Abby and Patrick are joined by writer and artist Lily Scherlis for a provocative reflection on the ideological subtexts, historical contexts, and real-world value of some of our moment's most bandied-about concepts and terms. Beginning with her 2023 essay for Parapraxis, “Boundary Issues: How Boundaries became the Rule for Mental Health – and Everything Else,” the interview spotlights Scherlis's nuanced yet relentless interrogation of how the vocabularies of research psychology have proliferated across popular culture and have become ubiquitous in the workplace, in bestsellers, on social media, and in our most intimate interactions. What exactly are “boundaries,” when did having (or not having) them become such an issue, and how does their invocation function? Touching on themes and topics across Scherlis's body of work, from CBT and DBT to the legacy of Dale Carnegie and beyond, the conversation builds to a consideration of the case of attachment theory. Unpacking the history, key concepts, and findings of this interdisciplinary field of study, Abby, Patrick, and Lily explore how its terms and categories have become so central to a cottage industry of online quizzes and therapeutic interventions. How do ideas of self-improvement and self-help relate to economic shifts in modes of production, material realities of employment precarity, and our felt sense of being together – and being alienated? What work do these terms do in the abstract, and what work are we as subjects expected to do in learning and using them? And how can we square our skepticism vis-à-vis such models and vocabularies with the traction they can give us when it comes to understanding ourselves, tolerating distress, navigating a difficult world, potentially changing our circumstances, and connecting with one another?Selected texts cited:Lily Scherlis, “Boundary Issues: How Boundaries became the Rule for Mental Health – and Everything Else”Lily Scherlis, “Skill Issues: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Its Discontents”Lily Scherlis, “Going Soft: Future Proofing the American Worker”Danielle Carr, “Don't Be So Attached to Attachment Theory”Robert Karen, Becoming Attached: First Relationships and How They Shape Our Ability to LoveHeidi Keller. The Myth of Attachment Theory A Critical Understanding for Multicultural SocietiesRuth O'Shaughnessy, Rudi Dallos, Katherine Berry, and Karen Bateson. Attachment Theory: The BasicsA podcast about psychoanalysis, politics, pop culture, and the ways we suffer now.

We are joined this week by Dr. Meredith Gansner. Dr. Gansner is a child psychiatrist at Boston Children's Hospital and an instructor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, specializing in high-risk digital media use in teens. She has received multiple research grants, including a K23 career development award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and she is an active member of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry media committee. Her first book, Teen Depression Gone Viral, explores the challenges of treating adolescent depression in the digital age. In this episode, Dr. Meredith Gansner discusses depression in teens, something that has been on the rise especially in today's digital age. She sheds some light on how adolescent depression often looks different from adult depression, sometimes showing up as irritability, aggression, or even physical symptoms like headaches and stomach pain. She helps us break down why it's so important for parents to recognize these signs early on and seek professional support instead of just dismissing them as typical teenage behavior. Dr. Gansner also examines the relationship between social media and mental health. While some teens find support online, others are exposed to harmful content that can reinforce unhealthy coping mechanisms and worsen or even cause poor mental health. She offers some practical advice on improving digital media literacy, setting boundaries, and developing safety plans to help young people engage with the internet and social media in a way that is not detrimental to their well-being. Dr. Gansner also discusses effective treatments for teen depression, stressing a multi-faceted approach including lifestyle changes, therapy, and medication when appropriate. She also clarifies the differences between suicidal thoughts and non-suicidal self-injury, offering guidance on how parents and caregivers can respond with the right level of support. With a focus on family-based strategies, this conversation with Dr. Meredith Gansner helps provide insightful information for anyone looking to strengthen emotional resilience in today's teenagers!   Show Notes: [2:13] - Dr. Gansner reflects on initially feeling optimistic about addressing mental health in youth online but grew frustrated. [5:56] - The youth mental health crisis peaked during COVID and remains a pressing issue. [6:23] - Depression is a physiological illness with many contributing risk factors. [8:03] - Teen depression often manifests as irritability or anger, making it harder for parents to recognize. [11:29] - Some children with depression experience physical symptoms like headaches or stomachaches. [13:08] - Hear about the inspiration behind the title of Dr. Gansner's book. [15:53] - Social media spreads both helpful and harmful information about depression, requiring careful oversight and guidance. [18:32] - Social media can both support and worsen teens' mental health, creating harmful echo chambers. [19:26] - Dr. Gansner feels that rather than banning social media, teaching digital literacy can help children take on harmful content. [21:40] - Teaching teens responsible internet use with guidance, like learning to drive, helps ensure safer engagement. [24:43] - What are some of the best ways to treat depression in teens? [27:31] - Parents often struggle to differentiate suicidal thoughts from non-suicidal self-injury in teens. [28:05] - Dr. Gansner explains that non-suicidal self-injury involves self-harm without suicidal intent, often as a distress signal or coping mechanism. [31:21] - Simply telling teens to "just stop" self-harm can lead to shame, worsening depression and leading to a harmful cycle. [33:17] - Improving sleep is important for teens' emotional resilience, helping prevent impulsive decisions and risky behaviors. [36:58] - Parents limiting their own screen use helps depressed teens feel supported and less isolated. [38:38] - Be sure to get Dr. Gansner's book at a discounted price here!

This week, we had an engaging and enlightening discussion with Dr. Ashley Smith about teen anxiety. Dr. Ashley Smith is an award-winning licensed psychologist and expert in anxiety, and we explore the critical differences between stress and anxiety, the various factors that are causing the surge in teen anxiety, and actionable strategies for parents and educators to support teens who are struggling. Dr. Ashley highlights the importance of distinguishing typical adolescent stress from pervasive anxiety that disrupts daily life, and she discusses the role of societal shifts like technology, social media, and recent global events in shaping teens' mental health, alongside challenges like academic pressure. She also offers some practical advice on recognizing hidden signs of anxiety, such as perfectionism, avoidance, and emotional dysregulation. Our conversation also uncovers how modern culture, including the “good vibes only” mindset and misinformation on social media, impacts teens' ability to process their emotions, with Dr. Ashley highlighting early intervention and equipping listeners with tools to help teens build resilience, from modeling healthy coping strategies to encouraging bravery in the face of adversity. Whether you're a parent, educator, or caregiver of teens who suffer from anxiety, this episode provides valuable insights into supporting teens through challenges while fostering their psychological strength.  Show Notes: [2:23] - Anxiety, Dr. Ashley explains, acts as a warning system, but excessive anxiety can disrupt functioning and become a disorder. [5:45] - Dr. Ashley stresses the importance of early intervention for anxiety; it worsens over time and increases the risk of depression and suicide. [7:39] - Anxiety shows up in various ways, including aggression, perfectionism, and avoidance. [10:23] - Phones aren't inherently bad, but social media use can worsen anxiety through comparisons, cyberbullying, and sleep disruption. [12:17] - Dr. Ashley argues that technology and social media have amplified teen anxiety, with factors like COVID-19 and social inequality contributing. [15:14] - Anxiety and depression often exist in tandem, with societal pressures and heavy workloads increasing teens' stress. [18:00] - Anxiety should not be used as an excuse for inaction; building resilience and equipping teens with tools is very important. [19:26] - It's so important for parents to help kids manage anxiety, teach coping skills, and encourage being brave. [22:42] - Modeling anxiety strategies shows kids how to cope, but therapy can offer further support. [23:52] - Ashley points out that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are effective treatments for anxiety. [26:38] - Parents should approach therapy conversations gently, understanding that their teen may not recognize their anxiety. [27:24] - Treating teen anxiety can involve parents using strategies like SPACE, focusing on calm, non-judgmental conversations. [30:21] - Parents of teens with anxiety often feel isolated and judged, but Dr. Ashley encourages listeners that support groups can help. [32:57] - To manage social anxiety, parents should limit exposure to social media to prevent unnecessary stress.

Adolescence often brings significant changes in behavior. Heightened emotions during this time can lead to outbursts or dramatic reactions, which may alarm parents unaccustomed to such intensity. This shift can leave parents feeling confused, frustrated, and even fearful. Joining us today is the insightful Leslie Cohen-Rubury, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 39 years of experience supporting families, couples, individuals, and children. Leslie is the creator of the podcast Is My Child A Monster?, where she helps parents navigate the often rocky waters of parenting teens. In this episode, Leslie will share effective strategies for addressing our teens' "monstrous" emotions.   Key Takeaways ➡️ Parents often feel guilty and ashamed about their child's behavior. ➡️ Intense emotions in teens can seem illogical to parents. ➡️ Understanding the biological and social factors influencing a child's emotions is crucial. ➡️ Parents should recognize when their child is in 'emotion mind.' ➡️ Validation can help de-escalate intense situations with teens. ➡️ It's important for parents to witness their child's discomfort without trying to fix it immediately. ➡️ Offering skills to children should be done without pressure; let them choose when to use them. ➡️ Building a strong parent-child connection can reduce conflict. ➡️ Post-conflict discussions should focus on solutions, not blame. ➡️ Parenting requires learning and practice; it's not instinctual.    Meet Leslie Leslie Cohen-Rubury is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with 39 years of experience working with families, couples, individuals and children.

Today, we're diving into a topic that affects many kids, teens, and adults: social anxiety. Social anxiety is more than just the usual nervousness or shyness; it can significantly impact daily life, making even the simplest social interactions panic-inducing. We're going to break down what social anxiety is, how it differs from normal social worries, and most importantly, how to spot it in children and teens. Our guest today is Sarah Olivo, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience. Sarah specializes in evidence-based treatments, particularly CBT, and is dedicated to helping children, teens, and young adults overcome anxiety and achieve meaningful change in their lives. As the Head of Lumate Academy, Sarah is passionate about spreading the benefits of CBT to those with limited access to these life-changing therapies. In this episode, we'll explore the various types of treatment options available, with a particular focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We'll also discuss practical ways parents and educators can support kids and teens struggling with social anxiety. Understanding the difference between typical developmental anxiety and social anxiety is crucial. While it's normal for kids to experience some level of anxiety as they grow, social anxiety is characterized by an intense fear of being judged or embarrassed in social situations, often leading to panic. With Sarah's guidance, by the end of this episode, you'll better understand social anxiety, its impact, and the powerful ways we can help our kids and teens manage and overcome it.    Show Notes: [2:18] - Many kids and teens experience anxiety and a lot of times they are a normal part of growing up. [3:29] - Some of the questions asked are, “How frequently is anxiety happening?” and “Is it causing a lot of distress for the child or the family?” [4:57] - There are types of anxiety that are developmentally appropriate to experience at different stages of development. [6:00] - The core of social anxiety is the fear of being judged by others and embarrassed in some way. [7:01] - For many kids and teens with social anxiety, social situations are panic-inducing. [8:38] - There is also Generalized Anxiety Disorder which does differ from social anxiety. [11:28] - As parents, we can read our child's mind. There are times when we won't be able to tell the thoughts that lead to anxiety. [13:33] - For those with social anxiety, it's not that they don't know how to act in certain situations. [15:27] - There are ways to get help. One of the most effective treatments for social anxiety is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) [18:04] - Social situations activate the threat center for those with social anxiety. [21:19] - For treating social anxiety, goals will be different for each individual. [23:25] - Social anxiety is far different from simply being an introvert. [26:23] - Individual programs are fine, but group programs are excellent for helping overcome social anxiety struggles and meet goals. [29:04] - Privacy is a concern for some group programs, but it is not something to worry about. [32:18] - Social anxiety that goes unmanaged can lead to chronic anxiety. [35:15] - If someone as a child or a teenager struggles with social anxiety, it is likely that a parent also does. [38:07] - At school, teachers tend to cater to a child or teen's social anxiety. [39:56] - Oftentimes we only notice the negatives. We need to notice when a child is working on their struggles and practicing the things they're learning.   About Our Guest: Sarah Olivo, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist who believes that empathy, collaboration, and a sense of humor are the bases for any good therapy. Sarah is a staunch believer in evidenced-based psychology and has worked diligently to become fluent in many forms of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). In short, Sarah's approach has rigorous research at its core, and she continually seeks out training opportunities so that she can be on the front lines of the most modern and effective treatments. Sarah brings over 20 years of clinical experience when helping her clients get the changes they want out of their lives, as quickly as possible. Her goal as the Head of Lumate Academy is to help spread CBT far and wide so that children, teens, and young adults with less access can start making these changes as well.   Connect with Sarah: Lumate Health Website   Links and Related Resources: Episode 131: Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Kids and Teens with Dr. Shadab Jannati How Social Anxiety Differs From Shyness and How to Help Your Child Episode 171: Is It Shyness or Social Anxiety? with Dr. Fran Walfish Episode 170: Understanding Selective Mutism with Dr. Danielle Cornacchio   Connect with Us: Get on our Email List Book a Consultation Get Support and Connect with a ChildNEXUS Provider Register for Our Self-Paced Mini Courses with LIVE AMA Sessions   The Diverse Thinking Different Learning podcast is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical or legal advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

When 6,058 endcrinologist from multiple european countries were polled for this study, they determined that for a MAJORITY of patients that had hypothyroid syptoms while being on T4 ONLY was ALL IN THEIR HEADS and patients have unrealsitic expectations on how they should be feeling...   This episode is a heartfelt exploration into the often-dismissed symptoms of hypothyroidism and the struggle to be heard and adequately treated in the medical community. Dr. Warren passionately argues against the study's conclusion that cognitive behavioral therapy is the primary solution for patients with persistent symptoms, advocating instead for a more holistic and informed approach to thyroid care. In this episode, you'll uncover: - Dr. Warren's personal reaction to a study that highlights the disconnect between patient experiences and medical acknowledgment of persistent hypothyroid symptoms. - The alarming notion that a significant number of practitioners attribute patient symptoms to psychosocial factors, despite clear indications of thyroid hormone imbalances. - The importance of comprehensive thyroid testing, including TSH, Free T3, and T4, to truly understand and address thyroid health, especially for those post-thyroidectomy. - The power of patient advocacy and the necessity of finding practitioners willing to listen and collaborate on treatment plans that include T3 when necessary. - The critical role of functional practitioners in guiding patients through the complexities of thyroid health, navigating the medical system, and advocating for optimal care. - The socioeconomic disparities in thyroid treatment access and the need for a more equitable healthcare system.   Studye referenced: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38368541/ NEXT STEPS: //To join a community that champions your thyroid health journey, check out Dr. Warren's Thyroid Inner Circle at https://www.drrebeccawarren.com/thyroidmembership //To learn more about Dr. Warren's approach and how you can work with her, visit https://www.drrebeccawarren.com //For a comprehensive understanding of your thyroid labs and how to optimize them, grab the free Optimal Lab eBook at https://www.drrebeccawarren.com/thyroidlabsguide.   Don't forget to leave a five-star review if this episode resonates with you, subscribe for more empowering content, and share this powerful message with anyone who needs to hear that they are not alone in their thyroidless journey.       ---   Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Welcome back to the Diverse Thinking Different Learning Podcast. Today, we're diving into a crucial topic that affects families worldwide: childhood anxiety. Joining us is Dr. Elizabeth Karp, a licensed clinical child psychologist and adjunct lecturer at Stanford University School of Medicine. With her expertise in evidence-based interventions for ADHD, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder, Dr. Karp provides invaluable insights into supporting children and families facing these challenges. In this episode, we're building on our previous discussions about childhood anxiety, delving deeper into its prevalence and impact. Dr. Karp highlights the importance of recognizing signs of anxiety in children, such as changes in behavior and social withdrawal. We'll explore how anxiety affects not only the child but also the entire family dynamic. Dr. Karp shares practical strategies for parents, including the SPACE program, which empowers families to navigate anxiety together. From understanding the role of parental involvement to implementing supportive techniques, this conversation offers valuable guidance for parents and families who want to help their children and might not know where to begin. Show Notes: [2:47] - Anxiety is incredibly common but is often not treated. [3:31] - How is your child's suspected anxiety getting in the way of them living the life they want to live? [4:37] - Is this a change for them? Are they holding back in areas they used to be engaged with? [5:18] - How is their anxiety affecting the entire family? [7:31] - The answers to these questions can guide a parent to understand that their child's anxiety needs more attention than general worry. [9:47] - It is recommended to have an initial consultation with a provider or begin with a pediatrician who can make a referral. [13:41] - There are so many things that anxiety impacts. Parents are experts on their child, but a psychologist can help as an expert on anxiety. [15:25] - Unfortunately, there are long wait lists for mental health support. [16:55] - Think about ways a child can participate in mastery experiences. Dr. Karp explains what this is and how it supports them. [18:57] - Seeing themselves improving a skill over time helps build confidence and resilience. [20:20] - SPACE is Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions and Dr. Karp describes how this program can help parents learn how to help their child. [22:56] - Dr. Karp demonstrates one of the strategies used in the SPACE Program called supportive statements. [26:08] - The strategies in SPACE are very “portable.” [28:08] - Parental involvement is key in a child's treatment of anxiety. [30:58] - It is so powerful for children to hear how you, as an adult, manage your own anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and influence one another. As a social worker and financial therapist, I'll share how you can understand more about this type of therapy and what you might gain from CBT. As always, I'm here to point out where things go awry, and I'll talk about some of the “cons” of this intervention (hint: you can't think your way to wealth). Curious? Make sure to tune in!

How do you reach the goal of a balanced brain? What will the future of mental health treatments look like, and how do we find the line between psychology and physiology? Camilla Nord leads the Mental Health Neuroscience Lab at the University of Cambridge and is the author of the new book, The Balanced Brain: The Science of Mental Health, which explores several scientific developments that are revolutionizing the way we think about mental health, showing why and how events—and treatments—can affect people in such different ways.Camilla and Greg discuss how phobias, immune responses, and learning intertwine, painting a picture of a brain that wields a direct influence on our physical states. They also examine the role of dopamine, unveiling its true colors in motivation and the intricate dynamics of mental health treatments from Cognitive Behavior Therapy to the uncharted territories of psychedelics and chore therapy. And finally Camilla lays out her view of the shifting landscape of mental health research. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Brain disruptions happen in the brain, whether neurological or physiological 05:21: If you look at the history of psychiatry, lots of conditions that are now considered neurological conditions, because we understand to some degree their physiological basis, something like epilepsy, were not long ago called psychiatric conditions because we didn't. And it's sort of like every time we understand the basis of a brain disorder, it gets sucked up into a different category, into this neurology category. When in reality, these are all brain disorders that we have a better or worse understanding of the origin for. And often, we know less about neurological disorders than people might think. And we might know more about psychiatric disorders than people might think, but they are all disruptions happening in the brain. Awareness isn't enough to fix mental health36:58: Mental health is something that we all experience. Mental illness is not; it is something that some of us experience sometimes. In those times, it's critical to get those people the resources and treatments that they need. And sometimes, mental health awareness campaigns get in the way because it makes something like anxiety seem like a universal phenomenon, rather than anxiety disorders as a specific phenomenon that some people really suffer from and need help for.Brain disruptions happen in the brain, whether neurological or physiological32:05: I think often, one assumption is that dopamine just feels good. And whenever you experience something that kind of feels good, that must be dopamine. That's actually a mischaracterization of dopamine…[32:30] Dopamine, what it really is closer to is when you want something, when you're motivated to get something. And then it also is, of course, involved in how you learn about that thing. So it has a couple of different functions, different roles in the brain. But the motivational role of dopamine is a really fascinating one because it means you could be motivated to get something that isn't even necessarily pleasurable.Unmasking dopamine30:21: I think if you asked people who experience pain, they would say the optimal amount of pain is zero. But that's because we forget just how much we've learned about the world through pain. So if you look at a toddler in pain at some point every single day, and that's how they learn what things not to do so that they don't injure themselves, so they don't walk into a table, so they, you know, catch themselves when they fall over and don't just smash their face, so adapt to the world, they fit themselves in the world, partially via those painful experiences.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Hedonia and EudaimoniaAmy EdmondsonBayesian statisticsPlaceboDr. Caitlin HitchcockBipolar disorderGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at the University of CambridgeMental Health Neuroscience LabLinkedInSocial Profile on XPsychology Today ProfileHer Work:The Balanced Brain: The Science of Mental HealthGoogle Scholar PageResearchGate

Perfectionism isn't a personality quirk. It's a pattern of reinforced behaviors that can seep into every aspect of your life.You may set certain standards for yourself, certain rules about how things are supposed to be or how you are supposed to behave; while you may meet those standards for a while, they eventually - and inevitably - fall short. Then, you feel crushed. Then, you criticize yourself. And then, to drown out the negativity, you set new goals, standards, and expectations for yourself. The cycle of ineffective perfectionistic actions repeats and maintains itself.There is nothing wrong with striving to do things right and perfectly - that's natural when you deeply care about things and what matters to you. And, as you have heard me say before, it's extremely important that you learn to harness the power of perfectionistic actions without losing yourself. In this podcast episode, I chat with Monica Basco, Ph.D. We discuss specific topics related to perfectionism in detail:(a) A large part of the conversation clarifies how having high standards and being perfectionistic can be both, beneficial and detrimental, and finding the balance between the two is crucial.(b) We also discussed the interplay between perfectionistic behaviors and procrastination as two sides of the same coin.(c) Monica and I highlighted the fact that setting high-goals is productive when one can tolerate failure. However, learning to pursue what matters and learning to let things go - as the right thing to do - is also important.(d) Finally, we discuss ideas for you to conduct a functional analysis, or in other words, we discuss key questions for you to understand your drive to engage in perfectionistic actions (e.g., what is my mind trying to protect me from right now?)Key TakeawaysDiscussing perfectionism and high-achieving behaviorsUnderstanding the impact of high goalsThe role of confidence in goal settingThe intersection of perfectionism and procrastinationShow notes with time-stamps01:00 Understanding Fear and Perfectionism01:31 Dealing with Perfectionism and High-Achieving Behaviors02:35 Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Perfectionism04:14 Setting Goals and Dealing with Failure05:12 Understanding Overachievement and Expectations08:37 Dealing with Rejection and Pursuing Goals20:43 Understanding the Intersection of Perfectionism and Procrastination(*) Receive free weekly science-based, compassionate, and actionable skills to stop ineffective playing-it-safe(*) Figure out your playing-it-safe profile in 5 minutes and identify the key thinking strategies that keep you living in your head(*) Learn ACT skills for anxious achievers by taking Dr. Z.

In today's episode of the podcast, we interview Dr. Judith Beck, a prominent figure in the field of psychology and author of the highly regarded textbook, Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Basics and Beyond, which is a staple in the academic journey of many students in psychiatry, psychology, counseling, social work, and psychiatric nursing. This book, translated into 20 languages, is a key resource in the U.S. as well as globally. Dr. Beck serves as the president of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy, which she co-founded with her late father, Dr. Aaron Beck, who is considered the father of CBT. The Beck Institute is a non-profit organization based in Philadelphia. In addition to her leadership role, she is a Clinical Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, where she educates residents.

Today, we're answering the question, “Can play therapy help my child?” But first, we need to understand what play therapy is and what it is not. Our guest, Cathi Spooner shares insights on helping children navigate complex emotions through play therapy. And there's a lot to talk about! We've had several episodes discussing different treatment modalities and information about ways we can provide social and emotional support to our children and adolescents. Play therapy might be the right fit for your child and your family. Listen to find out how Cathi has used play therapy to support children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce and separation, attachment issues, self-regulation issues, and grief and loss.    Show Notes: [2:56] - Play therapy is about helping children access the therapeutic powers of play through a specific therapy modality. It's grounded in a theoretical model. [4:32] - Play is the language of children. [5:13] - It is more than just pulling out games and toys. [6:29] - To an outsider looking in, it looks like the counselor or therapist is just playing. But they know how to use play to work through emotions. [7:36] - Children naturally work things out and make sense of the world through play. [10:43] - Cathi describes the types of toys and games in a play therapy room. [12:36] - Anger and aggression are normal emotions and parents tend to want to avoid them. [15:12] - Play gives therapists a way to see what's going on underneath a child's behavior. [17:32] - Children need parents to be able to co-regulate emotions. [19:31] - Children can't be the ones responsible for learning how to regulate their emotions. [22:02] - One key is to empower parents to continue this work at home outside of the therapy room. [24:22] - Parents need support and guidance on how to help their children. [28:20] - If parents don't trust the therapist, they will not be able to feel comfortable and confident in being the parent they want to be. [31:26] - Expressive art is an amazing modality to incorporate into play therapy to show children other ways to work through and make sense of things without verbally articulating. [33:14] - When we're in distress, making sense of things is challenging. Play makes it more accessible.   About Our Guest: Cathi Spooner is an LCSW and RPT-S.

He is a he's a fascinating individual.  He works in what we call Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.  We get into that a little bit. It's a pioneering form of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. It's a little less, I don't know, a little less forgiving in a way.....not as pretty. It forces you to kind of think about your reaction to  antecedents and how you can change your reaction to those....and it would change the outcome quite a bit for you.  As well as working with rational emotive behavior therapy, he's also specializes in EMDR  We've talked about EMDR quite a bit and he, he makes some good points about how he works with the two and how one is more generalized one might be more specific. It was a really good conversation with a fascinating individual.

Go enjoy your Thanksgiving.Enjoy your time with family. Enjoy your time with friends. Enjoy some time off from work, hopefully. And get out there and do something for yourselves.

— Self-care is often misunderstood. While many associate it with indulgent activities like spa days and bubble baths—and these can indeed be forms of self-care—it fundamentally revolves around identifying energy drains and rejuvenating oneself to peak levels. We frequently recognize the need to decelerate, take breaks, or even relinquish some of our responsibilities. Yet, the idea of planning these respites might seem overwhelming, especially when already submerged in an overwhelming list of tasks. It's crucial to remember that it's not just physical chores that wear us out. Emotional fatigue, incessant thoughts, and a mind constantly in motion can be equally draining. Once trapped in this continuous cycle, breaking free might seem like a daunting task. Take a moment to ponder the sources of your exhaustion, both past and present. Reflect on your surroundings and the events in your life, but also introspect about mental strains. Ask yourself: Are unresolved conflicts consuming your thoughts? Do you find yourself agitated by factors beyond your control? Are past regrets or future anxieties weighing you down? In this episode, we discuss self-care, well-being, intentional living and everything else in between!

This week I'm continuing my series with Dr. Joel Minden, and we discussed a fun and interesting topic: psychotherapists in popular media, including film, TV, and comic strips. We explored what these depictions get right, the challenges of presenting therapy accurately, and why therapists so often are portrayed as buffoons. Specific topics we touched on included: Common therapist tropes in movies and TV shows The movie Mumford Richard Dreyfuss as Leo Marvin in the 1991 film What About Bob? The accelerated pace of change in dramatized versions of therapy Therapists pushing their patients to “go deeper” and explore painful parts of their lives The TV show Shrinking The “psychiatrist” Lucy Van Pelt in the Peanuts comic strip Robin Williams's portrayal of therapist Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting Steve Carrell as therapist Alan Strauss in The Patient Jennifer Melfi (played by Lorraine Bracco) on The Sopranos Gabriel Byrne as therapist Paul Weston on In Treatment The iconic tissue pass in therapy The potentially big impact of small interventions in therapy, and in life Harry Stack Sullivan's Interpersonal Theory and Psychotherapy (affiliate link) The movie Suture and psychogenic amnesia Larry David's therapist on Curb Your Enthusiasm The power dynamics of chairs in therapy office Joel Minden, PhD, is a clinical psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety and related disorders.

This week I'm continuing my series with Dr. Joel Minden, and there's no one I'd rather talk with about how to handle worry. Joel is a true expert on this topic.

Specific topics we touched on included: Anxiety vs. worry The implicit goal of anxiety The similarities between obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) Intolerance of uncertainty Worry as a learned behavior that is reinforced (rewarded), making it more likely to continue Finding alternatives to replace worry The sense of helplessness that can lead to depression Whether worry can ever be productive The value of writing down one's worries Possible signatures of unproductive worry Shifting attention to what we can control rather than focusing on the uncontrollable The downsides of distraction as a way to deal with anxiety and worry Accepting uncertainty when the outcome would be truly bad Being more specific about one's worst-case fears Unhelpful distraction vs. more helpful and productive engagement with life Allowing anxiety to “come along for the ride” The role of meditation in dealing with worries Joel's use of CBT techniques for dealing with his own worry and anxiety Joel Minden, PhD, is a clinical psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety and related disorders.
