Grandpa Bill & monthly Guest Byron Athene talk-Logic-Establishing the Core Conflict1. "Defining the Gap": We've talked about the ideal of Formal Logic versus the reality of Human Logic. Can you explain that difference in terms of a clinical symptom? What does it look like when a patient's 'psychological logic' completely overrides objective reality, and how much emotional pain does that conflict cause?Logic in Modern Therapy (CBT)2. "Cognitive Restructuring": Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is largely about identifying and challenging illogical thinking patterns. Could you give us a concrete example of a common cognitive distortion—like 'all-or-nothing thinking'—and walk us through how a therapist logically 'disproves' that internal rule for the client?Logic in Historical Therapy (Psychoanalysis)3. "The Logic of Dreams": You mentioned Freud's Primary Process Logic which governs the unconscious. How is the 'logic' we see in a client's dreams or neurotic symptoms actually a form of illogical problem-solving for the unconscious mind, and how does tracing that 'logic' help the analyst?Logic and Development4. "Regressing Under Stress": Piaget showed us that Formal Operational Logic (the ability to reason hypothetically) is a late developmental achievement. When an adult is under extreme stress or trauma, do they often emotionally or cognitively regress to a simpler, more concrete logic? And if so, how does that regression make their problems seem inescapable?Logic and Emotion5. "The Logic of Feeling": Many people use the phrase, "It felt true, so it must be true." How do you help a client separate the validity of a feeling (the feeling itself is real) from the validity of the conclusion that feeling suggests?Cultural and Contextual Logic6. "External Logic": Logic is often treated as purely internal, but how much is a person's 'logical' framework actually shaped by their family history, cultural background, or societal environment? Can a perfectly logical person in one culture be considered wildly illogical in another?7. "Teaching the Logic Habit": For our listeners who want to start thinking more clearly and suffering less from their own internal illogic, what is one simple daily mental exercise or habit they can adopt to begin strengthening their Formal Logic muscles and challenge their ingrained cognitive biases?#ByronAthene, #Logic, #Philosophy, #CriticalThinking ,#LogicalFallacies, #Rationality, #Mindset, #SelfImprovement, #CognitiveBias, #YouTuberInterview, #Podcast, #GrowthMindset, #PersonalGrowth, #AppliedLogic,
This episode addresses a terrifying but common experience for midlife women: the cognitive changes, or "brain fog," that pop up during perimenopause and menopause. Many women fear they are experiencing early-onset dementia.Host Dr. Rachel Pope speaks with Dr. Rita Shkullaku, a board-certified internist with a special interest in nutrition, obesity, and hormones as they relate to cognitive wellness and healthy aging.The Reality and Biology of Brain FogDr. Shkullaku confirms that brain fog—forgetfulness, concentration issues, and a blank mind—is very real. She notes that having "mild cognitive issues for eight to ten years has no small impact" on high-functioning women.The problem stems from both: Direct Effects: Estrogen drops affect the brain's ability to use the prefrontal cortex and manage stress. Indirect Effects: Severe sleep deprivation from night sweats and hot flashes dramatically worsens cognition.To distinguish serious issues from hormonal brain fog, Dr. Shkullaku uses the Self-Report vs. Intervention rule: women with typical brain fog are aware of their struggle, while those with true early dementia are often unaware and brought in by family.Practical Strategies and TreatmentManagement requires a holistic approach, starting with the foundation: Prioritize Sleep: Address the underlying hormonal issues or anxiety that keep you awake. Redistribute Responsibility: Normalize the struggle and ask partners/family for help to create time for self-care. Complex Cognitive Training: Pick up a new complex activity (like a new instrument or language) to engage the brain differently. Nutrition: Follow the MIND Diet (a hybrid of the Mediterranean and DASH diets).Treatment: If medically eligible, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a great option, primarily by eliminating sleep-disrupting symptoms. If not, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and addressing reversible causes (like iron or B12 deficiencies) are crucial.
When seen with clarity, the dharma sheds light on nearly every aspect of our daily lives. In this highly engaging talk, Eve Decker explores in plain language how Buddhist teachings can help us deal with our daily struggles. By highlighting the intersection of Buddhist wisdom and neuroscience, she shows how ancient teachings align with modern psychological frameworks.Eve emphasizes that the Buddha was, in many ways, a master psychologist—offering insights into suffering, habit formation, and emotional regulation that contemporary science continues to affirm. Eve draws on the work of Dr. Rick Hanson and Dr. Daniel Siegel to illustrate how mindfulness and compassion practices can rewire the brain, and she highlights how Buddhist teachings on awareness, intention, and ethical living are echoed in therapeutic models like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Polyvagal Theory.Eve also breaks down several key concepts that bridge Dharma and psychology:Neuroplasticity – the brain's ability to change through repeated practice, supporting the Buddhist emphasis on intentional cultivation.Negativity bias – our tendency to focus on threats, which mindfulness helps balance by training attention toward wholesome states.Self-directed neuroplasticity – consciously reinforcing positive traits like gratitude and kindness, a core aim of both Dharma and CBT.Internal Family Systems (IFS) – recognizing and compassionately working with different “parts” of ourselves, much like Buddhist teachings on non-self and multiplicity of mind.Polyvagal Theory – understanding how safety and connection regulate our nervous system, aligning with the Buddhist emphasis on compassion and relational presence.The role of repetition – how consistent practice strengthens beneficial traits, whether through meditation or therapeutic exercises.Throughout the talk, Eve reminds us that transformation is possible—not through force, but through gentle, repeated attention. With warmth and clarity, she shows how both science and spirituality point toward the same truth: we can train the mind toward freedom.______________Eve Decker has been practicing Insight Meditation since 1991, and has taught groups, daylongs, and short retreats since 2006, particularly at Spirit Rock, the East Bay Meditation Center, and elsewhere in the Bay Area. She is a graduate of UC Berkeley and of Spirit Rock's Path of Engagement and Community Dharma Leader training programs, and has been trained in the Hakomi approach to body-based psychotherapy.

In this episode, Jeff Greenwald—world champion tennis player, licensed therapist, and sports psychology consultant—offers a rare glimpse into the intersection of clinical therapy and high-performance coaching. Jeff highlights how anxiety has become the predominant struggle both inside and outside of sport, often crippling athletes and families alike. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience, he explains how his dual training allows him to work not only on performance enhancement but also on the deeper roots of anxiety, perfectionism, and family dynamics that shape an athlete's experience. He shares how he integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Somatic Psychotherapy, tailoring each to the unique needs of athletes. Jeff clarifies how sports psychology typically focuses on attention control, motivation, and performance skills, while clinical practice digs into family systems, emotional regulation, and underlying anxiety. Listeners will also hear about Jeff's practical frameworks, including the four dimensions of focus (narrow/broad, internal/external) and his “remote control” metaphor from The Mental Edge for Young Athletes. These models help young athletes understand they have multiple tools at their disposal—but it's their responsibility to choose and apply them in the heat of competition. A major theme of the conversation is Jeff's emphasis on the “permission to miss.” With statistics showing that 70% of kids quit sports by age 16, Jeff underscores the importance of helping athletes reframe mistakes, embrace imperfection, and cultivate a mastery mindset focused on growth and process rather than outcome. Over time, athletes learn to anchor their confidence in the skills they can control—their routines, effort, and perspective—rather than in outcomes they can't. This framework not only reduces anxiety but also fosters resilience, freedom, and joy in sport. He also shares how parents can best support their children—not by rushing in to fix, but by validating their experiences and normalizing their anxiety. As a competitive athlete himself, and still competing internationally, Jeff has demonstrated how you can transform from a tentative, perfectionistic mindset to a full realization of your ability through the mastery mindset, which also catapulted him to world No. 1 in his age group. He shares how this breakthrough was instrumental to his work and how grateful he is to be in a position to help the thousands of athletes he has worked with over the past 27 years. Jeff Greenwald, MFT, is a world champion athlete, licensed psychotherapist, best-selling author, and one of the world's leading mental coaches for athletes. With over 25 years of experience helping youth, college, and professional competitors thrive under pressure, Jeff brings a rare blend of elite performance insight and clinical expertise to his work. He is the author of the international bestseller The Best Tennis of Your Life, which has sold over 80,000 copies worldwide, and the new book The Mental Edge for Young Athletes—a groundbreaking guide for building confidence, emotional resilience, and a stronger mindset in sports and life. Jeff has worked with athletes across every major sport and consulted for national teams, Fortune 500 leaders, top junior academies, and competitive athletes at all levels of sport. He is a two-time ITF World Champion and was inducted into the Northern California Tennis Hall of Fame in 2019 for his contribution in the field of sports psychology and success as a world-ranked tennis player. Through his writing, coaching, and speaking, Jeff empowers athletes and their families to navigate the mental game with clarity, courage, and lasting confidence.

We explore the complexities therapists face when parents are in severe conflict and how adhering to professional and ethical guidelines is vital for supporting both the child and the family.Emma Kate introduces us to the SPACE therapy model, focusing on the role of parents in managing childhood anxiety without falling into the trap of overprotection.

Survivor's guilt is a complex and often distressing emotional and psychological response that occurs when an individual feels guilty for surviving a traumatic event or situation when others did not. It is most commonly associated with situations like:Natural Disasters: When people survive earthquakes, hurricanes, or other natural disasters while others perish.Accidents: Surviving a car crash, plane crash, or other accidents where others involved did not survive.Combat: Soldiers who return from war zones where their comrades were killed in action.Illness: Surviving a serious illness or medical condition when others with similar conditions did not make it.Mass Shootings or Acts of Violence: Survivors of mass shootings or violent incidents may experience survivor's guilt if they escaped while others were injured or killed.Survivor's guilt can manifest in various ways, including:Feelings of Guilt: Survivors may question why they lived while others died, leading to feelings of guilt and self-blame.Flashbacks and Intrusive Thoughts: Recurrent, distressing memories of the traumatic event may plague survivors.Depression and Anxiety: Survivors may experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Social Withdrawal: They may isolate themselves from friends and family, believing they don't deserve happiness or connection.Physical Symptoms: Survivor's guilt can manifest physically, with symptoms like headaches, nausea, and fatigue.Self-Destructive Behavior: In extreme cases, survivors may engage in self-destructive behaviors, such as substance abuse or reckless actions.Understanding survivor's guilt is important because it can have a profound impact on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. It can also affect their relationships and overall quality of life. Treatment typically involves therapy, particularly trauma-focused therapies like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Support from friends, family, and support groups can also be beneficial in helping survivors cope with these challenging feelings.In this episode, we hear from a source that both surviving roommates are suffering from survivors guilt and that both have had a very difficult time in the wake of the murders.(commercial at 8:54)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Survivor's Guilt: Definition, Symptoms, Traits, Causes, Treatment (verywellmind.com)source:Roommates of Idaho Students 'Feel Survivor's Guilt' About Murders (people.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The ability to adapt and change has never been more critical than in today's rapidly evolving world. Yet most of us unwittingly sabotage our own cognitive flexibility through one common mistake: keeping yourself stuck in unhelpful thought patterns. And it starts with sleep... Sleep isn't merely rest, it's when your brain performs its most sophisticated work. During those precious hours, your neural networks physically restructure, processing new information and connecting it with existing knowledge. Research consistently shows that sleep-deprived individuals significantly underperform on learning tasks, regardless of whether they involve physical skills or mental concepts. By sacrificing sleep in the name of productivity, you're actually preventing your brain from developing the very flexibility needed to navigate complex challenges, learn and find the most effective solutions. The most powerful tool for breaking this cycle of not sleeping and being stuck in outdated belief patterns is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT, the basics of which you will learn today).

I'm often asked if I can create an “executive functioning lesson plan” that a clinician could do within a 20-minute therapy session with a student or group of students. I understand why people ask me for things like this. This traditional “pull-out” model of therapy is what many clinicians have been taught in our preservice training, and it's often what's focused on in professional development for clinicians. This model works well for many skills. It also plays a part in executive functioning intervention. But it's not enough. Doing “executive functioning” lesson plans without some type of support plan in place for other settings would be like a soccer player doing drills and conditioning without ever playing soccer. Does the right isolated work provide support and a foundation? Yes. Is it necessary? Also yes.But is it enough on its own, without direct application in the situation when those skills will be needed? Absolutely not. I know school teams are overwhelmed, and embedding support across a students' day requires systems and collaboration that aren't often in place in many schools (yet). It's a lot to ask, but it's what needs to happen. And with the right plan, it's possible-which is what I show school leaders how to do in the School of Clinical Leadership. That's why in this second episode in my series on “Five Skills to Create Your Executive Functioning Implementation Framework”, I cover the second skill: Self TalkWhat I cover in this episode:✅ The two distinct types of self-talk: Strategy self-talk and Self-belief self-talk✅ How self-talk integrates with other executive functions like time perception, future pacing, and episodic memory✅ The connection between self-talk and principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—and how to embed those principles into daily routines, not just therapy rooms✅ Why explicit instruction and modeling of self-talk helps students shift from reactive to proactive problem-solving✅ How deficits in self-talk can derail time management, task initiation, and flexible thinking—despite external supports✅ How to start working on self-talk with your students right away-even if you haven't built strong team collaboration systems yet.In this episode, I mentioned my upcoming free live virtual training hosted by Parallel Learning that's coming up on August 14, 2025 from 6:30-8:00 PM EST. It's called “Executive Functioning: Beyond Checklists and Planners”.

Summary Amy introduces Dr. Adam Rosen, an orthopedic surgeon and author of "OR Confidential: Confessions of a Gen X Surgeon," highlighting the book's exploration of the challenges and mental health struggles faced by physicians, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. She emphasizes the book's relevance to both medical professionals and patients seeking to understand the physician's journey, its consequences, and recovery . 00:00:02 Dr. Rosen shares his lifelong aspiration to become an orthopedic surgeon, detailing his training and career until his mental health crisis in 2023, which led to a year-long absence from work. He reflects on the initial desire to help people that drives many into medicine, contrasting it with the systemic pressures that erode empathy and compassion over time . 00:01:38 The discussion shifts to the impact of COVID-19 on surgical teams and patient care. Dr. Rosen describes the efficiency and synergy of his pre-COVID team, where experienced members anticipated his needs, leading to streamlined procedures. He contrasts this with the challenges of working with traveling staff during the pandemic, who, despite being highly paid, lacked familiarity with the hospital's systems and procedures, causing frustration among permanent staff . 00:04:47 Dr. Rosen elaborates on the emotional toll of striving for perfection in an environment of constant staffing and supply chain issues. He recounts his hypervigilant state, driven by the need to ensure optimal patient care amidst systemic challenges, which ultimately led to his mental health breakdown. He also mentions a quote in his book from the Hip and Knee Society about the high percentage of doctors still facing supply chain and staffing issues years after COVID . 00:08:57 Dr. Rosen describes the red flags he missed leading up to his breakdown, including chronic sleep deprivation, increased alcohol consumption, cessation of exercise and meditation, and social withdrawal. He acknowledges the feeling of being trapped by financial obligations and professional responsibilities, which prevented him from addressing his deteriorating mental health . 00:11:17 Dr. Rosen recounts the events leading to his breakdown, triggered by a combination of hospital issues, electronic medical record stress, insurance demands, a patient complication, and a lawsuit. He describes waking up one Friday unable to get out of bed, experiencing a sense of detachment at work, and ultimately being unable to move, leading to a three-week period of isolation . 00:14:34 Dr. Rosen reflects on a prior panic attack, which he initially dismissed, and contrasts it with the overwhelming fear and inability to function that characterized his breakdown. He credits his wife and therapist for intervening and initiating his treatment, highlighting the importance of support systems and access to mental healthcare . 00:18:43 Dr. Rosen discusses his experience with psychiatric treatment, including medication and an intensive outpatient program involving cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and group therapy. He describes the challenges of accepting the healthcare system's limitations while striving for optimal patient care, and the difficulty of admitting the need for help due to stigma . 00:26:26 Dr. Rosen emphasizes the importance of continuous self-assessment and seeking help, recounting how sharing his experiences has become easier over time. He notes the surprising number of older colleagues who have privately struggled with similar issues, underscoring the prevalence of mental health challenges in the medical profession . 00:35:06 Dr. Rosen details the tools and strategies he has adopted to manage his mental health, including mindfulness meditation, regular exercise, nutritious eating, social interaction, and creative outlets like writing and YouTube. He shares a personal anecdote about reframing frustrating situations by rewarding himself with a treat, illustrating his approach to managing stress . 00:36:50 Dr. Rosen discusses the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including identifying and challenging negative core beliefs and cognitive distortions. He recounts his experience in group therapy, where he had to confront his belief that he was a failure and reframe his narrative . 00:41:16 Dr. Rosen describes his current activities, including his YouTube channel, which provides information and support to patients undergoing knee replacement surgery. He also mentions his plans to resume work on a fictional medical crime thriller . 00:50:24 Amy commends Dr. Rosen for his openness and advocacy, highlighting the value of his resources for patients and healthcare professionals. She also acknowledges the unique challenges faced by female surgeons and expresses appreciation for initiatives supporting them . 00:54:51 Chapter Introduction to Dr. Adam Rosen and His Book 00:00:02 Amy introduces Dr. Adam Rosen, highlighting his book "OR Confidential: Confessions of a Gen X Surgeon," which explores the mental health challenges faced by physicians, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. She emphasizes the book's relevance to both medical professionals and patients seeking to understand the physician's journey, its consequences, and recovery.

Dr. Rosen describes the efficiency and synergy of his pre-COVID team, where experienced members anticipated his needs, leading to streamlined procedures. He contrasts this with the challenges of working with traveling staff during the pandemic, who, despite being highly paid, lacked familiarity with the hospital's systems and procedures, causing frustration among permanent staff. He notes that travelers were often paid two to three times what the home market paid. The Emotional Toll of Striving for Perfection 00:08:57 Dr. Rosen elaborates on the emotional toll of striving for perfection in an environment of constant staffing and supply chain issues. He recounts his hypervigilant state, driven by the need to ensure optimal patient care amidst systemic challenges, which ultimately led to his mental health breakdown. He also mentions a quote in his book from the Hip and Knee Society about the high percentage of doctors still facing supply chain and staffing issues years after COVID. Red Flags and the Feeling of Being Trapped 00:11:17 Dr. Rosen describes the red flags he missed leading up to his breakdown, including chronic sleep deprivation, increased alcohol consumption, cessation of exercise and meditation, and social withdrawal. He acknowledges the feeling of being trapped by financial obligations and professional responsibilities, which prevented him from addressing his deteriorating mental health. The Breaking Point 00:14:34 Dr. Rosen recounts the events leading to his breakdown, triggered by a combination of hospital issues, electronic medical record stress, insurance demands, a patient complication, and a lawsuit. He describes waking up one Friday unable to get out of bed, experiencing a sense of detachment at work, and ultimately being unable to move, leading to a three-week period of isolation. Panic Attack and the Importance of Support Systems 00:18:43 Dr. Rosen reflects on a prior panic attack, which he initially dismissed, and contrasts it with the overwhelming fear and inability to function that characterized his breakdown.

He describes the challenges of accepting the healthcare system's limitations while striving for optimal patient care, and the difficulty of admitting the need for help due to stigma.

Survivor's guilt is a complex and often distressing emotional and psychological response that occurs when an individual feels guilty for surviving a traumatic event or situation when others did not. It is most commonly associated with situations like:Natural Disasters: When people survive earthquakes, hurricanes, or other natural disasters while others perish.Accidents: Surviving a car crash, plane crash, or other accidents where others involved did not survive.Combat: Soldiers who return from war zones where their comrades were killed in action.Illness: Surviving a serious illness or medical condition when others with similar conditions did not make it.Mass Shootings or Acts of Violence: Survivors of mass shootings or violent incidents may experience survivor's guilt if they escaped while others were injured or killed.Survivor's guilt can manifest in various ways, including:Feelings of Guilt: Survivors may question why they lived while others died, leading to feelings of guilt and self-blame.Flashbacks and Intrusive Thoughts: Recurrent, distressing memories of the traumatic event may plague survivors.Depression and Anxiety: Survivors may experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Social Withdrawal: They may isolate themselves from friends and family, believing they don't deserve happiness or connection.Physical Symptoms: Survivor's guilt can manifest physically, with symptoms like headaches, nausea, and fatigue.Self-Destructive Behavior: In extreme cases, survivors may engage in self-destructive behaviors, such as substance abuse or reckless actions.Understanding survivor's guilt is important because it can have a profound impact on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. It can also affect their relationships and overall quality of life. Treatment typically involves therapy, particularly trauma-focused therapies like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Support from friends, family, and support groups can also be beneficial in helping survivors cope with these challenging feelings.In this episode, we hear from a source that both surviving roommates are suffering from survivors guilt and that both have had a very difficult time in the wake of the murders.(commercial at 8:54)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Survivor's Guilt: Definition, Symptoms, Traits, Causes, Treatment (verywellmind.com)source:Roommates of Idaho Students 'Feel Survivor's Guilt' About Murders (people.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

My guest is Dr. John Kruse, M.D., Ph.D., a psychiatrist specializing in treating people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We discuss the many stimulant and nonstimulant ADHD medications available, covering both their potential benefits and risks. We also explore behavioral approaches to managing ADHD, the key role of maintaining a consistent sleep-wake schedule, and the impact of exercise, fish oil supplementation, and video games on ADHD. Additionally, we examine the genetic and environmental factors contributing to the rise in adult and child ADHD diagnoses and offer various options to consider if you or someone you know is struggling with focus.
