Podcasts about Compulsion

Most parents think they know what their child's OCD looks like. They see the washing. The checking. The obvious behaviors.But what they're usually seeing is just the tip of the iceberg.OCD isn't only handwashing or checking. It's mental reviewing, silent debating, internal checking, trying to “neutralize” a thought, confessing, reassurance seeking, avoidance, symmetry rituals, and that constant need for things to feel just right. Many of the most powerful compulsions happen completely inside your child's mind, which means you will never see all of them.In this episode, we're talking about how OCD really works, why you can't be the OCD police, and how to shift from trying to catch compulsions to teaching your child the skills to delay and resist them. Because empowerment, not surveillance, is what actually builds long term resilience.If you want detailed guidance on how to teach your child to handle OCD at home, you can learn more at www.natashadaniels.com/parentcourse.If you are a parent who feels like you're missing something but can't quite see what OCD is doing behind the scenes, this episode is for you.Get this week's PDF handout at www.natashadaniels.com/handout***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

Clickbait psychology, dopamine loops, phantom phone vibrations, and the attention economy all trace back to one ancient survival instinct: the rustle in the grass.The same evolutionary wiring that kept our ancestors alive now drives compulsive scrolling, notification checking, and variable reward behavior. Your brain treats uncertainty like unfinished business — and modern platforms know it.Why do phantom vibrations feel real?Why does anticipation hit harder than resolution?Why does “just one more scroll” feel reasonable?From evolutionary psychology to intermittent reinforcement, from yellow journalism to modern algorithms, this episode examines how curiosity built us — and how engineered uncertainty can quietly pull us.Curiosity built us. Compulsion can undo us.The difference is whether you're exploring — or being pulled.If you appreciate calm, unsensational explorations of psychology, human behavior, and the hidden patterns shaping modern life, you're welcome to stay awhile.#Psychology #HumanBehavior #Clickbait #AttentionEconomy #Dopamine #ModernLife #evolution CHAPTER / TIMESTAMP00:00 — OPEN: The Rustle in the Grass01:07 — The Modern Rustle (Clickbait & Notifications)01:54 — What's Actually Happening03:14 — This Pattern Isn't New04:23 — When it Tilt's05:56 — The Scale Problem06:27 — AN OUNCERECOMMENDED “YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE” EPISODES1)The Warnings We Forgot — Even Though They Were Written in StoneA quiet examination of tsunami warning stones in Japan — and what happens when memory fades and certainty replaces caution.    https://youtu.be/yxxa1_-nBSo2) It Made Sense at the Time — Why Smart Decisions FailIf you were drawn to how ancient wiring shapes modern behavior, this episode explores how reasonable decisions quietly drift into failure — and why hindsight makes everything look obvious.   https://youtu.be/UJZ214F3VAUADDITIONAL READING AND REFERENCE1.

Treat-only training fails under pressure. Pure compulsion damages your dog. In this episode, we break down why balanced dog training is the only approach that creates a safe, confident dog who listens in the real world—not just your living room.Recommend Training Equipment:

Plus vous avez honte, plus vous mangez.C'est dur non ?Pourquoi la honte après avoir mangé peut-elle renforcer les compulsions alimentaires au lieu de les empêcher ?Dans cet épisode de Dans la poire !, je vous propose d'explorer un maillon souvent invisible du cycle de l'alimentation émotionnelle : ce qui se passe juste après l'épisode de compulsion.On parle beaucoup des déclencheurs - stress, ennui, fatigue, émotions difficiles, mais beaucoup moins de l'émotion qui suit souvent ces épisodes : la honte.Pourtant, la recherche montre que cette émotion joue un rôle central dans le maintien des comportements alimentaires problématiques.Les résultats sont frappants : la honte, en particulier la honte corporelle et la honte liée au fait de manger est fortement associée aux compulsions alimentaires.Dans cet épisode, nous explorons :pourquoi la honte ne protège pas des compulsionsla différence entre culpabilité et hontecomment la honte amplifie l'impulsion de manger émotionnellementce que la psychologie nous apprend sur l'autocompassion comme levier de changementJe vous partage aussi une réflexion personnelle et des pistes concrètes pour reconnaître ce moment précis où la honte s'installe, et peut-être commencer à sortir du cycle honte → compulsion → honte.Un épisode pour mieux comprendre ce qui se joue dans la tête, dans le corps et dans la relation à soi lorsque l'alimentation devient une tentative d'apaisement émotionnel.Sources : Nechita, D.-M., Bud, S., & David, D.

Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke is delivering an assessment of the Nancy Guthrie suspect that contradicts four weeks of cable news analysis. The man on that doorbell footage isn't uniquely incompetent. According to Dreeke, who spent 21 years with the Bureau including time as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, what we're seeing is baseline criminal behavior.The Walmart backpack. The awkward holster. The camera cover improvised from potted plant foliage. Dreeke explains this is what real offenders look like when you remove the Hollywood filter. The crimes that get solved—home invasions, abductions, cases that end in arrests—most involve exactly this level of preparation. We just don't have a nation watching those.Tonight we're examining the gap between trained tradecraft and what appears on the Guthrie footage. Dreeke walks through what a genuinely sophisticated version of this operation would have looked like. The uncomfortable truth: this suspect's approach was messy, and it's still working. Four weeks. No ID. No arrest. No vehicle. At what point does sloppy-but-successful mean something different?The willingness to proceed despite being recorded. The real-time problem-solving on camera. Is that lack of capacity—or is it desperation? Compulsion? Something else?Meanwhile, calls for Sheriff Chris Nanos's removal have reached unprecedented levels. But what would it actually take? We break down Arizona's legal mechanisms. A recall requires roughly 121,825 signatures in 120 days—near impossible math. Impeachment doesn't apply to county officers. Two AG investigations have gone silent. Nanos won reelection by 481 votes. His own deputies voted no confidence. His supervisors twice requested outside investigations.The system Arizona's framers built to protect elected officials from political removal now makes accountability nearly impossible.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tu ne manques pas de volonté.Si tu sais exactement quoi manger… mais qu'à certains moments tu as l'impression de “perdre le contrôle”, ce n'est pas un problème de discipline.C'est un problème de régulation du cerveau.Dans cet épisode, on plonge en profondeur dans les mécanismes neurobiologiques derrière les compulsions alimentaires et les envies incontrôlables.On décortique :• Les 3 types de faim (et pourquoi on les confond si souvent)• La vraie fonction de la dopamine — spoiler : ce n'est pas le plaisir• Pourquoi la nourriture moderne suractive ton circuit de récompense• Ce qu'est réellement l'hyperphagie• Pourquoi plus tu te contrôles… plus ton cerveau compenseLe cerveau ne choisit pas ce qui est sain.Il choisit ce qui fonctionne vite.Et tant que tu crois que c'est une question de volonté, tu te bats contre le mauvais système.Si tu vis des envies incontrôlables, des compulsions le soir ou après une journée “parfaite”… cet épisode pourrait complètement changer ton regard sur toi-même.Soutenir la régulation neurochimiqueSi les compulsions sont liées à la régulation du cerveau, le soutenir peut faire une vraie différence.Voici des options que j'utilise souvent en pratique :

To wrap up this month's focus on relationships and OCD, I dive deep into how OCD and anxiety can show up in platonic relationships.In this solo episode, I talk about common friendship-based compulsions (including reassurance seeking, mental reviewing, confessing, avoidance), the fear of being seen as "too much," recognizing patterns of rumination, and practicing self-compassion instead of self-shame.As a reminder (as with every episode this month), you are deserving of friendship, connection, and community. STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses the significance of God's Holy Spirit, sanctifying the character and conduct of the people of God. A critical part of the New Covenant, is God supernaturally writing His commandments onto the hearts and minds of His people. How important is this to truly understand, in the debate over “keeping Torah”? How much of this has gone sadly overlooked? This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.

Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing. Jesus said, I AM the Main Thing! MESSAGE SUMMARY: Today, we delve into the profound mystery of the Holy Spirit and its vital role in our Christian walk. We're reminded that it's not just about having the Holy Spirit, but allowing the Spirit to have us - to lead and guide our lives. The message emphasizes three key sins against the Holy Spirit: grieving, quenching, and blaspheming. When we choose bitterness over love, or hold onto unforgiveness, we grieve the Spirit. Every time we sin, we quench the Spirit's flow in our lives. Yet, there's hope in confession, which reopens the floodgates of the Spirit's presence. This teaching challenges us to examine our hearts: Are we truly yielding to the Spirit's guidance? Are we living holy lives that honor God? It's a call to deeper surrender and a reminder of our constant need for the Spirit's empowering presence in our faith journey.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Most men believe a dangerous lie:“If I feel aroused, I need release.”In this episode, I challenge that belief head-on.If you've ever struggled with porn addiction, compulsive masturbation, or overwhelming sexual urges that feel impossible to control, this conversation will change the way you understand your body and your mind.You don't “need” release.What you're experiencing is nervous system activation — not biological necessity.In this episode, I break down the neuroscience of porn addiction, how dopamine and porn rewire the brain, and why stress, loneliness, anxiety, and emotional overload can feel like sexual cravings. I'll explain how the nervous system regulation you've never been taught is the real key to sexual self-control.You'll learn:Why sexual urges feel uncontrollable (and why they aren't)The difference between sexual energy and sexual compulsionHow dopamine drives compulsive sexual behaviorWhy willpower fails in porn addiction recoveryHow to control sexual urges naturally without suppressionThe connection between stress and sexual cravingsPractical emotional regulation techniques to retrain your brainHow to stop masturbating as a coping mechanismWhat healthy masculinity and masculine leadership actually look likeI also share my personal story of overcoming pornography addiction and how learning to regulate my nervous system changed everything — my focus, my relationships, my emotional maturity, and even my spiritual connection.This isn't about shame.It's not about suppressing sexuality.It's about containment.It's about learning to channel sexual energy instead of discharging it compulsively.When you understand the difference between energy and compulsion, you stop trying to eliminate desire and start building capacity.And that shift — from urgency to self-leadership — is where real freedom begins.If you're serious about overcoming porn addiction, rewiring your brain from porn, and building long-term sexual self-control, this episode will give you both the mindset and the practical tools to begin.You don't need release.You need regulation.Let's build it.Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeIf you're ready to build the mindset and lifestyle that lead to long-term freedom from porn addiction, join the No More Desire free online community and connect with men who are committed to real recovery.

The Qur'an famously declares, “There is no compulsion in religion.” Yet, various forms of religious compulsion persist today in parts of the Muslim world, including death penalties for apostates and blasphemers, legal inequalities that disadvantage women and non-Muslims, and “morality police” who enforce strict norms on society.In this new book from the Cato Institute, Mustafa Akyol has assembled a team of Islamic scholars and intellectuals to articulate arguments against oppressive interpretations of Islam. Drawing on scriptural insights and contemporary realities, they contend that the Qur'anic principle of “no compulsion in religion” should be embraced fully, without exceptions.At this forum, Akyol will summarize key arguments from the book. Mirwais Balkhi will offer his commentary on the book's significance for Afghanistan and the broader Muslim world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But when they are mental in nature, things get much fuzzier. In this episode, I'm joined by OCD specialist Lauren Rosen to take the mystery out of mental compulsions and explain why your "problem-solving" brain is actually keeping you stuck.We break down the critical difference between having an intrusive thought (the obsession) and what you intentionally dowith that thought (the compulsion). Whether you are struggling with OCD, panic disorder, or health anxiety, learning to recognize internal behaviors like mental review, rumination, and self-flagellation is a vital step toward psychological flexibility.What We Discuss:Defining Mental Compulsions: Why internal behaviors like rumination, mental review, and rehearsing are active choices, not just "thoughts".The "No Equipment" Sport: How the ease and invisibility of mental compulsions make them particularly consuming and re-triggering.Thoughts vs. Thinking: Using the "square root of 17" analogy to identify when you have moved from a passive thought into an active mental behavior.The Identity Trap: Why we often mistake worrying and "thoughtfulness" for a core part of our identity or a tool for safety.Shifting Attention: How to stop compulsing without suppressing thoughts or getting into a perfectionistic battle with your own mind.About Lauren Rosen:Lauren is a licensed psychotherapist and the Director of The Center for the Obsessive Mind. She is the author of The Mental Compulsions Workbook for OCD and co-host of the Purely OCD podcast. Recovery is a journey of small, brave leaps of faith.

OCD is often misunderstood as being about cleanliness, checking, or perfectionism. In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with therapist and author Melissa Mose, LMFT, to unpack why OCD is frequently misdiagnosed for over a decade and what's really happening beneath the surface of obsessions and compulsions. Melissa's book Internal Family Systems Therapy for OCD bridges compassionate parts-based work with proven science to offer a richer path to lasting change.Using clear science and compassionate explanations, this conversation explores how OCD hijacks the brain through a cycle of alarm and relief, why reassurance and family accommodation can quietly reinforce symptoms, and what actually works in treatment. Melissa breaks down why talk therapy alone often fails OCD, how Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) retrains the nervous system, and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) adds depth, self-compassion, and relational healing to recovery.In this hol+ conversation, Dr. Taz sits down with therapist, educator, and author Melissa Mose, LMFT, to unpack what OCD really is and why it often goes undiagnosed for over a decade. Melissa shares why OCD disguises itself as “just anxiety,” how well-meaning reassurance can quietly reinforce the disorder, and why many people spend years in talk therapy without real relief.Using clear science and compassionate language, this episode explores how OCD operates through a cycle of alarm and relief, why the brain learns to depend on compulsions, and how Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) helps retrain the nervous system. Melissa also explains how Internal Family Systems (IFS) adds a relational, self-compassionate layer to treatment, helping people work with their inner world instead of battling it.This conversation also looks at the bigger picture. OCD does not exist in isolation. Dr. Taz and Melissa explore how neuroinflammation, PANS and PANDAS, hormonal shifts, trauma, ADHD, eating disorders, and chronic stress can overlap with or intensify OCD symptoms. They discuss why intrusive thoughts can be disturbing and taboo, why intolerance of uncertainty sits at the core of OCD, and how relationships and intimacy are often quietly impacted.From shame and self-blame to clarity and support, this episode offers a grounded reframe of OCD as a treatable condition rooted in brain-body patterns, not personal failure. Whether you are seeking help for yourself, supporting someone you love, or trying to understand OCD beyond the stereotypes, this conversation replaces fear with understanding and helplessness with practical pathways forward.Dr. Taz and Melissa Mose, LMFT discuss: Why OCD often goes undiagnosed for 11 to 17 years How reassurance and family accommodation make OCD worse The obsession-compulsion cycle and why it gets reinforced Why talk therapy alone often fails OCD What ERP actually does to retrain the brain How Internal Family Systems supports compassion and healing The role of uncertainty intolerance in OCD How OCD affects families, partners, and intimacy Neuroinflammation, PANS, PANDAS, hormones, and symptom flares Why intrusive thoughts do not define who you areAbout Melissa Mose, LMFT Melissa Mose is a licensed marriage and family therapist, educator, and specialist in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Jesus Followers Can Influence and Lead a Return to God by Our People, Churches, and Nation Through the “Five Exhortations” MESSAGE SUMMARY: In the Bible, you can find five exhortations, from the God, that are right on point for our times of uncertainty in America: 1) Do not fear; 2) Continue to tithe; 3) Get out of debt; 4) Help our brothers and sisters in need; and 5) Pray. The people in Malachi's day were withholding what was God's, and they were paying a price. But even in those conditions of the nation's sin and faithlessness, God said to the nation, in Malachi 3:7, “From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts. But you say, ‘How shall we return?'.”. God does not change – God today is the same faithful Creator of the Universe as He was in the time of Malachi. Return to God, both as individuals and as a nation; and see how God will bless us!   TODAY'S PRAYER: Forgive me, Father, for at times treating you as if you were my personal assistant or secretary. Your ways are unsearchable and beyond understanding. Help me to put my trust in you and not in my circumstances. In your presence, I am silenced. In Jesus' name, amen.          Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 87). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

He explains how monitoring becomes a safety behavior that teaches the brain to treat uncertainty like a problem that must be solved. Instead of trying to get perfect internal readings, Robert guides listeners to acknowledge intrusive thoughts and discomfort, allow them to be present, and intentionally refocus on values and meaningful activities. He offers practical steps to stop investigating every feeling and to build a new, automatic response to uncertainty. Robert also shares information about his 12-week Break Free from OCD program and a free discovery call at robertjamescoaching.com for those who want structured support to reduce checking, drop safety behaviors, and rebuild their lives around what matters Disclaimer: Robert James Pizey (of Robert James Coaching) is not a medical professional and is also not providing therapy or medical treatment.

  In this article, Christine Anzieu-Premmereur explores the relationship between compulsion and the body in childhood and adolescence. Using psychoanalytic theory, she analyzes how the compulsive repetition of self-destructive behaviors can represent an attempt to process and make sense of early traumatic experiences. The article highlights the importance of early therapeutic intervention in childhood to prevent emotional and addictive problems later in life. In a world where addiction and emotional difficulties affect many people, understanding the roots of these behaviors is crucial. Through psychoanalytic theory, the author guides us in exploring the underlying mechanisms of compulsive repetition and its role in shaping subjectivity. Christine Anzieu-Premmereur proposes models of early psychic processes that influence repetition compulsion, distinguishing between two types: one that fosters creativity and openness, and another that leads to disorganization and destructiveness. She examines how early relationship disturbances can contribute to addiction and compulsive behaviors in adulthood. Early therapeutic intervention is therefore essential to foster creativity and free association in patients. Ultimately, the author argues that compulsive behaviors can reflect attempts to process and make sense of early experiences, even when this process is painful or difficult. She also highlights the importance of analytic space, transitional spaces, and creative activities as settings where emotions can be explored and understood. Christine Anzieu-Premmereur is an adult and child psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, and a member of the Société Psychanalytique de Paris and the New York Psychoanalytic Institute. She directed the Parent-Infant Psychotherapy Training at Columbia University and served as chair of the IPA Committee for Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis. She has published extensively on motherhood, child psychoanalysis, psychosomatics, addiction, and the intersection of the body and compulsion. You can download a copy of the paper here.

He explains that letting go of control isn't giving up but stepping out of an unwinnable battle, and that acceptance — not elimination of anxiety — helps the nervous system settle.

God Reminds Those Who Want a Deeper Relationship with Him of His Expectations for Their Management of His Resources He Provided Them MESSAGE SUMMARY: As followers of Jesus, we want to go deeper in our personal relationship with God. However, God tells some of us that we must start being more responsible for the material things that He has provided before we can go deeper into spiritual revelations. Also, many of us, while seeking to know the Lord better, want to know His will in our lives and for the World. At the same time, we want to be filled with the Holy Spirit. In Mathew 6:19-21, Jesus is telling us that all that we have, which we tend to call our own, really comes from God. God has expectations for our good management of His resources in our personal relationship with Him: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.".   God tells us that we are to be good managers of His gifts; however, in Luke 12:19-21, Jesus completes a parable about a man who thought that all his assets were his and not from God: “'And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”. Pointedly, God is telling us that if we cannot be responsible for the earthly treasures, which He has provided us, then how can we be responsible for His Spiritual treasures that He wants to provide us as we seek to deepen our personal relationship with Him?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

This episode explores how intimacy, desire, and erotic states function as powerful tools for healing, nervous system regulation, and personal transformation. You'll learn why certain forms of conscious erotic play create genuine altered states of consciousness, not through substances or external compounds, but through the body's own internal chemistry. This conversation reframes sexuality as a core aspect of health, performance, and emotional resilience rather than something separate from personal development or spirituality. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Kimi Inch is a somatic therapist and educator with over 20 years of experience working at the intersection of intimacy, conscious kink, trauma healing, and embodied self awareness. Her work centers on helping individuals and couples access deep states of connection and healing through structured, consent based practices that engage breath, sensation, power dynamics, and presence. She is known for creating safe, grounded spaces where people can explore desire in ways that support lasting nervous system regulation and authentic self expression. Together, Dave Asprey and Kimi explore how erotic experiences trigger specific neurochemical responses including oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins, and adrenaline, and why this internal cocktail mirrors the effects of many psychedelic and somatic healing modalities. They discuss surrender, safety, attunement, and aftercare as essential components of integration, and why unexpressed desire often leaks into leadership, relationships, and performance in destructive ways. You'll Learn: • How erotic states create real altered states of consciousness through internal neurochemistry • Why intimacy can function as a powerful form of nervous system regulation and trauma healing • The difference between conscious desire and compulsive behavior • How surrender, safety, and attunement reshape emotional and relational patterns • Why suppressed desire leaks into work, leadership, and relationships • What makes healthy power dynamics healing rather than harmful • The role of aftercare and integration in long term transformation • How erotic intelligence connects to vitality, authenticity, and human performance Thank you to our sponsors! -EMR-Tek | https://www.emr-tek.com/DAVE and use code DAVE for 40% off. -Calroy | Head to https://calroy.com/dave for an exclusive discount. -Our Place | Head to https://fromourplace.com/ and use the code DAVE for 10% off your order.

Today we are sharing an episode from a brand new podcast launched on the RQ Network, Burned by a Paper Sun.Burned by a Paper Sun is a brand new, chilling, horror anthology podcast from the same brilliant creators of The Gentleman From Hell, Maeltopia and The Sleep Wake Cycle. In Burned by a Paper Sun, shadows come in a thousand shapes—some drawn long beneath a dying sky, others drifting and lost beneath a wandering cloud. Yet one certainty has always remained: every shadow must have a caster. But what if that isn't true? What if darkness could stand on its own? In this first episode William is a rational man, but even rational men are left broken by the Great Darkness of 1999. Despite his sceptical outlook, he is haunted by dreams of the most horrible and macabre variety. Most of all, he is terrorised by a single harrowing figure - the Elevator Man.Introduction and outro by Billie HindleYou can listen to the next episode of Burned by a Paper Sun by clicking on this link, or by searching for Burned by a Paper Sun wherever you find podcasts, or on the Rusty Quill website--Cast:Written by Mark AnzaloneEdited by Walker KornfeldSound mastering by Steven J.

What to listen for:Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, welcome veteran USAR handler Bob Deeds, whose journey from compulsion-based training to positive reinforcement transformed both his career and the field itself!His career trajectory spans volunteer search and rescue in the early nineties through Texas Task Force One, where he deployed to the World Trade Center with his partner, Kenzie.The devastating loss of Kenzie in a 2007 training accident nearly ended his career until his friend Sonja Heritage called at 2 AM with a powerful message: quitting meant Kenzie died for nothing.Bob credits Bob Bailey's chicken workshops as the single most transformative experience for his training mechanics. The fast-paced chickens force observational skills development whether trainers want it or not. Those mechanical skills translated directly to his dogs: when his Malinois Remy would nip holes in Bob's shirt from frustration over poor timing, Karen would smile knowingly.The dog was using positive punishment to remind Bob to pay attention to delivery, timing, and curriculum!Now teaching directionals to pet dog owners and planning chicken workshops with Robin in Iowa, Bob teaches that directional control isn't about perfect patterns, but recovery.As handler Shirley Hammond told him after his first FSA certification, disasters aren't perfect, and recovery from mistakes matters most!Key Topics:Transition from Compulsion to Positive Reinforcement Training (01:33)Loss of Partner Kenzie and Nearly Quitting (04:13)Bob Bailey's Chicken Workshops and Mechanical Skills (11:50)Chickens vs. Dogs: Speed, Visual Cues, and Pecking Behavior (17:03)Directional Training Philosophy and Real-World Applications (26:43)Arousal State Management and Food Drive Testing (40:58)Recovery Over Perfection in Disaster Work (46:16)World Trade Center Emergency Stop Example (50:51)Takeaways (53:53) Resources:Chicken Workshops:3/16/26 Option3/23/26 OptionDeeds Canine ConnectionShirley Hammond's Book: Training the Disaster Search DogFenzi Dog Sports AcademyWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

What if the part of you that does crazy or unwanted behaviors, like emotionally eating, isn't your enemy? What if it's actually trying to protect you? In this video, I share the way I love to work with compulsions: first, to bring curiosity to the conversation. The Internal Family Systems (IFS) perspective on binge eating and emotional eating is one modality that holds this view. You can completely changed how you view your compulsive behaviors. Instead of fighting the urge, what if you listened to it?

Start with a simple question: if investment drives productivity and growth, what happens to a society that keeps choosing consumption over capacity? We trace a straight line from Marx's core mechanics to Kalecki's equations, then use that line to cut through fashionable theory detours—value-form shortcuts, communization fantasies, and techno-feudal hot takes. The result is a clearer picture of why profits can soar while real investment sags, why the dollar's “miracle” masks fragility, and why printing more money can't manufacture machine tools, skills, or energy.We lay out four regimes that help decode the past 70 years: Fordist reinvestment that pushed productivity up, extractive reinvestment that scaled capacity through coercion, subsistence stagnation where neither investment nor exploitation rises, and neoliberalism's defining mix—low investment, high exploitation, and asset hoarding. From there, we unpack how U.S. trade deficits and financial inflows fed capitalist consumption while weakening the incentive to build. Debt and soft budgets smoothed the ride, but they didn't fix profitability on new capital or reverse the long slide in productivity growth. The numbers point to a coming snap-back to trend, not a new golden age.China's path raises the stakes. Sustained high investment, tighter discipline on capitalist consumption, and strategic upgrading are pushing the global cost curve down and forcing others to respond. That doesn't make China post-capitalist; it does show how targeted capacity-building can escape the stagnation trap. The practical lesson isn't romantic—it's logistical. Real constraints matter: inputs, machine tools, power, training, and time. Risk management beats magical thinking; autarky is a myth, but resilience is a plan. We argue for redirecting surplus toward compounding productivity, treating statistics as instruments not idols, and rebuilding the industrial backbone that reduces market domination over everyday life.If you're tired of theories that skip the engine room, this conversation connects the dials: profits, investment, productivity, debt, trade, and class incentives. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves charts more than slogans, and tell us: what's the first capacity you'd rebuild?Links referenced: https://open.substack.com/pub/nicolasdvillarreal/p/contra-capital-as-abstract-domination?r=2m9aw&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=falsehttps://open.substack.com/pub/nicolasdvillarreal/p/an-economic-theory-of-maximalist?r=2m9aw&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=falsehttps://open.substack.com/pub/nicolasdvillarreal/p/a-sketch-of-a-revision-to-orthodoxy?r=2m9aw&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=falseSend us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 594 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Brian breaks the Internet as Wampler debut The Compulsion DriveBrian has turned into Pedal Santa and Richard has been making new friends by daring to try something experimental on the Internet and the guys discuss it. Fair warning - there may be some ranting as there was a bit of a pile-on and our intrepid British King of Fuzz had to fight them off at the drawbridge (insert trumpet sound here). Wampler released The Compulsion Drive (TCD) which was Brian's tribute to a famous circuit and it has proved very popular for a number of reasons. The guys discuss some of the modifications Brian made, the special not-so-hidden dip-switches, and talk a little about some of the design choices that were made. Ozzy Osbourne's estate have put out a T-shirt that made the guys giggle in a puerile way and so it needs to be discussed. Meanwhile Josh Scott of JHS has been working on a new charity project and it has impressed Richard into sarcasm submission.

Dr. Mikael Palner discusses how psilocybin microdosing alters synaptic plasticity in rats and how these brain changes align with shifts in stress resiliancy and compulsive behaviors. He then discusses how these data line up with emerging reports on low-dose psilocybin as helpful in cases of OCD, and hypothesizes a plausible biological basis. ...

Observational Cinematic Compulsion Disorder, or OCCD, is a common behavioral condition characterized by involuntary ocular fixation on a neighbor's in-flight audiovisual LCD display, even in the absence of accompanying auditory stimuli. Patients with OCCD exhibit vastly impaired concentration filtration, resulting in reflexive visual tracking of narrative cinematic sequences presented on adjacent personal screens during commercial air travel. The disorder is frequently associated with heightened situational distractibility, transient dissociative drift, and a paradoxical increase in attentional salience toward media not voluntarily selected by the patient. Management of OCCD involves admission to a 19th-century gothic asylum in upstate New York, with current clinical guidelines emphasizing electroconvulsive therapy administered on a daily basis, leading to a positive outcome of preemptive engagement with self-selected entertainment to mitigate cross-screen visual intrusion.
