Podcast appearances and mentions of david teachout

In my second returning guests group chat, I delve into the complex world of therapy with colleagues David Teachout and Christine Sefein. We explore the concept of therapeutic neutrality and its relevance in today's therapy landscape. Is therapy dead? How are therapists able to maintain neutrality in an age of biases and cultural influences? And what are the limits to neutrality?We discuss the ethical obligation of therapists to disclose their opinions and biases to clients. How does this disclosure impact the therapeutic relationship and the client's journey towards healing?We touch on the delicate balance between safety and challenge in therapy, highlighting the importance of creating a space where clients feel secure yet encouraged to grow. What happens when clients bring in past experiences that shape their perceptions of therapy? How do therapists navigate these preconceptions and build trust with their clients?The conversation takes an intriguing turn as we address the ethical implications of therapists having a public presence. How does being Googleable impact the therapeutic relationship? And what are the boundaries and responsibilities of therapists in the digital age? Join us as we unravel these thought-provoking questions and explore the evolving landscape of therapy in today's world.

This week on RfRx, David Teachout returns to talk about trauma. Religious fundamentalism often wants us to define ourselves through trials and victimization to declare ourselves martyrs to a cause. Let's discuss getting out of this mindset and into one that celebrates humanistic pride within adversity.

David grew up as a Christian fundamentalist, attending a bible college and receiving a bachelor's in theology and psychology.

Episode 179 This week it’s just Micheal…luckily….there’s a guest to bail him out! David Teachout from Life Weavings and RFR (Recovering from Religion Fdn.) join him to have a chat. They discuss David’s story from growing up in a fundamentalist household to his de-conversion, education (in Christian schools) to becoming a therapist. They also discuss […]

David Teachout returns to help us answer the perennial question: What does love got to do with it? What is this fantastic emotion? From troubadours to modern musicians and rom-coms, myths to personal declarations, love and its many manifestations is almost as synonymous with humanity as the capacity for reason. Perhaps that's why they're so often pitted against one another. Let's explore love, both as a feeling and an emotion, a few expressions of it including monogamy, polyamory and relationship anarchy, and find a few principles to help us on our own tunnels of love. David Teachout is a mental health therapist and photographer, focused on and teaching how creativity intersects with mental flexibility to work through life's struggles. David grew up as a Christian fundamentalist, attending a bible college and receiving a bachelor's in theology and psychology. During his studies there, David deconverted and has been on a journey of appreciating humanity and all the stories we create to build meaning and purpose.

In his spare time, David enjoys reading a copious amount, both fiction and non-fiction, exploring perspective through photography, and maintains a blog at www.lifeweavings.com and a podcast at www.humanitysvalues.com The primary focus of Recovering from Religion (RfR) is to offer hope, healing, and support to those struggling with issues of doubt and non-belief. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual's life.

Mindfulness is one of those wibbly wobbly timey wimey words that seems to mean everything and nothing all at once which… honestly is a little on brand for the American idea of Buddhist psychology. But like, what actually is any of this? And what, if anything at all, can 2,500 years of what we can only charitably call ‘research' have to say about our modern life and times? Licensed Therapist David Teachout joins Kara and Christy for a discussion on the east-meets-west rumble between Buddha and Freud. Your calls and questions, buddhist psychology and of course what's turning us on on this penultimate episode of SecX! Secular Sexuality show is LIVE every Thursday from 7:00 to 8:30pm Central Time

This week on RfRx, David Teachout is taking us on a deep dive into Buddhism. Buddhism, in its core tenets, is as much philosophy as it is religion. Contrary to most religions, there's no requirement to be a dualist while still appreciating, and incorporating Buddhist principles into one's life. For many atheists raised, and repeatedly told, that there's no meaning found outside of fundamentalism, Buddhism is an example that proves that wrong. David Teachout is a mental health therapist and photographer, focused on and teaching how creativity intersects with mental flexibility to work through life's struggles. David grew up as a Christian fundamentalist, attending a bible college and receiving a bachelor's in theology and psychology.

David Teachout is a licensed therapist specializing in religious abuse, as well as the host of Humanity's Values podcast and author of Journeys of a Spiritual Atheist. In today's episode, we explore: what differentiates a religion from a cult? According to David, there's no clear distinction, but much of it comes down to mind control. How do people who have been indoctrinated into mistrusting their own minds and senses learn to regain trust in their inner guidance? And how does a fervent obsession with moral purity obscure well-intentioned people from recognizing true injustice?David Teachout is a mental health therapist and photographer, focused on and teaching how creativity intersects with mental flexibility in working through the inevitable difficulties in life.

Platitudes and pithy statements are so enthralling, even when supposedly dedicated to reason and rationality. “Just follow the science,” “the truth will set you free,” “trust your intuition” are just a few examples of simple, and seemingly deep, platitudes. In this RfRx, David Teachout will join us once again to explore why platitudes are so enthralling, even when supposedly dedicated to reason and rationality. We'll cover ways to reinvigorate our humility, delve into the “scout mindset,” as well as learn to acknowledge that religion isn't the source of our irrationality, we are. As an educator and trainer for health providers and other professionals, David Teachout also has a private practice helping adults and couples with learning resiliency skills related to relationship difficulties and trauma. He maintains a podcast, “Humanity's Values,” and a blog related to mental health topics. David has worked in mental health care for 15 years, and holds a master's in both forensic and counseling psychology, as well as currently working towards a PsyD in Clinical Psychology.

Healthy relationships, including family, friendships, partnerships, coworkers, and leader/subordinate relationships, can be difficult to maintain in the best of situations. It becomes impossible, however, when one person in the relationship is committed to behaviors that are coercive, deceptive, destructive, and/or self-serving. These unhealthy traits sometimes show up in two pathological ways: narcissism and psychopathy. While these personality traits are not nearly as common as experience, TV shows, movies, and the internet would have you believe, there's still plenty of signs to keep an eye out for. In this RfRx, we'll explore those traits and ways to reduce the influence that people with those traits may have on you.

The holiday season can be a time of strong emotional reactions, and not just because of the usual religious overtones. Feelings of disconnection and loneliness can be experienced due to the pressure of traditions and social expectations, even when around loved ones.

A foundational piece of fundamentalist thinking is black/white, us vs them, view of the world. Often, even having left the structure of religion behind, we still maintain that either/or worldview. In this RfRx discussion, David will work through why this is still so enticing, even without a god, and how to expand beyond it when engaging with other people in dialogue and with ourselves in self-evaluation. As an educator and trainer for health providers and other professionals, David Teachout also has a private practice helping adults and couples with learning resiliency skills related to relationship difficulties and trauma. He maintains a podcast, “Humanity's Values,” and a blog related to mental health topics.

A religious identity is more than a label put on for church services. It is a way of seeing yourself, your relationships, and the world around you in a structured ethical way. Everything potentially has meaning at a cosmic level. Losing that sense of structure can be devastating. Here we're going to look at why you don't have to give up your Values, even the ones you had before, and consider how to build meaning/purpose/ethics into your life without cosmic interruption. David Teachout, LMHC is a licensed mental health counselor who grew up in Michigan, home of taking the first day of hunting season off from school, and went to a bible college in my then quest to become a minister for Christianity. Questions ensued, answers were not forthcoming, and the result is a life of studying humanity from a place of curiosity rather than condemnation. David currently resides in the Seattle area, with a career almost entirely focused on psychology and possess a sometimes frustrating desire to pursue complicated conversations Hosted by Amaia Perez, the RfR Online Programming Director, and Eric Wells, the RfR Support Group Director.

Experiencing abuse is already difficult, yet it can be made more so when systems in place to support your growth are themselves the source of the abuse. The social relationship embodied as religious ideology is powerful because it connects us to one another, and provides a structure for meaning/purpose and ethics for one's life. We'll look at how this structure can be and is used to undermine the building of self-worth, perpetuating a moral injury form of abuse, and how to move through and beyond it with resiliency.

The history of Christianity is a combination of individual struggles, institutional power and the profoundly human desire to find an answer to existence. The tension we all experience in the search for that answer is between the singularity of fundamentalism and the pluralism of a world that is so much bigger than any single perspective can hope to hold. We'll be looking at Christianity as a whole through a lens of motivated reasoning and that human tendency to prefer a single path to truth. David grew up in Michigan, home of taking the first day of hunting season off from school, and went to a bible college in my then quest to become a minister for Christianity. Questions ensued, answers were not forthcoming, and the result is a life of studying humanity from a place of curiosity rather than condemnation.

Recorded on March 15, 2021 The primary focus of Recovering from Religion (RfR) is to offer hope, healing, and support to those struggling with issues of doubt and non-belief. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual's life.

This is an interview I did for the Humanity’s Values Podcast with David Teachout. David is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. He is the founder of Life Weavings where he offers both counseling and coaching services. We had a really good conversation about my personal struggles and development as a therapist and what I have learned as a result. We discuss various therapeutic philosophies as well as the nature of the client/therapist relationship as the primary agent of change as to why therapy works. We also discuss the importance for therapists to remain committed to their own personal and professional development.

Relationally Focused Psychodynamic Therapy (RFPT) is an evidence-based treatment approach with strong roots in depth psychology (particularly contemporary relational psychoanalysis), dialogical philosophy, and neuroscience. As of December 2018, the Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy has set forth policy recommendations that evidence-based therapy relationships and responsiveness be taught as frequently as other evidence-based treatments. (Reference: Norcross, J. C., & Lambert, M. J. (2019). Psychotherapy Relationships that work III. Psychotherapy, 55,4, p. 303-315). The RFPT certificate program is a direct response to these policy recommendations.

What is a Life Weaving Conversation?  It's a conversation where separate strands of life are strung together in a coherent way contributing to greater understanding.  The first thread in my conversation with David centered about tunnel vision. Tunnel vision is where your reality is restricted to a limited view, and in David's case, tunnel vision meant religious fundamentalism. Learning to ask questions and to question his assumptions was a critical foundation for David's journey into working as a counselor in private practice and helping veterans with invisible injuries. The second thread in our conversation explored the difficult in getting out of tunnel vision. Because it's one thing to talk about tunnel vision, but a whole different thing to actually be stuck in tunnel vision.  Relationships, it turns out, are crucial to changing your perspective.  Relationships form the backbone of our life. Even in Buddhist philosophy, everything is recognized as interconnected.  Relationships are far more important than willpower. Willpower is oftentimes why mindfulness and cognitive therapy can be misunderstood. Both mindfulness and cognitive therapy can go to battle with thoughts. You might try to 'will your thoughts' away. However, battling your thoughts only causes resistance. So the key is to change your relationship to your thoughts. As David notes, you don't act on every one of your thoughts during the day. Thoughts are more like a structure of reality. However, you can learn to accept your thoughts without getting lost in tunnel vision by having a clear understanding of your vision and values. Finally, we talked about vision and values. Particularly in a world where there's so much noise, it's perhaps the most important thing for us to form relationships and explore our values consciously. Without conscious exploration, we'll be greatly hindered in our quest to live our best lifes and to be able to respond to situations flexibly. David has a private therapy practice and he works with people all over the world in different timezones.  For more information, please visit David's Life Weavings website here.

It’s always interesting to learn how clinicians bring themselves into alignment with their deeper purpose and values. When this happens, the clinician will feel greater satisfaction and fulfillment in the work they do. Today’s show is another that focuses on ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Training) as we talk to today’s guest about his experience as he transitioned into private practice. David Teachout is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Seattle, Washington, although he has branched out to a full-service online practice that incorporates acceptance and commitment therapy. We’re discussing his journey and how he transitioned into private practice from community mental health. David shares what it was like for him to take an uncertain leap from something familiar and comfortable, and how he incorporates ACT into his conversations with clients in big and small ways. David also tells about starting his online counseling practice and how that aligns perfectly with his values. You can read the full show notes at: Session193

#68: Orwell VS Huxley/Humanity Values Is homeschooling a detriment to a child’s social development? This week we will tackle if homeschooling is harming children or if it has become a tangible option given the recent nomination of Betsy Devos. Then we will interview David Teachout, founder of Life Weavings and Humanity Values Podcast, as we talk about how his experience and degree’s make for an educational show. We will then end on a discussion about Neil Postman’s book “Amusing Ourselves To Death” and we look at whether or not the future is closer to an Orwellian or Huxley perspective. #Psychology #JustinTrudeau #HumanityValues #1984 #HomeSchool #NeilPostman #LifeWeavings Subscribe: http://www.spreaker.com/user/cellardoorskeptics Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CellarDoorSkeptics RSS Feed: https://www.spreaker.com/user/8326690/episodes/feed iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cellar-door-skeptics/id1044088575?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 Website: http://cellardoorskeptics.com Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cellar-door-skeptics Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cellardoorskeptics Intro Music: http://aloststateofmind.com/ Links ------ https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/02/13/joint-statement-president-donald-j-trump-and-prime-minister-justin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd6Q5gvwStU https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/13/world/canada/justin-trudeau-donald-trump.html ------ https://www.michigan.gov/documents/home_schools_122555_7.pdf https://www.hslda.org/laws/ http://www.brighthubeducation.com/homeschool-rules-regulations/103879-state-and-federal-homeschooling-requirements/ http://www.pbs.org/parents/education/homeschooling/socialization-tackling-homeschoolings-s-word/ http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0161956X.2013.796825?scroll=top&needAccess=true http://www.othereducation.org/index.php/OE/article/view/10/55 http://www.nheri.org/research/nheri-news/a-thorny-survey-of-homeschool-graduates.html http://www.nheri.org/research/research-facts-on-homeschooling.html ------ http://www.lifeweavings.org/humanitys-values-podcast/ https://www.facebook.com/lifeweavingsllc https://www.lifeweavings.org/ ------ https://www.amazon.com/Amusing-Ourselves-Death-Discourse-Business/dp/014303653X https://www.amazon.com/George-Orwell/e/B000AQ0KKY/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1487029515&sr=1-1 https://www.amazon.com/Aldous-Huxley/e/B000APWRRY/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1487029555&sr=1-1 https://biblioklept.org/2013/06/08/huxley-vs-orwell-the-webcomic-2/ http://www.lettersofnote.com/2012/03/1984-v-brave-new-world.html
