In this episode of The Activity Continues, host Amy and her co-hosts welcome Brittany Baxter Damron, a mental health therapist with insights into mediumship and paranormal phenomena.Brittany discusses her therapeutic approaches, such as EMDR and ego state parts work, and how they relate to understanding and processing trauma. She also connects these methods to episodes of 'The Dead Files,' exploring concepts like PK manifestations, possession, and the influence of energy on mental and spiritual health.The conversation touches on various aspects of psychology, spirituality, and shared personal experiences, aiming to provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the integration between these realms.This is surely one of our more scienc-y episodes but we still have a great time and a lot of laughs. AND we do connect this to The Dead Files!So, grab your crystals, and join us where… The Activity Continues.And remember, neurons that fire together, wire together! We didn't find anything we thought deserved a content warning, except that we use colorful language. The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends, Amy, Megan, and AP chat about ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other supernatural and paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files. Our recaps are full of recurring jokes about recurring tropes. We also occasionally do interviews with people from the metaphysical world, as well as Dead Files clients.Sometimes we get a little scientific. We enjoy trying to come up with possible explanations for some of the things that the clients experience. But this by no means indicates that we do not believe the clients or are invalidating their experiences. We do believe. This episode was recorded on February 24, 2025 and released on April 10, 2025. Chapter Markers00:00 Welcome to The Activity Continues00:42 Introducing Brittany Baxter Damron01:33 Understanding EMDR and Therapy Techniques10:02 The Connection Between Mental Health and Environment22:22 Energy and Emotions: A Deeper Dive34:09 Real-Life Examples and Personal Experiences42:23 Mental Health Misconceptions43:18 PTSD and Violent Outbursts45:26 Parts of Self: Burdened vs. Unburdened46:15 Defense Mechanisms and Dissociation47:34 Courtroom Realities and Mental Health[ad break]01:00:49 Understanding Schizophrenia and Psychic Abilities01:06:35 Intergenerational Trauma and Healing01:10:02 Dark Parts of Self and Abuse01:18:21 PK Manifestations and Poltergeists01:24:14 Conclusion and Contact InformationEpisode links:Higher Awareness Therapy: https://higherawarenesstherapy.com/Visit us at: https://www.theactivitycontinues.com/Leave us a voicemail at: https://www.theactivitycontinues.com/voicemail/Why Does he Do That by Lundy Bancroft - https://amzn.to/3XjcWnYAmazon links could generate a small commission to us at no cost to you.  Credits:Hosted by: Amy Lotsberg, Megan Simmons, and Amy PiersakProduction, Artwork, and Editing: Amy Lotsberg at Collected Sounds Media, LLC.Guest: Brittney Baxter DameronTheme song. “Ghost Story” and segment music by Cannelle https://melissaoliveri.com Affiliates/SponsorsPlease see our Store page for all the links for all our affiliates. https://www.theactivitycontinues.com/store/ Thank you for listening, take care of yourselves.

In this episode my co-host and I had planned to talk about how the new Trump administration could create unity in America. The episode title had been, “Starting with a Clean Slate: How the Trump administration could create unity in America.” By starting anew, without a political agenda, we intended to explore how a new sense of community and pride in America could evolve. However, after the group in charge eliminated Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs in a day, we felt we needed to talk about the new way a greater divide in America is evolving and how psychoanalytic defense mechanisms can inform us about new dilemmas we are facing as a nation. Denial, for example, appeared to be a part of what occurred. By refusing to acknowledge the existence or importance of systemic inequalities that DEI programs aimed to address, dismantling them is essentially denying reality. Since discrimination, inequity and racism are at an all-time high in our country, eliminating programs that were designed to improve them seems to overlook what is really occurring in America. We also believe similar defense mechanisms are at play. The administration's justification for ending DEI programs as “illegal” and “wasteful” can be seen as a form of rationalization. This defense mechanism involves creating logical-sounding reasons to justify actions that may be driven by underlying anxieties or biases. By framing DEI initiatives as discriminatory or ineffective, the administration rationalized their decision to eliminate them. By attacking and dismantling DEI programs, it appears as though they have externalized internal conflicts, making them easier to confront and control. The strong push against DEI initiatives could be interpreted as reaction formation, where the administration overcompensated for underlying anxieties about diversity and inclusion by taking an extreme opposite stance. Through the employment of these defense mechanisms, the Trump administration may be attempting to manage anxieties related to changing demographics, shifting power dynamics, and the challenges of addressing long-standing societal inequities. However, it's important to note that these actions have significant real-world consequences for federal employees and the broader goals of creating a more inclusive and equitable society.

Specializing in complex trauma, depression and anxiety, Jocelyn Pulver, licensed mental health counselor, sits down with Bryce Hamilton LCSW to talk about how defense mechanisms manifest in our lives and parenting. Jocelyn labels and defines the most common defense mechanisms, what they look like, and how we can be aware of them to help manage […] The post Identifying Defense Mechanisms with Jocelyn Pulver appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

In this episode, we dive into one of the key aspects of mental health nursing: recognizing and understanding defense mechanisms. These psychological strategies, often unconscious, help individuals cope with reality and its stresses.  As nurses, it's crucial to help patients gain self-awareness by identifying when these defense mechanisms are at play, which in turn can improve their understanding of their own behaviors. Recognizing when defense mechanisms are at play can prevent manipulation, foster greater insight, and lead to better outcomes for both nurse and patient. ___________________ Full Transcript - Read the article "Defense Mechanisms in Mental Health" and view references FREE CLASS - If all you've heard are nursing school horror stories, then you need this class!

This podcast describes a short history of a man who did something we've lost in America. That man was James Baldwin who insisted on telling the truth. He confronted the harsh realities of racism, believing that exposing its ugliness was necessary for progress. He rejected simplistic solutions, arguing that racism was deeply rooted in American consciousness and imagination, beyond just political and economic inequalities. Instead, Baldwin called for a fundamental transformation of American society and identity. He critiqued white America, urging white Americans to confront their own behavior and complicity in racist systems. Controversially, Baldwin advocated for Black Americans to approach white countrymen with love, while still insisting on unconditional freedom, seeing this as necessary for true transformation. He ultimately wanted to build a nation that moved beyond racial categorization, focusing instead on individual humanity. Baldwin viewed racism as stemming from a deeper spiritual problem in America, where individuals and the nation lacked a true sense of identity. While he did not offer simple solutions to racism, Baldwin's penetrating analysis and powerful writing exposed the complexities of racism in our country, challenged both white and Black Americans to confront difficult truths, and provided a framework for understanding racism beyond just political reforms. His work continues to influence discussions on race in America today, aiming not to ameliorate racism in a superficial sense, but to push for a profound reckoning with and transformation of American society and identity in relation to race. Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone is a powerful novel that explores the complexities of race, sexuality, and identity in America through the life of its protagonist, Leo Proud/hammer. As the story begins, Leo, a successful African-American actor, suffers from a heart attack. As he recovers he reflects on his life and relationships. It is also of interest to note how James Baldwin's novel relates to Dr. Matin Luther King Jr.'s non-fiction book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? Both books are discussed in terms of the major contributions they made to racism in America as well as how they illustrate psychoanalytic mechanism of defense. Learn more about your ad choices.

His work continues to influence discussions on race in America today, aiming not to ameliorate racism in a superficial sense, but to push for a profound reckoning with and transformation of American society and identity in relation to race. Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone is a powerful novel that explores the complexities of race, sexuality, and identity in America through the life of its protagonist, Leo Proud/hammer. As the story begins, Leo, a successful African-American actor, suffers from a heart attack. As he recovers he reflects on his life and relationships. It is also of interest to note how James Baldwin's novel relates to Dr. Matin Luther King Jr.'s non-fiction book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? Both books are discussed in terms of the major contributions they made to racism in America as well as how they illustrate psychoanalytic mechanism of defense. Learn more about your ad choices.

This podcast describes a short history of a man who did something we've lost in America. That man was James Baldwin who insisted on telling the truth. He confronted the harsh realities of racism, believing that exposing its ugliness was necessary for progress. He rejected simplistic solutions, arguing that racism was deeply rooted in American consciousness and imagination, beyond just political and economic inequalities. Instead, Baldwin called for a fundamental transformation of American society and identity. He critiqued white America, urging white Americans to confront their own behavior and complicity in racist systems. Controversially, Baldwin advocated for Black Americans to approach white countrymen with love, while still insisting on unconditional freedom, seeing this as necessary for true transformation. He ultimately wanted to build a nation that moved beyond racial categorization, focusing instead on individual humanity.

Hello, everyone. As promised, here is part 3 of the season 7 series on “The 6 Common Enemies of Your Recovery or Long-Term Life Skills Behavioural Change.” The first enemy is your mindset, which is based on absolutes about life—usually based on Shoulds and Should nots, musts, or must nots. The last episode looked specifically at the 3rd common enemy of recovery and longer-term behavioural change: "Defense Mechanisms”. Which is usually offshoots of and linked to life scripts as a result of or that promotes your core mindsets. Which often then shape your worldview and your automatic and subconscious core beliefs. This episode explores those limits or distortions that lead to maladaptive coping mechanisms and stress response styles used in response to life's stresses and stressors.

Recorded: 09/18/2024 CERIAS Security Seminar at Purdue University Exploiting Vulnerabilities in AI-Enabled UAV: Attacks and Defense Mechanisms Ashok Vardhan Raja, Purdue University Northwest In recent years, UAVs have seen significant growth in both military and civilian applications, thanks to their high mobility and advanced sensing capabilities. This expansion has been further accelerated by rapid advancements in AI algorithms and hardware. While AI integration enhances the intelligence and efficiency of UAVs, it also introduces new security and safety concerns due to potential vulnerabilities in the underlying AI models. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by malicious actors, leading to severe security risks and operational failures. This talk will focus on securing the integration of AI into UAVs to ensure their resilience in adversarial environments. We will begin by analyzing the data sensing and processing pipeline of key sensors used in AI-enabled UAV operations,identifying areas where vulnerabilities may exist. Following this, we will explore how to develop defense mechanisms to strengthen the robustness of these AI-driven UAV systems against potential threats. AI-enabled anomaly detection. AI-enabled anomaly detection and AI-enabled UAV infrastructure inspection will be leveraged as case studies in this talk. The talk will also cover the use of Large Language Models to improve this integration's security About the speaker: Ashok Vardhan Raja is an Assistant Professor of Cybersecurity in the department of Computer Information Technology and Graphics for the College of Technology at Purdue University Northwest. His research is on secure integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)such as UAVs for robust operations. He is expanding his current work by using Swarm of UAVs to address security issues and to other domains in the integration of AI and CPS.

Welcome to our ongoing series on defense mechanisms! Today, as we wrap up our exploration of these strategies, we'll be discussing sublimation, suppression, identification, and undoing. Remember these mechanisms can help people cope with anxiety and uncomfortable emotions temporarily, but if overused, they can hinder emotional growth and problem-solving. Join Famous and LaKisha as they dive into these final concepts. Thanks for sticking with us through this journey, and stay tuned for what's next!

Have you ever wondered why you react a certain way in stressful situations? Or why sometimes you seem to push uncomfortable thoughts out of your mind? These responses are often the result of defense mechanisms. Defense mechanisms are subconscious strategies that our mind uses to protect us from anxiety, uncomfortable thoughts, or feelings. They shape the way we interact with the world and can significantly influence our behavior and relationships. In this episode, we'll talk through some of the most common defense mechanisms, such as denial, repression, projection, and rationalization. We'll explore how these mechanisms manifest in our daily lives, their origins, and the role they play in our psychological well-being. Whether you're a psychology enthusiast, a student, or someone seeking to understand themselves better, this episode will provide valuable insights into the complex machinery of the human psyche.

This is episode 4 of a 4-part special series on mental health with Stanford and Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Paul Conti, M.D. Dr. Conti explains what true self-care is and how our mental health benefits from specific self-care and introspection practices — much in the same way that our physical health benefits from certain exercise and nutrition habits. He describes how the foundation of mental health is an understanding of one's own mind and the specific questions to ask in order to explore the conscious and unconscious parts of ourselves. He describes how this process can be done either on our own, through journaling, meditation and structured thought, or in therapy with the help of a licensed professional. He also explains how unprocessed trauma can short-circuit the process and how to prevent that, and the role of friendships and other relational support systems in the journey of self-exploration for mental health. People of all ages and those with and without self-introspection and therapy experience ought to benefit from the information in this episode.

This is episode 2 of a 4-part special series on mental health with Dr. Paul Conti, M.D., a Stanford and Harvard-trained psychiatrist currently running a clinical practice, the Pacific Premiere Group. Dr. Conti explains specific tools for how to overcome life's challenges using a framework of self-inquiry that explores all the key elements of self, including defense mechanisms, behaviors, self-awareness and attention. We also discuss our internal driving forces, how to align them and ultimately, how to cultivate a powerful “generative drive” of positive, aspirational pursuits.
