    When was a time in your life when you felt so anxious or afraid that you almost couldn't function? What did you do to overcome that feeling? Blair Linne battled anxiety after hitting a deer and totaling her car. The accident left her with a growing fear that wouldn't dissipate. As she worked through it, she realized that she'd been struggling with anxiety in different ways for most of her life. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn about Blair's journey with anxiety and her advice for someone else who is struggling. You don't want to miss this encouraging and insightful God Hears Her conversation.   Guest Bio: Blair Linne is the author of Finding My Father. She is a Bible teacher, actress, spoken word artist, and the creator of the podcast GLO with The Gospel Coalition. Blair has toured globally and is known as one of the originators of the Christian Spoken Word genre. Proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ through speaking and spoken word is her passion. She and her husband, Shai, live in Dallas, Texas, with their three children.  Notes and Quotes:  “I think there are multiple ways to run from God. Some people choose immorality where they run headfirst into sin and some of us choose morality where they just want to be ‘good.'” —Blair Linne  “I experienced so much shame and even condemnation because I thought that Christians shouldn't deal with anxiety and if they did, it was an issue with their faith.” —Blair Linne  “What we often do is pit religious fear against sinful fear.” —Blair Linne  “Not everyone has the same story or the same body or the same mind. We are in a fallen world with fallen bodies, and God in His mercy gives us spiritual helps and He also gives us natural helps.” —Blair Linne  “We're not just a soul, we also have a body. We're here as a complete person made in the image of God. If a person needs medication to help them, praise God that it exists! And now they can have a complete thought to trust God.” —Blair Linne  “We are not in control and often anxiety or a panic attack can expose that truth to us. It exposes the truth that we are but human and also that we have a God who says, ‘Do not fear, do not be worried, for I am with you.'” —Blair Linne  “Any concern, care, or worry that we have, any physical affliction or ailment that we have is an opportunity for us to see our dependence on God.” —Blair Linne  “You are worthy of being seen by Jesus in your weakness.” —Blair Linne  Verses:  2 Corinthians 12:9-10  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 14 - Finding Peace: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/finding-peace/ GHH Ep 57 – Living with Depression with Sarah Robinson: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/living-with-depression/ GHH Ep 70 – Awkward Joy with Mary Jo Clark: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/awkward-joy/ Links:  God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/sign-up-ghh Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM Connect with Blair: https://www.instagram.com/blairlinne_/ Made to Tremble Book: https://www.amazon.com/Made-Tremble-Anxiety-Became-Happened/dp/1430096365 Yara the Brave and the Swirling Worry Children's Book:  https://a.co/d/0d38aqlJ

    Episode 518: Why So Much Therapy Doesn't Work (And What Actually Does) Hosts: Kevin Cornelius, LMFT Dr. David Burns Guest: Jeremy Karmel What happens when therapy doesn't work? In this provocative episode of The Feeling Good Podcast, David Burns and Jeremy Karmel join Kevin Cornelius to examine some uncomfortable questions about the mental health field: Why do some people remain in therapy for years without getting better? Why do so few therapists measure their patients' progress? What happens when therapists become overly attached to one particular school of therapy? And how can we make psychotherapy more effective, accountable, and evidence-based? Jeremy brings a particularly personal perspective to the conversation. After experiencing severe depression in college and trying numerous forms of therapy without success, he worked with Matt May using TEAM-CBT and experienced a dramatic recovery in roughly two weeks. That experience ultimately led him to become deeply involved in TEAM-CBT and in the development of the Feeling Great app. David and Jeremy describe a list of more than 30 concerns about the way mental health care is commonly practiced today. They emphasize that the goal isn't simply to criticize therapists, but to encourage a radical improvement in the effectiveness of psychotherapy. In This Episode 1. Can financial incentives create a conflict of interest? David and Jeremy explore a difficult question: If therapists are paid by the session, is there an inherent incentive to keep therapy going longer than necessary? They contrast long-term therapy without measurable improvement with a model in which the therapist's goal is to help the client recover as quickly and completely as possible. David argues that therapists should be able to define what successful treatment looks like and determine whether their interventions are actually producing meaningful change. Kevin offers another perspective from his experience at Feeling Good Institute, where brief TEAM-CBT therapy can lead to rapid improvement while also generating referrals because clients recognize that the treatment is effective. 2. Are schools of therapy becoming like "cults"? David and Jeremy question the tendency within psychotherapy to become attached to particular theorists, schools, and treatment models. Instead of assuming that one approach explains every psychological problem, they argue for flexibility. Depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and other difficulties may have very different causes and may require very different interventions. David describes TEAM-CBT as a framework for effective psychotherapy rather than allegiance to one particular technique. He has developed more than 140 techniques and emphasizes selecting methods according to the individual's specific problem. Jeremy points out that therapists and patients can be tempted to treat the ideas of famous figures such as Freud or Carl Rogers as unquestionable truths rather than hypotheses that should be tested against evidence. 3. The refusal to measure Perhaps the strongest theme of the episode is the importance of measurement. David argues that therapists need to know whether their patients are actually improving—not simply assume that they are. His approach involves measuring symptoms at the beginning and end of sessions and tracking changes over time. If a person begins a session feeling 90% depressed and ends at 80%, that's useful information. If the numbers don't improve from week to week, the therapist has evidence that something needs to change. On the other hand, dramatic changes can provide tangible evidence that treatment is working. Jeremy shares the story of a friend who had apparently been depressed for 18 months or more while receiving therapy, yet neither the therapist nor the patient had been systematically measuring whether the depression was improving. 4. Therapists aren't always accurate judges of how their patients feel One of the most surprising parts of the discussion is David's argument that therapists' clinical intuition can be remarkably inaccurate. He describes research in which highly trained clinicians interviewed patients extensively and then estimated how depressed, anxious, angry, or suicidal the patients were. Their estimates were extremely inaccurate compared with the patients' own ratings. The lesson is humbling: We cannot reliably assume that we know how another person feels simply because we've spent a lot of time talking with them. Measurement provides information that intuition cannot. 5. Measurement can transform the therapist, too David explains that measurement isn't simply a way of judging the patient—or judging the therapist. It can become one of the most powerful tools for improving clinical skill. If a therapist believes a session went wonderfully but the patient's ratings show otherwise, the therapist has an opportunity to learn. Likewise, if a particular intervention consistently produces dramatic improvements, measurement can reveal what works and help the therapist do more of it. Kevin shares his own experience of how using testing transformed his work with clients and helped him learn how to become a more effective therapist. 6. What can therapists and patients do differently? The episode ultimately isn't about giving up on therapy. It's about demanding better therapy. David argues that the problems discussed—including conflicts of interest, allegiance to particular schools of therapy, and the failure to measure outcomes—are solvable. Therapists can begin using data to evaluate their effectiveness and become more willing to change their methods when patients aren't improving. Kevin also encourages people seeking therapy to ask prospective therapists whether they use measurement and whether they track progress from session to session. Key Takeaways Therapy should be evaluated by its results. Good intentions, empathy, and a strong therapeutic relationship are important, but they aren't substitutes for meaningful improvement. Therapists need to measure. Without measurement, it can be difficult to know whether a client is improving, staying the same, or getting worse. Don't assume one therapy fits every problem. Different emotional and relationship problems may require different techniques. Question therapeutic dogma. Famous therapists and established schools of therapy can offer valuable ideas, but their claims should be evaluated rather than accepted simply because they come from an authority. Clinical intuition has limits. Even experienced therapists may be surprisingly inaccurate when judging how patients are actually feeling. Measurement is a learning tool. Tracking outcomes doesn't just hold therapists accountable—it helps them discover what works and improve their skills. Patients can become informed consumers of therapy. Asking a prospective therapist how they measure progress can provide valuable information about their approach. Therapy can be brief and effective. The goal shouldn't necessarily be years of treatment; the goal should be meaningful improvement and relapse prevention. The field can change. David, Jeremy, and Kevin emphasize that the problems they identify aren't inevitable. Therapists can adopt more flexible, measurable, evidence-based approaches. A Question for Listeners How do you know if your therapy is working? If you're a therapist, do you routinely measure your clients' symptoms and satisfaction? If you're a therapy client, has anyone ever shown you objective evidence that you're getting better? And perhaps most importantly: Would you have the courage to discover that your current approach isn't working—and then change it? About Jeremy Karmel Jeremy Karmel works with David Burns on the Feeling Great app and became passionate about TEAM-CBT after experiencing a dramatic recovery from severe depression during college. After trying numerous forms of therapy without success, he worked with Matt May and experienced a complete clearing of his depression in approximately two weeks. Coming Up This conversation is the beginning of a larger discussion about the problems—and possibilities—of modern psychotherapy.

    Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. What lurks in the shadows of Ohio's backroads, forgotten cemeteries, and hidden corners of history? Join us as we uncover the Buckeye State's most chilling legends, mysterious sightings, and enduring folklore. Ohio Mysteries Backroads: The Garrettsville Train Robbery — Alvin Karpis Comes to Ohio In the quiet countryside of Portage County, Ohio, the village of Garrettsville seems like an unlikely setting for one of America's most notorious criminals. But during the violent era of the Great Depression, the backroads of Ohio became part of the story of Alvin “Creepy” Karpis, one of the FBI's most wanted gangsters and a key figure in the infamous Barker-Karpis gang. In this episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads, we travel back to the days when armored trains, bank robbers, gangsters, and federal agents were locked in a nationwide battle. Our story takes us to Garrettsville, Ohio, where a train robbery brought the national crime wave of the 1930s frighteningly close to home. We explore what happened, how Karpis and his associates operated, and why Ohio's rail lines and isolated rural communities could become attractive targets for Depression-era criminals. We'll look at the world that produced Karpis—the desperate economic conditions, the rise of organized crime, the getaway routes, and the growing presence of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. We'll also separate the documented history from the legends that have grown around the robbery over the decades. Who was Alvin Karpis?Why did his gang come to Ohio?What happened along the railroad near Garrettsville?And how did law enforcement eventually close the net around one of America's most elusive gangsters? Join Ohio Mysteries Backroads as we leave the highways and take a trip down the old railroad tracks into the dangerous world of 1930s Ohio, where a seemingly peaceful town found itself caught in the crosshairs of America's gangster era. This is the Garrettsville train robbery—and the Ohio connection to Alvin Karpis. Blending local history, eyewitness accounts, folklore, and a healthy dose of skepticism, this podcast explores the legends that refuse to die. Whether you're a paranormal enthusiast, a history buff, or simply fascinated by the unexplained, you'll discover that Ohio's darkest stories are often its most unforgettable.

    Ketamine made headlines for the wrong reasons, and people who could be helped by it are staying away. Jim Ellwood is an anesthesiologist who has given ketamine in the operating room and taken it himself for depression that nine medications failed to touch. This episode is based on his article "The truth about ketamine: an anesthesiologist explains drug safety," published on KevinMD. He explains what the research shows about how it works in the brain, and what to ask before you walk into a clinic. You will hear why he compares the panic around ketamine to what happened with propofol and fentanyl, how to find out who is actually writing the prescription at a clinic that advertises to you, and what he tells patients about how long the relief lasts and what it costs. He is candid about the stigma of a physician saying out loud that he has depression. Press play to hear a physician who has used ketamine both ways describe what a safe setting actually looks like.

    Jenita Pace was in such a deep depression that she attempted suicide and ended up hospitalized for ten days. God's miracle was that her husband forgot his pager and went home to retrieve it, only to stop Jenita from taking her life moments before! Today, she's a therapist and a professor, but the road to healing was not easy. Jenita talks about the long, slippery slope that can lead to suicide and the lies that we tell ourselves to justify suicide as the only option - when that couldn't be further from the truth. Time and healing have highlighted the truth in Jenita's life: Christians carry the Holy Spirit within them. Every human life is precious and has meaning. God can and will use anyone willing. Salvation is not earned; it's a gift. God loves us just as we are, and in Him, we have infinite value and worth. TAKEAWAYS Jenita wrote a devotional, The Healing Name of Jesus: Find Freedom from Depression and Anxiety Often, the church misunderstands mental health and, as a result, fails to address it The lies Satan tells us are that “we aren't worth it,” and that God “can't use us,” but our pain is our testimony, and our story can save others Contact the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline via call, text, or chat if you need help at 988lifeline.org

    When you look back at the Australian artists who've made their mark internationally, Savage Garden are right up there. Two guys from Brisbane who went Number 1 around the world, cracked the notoriously tough U.S. market and sold nearly 30 million albums with hits like 'I Want You', 'To The Moon And Back', and 'Truly Madly Deeply'. They may have only been together for two albums, but the legacy of their pop breakthrough continues, as does frontman Darren Hayes' incredible story.While he was sailing the highs of global fame, behind the scenes, Darren was dealing with a fractured band relationship, battling depression, and in the closet, unable to be truly himself. As a now proudly out gay man, he continues to sing his stories as a solo artist, but the road hasn't always been smooth sailing. Growing up in Logan, Queensland, the youngest of three in a home shadowed by severe domestic violence, who could have predicted that this sensitive kid who loved to sing would one day stand on the world's biggest stages?Darren's story is extraordinary: 250 rejection letters before anyone would sign Savage Garden, a manager who mortgaged his home to make it happen, and a partnership with Daniel Jones that produced some of the most iconic pop of the '90s before it all came crashing down. There have been plenty of lows too; being told by his own record company to hide who he was, the sudden loss of his mother, and a terrifying accident that shattered his jaw and nearly ended his singing career for good. But Darren Hayes is back, and he's got stories.This episode was captured at Chaplin Studios in Los Angeles, which was the building originally built by Charlie Chaplin, later home to A&M Records, and the exact room where "We Are the World" was recorded (Quincy Jones directing Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, Cyndi Lauper, and a room full of legends). It's a space steeped in music history, and if you believe the people who work there, a few ghosts as well. It was the perfect place to sit down with Darren and travel through a life defined by music, survival, and healing.Darren Hayes' song choices: The Dream Academy - 'Life in a Northern Town'Haim - 'Hallelujah'Young The Giant - 'The Walk Home'Coldplay - 'O'Maisie Peters – 'Two Weeks Ago'00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene at Chaplin Studios02:31 The History of Chaplin Studios: From Charlie Chaplin to A&M Records04:00 Karen Carpenter's Ghost and the Sacred Walls05:13 The Theme: Songs of Healing and Music Saving a Life05:41 Growing Up with Domestic Violence in Logan, Queensland06:05 Music as Escape: AM Radio, The Carpenters, and Auntie Jenny's Records06:56 Learning to Sing from Diana Ross and His Mother's Voice08:01 The Dream Academy - 'Life in a Northern Town'08:50 Catharsis Through Melancholy and the Sentimentality of Childhood10:52 Transitions: Missing His Siblings and "The Morning Lasted All Day"12:12 The End of High School and Not Wanting to Grow Up14:23 Growing Up in Logan: Feeling Like a Prince Despite Poverty15:12 A Hyper-Masculine World and Making Star Wars Toys Kiss15:44 Deciding He Was Famous at Age Ten: Protective Armor Against Bullying16:38 Being Called the F Word by His Father Before He Knew What It Meant18:05 Either Be Famous and Magical, or Die18:27 His Job Was to Keep His Mother Alive19:21 Hockey Sticks and Midnight Escapes: Surviving His Father's Violence20:15 Haim - 'Hallelujah'21:02 The Sound of Grace: Guardian Angels and Being Protected21:58 Being Uninvited from a Party and His Mother's Comfort23:30 "You've Got a Hallelujah": Surviving Childhood24:46 When Did Music Become the Path?

    The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has a formal diagnosis for caffeine withdrawal.It does not have one for postpartum psychosis.That's where this episode starts, and it turns out to explain almost everything about the six weeks that followed. As I record this, the jury in Plymouth has told the judge for the second time in two days that it cannot agree on whether Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible. Five weeks of trial. More than eighty witnesses. The judge has now read them the Tuey-Rodriguez charge, the last instruction he has, and under Massachusetts law he can't read it again without their consent. Twelve people who saw every exhibit can't get there. The internet got there in nine minutes. This episode is not about whether she's guilty. It's about the machine that spent August turning three dead children into content, and it hits everybody.The women who made this their entire personality: the pink shirts, the "Same, Lindsay" trend, a hundred and sixty-four thousand TikToks, twenty-five Etsy designs, a crowd cheering a defense attorney like he'd walked out of Selma, and a fifty-six-year-old woman arrested in a courthouse parking lot. And the men who decided the correct response to a psychiatric emergency was a constitutional amendment. A retired UFC champion who was calling to repeal the 19th two years before he'd ever heard her name. A podcaster on episode 1,825. A commentator who looked at a stranger holding her own baby and asked where CPS was. Also in here: Why parasocial defendant worship is a format and not a female pathology, and what ten thousand people mailing $290,000 to Luigi Mangione proves about that. The Andrea Yates conviction that got overturned because an expert witness testified about a Law & Order episode that had never been filmed. All 269 episodes were searched. It did not exist. Twenty-five years later, a major podcaster covering this case said out loud that he didn't need his story verified.The nine murder-suicides a week that nobody is holding a rally about, and why there is no federal database counting them. Three fathers who raised the exact defense Clancy is raising. Nobody proposed taking anyone's vote away. And the number that ends the argument: the UK has around 21 psychiatric units where a woman in this emergency is admitted with her baby. France has 15. The United States has four million births a year and zero. Six weeks of the loudest people in America screaming about dead children, and not one of them proposed a bed or a solution. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

Jen shares her experience of being prescribed Prozac at age 13 and spending decades living under diagnoses that shaped how she saw herself. Dr. McFillin explains why he has become an outspoken critic of his own profession and questions how conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD are diagnosed. They discuss the DSM, informed consent, psychiatric medications, emotional suppression, personal agency, and the powerful effect a diagnosis can have on identity. This conversation asks an important question: Are we helping people understand why they are struggling, or simply giving their struggles a name?Additional Information:Dr. Roger McFillin - Website + Podcast Dr. Roger McFillin Instagram Dr: Roger McFillin on X Dr. Roger McFillin Substack Center for Integrated Behavioral Health Jen's Story Episodes:264: Emotional Vitality423: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 2 - Rebalancing Mind and Body Through Supplementation438: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 3 - Weaning Off of Pharma457: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 4 - How Changing Your Mindset Can Change Your Life 505: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 5 - The Impact of Diet on Mental Health and Physical PainVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

    Jace and Rocky break down all 13 DC releases for the week of September 2, 2026. Batgirl #23 finds Cassandra Cain racing through a Gotham overrun by the Parliament of Trees while badly injured herself, determined to get a poisoned girl to the antidote that can save her life. Rather than advancing the larger Bad Seeds plot, the tie-in keeps the focus on Cassandra and her supporting cast, making the event feel more like the backdrop for a Batgirl story than an interruption of one. Batman #13 has Batman fighting his way through the GCPD to confront Vandal Savage, but the detour into Bad Seeds largely puts Matt Fraction's ongoing Batman story on hold. There are entertaining moments of Batman tearing through corrupt officers and demanding they do better for Gotham, but very little actually happens and the momentum from the previous issue's mystery is left waiting for the crossover to get out of the way. JSA #23 jumps into the largely unexplored years after the Justice Society was forced out of public life, with Wildcat, Hourman and Doctor Mid-Nite recruited for a secret Cold War mission behind enemy lines. The period setting and espionage premise immediately feel like a natural fit for the JSA, delivering one of the strongest issues of the run just as the series is approaching its end. 100 Bullets: The U.S. of Anger #3 remains frustratingly difficult to decipher three issues in, even for Rocky as a reader of the original 100 Bullets. The anger and division suggested by the title are certainly present, and the two hate-spewing podcasters provide one of the issue's more recognizable ideas, but neither Jace nor Rocky can determine what Brian Azzarello ultimately wants the story to say. Absolute Green Lantern #18 sees Simon Baz and Agent Zero finally escape the strange space where they have both been trapped and emerge in front of Cameron Chase, who appears to know exactly what has been happening. After eighteen issues of deliberately opaque mythology surrounding the Absolute Spectrum, Manhunters and its different colors and concepts, Chase's promise that "now we get the answers" offers the clearest indication yet that the series may finally start bringing its mysteries together. Absolute Superman #23 brings Superman's relentless pursuit of Brainiac into conflict with Toyman and forces his absolute belief in the sanctity of life into one of its most difficult tests yet. Jason Aaron continues pushing a young Superman who believes he must save absolutely everyone, suggesting that his refusal to accept his own limitations may eventually become as dangerous to him as any villain he faces. Batman/Superman: World's Finest — World's Weirdest #1 pulls Batman and Superman into the wonderfully bizarre world of Weird Al Yankovic in a whimsical story built around a surprisingly sincere message: be yourself, be true to yourself and embrace whatever makes you weird. It's far more fantastical than the type of story Jace usually gravitates toward, but the humor, artwork and genuine Weird Al sensibility make the concept work. Legion of Super-Heroes #1 begins with R.J. Brande's dream of bringing young heroes from across the galaxy together surviving his apparent murder as Brainiac 5 and Matter-Eater Lad investigate what happened to him. Joshua Williamson and Hayden Sherman reinvent the Legion from the ground up while retaining recognizable pieces of its history, including Lightning Lad's love of ancient Superboy comics, and use the mystery surrounding Brande to begin bringing this new generation together. Supergirl: Survived #4 has Kara and a young Kal-El spending much of the issue discovering what their Kryptonian powers can do beneath a yellow sun before encountering Brainiac 5, who may provide the means to finally continue their journey toward Earth. The story is heavily decompressed, but the relationship between Kara and Kal remains its strength while the increasingly unexpected assortment of DC concepts continues giving the series its own identity. Teen Titans #1 finds Jason Todd's search for a child missing for nine days colliding with a group of young heroes conducting their own investigation into their missing friend. Proximity, Fair Play, Cheshire Cat, Wild Card and Eugene Choi aren't actually a superhero team yet—the name Teen Titans began as little more than their online group chat—but their unlikely connection with Jason creates a distinctly modern starting point for Kyle Higgins' new take on the concept. Deadman #4 sends Boston Brand toward Heaven demanding answers about why the souls he has been helping aren't necessarily destined to stay there, only to receive an unexpected lesson about the value of giving someone even a brief moment of hope. The idea gives Deadman a renewed sense of purpose, but neither Jace nor Rocky feels the philosophical detour has enough to say to justify how far the series has moved from the character they know. Doom Patrol #1 introduces a broke Doom Patrol wandering from place to place taking whatever work they can get, including a seemingly mundane job searching for a missing cat. The bizarre visuals certainly fit the team's reputation for weirdness, but the story offers little sense of direction or connection to the previous Doom Patrol run, leaving both Jace and Rocky disappointed by an opening issue that feels far less interesting than its characters should be. Finally, Superman: The Stranger #1 drops Superman into a Black Label world reminiscent of Depression-era America, delivering a visually striking reinterpretation whose gritty setting immediately distinguishes it from the main DC Universe. The artwork is the issue's greatest strength, while the story itself feels familiar enough that Jace is waiting to see whether Wes Craig can push the concept somewhere more original as the series develops. Jace and Rocky also cover this week's collected editions before ranking all 13 books and revealing their Books of the Week.

    Michael Wood shares his journey from decades of anxiety and depression to developing a program to help others quiet their minds. Mike details his personal story of living with undiagnosed dyslexia until the breaking point at age 45 led to a seven-year inward journey creating his current work - Luv Being U. The discussion includes the power thoughts have to produce chemicals like cortisol and oxytocin, the role of learned behaviors and identities, and the importance of forgiveness, especially of oneself. Mike explains his process for rewriting negative core beliefs and the impact of gratitude, authenticity, and positive energy on mental health. Key Takeaways: changing thoughts can alter brain chemistry and lead to different emotional states negative core beliefs from childhood create subconscious protection mechanisms that manifest as negative self-talk the importance of reframing past experiences, forgiveness, and gratitude speaking affirmations out loud can have a powerful effect on the subconscious mind negative thinking reduces cognitive function by 20-60% due to increased cortisol levels living authentically through gratitude leads to personal strength and positive interactions with others the internal conflict between the protective subconscious mind and the expansive authentic self Mike Wood is an entrepreneur, author, coach and educator who spent decades building businesses and leading teams before discovering that no amount of external success could quiet the internal struggle. After doing the deep work of healing himself, he formalised what he learned into the LUV BEING U program, a ten-week guided journey now used by individuals, groups and people in correctional facilities who are ready to rebuild their lives from the inside out.

    In this episode of Marrow Masters, we talk with Lori Eberly, a licensed social worker at OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, about the emotional and social realities of living with chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease. Finishing cancer treatment does not always bring the relief survivors expect. Many people feel grateful that the cancer is gone while also fearing relapse and managing continuing symptoms, pain, appointments, and medication. It can feel as though one diagnosis has been exchanged for another. We address the psychological distress that can accompany chronic GVHD. Depression, anxiety, loneliness, and social withdrawal can be overlooked when appointments focus mainly on physical symptoms. Survivors should treat changes in mood and relationships as legitimate medical concerns. Providers can help by asking simple questions about coping and connecting patients with social workers, counselors, psychiatrists, and other members of the care team. Chronic GVHD can also affect identity. Survivors may question who they are after transplant and what parts of their former lives remain. Journaling, counseling, and honest conversations can help us identify what has not changed at our core. We also need space to acknowledge losses that others may not recognize. A friend or caregiver does not always need to solve the problem. Listening without interrupting or immediately offering advice can help a survivor feel heard and less alone. Financial pressure is another important concern. Reduced work hours, disability, retirement, frequent appointments, transportation expenses, and medical costs can create significant stress. Oncology social workers may be able to identify grants or other forms of assistance. Relationships can change as well. A spouse, parent, sibling, or friend may move into a caregiver role, creating a different balance of responsibilities. Honest communication can help patients and caregivers find new ways to contribute and remain interdependent. We also talk about defining quality of life personally. Joy may come from family, pets, gardening, music, nature, spirituality, or quiet time alone. These connections can help regulate the nervous system and restore a sense of safety. Gratitude and mindfulness may be useful, but they should not become toxic positivity. Survivors need permission to admit when they feel exhausted, lonely, angry, or discouraged. Coping strategies should be personal and manageable. We can begin by writing down what helps on ordinary days and what helps on the hardest days. Instead of attempting several major changes at once, we can choose one small action and see how it works. A meaningful activity may also be adapted. Someone who no longer has the energy to bake or preserve food alone might do it with a partner and gain both practical help and connection. Caregivers need support and respite too. Ignoring their own needs can lead to exhaustion and resentment. Patients and caregivers can strengthen their relationships by naming what they miss, acknowledging shared losses, and finding modified ways to enjoy life together.

    TEACHBACK TUESDAY: AN INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR KATHY ASHLEY When Kathy Ashley heart about "AI," those letters brought two different words to her mind. Not "artificial intelligence," but Arrogance and Ignorance. This is the kind of AI that leads to an artificial inflation of self, and it's hazardous to our spiritual health. Arrogance is pride on steroids. When you mix arrogance with ignorance, this creates a puffed up conceit that is deceptive. We can become our own worst enemies when we're infected with the dynamic duo of arrogance and ignorance. The antidote to this infection is God's Word. He has the prescription for healing and recovery. "The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate."

    Welcome to the eighth and final episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Today, I sit down with Coach Rae to talk about something we don't see many functional health companies address: relationship with food. We dig into why diet culture and social media have made it so hard for women to feel at peace with food, from the Britney Spears waist era to today's constant stream of body trends. Coach Rae shares the signs she looks for when a client's relationship with food might need extra attention, from fear of carbs to being afraid to keep certain foods in the house. We talk about why functional health can't just be labs, meal plans, and supplements, and why the mindset work around food fear matters just as much as the physical protocols. Rae walks us through how she approaches clients with real GI symptoms who are afraid to eat, including how elimination diets can help separate true food sensitivities from fear driven reactions. She also opens up about her own twenty plus year journey with food and control, and why curiosity with yourself is often the starting point for change. We then talk through the personality patterns she sees most often, the anxious perfectionists who feel safest when they're in control of their food, and why that sense of control can actually make your nervous system more fragile over time. Rae reminds listeners that struggling with food isn't about a lack of discipline, and that healing is possible no matter how long you've felt stuck. This is a real, honest conversation about what it actually looks like to build freedom and peace with food.

When depression makes you feel isolated, worthless, or disconnected from the world around you, interacting with something living can create a sense of belonging that can be difficult to find anywhere else.I share nine practical ways to reconnect with the natural world, from simply opening a window or taking a walk to growing something, caring for an animal, creating nature-based art, and even sleeping outside. None of these works every time—but nature has helped pull me through more depressive episodes than I can count.You are not separate from nature. You are nature. Sometimes caring for the living world around you—and remembering that you're part of it—can help you begin caring about yourself again.If my podcast has helped, my new book, The Light Between the Leaves, goes even deeperNext Steps:

Her journey through depression, overthinking, mindfulness, meditation, and self-inquiry helped her recognise how thought patterns and conditioning can shape the way we experience reality. In this conversation, she explores why we so often fight against the present moment, believe the stories our minds tell us, and postpone happiness until some future event.Learn how to create distance from your thoughts instead of automatically believing or following them.Discover simple ways to practise acceptance in everyday situations and reduce unnecessary emotional struggle.Understand why happiness isn't something you need to achieve in the future, and how fully experiencing every moment, including difficult emotions, can change the way you live.Play the episode to discover how noticing your thought patterns, accepting the present moment, and letting go of the constant pursuit of future happiness can help you stop fighting with life and start living it more fully.˚KEY POINTS AND TIMESTAMPS:01:09 - Meet Sarah Collins: From Civil Engineer to Life Coach02:41 - Redefining Success and Letting Go of Society's Expectations05:48 - Living with Depression, Overthinking, and Low Self-Worth07:02 - You Are Not Your Thoughts10:29 - The Stories We Believe About Ourselves12:33 - Practicing Acceptance: Start with the Small Things15:34 - Rethinking Happiness as a Present-Moment Experience22:38 - Self-Inquiry, Spiritual Teachers, and Finding Your Own Answers29:21 - Closing Thoughts, Where to Find Sarah, and Final Takeaways˚MEMORABLE QUOTE:"The more you notice those thought patterns, the more you notice how it's creating your reality—you stop fighting with life and start living."˚VALUABLE RESOURCES:Sarah's website: https://www.livingfullywithsarah.com/˚Coaching with Agi: https://personaldevelopmentmasterypodcast.com/mentor

    I'm a therapist who 's had enough of therapy culture!One of my biggest pet peeves with it is the way we've turned mental health diagnoses into explanations for human beings. Depression. Anxiety. ADHD. Bipolar disorder. Narcissism. We throw these labels around as though they explain *why* someone thinks, feels, and behaves the way they do. They don't. A diagnosis tells you the WHAT. It does not tell you the WHY.This week, I'm digging into what psychiatric diagnoses actually are, how they evolved, what we really know about “chemical imbalances," and what can happen when a diagnostic label becomes part of someone's identity. Your suffering is real. Your symptoms are real. But you are a human being first—and your humanity, your history, your relationships, your pain, and your adaptations deserve to be understood. The label should never take the place of the human being.Follow Vanessa: https://www.instagram.com/vanessathetherapist/Follow the show: https://www.instagram.com/theworkofbeinghuman/

    What happens when the relentless pursuit of success becomes the very thing that undermines our well-being? In this profound episode of Rx for Success, host Dr. Randy Cook sits down with Dr. Stuart Slavin—pediatrician, educator, researcher, and author of the new book The Success Trap: How the Pressure to Stand Out is Fueling Anxiety, Depression, and Burnout in Teens. Dr. Slavin shares his remarkable journey from a shy college student who wasn't sure medicine was for him to a transformative leader in medical education and physician well-being. He recounts the pivotal moment when he discovered that medical school itself was causing profound harm to students—and how he and his colleagues at St. Louis University transformed their curriculum, reducing depression and anxiety rates by 80% while actually improving academic performance. He also discusses his groundbreaking research on adolescent mental health, revealing that school-related pressures—not social media—are the top drivers of stress for today's youth. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the well-being of the next generation of physicians and the culture that shapes them. Key Topics Discussed: Growing up with a physician father and a consumer advocate mother who modeled making a difference. The surprising path to medicine: deciding to apply to medical school mid-fall of senior year. Choosing pediatrics because of "who are my people?" and finding joy in the community. Getting a master's in education—a rare and career-defining decision. The pivotal moment: surveying medical students and realizing "we're doing this to them." Transforming the St. Louis University medical school curriculum: reducing class time, pass-fail grading, and freeing up time for meaning. The stunning results: 80% reduction in depression and anxiety, improved academic performance, and halved failure rates. The "success trap": how relentless achievement pressure and extrinsic motivation are harming young people. Research in 18 high schools: top stressors are school-related, not social media. The importance of sleep: average high school students get only 6.5 hours (need 9-10). Dr. Slavin's new book: The Success Trap—a parenting guide and call to rethink education. The wisdom of Viktor Frankl: success cannot be pursued; it must ensue from dedication to a cause greater than oneself. Big M and little M meaning: finding purpose in everyday moments of connection.

    On Friday morning, twelve people in Plymouth, Massachusetts asked to see two things: a bag of prescription pill bottles and the knife Lindsay Clancy used on herself. That request is the entire factual content of the biggest news day in this trial since closing arguments, and within hours it had been publicly interpreted as a conviction, an acquittal, a hung jury, and a verdict coming Monday before lunch.This episode walks Friday minute by minute, then does the thing this show exists to do: separates what happened from what people needed it to mean.Also covered: the prosecution's rebuttal psychiatrist, Dr. Avram Mack, resigned from Nemours Children's Health on the same day he finished testifying, and Nemours will not say why. What that fact does and does not establish. The full evidentiary record the jury is working through, including why the central dispute is not whether Clancy was mentally ill. The five verdict options and what an insanity finding actually means in Massachusetts, which is not what the internet says it means. The sidewalk outside the courthouse, where pink t-shirts and handwritten signs reading "1st Degree MURDER" sat on benches thirty feet apart.And a Reality Check on why women are responding to this case the way they are, built on a fact most of the coverage has missed entirely: postpartum psychosis, the condition at the center of this five week trial, is not in the DSM.Recorded Sunday afternoon. The jury returns Monday at 9 a.m. Eastern. Nothing in this episode assumes a verdict.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

    What if sadness isn't something to fear, but a doorway to healing? Bryson and Randy continue their season on grief by digging into emotions — specifically, why sadness gets such a bad rap and what it actually does for us. They unpack Randy's concept of a "doorway emotion" (the one you default to — anger or sadness), why the emotion that isn't your doorway is usually the one you're most afraid of, and what happens when sadness gets buried instead of expressed. If you've been avoiding sadness because it feels weak, this episode might just change your mind — and if it does, send it to a friend who needs permission to feel it too.
