and strengthening relationships (Lewinsohn, 1974).Thanks for reading A Mind of Her Own!

Send a textNervous System episode with Lauren Starnes:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1027246/episodes/18786923Healing starts when we stop guessing and start listening to the body. We kick off a focused season by defining trauma in plain language, mapping the window of tolerance, and showing how the nervous system becomes both the alarm and the doorway back to calm. I share why misusing the word “trauma” muddies real suffering, how symptoms show up in bodies first, and what changes when we treat headaches, insomnia, gut pain, and tension as data instead of defects.From there, we unpack PTSD without blame. You'll hear how clinicians assess reliving, avoidance, mood shifts, and hyperarousal; why timing separates acute stress from PTSD; and how a clear name can reduce shame and open access to care. We also preview a body-led approach with co-host Lauren Starnes, the “trauma translator,” whose work centers on nervous system regulation so the mind can safely process what happened. Regulation before revelation becomes our guiding practice.Two listener questions bring this to ground. First, how to protect children from your own trauma: do the work, model repair, and let your regulation lead. Second, what to do after a harmful EMDR experience: safety is treatment, trust the rupture, and consider proven options like CPT, CBT, IFS, narrative therapy, and somatic skills. Throughout, we emphasize practical tools—grounding, paced breathing, orienting, and gentle movement—to discharge survival energy and widen your capacity.We close with news close to my heart: the launch of Victory Trauma Consulting, offering accessible one-on-one support, education for churches and workplaces, and pricing that meets people where they are. If you're ready to understand triggers and flashbacks, regulate your nervous system, and reclaim a life that feels abundant and free, join us. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so others can find these tools. Your body is speaking. Let's learn its language together.You ARE:SEEN KNOWN HEARD LOVED VALUED

Ep. 429: The Science Behind Intrusive Thoughts with Dr. Katayune Kaeni aka Dr. Kat In this episode of The Birth Lounge, HeHe sits down with perinatal psychologist Dr. Kat to have the conversation we don't have enough: the real, nuanced truth about mental health in pregnancy and postpartum. They break down the full spectrum of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, and postpartum psychosis. They cover what's common, what's urgent, and what deserves immediate support. A major focus of this conversation is intrusive thoughts. Dr. Kat explains that intrusive thoughts are incredibly common, especially postpartum. They are typically unwanted, distressing, and they don't reflect your true desires. But when thoughts become frequent, graphic, intense, or begin to interfere with daily functioning (like avoiding holding your baby out of fear), that's when it's time to reach out for professional support. HeHe shares personal examples and normalizes how sleep deprivation, hormonal shifts, stress, and identity changes can amplify anxiety and intrusive thoughts, while emphasizing that struggling does not mean you are broken. They discuss: How to tell the difference between common intrusive thoughts and something more serious Why suicide is the second leading cause of death in the postpartum period When therapy and/or medication are appropriate and valid tools How to talk to your partner and loved ones about not feeling like yourself Why reassurance alone may not be enough for severe anxiety or OCD How to use resources like Postpartum Support International The importance of proactive conversations during pregnancy This episode is compassionate, evidence-based, and deeply validating. If you have ever thought, “Why is my brain doing this?” or felt afraid to say your thoughts out loud, this conversation will help you understand what's happening, and remind you that support is not weakness. It is care. You deserve to feel safe in your own mind. Guest Bio: Katayune Kaeni, Psy.D. PMH-C, aka, Dr. Kat is a perinatal mental health certified psychologist, author of The Pregnancy Workbook: Manage Anxiety and Worry with CBT and Mindfulness Techniques, and host of the Mom & Mind Podcast, the longest-running perinatal mental health podcast since 2016, covering perinatal mental health personal stories and expert interviews. She volunteers her time, serving on the board of Postpartum Support International (PSI) as a board member and as the immediate past chair. Dr. Kat began specializing in perinatal mental health after her own experience with postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD over 14 years ago.

In this episode, I explore Aaron Beck's CBT approach to treating anxiety by changing thoughts to shift emotion. I explain cognitive distortions, core beliefs, the cognitive model (situation → automatic thought → anxiety → avoidance), and practical tools like thought records and the S.T.A.Y. acronym to reduce anxiety and build resilience through exposure and reframing.   —My Anxiety Recovery Program— https://unpluganxiety.com/my-program/ —1 on 1 Coaching— https://unpluganxiety.com/1-on-1-coaching/ —My Website— https://unpluganxiety.com

This week we discuss the current status of Mental Health Care.   Mental health care is changing, but most experts argue it is not changing fast enough relative to the need, especially on access, equity, and workforce. Where change is too slow Unmet need is huge. In the U.S., millions with a diagnosable condition still receive no treatment each year; a recent national report notes that many adults with mental illness remain uninsured or unable to access care.​ Global workforce shortages. Nearly 50% of the world's population lives in countries with fewer than 1 psychiatrist per 100,000 people, which severely limits access.​ Specialist shortages in high‑income countries. Projections for the U.S. estimate a shortage of roughly 14,000–31,000 psychiatrists, with over half of counties having none at all, and this gap may persist for decades without major policy changes. System design still hospital‑centered. The WHO notes that two‑thirds of scarce mental health budgets still go to stand‑alone psychiatric hospitals rather than community‑based services, despite all countries having signed on to a reform plan.​ Persistent inequities. Underserved groups (rural communities, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, low‑income populations) face additional barriers like providers not taking Medicaid/Medicare, language gaps, and local provider deserts.​ What is changing quickly Telehealth and virtual care. Teletherapy and virtual mental health visits expanded dramatically and now make it easier to reach people regardless of location, with greater scheduling flexibility and fewer logistical barriers. Digital mental health tools. Apps and web programs delivering structured therapies (for example CBT modules) can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety with moderate to high effect sizes, including in low‑resource settings. New care pathways. Systems are experimenting with brief interventions, stepped‑care models, peer‑support programs, and task‑sharing where general health workers and community providers deliver basic mental health support. Policy and parity efforts. Some U.S. states are strengthening mental health parity enforcement, improving network adequacy, and changing insurance rules to make psychiatric medications and services easier to access.​ Stigma is slowly decreasing. Recent commentary highlights that more people are willing to seek help, pushing demand higher and driving interest in more personalized, data‑driven psychiatric care.​ Big picture: mismatch between need and pace Demand is outpacing innovation. Trauma, pandemic aftereffects, economic stress, and social unrest have increased mental health needs faster than systems can expand the workforce or redesign care, deepening inequities. Technology helps but isn't a cure‑all. Digital tools and telehealth extend reach, but quality is uneven, many apps lack strong evidence, and people with the most severe conditions still need intensive, in‑person, multidisciplinary care. Global agencies explicitly say pace is inadequate. The WHO's own assessment is that "change is not happening fast enough," framing the current situation as one of ongoing need and neglect despite clear evidence of what would work better.​ What would "fast enough" look like? Large‑scale investment in community‑based services and integration of mental health into primary care, shifting funding away from institutional‑only models.​ Aggressive strategies to grow and sustain the mental health workforce (training, better reimbursement, support to prevent burnout, incentives for underserved areas). Wider, evidence‑based use of digital interventions and telehealth, with standards for safety, privacy, and effectiveness so people can trust what they are using. Stronger parity enforcement and policies that make it actually practical—not just theoretically covered—to find and afford care. If you think about your own community or the people you work with, do you feel the main barrier is access (finding/affording care), quality (getting the right care), or something else like stigma or navigation?

Summary This conversation explores the current challenges faced by educators in the Middle East amidst ongoing conflicts and the transition to remote learning. Experts discuss the importance of mental health, community support, and effective communication strategies to navigate these turbulent times. They emphasize the need for structured learning, the role of technology, and the significance of cybersecurity in education. The dialogue highlights the collective responsibility of educators to support students and families while maintaining their own wellbeing. Takeaways The education community is vital during crises. Mental health support is crucial for both students and teachers. Clear communication channels are essential for effective remote learning. Cybersecurity awareness is increasingly important in education. Flexibility in teaching methods can enhance student engagement. Community support networks can provide valuable resources and reassurance. Educators should prioritize their own wellbeing to better support others. Structured learning helps maintain a sense of normalcy for students. Inclusion practices must adapt to current challenges. Sharing best practices among educators can lead to improved outcomes.   Chapters   00:00 Understanding Trauma and Its Effects on the Brain 06:05 Practical Tips for Managing Stress and Anxiety 09:16 Introduction and Context of Online Learning in Bahrain 15:10 Navigating Technology and Resources in Education 21:40 Introduction to Ivan's Journey in Education 27:51 The Importance of Wellbeing in Online Teaching 31:57 Introduction and Current Situation in Saudi Arabia 39:11 Learning from Global Educational Communities 41:30 Introduction to Julia Knight and Her Role 49:52 Understanding Unique Community Needs in Education 52:28 Introduction to Inclusion in Education 58:32 Safeguarding and Vulnerability in Education 01:02:50 Introduction to the Current Educational Landscape 01:04:55 Navigating Distance Learning Challenges 01:08:37 Strategies for Parents and Educators 01:12:01 The Importance of Structure in Education 01:13:07 Introduction to BSME and Current Challenges 01:16:03 Community Support and Communication Strategies 01:19:10 Well-being and Mental Health Initiatives 01:22:12 Advice for Schools and Educators Dr Catherine O'Farrell www.incluzun.com https://www.instagram.com/incluzunme/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100071126186624 https://www.linkedin.com/in/katescc/ www.incluzun.com https://www.instagram.com/incluzunme/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100071126186624 https://www.linkedin.com/in/katescc/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-knight-mcct-a558a11a1?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios  https://www.cois.org/about-cis/perspectives-blog/blog-post/~board/perspectives-blog/post/supporting-students-impacted-by-the-conflict-in-the-world   From Clemmie Stewart Shannon Parfitt: Tom Percival books are great, they are all based on different emotions and help children to relate to the story and talk about their own feelings  Oak Academy for online learning may help to reduce workload and planning time.

In today's episode, Trisha and I are answering two questions that I know so many of you will quietly relate to. If you've ever felt stuck in that horrible loop of not seeing progress… getting tired… reaching for coffee or chocolate… and then slowly falling off track — this one is for you. We talk about what's actually happening in those moments. Why it feels so hard to stay steady when results are slow. And how to rebuild momentum without turning on yourself or throwing everything out the window. Then we move into the teenage years. If you're working full-time, juggling drop-offs and pick-ups, watching the money fly out every month, and wondering how to stay present in it all — we talk about that too. How to catch yourself when you're reacting. How to steady the tone at home. And how to bring more calm and connection into your parenting, even when life feels relentless. As always, Trisha McHale brings her grounded, compassionate psychotherapist lens — helping unpack what's happening beneath the behaviours, and how to shift from reacting to responding. If you've ever felt stuck in a loop, stretched too thin, or unsure how to move into the next phase of life with intention — this episode is for you. Click play and let's dive in.

Break the anxiety cycle with daily guided support inside my End The Anxiety Program, step by step tools, CBT based direction, and a clear path forward. Start today by Clicking Here.  Today's Episode: In this episode of The Anxiety Guy Podcast, we focus on body scanning and hypervigilance, the habit of constantly monitoring sensations for signs of danger. If you keep checking your pulse, breathing, dizziness, chest sensations, tingling, tension, vision changes, or "weird" feelings and then spiraling into health anxiety, panic, or catastrophic thinking, you're not alone. You'll learn why symptom checking, tracking, and Googling symptoms can feel helpful in the moment but actually trains the brain to stay on high alert. We'll break down how reassurance seeking and safety behaviors keep the nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight, and how to start interrupting the loop with a more neutral response. This episode is for anyone dealing with health anxiety (hypochondria), panic attacks, intrusive "what if" thoughts, DPDR, and chronic hypervigilance. You'll walk away with simple, practical steps to reduce scanning, stop compulsive checking, tolerate uncertainty, and begin rebuilding trust in your body again. ▶️ Listen & Subscribe: Apple Podcasts: Subscribe Here Spotify: Subscribe Here YouTube: Subscribe Here Episode page: Catch up on previous episodes here

How do you improve emotional intelligence when you were never really taught what to do with your feelings in the first place? Emotional intelligence shapes your happiness, your relationships, your leadership, and your ability to manage stress — yet most people were never shown how to build emotional intelligence skills in a practical way. In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, we're talking about exactly how to improve emotional intelligence step by step, and how to develop emotional intelligence skills that create real change. Not as a personality trait you either have or don't, but as a set of learnable skills that directly impact emotional regulation, self-awareness, career success, and the quality of your relationships. You'll learn why emotional intelligence often matters more than technical expertise at work. In fact, emotional intelligence at work is one of the strongest predictors of long-term career success and leadership effectiveness. We'll explore how strengthening emotional vocabulary changes the way you think and feel, why managing your internal reactions is the foundation for stronger communication, and how emotional intelligence supports resilience under stress. Together, we'll walk through the four core components of emotional intelligence — self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management — and what it actually looks like to strengthen each one in real life. If you've ever felt reactive, shut down, emotionally overwhelmed, or unsure how to handle difficult conversations, this episode will help you slow down, get clearer, and show up differently. Emotional intelligence isn't about being more emotional. It's about understanding your emotions, regulating them wisely, and creating emotional safety in the relationships that matter most. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why Emotional Intelligence Matters 06:58 Emotional Intelligence and Career Success 11:34 The Four Components of Emotional Intelligence 13:43 Self-Awareness: Naming Emotions and Understanding Triggers 27:38 Tools to Improve Emotional Intelligence (Mindfulness, CBT, Feeling Wheel) 32:15 Emotional Regulation and Self-Management 38:53 Social Awareness and Relationship Management 46:07 Relationship Management: Emotional Safety, Trust, and Communication That Works 50:42 How Emotional Intelligence Builds Long-Term Success If you're listening and thinking, “I want these emotional intelligence skills, but I'd love support while I practice them,” I have something for you.

Life doesn't slow down just because we feel overwhelmed — and yet so many of us are quietly waiting for the next milestone to finally feel happy.In round two with Dr. Rachel Goldman, we talk about her upcoming book When Life Happens (out April 7) and what it actually means to reclaim your joy in the middle of uncertainty — not after you move cities, land the job, find the partner, or “figure it all out.”We unpack decision fatigue, the pressure to have life mapped out by a certain age, and the trap of “I'll be happy when…” Dr. Rachel shares the CBT tools she uses with clients to help them get unstuck — starting with acceptance, coming back to your why, and making small, intentional tweaks that build momentum. Because becoming happier isn't about a dramatic life overhaul — it's about learning how to work with your thoughts instead of against them.We also dive into one of my favorite questions: how to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition — and how slowing down might be the most radical act of self-trust.If you've been craving clarity, feeling restless, or wondering whether you need to change everything to feel better — this conversation is your reminder that joy is something you can practice, not just achieve.You can also check out our previous episode here

Anxiety is everywhere right now. It's in our culture, in our homes, and often in our own nervous systems. So how do we raise brave, resilient children without unintentionally reinforcing the fears we're trying to protect them from? I'm Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host, and in this episode of the Parenting Well Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Samantha Grigsby, clinical psychologist and founder of Foothills CBT, to break down what every parent needs to understand about how anxiety works and how to interrupt the cycle that keeps it growing. We explore how to distinguish normal developmental anxiety from anxiety that needs support, and why avoidance, though well-intended, often strengthens fear over time. Dr. Grigsby explains the anxiety cycle in practical terms and shares why Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) are gold-standard treatments for anxiety and OCD. We also discuss how rescuing, over-accommodating, minimizing stress, or offering constant reassurance can unintentionally perpetuate anxiety, as well as what supportive parenting actually looks like when a child is struggling. Finally, we examine the cultural pressures amplifying stress today and how to keep our own anxiety from shaping the emotional climate of our homes. Because bravery isn't the absence of anxiety. It's feeling it — and moving forward anyway. Register to hear her talk at the Stress & Anxiety Conference  In this podcast, we talk about: How to tell when anxiety is normal and when it's limiting your child The hidden ways loving parents accidentally reinforce anxiety Why avoidance and reassurance make anxiety stronger What actually works (CBT & ERP explained simply) How to stop passing your stress onto your child Key Takeaway: Avoidance might be contributing to your child's anxiety. The very things we do to reduce our child's distress can quietly make it stronger. Support and accommodation are not the same thing. One builds resilience. The other builds dependence. Do you see this in your family? Reassurance feels loving but it can train the brain to doubt itself. What happens when children learn to tolerate uncertainty instead Bravery doesn't mean calm. It means moving forward while your nervous system is loud. Your anxiety shapes the emotional climate of your home. Not because you're failing but because nervous systems are contagious. We live in an expectation-amplified world. Unrealistic standards, social comparison, and constant input may be fueling more stress than we realize. Self-criticism keeps the cycle alive. Self-compassion may be one of the most powerful anxiety interventions for both parent and child. You don't have to eliminate anxiety all together to raise a confident child. You may need to look at whether you are protecting them from having uncomfortable feelings.

How can you stay present when your brain is screaming with OCD?

In this powerful and practical conversation, Shaley sits down with therapist and author Diana Partington to unpack what Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) actually is—and why it can be a game-changer for people living with bipolar disorder. Diana shares her deeply personal story of living with suicidality for decades before discovering DBT, the therapy that finally gave her the “toolbox” she had been searching for. Together, Shaley and Diana explore how DBT differs from traditional CBT, why mindfulness doesn't mean “emptying your mind,” and how skills like Wise Mind, emotional regulation, and the PLEASE skill can help stabilize mood, increase awareness, and create buffer zones before episodes escalate. This episode is a relatable, stigma-breaking look at learning skills after years of thinking you already should know them—and how small, practical tools can make a life-saving difference. Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting someone with bipolar disorder, or looking for concrete strategies that actually work in real life, this conversation brings hope, validation, and actionable insight. ⏱️ Key Moments (00:10:32) Why DBT felt different from every therapy Diana had tried before (00:13:48) The “toolbox” metaphor—and why skills matter more than insight alone (00:18:21) How DBT was originally developed to treat suicidality, not just diagnoses (00:22:05) The problem with CBT for highly sensitive or suicidal individuals (00:26:40) The DBT philosophy: therapists are not the experts—you are (00:30:12) Understanding Emotion Mind, Reasonable Mind, and Wise Mind (00:34:55) Can you access Wise Mind during bipolar symptoms? Practical realities (00:39:18) Catching hypomania early: recognizing patterns “at the beginning of the curve” (00:44:02) The PLEASE skill explained—why sleep, medication, and routine are foundational (00:49:27) Mindfulness redefined: it's not meditation, it's learning to observe your mind Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening. If this episode or podcast means something to you, I would be forever grateful if you could give a five star review so it can reach people that need it.  You can also share this conversation with someone who could use a few more tools in their toolbox—and remember: skills can be learned at any stage of the journey.

Dr. Patti Robinson, at the 2025 CFHA: The Integrated Care Association annual conference, introduces the E-GATHER Reflection and Learning Tool, an evolution of the “gather” tool developed from training health improvement practitioners (BHCs) in New Zealand. The tool is designed to reduce overwhelm in the first three months of a new BHC role, bring an equity lens “up front,” and support supervision and professional development when qualified supervisors and protected time are limited. The talk reviews barriers to successful supervision in integrated behavioral health (supervisor shortages, time constraints, staffing shortages, mixed interprofessional cultures, and inconsistent clinic workflows) and highlights conditions that improve supervision (regular meetings, protected time and space, flexibility, shared purpose, and two-way feedback). A pilot in Los Angeles with BHCs transitioning from co-located care to PCBH and new, unlicensed social work associates used E-GATHER in both individual and group supervision. Reported outcomes included rapid gains in self-ratings, increased visits per day, fewer follow-ups per unique patient, higher role satisfaction, faster onboarding of new BHCs, stronger peer support, and increased interest in further skills training (e.g., FACT/Four Square, CBT, psychoeducation). Feedback emphasized that E-GATHER made supervision more structured and productive, while suggested improvements included fewer interruptions during meetings, more role plays, and supplemental trainings/webinars.

Come for the unreplicatable science, stay for the promise of a planetary heart beating out peace for a thousand years. The HeartMath Solution: The Institute of HeartMath's Revolutionary Program for Engaging the Power of the Heart's Intelligence By: Doc Childre, Howard Martin, and Donna Beech Published: 1999 304 Pages (But somehow this translates to only 2 hours 45 minutes on audio…) Briefly, what is this book about? The idea that the heart contains a separate brain, and true emotional health comes from aligning the heart's brain and its "intelligence", with the actual brain. Basically it's mindfulness, meditation, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) wrapped in pseudoscience. What authorial biases should I be aware of? These guys are definitely trying to sell you on the HeartMath program. Also many of the studies they cite were conducted by their institute. Who should read this book? No one, unless perhaps for its (completely unintentional) value as a work of humor. Specific thoughts: You had me at "quantum nutrients"

Have you ever wondered how hypnotherapy can help your dental patients? Can it really reduce anxiety, manage chronic pain, or even stop habits like cheek biting? How can dentists integrate hypnotherapy into their care without stepping outside their scope of practice? In this episode, Jaz and Dr. Rita Pais break down how hypnotherapy works, who can benefit, and practical ways dentists can incorporate it into patient care. They also discuss real patient examples, from dental phobia to awake bruxism, showing how a minimally invasive talking therapy can make a real difference in improving habits, reducing stress, and enhancing overall patient outcomes. https://youtu.be/ONnC_nP0iBQ Watch PDP258 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: How to Get Patients to Happily Accept a Mouth Prop – Use confident, directive communication paired with a simple analogy and a swallowing expectation to dramatically improve patient acceptance of mouth props. Key Takeaways Hypnotherapy combines hypnosis with therapeutic techniques for health outcomes. Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapy (CBH) enhances treatment effectiveness. Patients must be willing to try hypnotherapy for it to work. Chronic pain management can benefit from relaxation techniques in hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy can address dental phobias and habits like nail-biting. Awareness of habits is crucial for effective hypnotherapy. Finding a qualified hypnotherapist is essential for successful treatment. Science-based approaches in hypnotherapy are preferred by practitioners. Success stories in hypnotherapy can be very rewarding for practitioners. Hypnotherapy can be delivered online or in person, making it accessible.

Meet Richard Lam-- Master TEAM CBT Teacher and Therapist! Today we chat with Richard Lam. Richard is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in Mountain View, California. He is a graduate of Palo Alto University. He currently provides short-term therapy for anxiety, OCD, habits/addictions, depression, and relationship concerns using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Richard also trains other therapists in David Burn's model of CBT called TEAM-CBT Therapy. He is a certified Level 5 Master Therapist and Trainer in TEAM-CBT Therapy.  And today, Richard has gifts for you! They are fantastic! See below! I began by asking Richard how he got interested in teaching. When he was first learning, he was tutored by Dr. Angela Krumm, an advanced TEAM CBT practitioner and one of the three founders of the Feeling Good Institute. He was loving the training, but one day she said, "That's all I can teach you. Now you have to start teaching!"  And that started the wagon rolling down the hill. Richard is particularly interested in developing free self-help tools for patients, but also runs a special training class for TEAM CBT therapists who themselves want to become trainers. It meets in-person at the FGI office on Mondays from 12 to 2 PM. If interested, contact Richard (contact information is at bottom of show notes.) Richard is one of our most articulate TEAM CBT teachers, and is renown for some of his live demonstrations of specific techniques, like Forced Empathy. He has created a series of multi-page interactive teaching guides for a variety of techniques, so you can learn exactly how to do the Double Standard Technique, or the Externalization of Voices in a simple, clear, step-ty-step manner. Here are links to several examples. Check them out and feel free to share them with your patients if you are a TEAM therapist.  These links are all kick ass! Check them out and do the exercises. You'll be glad you did! Link to Double Standard Technique Link to Externalization of Voices  Link to Externalization of Resistance Link to I Feel Statements, Part 1 Link to I Feel Statements, Part 2 Link to Feared Fantasy Link to Forced Empathy Link to Forced Empathy Handout Link to Future Projection, for Habits Link to Paradoxical Ultimatum Richard tells us that mental health works a lot like physical health. When we don't regularly care for our bodies, things start to deteriorate and the same is true for our minds. These tools give you a way to keep nurturing your mental health so you can maintain a strong, healthy mind. Richard and I also discussed Acceptance--one of the most difficult concepts for patients and therapists alike to "get." I was delighted to learn he has a five-point plan to help people grasp this concept. Richard's Five Steps to Acceptance 1. The Win-Win Principle: How can I see this loss as a win? In high school, Richard had a patient whose heart was set on making the varsity basketball team, and was heartbroken when he only made the junior varsity team. But then he got to thinking that it would be fun to be the start on the JV team because his best friend is also going to be in JV. He relaxed and started to enjoy his practices with the team.  And He was promptly promoted to the varsity team!  2. Remember the butterfly effect!  Richard described getting angry and frustrated when he was late for an important appointment, and the car in front of him was moving slowly and caused a delay at a red light. His first impulse was to get angry and insist it SHOULDN'T have happened. But then, in reflection, he thought: "Wait a minute. This delay will change the entire trajectory of the rest of my life. And who knows, this could have save my life from some future tragedy if the trajectory of my life had been on time."  3, Growth mindset I have always thought of this important idea in simple terms. There is really no such "thing," from a Buddhist perspective, as "success" or "failure." These are just experiences. But often things do not turn out as one hoped. Instead of caving in, giving up, or feeling depressed or frustrated, although those are perfectly reasonable human experiences, you can accept your failure and view it as an opportunity for growth and learning. Our 9 month old grandson has reminded me that when we are learning to walk, we "fail" constantly, falling over, etc. But these are steps in learning that eventually culminates in the ability to walk--which is a miracle! 4. The spiritual view Acceptance can be thought of as letting go of judgement. Richard treated a woman who was angry at God because she could not have children, and she had always dreamed of having a big family. But from a medical perspective, her anger and constant agitation were actually the main reason she couldn't get pregnant. Shen she began working on reducing her anger using TEAM CBT, she was able to relax, and accept her fate with greater in peace. And then she suddenly got pregnant!  I, David, have seen this on many occasions. Check out Podcast #7f9, one of our most popular podcasts ever, with Daisy: "What is the Secret of a Meaningful Life?" Or Podcasts 268 - 269, featuring live work with our beloved Dr. Carly Zankman. Or #349: "What if my family rejects me?" All of these podcasts were amazing, and resulted in rapid pregnancies! 5. Empathy vs anger Richard described getting VERY angry when someone broke into his car and stole a bunch of stuff, but then asked himself why they did it. He realized that they were probably struggling and desperate for money--for drugs, for food, for family. Understanding someone's story can help lower the anger that you feel. Richard, Rhonda, and David

The story we've been told about cannabis—safe, simple, and mostly benign—doesn't match what we're seeing at the bedside. Two ER-turned-addiction doctors pull back the curtain on how high-potency products can quietly undercut psychiatric meds, complicate procedural sedation, and nudge recovery off course even when everything else looks better. This isn't a panic piece; it's a practical guide to staying safer and getting more from treatment.We start with psychiatry and a pattern that's easy to miss: chronic cannabis use can upregulate ABC transporters along the gut, liver, and blood-brain barrier, pushing certain antipsychotics and mood meds out of cells faster and blunting their effect. What looks like “noncompliance” may be pharmacology. We talk through which agents lean on these transporters, which alternatives may perform better, and how to have a stigma-free conversation that protects trust while fixing the plan.Then we roll into the procedure room. Heavy cannabis use can decrease sensitivity to propofol and other sedatives by altering GABA activity and endocannabinoid tone, often requiring higher doses and tighter monitoring. Add a lesser-known risk—post-propofol hypersalivation in frequent users—and disclosure becomes a safety tool. We share exactly what to tell anesthesia, what clinicians can prepare for, and how to keep airways protected without surprises.Finally, we examine the “Cali sober” idea through data, not dogma. Large cohort studies link cannabis use to higher rates of alcohol recurrence and new substance use disorders over time, especially with potent concentrates. We cover why potency and pattern matter, how cannabis can dampen the gains of CBT, MI, and contingency management, and what a realistic harm reduction path looks like when abstinence isn't the first stop. Throughout, we keep language careful—reported use, not admitted; return to use, not relapse—because words shape trust.If you care for patients, care about someone in recovery, or care about your own health, this conversation offers a clear framework: ask better questions, match meds to biology, and align goals to protect progress.

Parenting is often described as the most important job in the world — but it may also be the most emotionally demanding.In this episode of Thoughts on Record, we sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Alissa Jerud to explore her new book, Emotion-Savvy Parenting: A Shame-Free Guide to Navigating Emotional Storms and Deepening Connection. Drawing from CBT, DBT, and decades of research on emotion regulation, Dr. Jerud introduces the ART framework — Accept, Regulate, Tolerate — a practical and deeply compassionate roadmap for transforming family life.What makes this conversation so powerful is the central shift Dr. Jerud invites: the key to more harmonious parenting isn't changing our children's behavior — it's learning to manage our own emotions first.We discuss:Why parenting is uniquely emotionally activatingThe difference between emotion regulation and emotional suppressionHow distress tolerance skills apply in everyday family conflictRecognizing and grounding our own “emotional storms”Setting firm boundaries without abandoning emotional acceptanceThe role of repair, imperfection, and self-compassion in healthy familiesHow this framework can prevent burnout — for both parents and cliniciansThis is not a perfection-based approach to parenting. It's a psychologically sophisticated, shame-free model that meets parents where they are — and offers tools for building resilience, flexibility, and genuine connection.Whether you're a parent, a clinician, or someone reflecting on your own upbringing, this episode offers a grounded, research-informed lens on what it means to raise — and regulate — human beings.About Dr. Alissa JerudDr. Alissa Jerud is a licensed clinical psychologist and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She specializes in evidence-based treatments for anxiety, trauma, and emotion-regulation difficulties.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Helen Shaddock, a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and PhD researcher whose work explores autism, eating distress, OCD, and healing through creativity.Helen was diagnosed with anorexia at 13 and spent the next 25 years moving through eating-disorder pathways that never fully explained her experience. It wasn't until her late 30s — after years of treatment, physical injury, and burnout — that an occupational therapist recognised what others had missed: Helen was Autistic.Helen and Angela explore the long overlap between eating distress, OCD, and autism, how Autistic regulation was repeatedly misread as pathology, and how late diagnosis reframed decades of self-blame. Helen shares her experiences around interoception, stimming, routine, sensory regulation, and the difference between Autistic eating and eating disorder treatment.This episode is also about creative becoming — how art, writing, and storytelling can be tools for survival, meaning-making, and identity reconstruction.

Tudo isso lhes ocorre por ignorância do bem e do mal. Mas eu, que observei que a natureza do bem é o belo, e que a do mal é o vergonhoso, e que a natureza do próprio pecador, que é meu parente, porque participa, não do mesmo sangue ou da mesma semente, mas das inteligência e de uma porção da divindade, não posso receber dano de nenhum deles, pois nenhum me cobrirá de vergonha; nem posso me aborrecer com meu parente nem odiá-lo. Pois, nascemos para colaborar, como os pés, as mãos, as pálpebras, os dentes, superiores e inferiores. Agir, pois, como adversários uns para com os outros é contrário à natureza. E é agir como adversário o fato de manifestar indignação e repulsa. Isso é tudo o que sou: um pouco de carne, um breve fôlego vital e o guia interior. Deixe os livros! Não te distraias mais; não está permitido a ti. Mas que, na idéia de que já és um moribundo, despreza a carne: sangue e pó, ossos, fino tecido de nervos, de pequenas veias e artérias. Olha também em que consiste o fôlego vital: vento, e nem sempre o mesmo, pois em todo momento se expira e de novo se aspira. Em terceiro lugar, pois, te resta o guia interior. Reflete assim: és velho; não o consintas por mais tempo que seja escravo, nem que siga ainda arrastando-se como marionete por instintos egoístas, nem que maldigas o destino presente ou tenhas receio do futuro. Para qualquer parte da natureza, é bom aquilo que colabora com a natureza do conjunto e o que é capaz de preservá-la. E conservam o mundo tanto as transformações dos elementos simples como as dos compostos. Sejam suficientes para ti essas reflexões, se são princípios básicos. Afasta tua sede de livros, para não morrer amargurado, mas verdadeiramente resignado e grato de coração aos deuses. Não consumas a parte da vida que te resta fazendo conjecturas sobre outras pessoas, a não ser que teu objetivo aponte para o bem comum; porque certamente te privas de outra tarefa. Ao querer saber, ao imaginar o que faz fulano e por que, e o que pensa e o que trama e tantas coisas semelhantes que provocam teu raciocínio, tu te afastas da observação do teu guia interior. Convém, consequentemente, que, no encadear das tuas ideias, evites admitir o que é fruto do azar e supérfluo, mas muito mais o inútil e pernicioso. Deves também acostumar-te a ter unicamente aquelas ideias sobre as quais, se te perguntassem de súbito “em que pensas agora?”, com franqueza pudesses responder no mesmo instante “nisso e naquilo”, de maneira que no mesmo instante se manifestasse que tudo em ti é simples, benévolo e próprio de um ser isento de toda cobiça, inveja, receio ou qualquer outra paixão, da qual pudesses envergonhar-te ao reconhecer que a possui em teu pensamento. Porque o homem com essas características, que já não demora em situar-se entre os melhores, converte-se em sacerdote e servo dos deuses, posto ao serviço também da divindade que habita seu interior; tudo que o imuniza contra os prazeres, o faz invulnerável a toda dor, intocável a todo excesso, insensível a toda maldade, atleta da mais excelsa luta, luta que se entrava para não ser abatido por nenhuma paixão, impregnado a fundo de justiça, apegado, com toda a sua alma, aos acontecimentos e a tudo o que lhe tenha acontecido. E, raramente, a não ser por uma grande necessidade e tendo em vista o bem comum, cogita o que a outra pessoa diz, faz ou pensa. Colocará unicamente em prática aquelas coisas que lhe correspondem, e pensa sem cessar no que lhe pertence, o que foi alinhado ao conjunto. Enquanto, por um lado, cumpre o seu dever, por outro, está convencido de que é bom. Porque o destino designado a cada um está envolvido no conjunto e ao mesmo tempo o envolve. Tem também presente que todos os seres racionais têm parentesco e que preocupar-se com todos os homens está de acordo com a natureza humana Mas não deves considerar a opinião de todos, mas somente a opinião daqueles que vivem conforme a natureza. E, em relação aos que não vivem assim, prossegue recordando até o fim como são em casa e fora dela, pela noite e durante o dia, e com que classe de gente convivem. Consequentemente, não considera o elogio de tais homens que nem consigo mesmos estão satisfeitos.Na convicção de que pode sair da vida a qualquer momento, faça, fale e pense todas e cada uma das coisas em consonância com essa ideia. Pois distanciar-se dos homens, se existem deuses, em absoluto é temível, porque estes não poderiam atirar-te ao mar. Mas, se em verdade não existem, ou não lhes importam os assuntos humanos, para que viver em um mundo vazio de deuses ou vazio de providência? Mas sim, existem, e lhes importam as coisas humanas, e criaram todos os meios a seu alcance para que o homem não sucumba aos verdadeiros males. E se restar algum mal, também haveriam previsto, a fim de que contasse o homem com todos os meios para evitar cair nele. Mas o que não torna pior um homem, como isso poderia fazer pior a sua vida? Nem por ignorância nem conscientemente, mas por ser incapaz de prevenir ou corrigir esses defeitos, a natureza do conjunto o teria consentido. E, tampouco, por incapacidade ou inabilidade teria cometido um erro de tais dimensões como acontece aos bons e aos maus indistintamente, bens e males em partes iguais. Entretanto, morte e vida, glória e infâmia, dor e prazer, riqueza e penúria, tudo isso acontecem indistintamente ao homem bom e ao mal, pois não é nem belo nem feio, porque, efetivamente, não são bons nem maus.*APOIE O NARUHODO!O Altay e eu temos duas mensagens pra você.A primeira é: muito, muito obrigado pela sua audiência.

Stories from a Giant and Gadfly Discover the Protest Music of RainFall!-- like "The Antidepressant Blues!" Today, we are delighted to spend some time with a dear friend and highly esteemed colleague, Dr. David Antonuccio. David is a retired Clinical Psychologist and Professor Emeritus in the Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Nevada, Reno, School of Medicine. In addition to his academic work, David had his own clinical practice for 40 years. He has published over 100 academic articles and multiple books, primarily on the treatment of depression, anxiety, or smoking cessation. Since his retirement from practice in 2020, he has been making music as part of a duo called RainFall, with his musical partner Michael Pierce. Their music can be found on Spotify, Apple music, and Soundcloud, among other streaming services. I first became familiar with David when a colleague recommended his article entitled: "Psychotherapy versus medication for depression: challenging the conventional wisdom with data," which was published in Professional Psychology: Research and Practice way back in 1995. The article blew my socks off. In the first place, he had come to the many of the same conclusions I had come to, that antidepressants had few "real" effects above and beyond their placebo effects. However, he also had incredible insights into some of the problems and loopholes with drug company research studies on antidepressants, so I tried to get as many colleagues and students as possible to read that article. Here is the article link Although I had never met David, he became my hero. One day, while I was giving one of my two-day CBT workshops in Nevada, I was singing his praises and urging participants to read that classic article, but, unexpectedly, some people started chuckling. At a break, I asked someone why people had been laughing. They said, "Didn't you know that David Antonuccio is here attending this workshop? He was out visiting the bathroom when you were singing his praises, so he didn't hear you!" And that's how we met! I couldn't believe my good fortune in meeting this brilliant and humble man in person. And to my good fortune, we became good friends right off the bat and eventually did a lot of fun professional work together, like our exciting conference challenging the chemical imbalance theory of depression which we called the Rumble in Reno. I was also proud to be included as a co-author in a popular article with David and William Danton reviewing the brilliant work of Irving Kirsch. Kirsch had re-analyzed all the data on antidepressants in the FDA archives and concluded that the chemicals called "antidepressants" had few, if any, clinically significant effects above and beyond their placebo effects. In that paper, we also emphasized the ongoing power struggle between the needs of science and the needs of marketing. Science is devoted to discovering and reporting the truth, based on research, regardless of where it leads, while marketing, sadly, is ultimately loyal to the bottom line, even if deception is required. Here is the link to our article: And here is the full reference: Antonuccio, D. O., Burns, D., & Danton, W. G. (2002). Antidepressants: A Triumph of Marketing over Science? Prevention and Treatment, 5, Article 25. Web link: http://journals.apa.org/prevention/volume5/toc-jul15-02.htm I was sad when David retired from his clinical, teaching, and research career a number of years ago in order to spend more time on creating and recording music because, a passion he'd put on the shelf during the most active years of his career. I felt we'd lost an important and courageous leader in the behavioral sciences, and felt an emptiness, like an important pioneer was suddenly missing. The following link provides a highly readable brief overview of David's career focus and interests. I was thrilled to learn just recently that David has partly resumed his role as gadfly of the behavioral sciences, rejoining the fight for science, ethics and for truth, regardless of where that leads or whose feathers are ruffled. And now, we sit down together to reminisce about his personal life and experiences with many of the greats in our field, like Dr. David Healey, Irving Kirsch, and others who have also stood up for the truth, based on their research, in spite of intense opposition from the establishment. And, today David also brings us his music, with his colleague, Michael Pierce, RainFall. Some of his music has psychiatric / psychological themes, like his "Antidepressant Blues," Some of David's music has humanistic and political themes. He said: Here's a song we just released yesterday that i will assume would not be relevant to the podcast. It is called Final Embrace and was inspired by a heart-breaking international wire photo of a Salvadoran immigrant father hugging his daughter, both deceased, in the rio grande in 2019. Here's the link to the original news story. David's two-man group, RainFall, wrote and recorded the original acoustic version of this song in 2020. He explains: We decided to record a more dynamic updated version of the song with some electric guitar chords, electric bass, and drums. We are calling it "Final Embrace Electric". The story is still heart-breaking, and it still makes me cry to sing it. Here is a link to the new version of the song, And here are the heart-breaking lyrics: Final Embrace Electric (For Oscar and Valeria) By RainFall (David Antonuccio and Michael Pierce) I'm sorry I couldn't help you I'm sorry you lost your life You took a deadly risk I'm sorry for your wife What were you supposed to do? Stay home and watch your family die? Or take a chance at freedom Reach for the sky Some say you should have known better They say that you are a criminal But they don't know your fear, your pain, your hunger For them it's the principle Some say we were here first It's not our problem Despite your dire thirst We're full, no more asylum Let's ask them what they would do If their family were faced with danger If they're honest, they'd take the chance Hope for kindness from a stranger You tried to get in the front door But it was slammed closed So you swam the deadly current Despite the perilous flow You never lost your grip Though the river was not crossable Only another parent can know How that is even possible Everyone can tell you loved your daughter Even in that place You never let her go It was your final embrace I'm sorry I couldn't help you I'm sorry you lost your life You took a deadly risk I'm so sorry for your wife Everyone can tell you loved your daughter Even in that place You never let her go It was your final embrace Your final embrace It was your final embrace It was your final embrace   Thank you for joining us today. Stayed tuned for Part 2 of the David Antonuccio interview next week! David, Rhonda, and David

In today's episode, we connect with Dr. Scott Eilers to discuss his upcoming book, The Light Between the Leaves: 6 Truths Your Therapist Won't Tell You About Healing Depression and Trauma, set for release in April 2026. Known as "The Depression Doctor," Dr. Scott is a clinical psychologist who has spent decades working with people whose depression, trauma, and emotional disconnection don't fully respond to conventional approaches. Drawing from both his professional work and his own lived experience with severe depression and self-isolation, Dr. Scott shares how his healing journey led him beyond traditional therapy models — toward nontraditional paths like reconnecting with nature, rebuilding emotional safety, and addressing the internal systems that quietly block recovery… This discussion delves into: Why joy, comfort, and connection can feel inaccessible even when life seems "fine" on the outside. Why positive moments fade quickly while emotional lows feel permanent. The hidden patterns that sustain certain forms of depression and trauma. What actually helps restore emotional connection and long-term healing. Ready to take a deeper look at the reality of depression? Hit play to hear how Dr. Scott challenges surface-level solutions and offers a more integrated, human approach to healing. Click here to connect with Dr. Scott and his work!

When parents start looking for help for a child with OCD, the process can feel confusing, overwhelming, and high-stakes. Between therapy options, medication questions, and different levels of care, it's hard to know what actually matters — and what doesn't.In this episode, I break down what parents really need to know when seeking treatment for OCD.We talk about why the therapist's training matters more than their degree, and what specific approaches are most effective for OCD. I explain the importance of evidence-based modalities like CBT with ERP, ACT, and why family involvement is essential, especially for kids and teens.I also walk through the different levels of care, from outpatient therapy to intensive and residential programs, and how to know when a higher level of support may be appropriate.For parents considering more intensive treatment, I share key questions to ask programs so you can better understand whether the environment is truly appropriate for a child with anxiety or OCD, including how much individual therapy is provided, the mix of diagnoses in the program, and the overall level of safety and stability.Finally, I touch on several well-known OCD treatment programs parents often hear about, and how to think through these options thoughtfully.This episode is designed to help parents feel more informed, more grounded, and more confident as they navigate treatment decisions, because finding the right support can make a meaningful difference in your child's recovery.If you are new to this OCD journey, take my free OCD webinar, 5 Things Every Parent Needs to Know When Helping Their Child with OCD.***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.
