Podcasts about Depressive

Fortsetzung der autofiktionalen Familientrilogie von Monika Helfer. Im Mittelpunkt steht ihr Vater: «Wir sagten Vati. Er wollte es so. Er meinte, es klinge modern. Er wollte vor und durch uns einen Mann erfinden, der in die neue Zeit hineinpasste.» Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will: Samstag, 14.06.2025, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur Josef Helfer ist das uneheliche Kind einer Magd. Sein Vater ist der Bauer, bei dem die Mutter arbeitet. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wird er zum Kriegsdienst eingezogen und an die Front nach Russland geschickt. Dort verliert er ein Bein. Im Lazarett verliebt er sich in eine Krankenschwester: Monika Helfers Mutter Grete, die genau wie er seit der Geburt eine Aussenseiterin ist. In dem Bergdorf, in dem sie aufwuchs, galt sie als Kuckuckskind. Monika Helfers Vater war ein schweigsamer, in sich gekehrter Kriegsheimkehrer, der seine traumatischen Fronterlebnisse verdrängen musste, weil die Erinnerungen daran zu schmerzhaft waren. Monika Helfer weiss wenig über ihren Vater, der bereits in den 1980ern im Alter von 67 Jahren starb. Er hat sie jedoch geprägt mit seiner geradezu manischen Büchersucht und seinem kritischen Sprachbewusstsein. «Vati» ist der Versuch, seine Lebensgeschichte zu rekonstruieren. Anhand der Biografie des Vaters erzählt die Autorin auch von ihrer eigenen Kindheit, die von den Traumata der Eltern geprägt war. «Es sind zwei Depressive, die sich gefunden haben, um ihre Last gemeinsam besser ertragen zu können, und die doch heillos überfordert sind.» Ein Hörspiel über eine intensive und ambivalente Bindung – und deren Aufarbeitung. ____________________ Mit: Dörte Lyssewski (Monika), Karl Markovics (Vati), Damyan Andreev (Lorenz als Jugendlicher), Mara Romei (Monika als Kind), Robert Reinagl (Baumeister Brugger), Wolfram Berger (Pfarrer), Martina Spitzer (Frau Brugger), Burkhard Schindlegger (Vati als Kind), Christoph Reisinger (Sohn des Baumeisters), Julia Koch (Grete), Johanna Tomek (Tante Kathe alt), Katja Kolm (Tante Kathe jung), Rada Rae (Grete als Kind), Sonja Romei (Tante Irma), Klaus Höring (Vater Ferdinand), Lukas Walcher (Ferdinand), Dietmar König (Mann aus Stuttgart 1), Felix Rech (Mann aus Stuttgart 2), Margarete Tiesel (Lotte), Hannes Perkmann (Lorenz als Erwachsener) und Rainer Egger (Onkel Sepp) ____________________ Tontechnik: Martin Leitner, Jakob Kainz, Melanie Inden, Thomas Rombach – Naturaufnahmen: Martin Leitner – Originalmusik: Fatima Dunn – Hörspielbearbeitung und Regie: Elisabeth Weilenmann ____________________ Produktion: HR/ORF/SRF 2024 ____________________ Dauer: 54'

Dr. David Puder and psychologist Dr. Jonathan Shedler explore depressive personality style—how it differs from clinical depression and why it often goes unrecognized. Through a detailed role play, they demonstrate how self-criticism, unconscious guilt, emotional deprivation, and suppressed anger emerge in therapy. They discuss: How depressive personalities form in childhood The role of introjection, self-blame, and gentle idealization Why therapists may miss key dynamics if therapy feels “too good” How to help patients access their real needs and frustrations This episode is ideal for clinicians and anyone interested in deep psychodynamic work. Shedler draws from the work of Nancy McWilliams and Otto Kernberg while offering his own insights on personality, countertransference, and therapeutic technique.   Link to blog.

In this episode, we're joined by Mark Lawry, a former lawyer and long-time stay-at-home dad, who offers a frank and considered account of what it's like to live with depressive illness across much of adult life. Mark brings a calm, articulate perspective to a subject often misrepresented or oversimplified. He speaks plainly about how symptoms first appeared, why he delayed seeking help, and what it means to maintain a functioning exterior while privately struggling. We explore the difficulty of recognising depressive illness when it has no obvious trigger, the reality of managing something that may never fully go away. And the limits of language including the inadequacy of the term “depression” and why “depressive brain malfunction” may be a more accurate description. Mark also reflects on medication, therapy, and how leaving behind a professional identity in favour of something more sustainable helped reduce the frequency of episodes. This is not a dramatic story of crisis and recovery, but a steady, honest account of what it means to live with a chronic mental health condition and how important it is for men to talk about it. NOTE: If you think you may be suffering from depressive illness and/or relate to Mark's experience, the advice is to speak to your GP or other medical professional.

 This report will shock you… I have done my research. I looked videos for 3 hours (see links at the end) from the best sources, most the things are sciences proved. Except, I add the wisdom of the Chinese medical system to complete my research. A.) Finally, it is proved that our guts are the second brain in our body….B.) We gain leaky guts through Western Food or nonvegetarian unhealthy food. And through the leaky guts, we can get: 1.) Anxiety2.) Depression3.) Autism4.) Dementia5.) And our brain will be damaged over a long time…. Gut-brain connection part 2C.) Love heals our guts and reduces our stress.D.) Gluten-free diet.E.) No snacks!!!F.) Probiotic and Healthy Lactic acid (bacteria).G.) The legendary dangerous Candida fungus.H.) No alcohol.I.) How to produce the most healthy yogurt with the best bacteria?A.) Our gut work independent from our brain…Our gut is controlling our complete digestion, this means liver, stomach, gallbladder, and pancreas.In our gut, we have 100 of sensors, and they report to our brain…When we eat drugs, our gut tells that our brain… or get influenced … And even our fast food can cause depression.The toxic in our gut influences our thinking and feelings.Autism, anxiety, and depressive behaviors can come from unhealthy bacteria in our gut.Any drug/medicaments can have a negative influence on our feelings and thoughts through our gut-brain connection…Our fears can trigger our bowels to release our excrete…If we over-analyze, then we get constipation and can't excrete… Stress shut up our small intestines, and so our digestion will not work correctly. Proverb:Trust your gut feelings…If we get some sensations/ vibrations in our guts, we can check if this is related to things that we desire… Our guts are related to the subconsciousness and super-consciousness (intuition)…For Asian are the bowels a second brain.- We should think more with our gut instead to analyze with our mind.For the Tao or Qigong, the guts are the battery that we can charge with energy. And if we do so, we have much more power and focus on the things that we want. With our gut, we can heal our body;- if we apply for instance Qigong.B.) Leaky GutIn our colon, we have healthy and unhealthy bacteria and organism. Through unhealthy food and Stress, we kill the healthy bacteria and increase the harmful bacteria and organism in our gut.If we would eat a vegetarian diet based on :1.) Fruits and vegetable,2.) non-gluten, (I explain later)3.) no white sugar, 4.) and low fat. 5.)The best are: Broccoli sprouts kills these ((H-Pylori or Lipopolysaccharide, I explain later). Or mother breast milk.We could even heal leaky gut and kill the dangerous organism and bacteria in our gut with this healthy diet.When we eat unhealthy food like : 1.) Corn syrup.2.) White sugar.3.) Fructose syrup.4.) Peanut butter.5.) Meat, fish, poultry.6.) Industrially processed food.7.) Fast food.8.) An average Western food based on high fat, low fiber increase to 71% the chance of leaky gut.We will get leaky guts over the time through this food.Leaky guts are caused when the lining of the small intestine becomes damaged by unhealthy organism and bacteria. Through leaky gut undigested food particles, toxic waste products, unhealthy bacteria, and organism to "leak" through the intestines and flood the bloodstream.Over the blood, the unhealthy bacteria and organism reach our brain and damage or influence it. In our brain, we have a Blood Barrier that protects the brain from unhealthy bacteria and organism. If the harmful organism (H-Pylori or Lipopolysaccharide) from the Colon/stomach go in the blood and break the Blood Barrier of the brain (Protection of the brain against unhealthy bacteria), the harmful bacteria can enter the brain and damage it.25% of Americans are suffering from mental disorder/diseases like depression, anxiety Autisms…36% of autism have leaky guts, Through the leaky gut, we can get:1.) Anxiety.2.) Depressive symptoms.3.) Cognitive deficits.4.) And in the end, our brain gets damaged.It is easy to see that this fits many old people…MicrobiomeFor instance, a baby got antibiotic for an ear inflammation and afterward showing signs of autisms. Again they gave the baby antibiotics, and the autism disappeared… After the first treatment of antibiotic, unhealthy bacteria came in the Colon and changed the behavior of the baby… And today, it is proved if we inject in a rat specific harmful bacteria, the rat gets depression,…Our gut produces also the vitamin B12.Stress is the worst!Through stress, the small intestines are shutting down and can't function properly to absorb the nutrition and to produce vitamin B12. Even more under stress the unhealthy bacteria and organism increase. If we eat a wide variety of anything, our digest system gets confused, and so the small intestines can't work correctly….Eat simple dishes and don't look for a variety. The stomach also has very much influence on the healthy gut flora… The acid of the stomach should be PH2.If our stomach is over PH2 (less acid), it can't kill most of all unhealthy bacteria and organism… When you reduce with soda the acid of the stomach, the unhealthy bacteria and organism like H-Pylori can enter the small intestines and can go so in the blood. My Video: Gut-brain connection part 1 https://youtu.be/kzSqBzwIarMMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Gut-brain-connection-part-2.mp3

The whole land is covered with frogs Arcana Coelestia 7387. And covered the land of Egypt. That this signifies that the natural mind was made such, is evident from the signification of “covering,” which, being said of the natural mind, denotes that it was filled with falsities and reasonings therefrom, thus that it was made such. AC 7367. The love of self reigns with a man, that is, he is in the love of self, when in what he thinks and does, he does not regard his neighbor, thus not the public, still less the Lord, but only himself and those who belong to him; consequently when he does all things for the sake of himself and those who belong to him; and if for the sake of the public and his neighbor, it is merely for the sake of the appearance. Supplication AC 7391. And said, Supplicate ye unto Jehovah. That this signifies humiliation from weariness, is evident from the signification of “to supplicate unto Jehovah,” as being humiliation; for he who supplicates is in humiliation, and likewise he who requests another to supplicate for him. The reason why “to supplicate” denotes humiliation is that the angels do not attend to the supplication, but to the humiliation in which the man is when he is supplicating; for supplication without humiliation is only a vocal sound which does not come to the hearing and perception of the angels. The relocation of falsities AC 7398... after falsities are being removed, they are allotted their places elsewhere in the natural, and together with the falsities the endeavor and cupidity of reasoning; but not as before in the midst directly under the mind's view. Hence it is that, as related in what follows, the frogs were gathered together in heaps, and the land stank by reason of them, whereby is signified that these reasoning falsities were arranged in bundles in the natural, and there was what was foul and loathsome therefrom (see below, n. 7408, 7409).

The aim is to keep the focus on understanding the Text in terms of its application to the inner life along with reinforcing any key LP principles that have been highlighted in the exchanges.

Real-Time Assessment of Alcohol Reward, Stimulation, and Negative Affect in Individuals With and Without Alcohol Use Disorder and Depressive Disorders American Journal of Psychiatry A commonly held model of addiction posits that as addictions develop, there is progression from positive reinforcement to negative reinforcement to ameliorate withdrawal symptoms. In this study, researchers examined the subjective response to alcohol among persons with and without alcohol use disorder (AUD) and with or without comorbid depression. Regardless of the presence of comorbid depression, persons with AUD reported pleasurable effects, including stimulation and hedonic reward, after consumption of alcohol. In contrast, among those without AUD, the positive effects were less substantial. Participants did report reduction in negative affect, but the effects were relatively small. These findings suggest that positive reinforcement is sustained in the progression of AUD and the reward-sensitive stage may exist along with negative reinforcement.    Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

This past week, I had the pleasure of attending the Advanced Course for Walsh-Trained Practitioners. To date, 1,200 practitioners from 75 countries have been trained using the Walsh approach.For those unfamiliar, the Walsh Research Institute, founded by Dr. William Walsh, has looked at the nutrient levels of over 30,000 people with brain-related symptoms and found a surprisingly small number of nutrient imbalances (low zinc, high copper, high pyrroles, and methylation imbalances) that repeatedly show up. We address these imbalances in those with depression, anxiety, panic, obsessions, compulsions, inattention, brain fog, hyperactivity, autism, dementia, psychosis, and mood swings with significant and, at times, dramatic results. Bipolar disorder, however, because of its shifting in neurotransmitter states from mania and depression, can be particularly difficult to treat. More than nine million Americans have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This severe condition can lead to drug or alcohol use, financial or legal problems, discord in relationships, work and school instability, and/or suicide attempts or suicide. The course typically begins with an acute onset, followed by episodes of mania and depression, which often worsens in severity over time.In this post, after describing bipolar disorder, I will use Dr. Walsh's Comprehensive Theory of Bipolar Disorder, recently shared at the Society of Neuroscience, to explain:* the cause of bipolar disorder* the reason for the onset, persistence, and increasing severity for many over time* the reason for the increased risk of other health issues* the reason for the switch between manic and depressive states* how this information impacts treatment and preventionBipolar DisorderIt is important to note that the type of bipolar disorder I am referring to here is Bipolar I, a condition in which there are discrete episodes of mania often followed by episodes of depression. Such episodes can occur rarely or even multiple times a year.Manic episodes usually last a week up to several months and include three or more of the following:* increase in activity, energy, or agitation* distorted sense of well-being or self-confidence* needing much less sleep than usual* usually talkative or talking fast* racing thoughts or flight of ideas (jumping from one topic to another)* easily distracted* poor decision-making- e.g., excessive spending, risky sexual behavior* may become psychotic (have a break from reality)Hypomania has less severe symptoms which have less impact on functioning at work, school, social activities, and relationships. Having hypomanic episodes is not sufficient to warrant a diagnosis of Bipolar I.Depressive episodes, which often last a couple of weeks but can vary, include five or more of the below symptoms that are affecting functioning at work, school, social activities, and relationships:* depressed mood (sad, lacking feeling, hopeless, irritable, angry, or tearful)* marked loss of interest or enjoyment of activities* weight loss or weight gain (without dieting or overeating)* too much or too little sleep* behavior slowed down or restless* fatigue - loss of energy* feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt* problems concentrating or making decisions* suicidal thoughts, plans, or attemptsBipolar II Disorder is a different condition. This diagnosis is given when someone has at least one major depressive episode and at least one hypomanic episode. Depressive episodes are often longer here. There is never a manic episode. Despite its name, this is not a milder form of Bipolar I. Biochemically, it is considered a different disorder.Rapid cycling is used to describe bipolar disorder when, in the past year, there have been at least four episodes of switching from mania or hypomania to depression. This can describe either type I or type II (depending on the presence or absence of mania). As with many other diagnoses, the terms came from seemingly related symptoms instead of a root cause or biochemical understanding.Dr. Walsh's comprehensive theory, which I'll describe, focuses on Bipolar I, in which there are manic episodes usually followed by depressive episodes. For those who struggle with mood swings changing within a day or a week as opposed to discrete mood episodes of mania or depression, pyrrole disorder should be considered.Genetics or Epigenetics?Having a first-degree relative (parent or sibling) with bipolar disorder raises the risk of developing bipolar disorder. After thirty years of genetic research, however, a gene for bipolar disorder has not been identified. The genetics are more complicated. It appears there are many genes involved.2021 Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS)These studies compared the genomes of about 5,000 individuals with bipolar disorder and about 8,000 (controls/individuals without bipolar disorder). Over time, more and more “bipolar” genetic variants have been identified. By 2021, there were 64; however, there are expected to be hundreds. Of these 64 genetic variants, 49 are DNA repair genes and antioxidant genes that occur throughout the body (not just the brain). Just as it sounds, DNA repair genes make enzymes that repair DNA. Antioxidant genes make enzymes that support our protective antioxidant systems. Many of these genetic variants are also associated with cancer and other conditions impacted by DNA damage. This would suggest that those with bipolar disorder come into the world with a vulnerability in their ability to repair DNA damage (which translates to cell damage, tissue damage, and, in the case of the brain, neuronal damage. An event, however, is required to shift this vulnerability to illness.Accelerated DNA DamageWhat damages DNA? Free radicals and thus oxidative stress. To remind you, oxidative stress occurs when our body's inherent antioxidant systems are overwhelmed or depleted by free radicals (due to an insult - a toxic exposure(s), source of inflammation, or trauma). A depletion of our protection leaves our cells and DNA vulnerable to further oxidative stress and damage. If we have variants on protective genes, then we can be even more vulnerable.Numerous studies have found high levels of superoxide, hydroxyl, and ONNO (peroxynitrite)free radicals in those with bipolar disorder.This vulnerability to DNA damage also explains why many with bipolar disorder have a higher risk of other health issues, including heart disease, breast cancer, multiple sclerosis, kidney failure, immune disorders, migraines, gastrointestinal illnesses, and others. But What About the Other 15 Genes? Genetic Weakness on Ion ChannelsThe remaining identified genes are more specific to bipolar disorder and relate to ion channel genes. Ion channels exist on the neuronal membranes, allowing potassium, sodium, and calcium to move in and out of the nerve cell. This movement creates an electrical charge that travels down the cell, releasing a neurotransmitter into the space between that neuron and other neurons to communicate with the next cell(s). OnsetHere again, an epigenetic event (toxic exposure, trauma, significant illness, etc.) leading to oxidative overload impacts the production of the proteins used in these channels, which affects the movement of ions in and out of the cell (more specifically causing flooding of potassium ions (K+) outside the cell) leading to hyperactivity of that nerve. This is why Dr. Walsh's theory considers bipolar disorder a channelopathy.EuthymiaEuthymia - when the mood is neither manic nor depressed - interestingly, appears to be the first mood state after the onset of the condition. The flooding of K+ outside the cell leads to hyperactivity of neurons for serotonin. However, that doesn't appear to cause symptoms since serotonin inhibits or keeps the activity of dopamine, norepinephrine, and glutamate in check.ManiaThe onset of mania starts to occur when the serotonin neuron hyperactivity (from the K+ flooding outside the cells) starts to fizzle out. What follows is a reduction in the inhibition of the neurotransmitters (dopamine, norepinephrine, glutamate, and others) that cause widespread neuronal hyperactivity, which causes manic symptoms.Eventually, the declining serotonin activity becomes the dominating force and triggers depression, which may persist for some time. Eventually, the serotonin nerves return to hyperactivity (again keeping things at bay), resulting in a stable mood - euthymia. Progression of Illness It is well known that preventing manic episodes can prevent the severity of the condition from escalating over time. Dr. Walsh's theory also addresses why.Aside from impacting neurotransmission, the problems occurring at the ion channels are also associated with further DNA damage. This means that each episode can potentially add to the DNA damage. Add to this typical DNA damage (for all of us) that comes with aging. A typically untreated original and often persistent insult (such as a toxic exposure), events occurring at the ion channel, and aging can lead to the progression and increasing severity of illness.TreatmentAs with any theory, the inevitable question becomes, how does this impact treatment? Allopathic or mainstream psychiatry uses medication approaches that aim and usually succeed at stabilizing mood. Again, this is important because of the consequences of mania or depression but also because of the potential physiologic damage caused by ongoing episodes. What isn't typically addressed in conventional psychiatry are:* Sources of oxidative stress. Does this person have mold toxicity, Lyme, metal toxicity, candida or other microbial overgrowth, chemical exposures, high EMF exposure, trauma, and/or chronic stress that are continuing to deplete protections and contribute to DNA damage? These are the types of issues that those of us who consider ourselves functional and environmental psychiatrists address.* Support for the antioxidant system. As with any brain condition, robust antioxidant support is indicated to address free radicals, but in this case, it is also indicated to prevent further DNA damage and to protect the ion channels. * Nutrient imbalances in varying combinations are typically also involved, such as methylation imbalances (often overmethylation), pyrrole disorder, and copper-zinc imbalances. Each of these can be exacerbated by high oxidative stress, which is a further cause of oxidative stress.Research into targeted antioxidants will be needed to build upon Dr. Walsh's research. The free radicals (superoxide, hydroxyl ions, and ONNO) are more easily addressed in the body than in the brain. In the meantime, in addition to more typical antioxidants, NAC (which inhibits activity at the glutamate receptor) and MT (metallothionein) promotion therapy (a combination of glutathione, zinc, B6, and specific amino acids) are expected to be beneficial.PreventionBecause bipolar disorder appears to be an epigenetic DNA damage illness (caused by major oxidative overload), early antioxidant treatment in those who are vulnerable to bipolar disorder may prevent the onset and development of this disease. It won't be long before such vulnerabilities can be identified, as early as infancy.For more on the work of Dr. William Walsh and the Walsh Research Institute Practioner Resource Map (, visit: https://www.walshinstitute.org/As always, I welcome your comments and questions.And if you would like to help me get this information out into the world, please consider sharing.Until next time,Courtney P.S.

I just recently realized that I haven't had a reoccurrence of depression in over a year! Mind blown, because baby, that depression would typically resurface at least twice a year, hitting me like a ton of bricks. I share how I have leveraged healing my subconscious mind, becoming the witness of all my emotions, not overly entangling myself with life, and saturating myself in the present moment. Enjoy!

Tony delves into smiling depression, medication, and natural ways to improve brain chemistry, Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD), formerly known as dysthymia- and much more! NOTE - Tony is not a doctor, and he shares a helpful way of how medications work that was explained to him, including what neurotransmitters are. What roles do serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, GABA, and glutamate play in one's mental health, and why do so many of the medications involve “reuptaking,” and what does that mean? Tony's advice is not to be viewed as a replacement for medical advice; he strongly recommends that people meet regularly with their doctor for medical advice. Tony explores the differences between various mental health conditions like PDD, OCD, NPD, and more. He also explores the historical context of dysthymia, the changes in diagnostic criteria with the release of DSM-5, the significance of moving the diagnosis from a personality disorder to a mood disorder, and how the two differ. Additionally, we will discuss treatment options, including therapy and medication, and more practical advice for those struggling with chronic low-grade depression. This episode is packed with insights and is a perfect listen before Thanksgiving for some psychological fun facts to share around the family table.

Persistent depressive disorder, known as dysthymia or low-grade depression, is less severe than major depression but more chronic. It occurs twice as often in women as in men. Persistent depressive disorder (PDD) is a serious and disabling disorder that shares many symptoms with other forms of clinical depression. It is generally experienced as a less severe but more chronic form of major depression. PDD was referred to as dysthymia in previous versions of the DSM. PDD is characterized by depressed mood experienced most of the time for at least two years. In children and adolescents, mood can be irritable rather than depressed. In addition to depression or irritable mood, at least two of the following must be present: insomnia or excessive sleep, low energy or fatigue, low self-esteem, poor appetite or overeating, poor concentration or indecisiveness, and feelings of hopelessness. More severe symptoms marking major depression are often absent in PDD—this includes anhedonia (the inability to feel pleasure), psychomotor symptoms (particularly lethargy or agitation), and thoughts of death or suicide.

Depressive disorders during pregnancy are common, with estimated prevalence ranging from 11% to 16%. Accordingly, antidepressant drugs, most commonly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), are used by approximately 3–4% of pregnant women worldwide, with a higher prevalence in the United States compared to Europe. As antidepressants cross the placenta and the fetal blood-brain barrier, exposure during pregnancy raises concerns of potential risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes. On August 30, 2024, a new study was released ahead of print in the AJOG. This confirmed the reduction in preterm birth risk with effective mental health counseling approaches; HOWEVER, it also concluded that “use of antidepressants during pregnancy was associated with an increased 31% risk of pre-delivery independent of underlying depression “. Do SSRI meds increase preterm labor risk by 31%?! This is indirect contrast to a separate publication published just six months earlier, in February 2024 in a separate journal. In this episode, we will discuss this very important topic of SSRI use in pregnancy and the preterm birth risk.

Jesse Starcher, Robert Cooper and Mark Radulich present their Alcest Les Chants de l Aurore Metal Album Review as part of the MHOD Jukebox!Les Chants de l'Aurore (transl. The Songs of Dawn) is the seventh studio album by French post-black metal band Alcest, released on 21 June 2024 by Nuclear Blast.Alcest is a French post-black metal band from Bagnols-sur-Cèze, founded and led by Neige (Stéphane Paut). It began in 2000 as a black metal solo project by Neige, then became a trio, but members Aegnor and Argoth left the band following the 2001 release of their first demo, leaving Neige as the sole member. Neige began incorporating elements of shoegaze and post-metal into the project's sound from 2005 onwards and is largely credited with pioneering the fusion genre known as blackgaze. In 2009, drummer Winterhalter from Les Discrets joined Alcest, after eight years with Neige as its sole full-time member.Since its creation, Alcest has released seven studio albums and a number of EPs and split releases. Their fourth album, 2014's Shelter, marked a dramatic shift towards a distinctly shoegaze sound, while their subsequent album Kodama (2016) marked a return to their earlier blackgaze sound. The band are widely credited with pioneering the blackgaze/post-black metal genre, particularly with their 2005 EP Le secret.All of that plus video reviews of ALCEST - Protection, LORDI - Dead Again Jayne, ALCEST - Flamme Jumelle and GWAR cover "I'm Just Ken".Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Rates of depression among people who struggle with disordered eating are high.   I see this come up in my clients in two main ways:   ➡️ Depressive symptoms increasing as they try to eat more and exercise less to stop binge eating, get their periods back and regulate their hunger and cravings    ➡️ Depression worsening body image issues or being triggered by body image triggers that come up in recovery   For many clients, depression improves immediately as they start changing the behaviors that were causing them to feel like a prisoner to obsession and anxiety around food.   For others, more support is needed.   If you're struggling with depression in disordered eating recovery - this does not always mean you are doing something WRONG.   Restrictive eating and compulsive exercise can be coping mechanisms.   When we release them…sometimes the stuff we REALLY need to confront in order to heal and live our healthiest, happiest lives comes flooding in.    And that often doesn't feel good at first.   You are not alone.   To discuss this topic I brought Sarah Dosanjh (The Binge Eating Therapist) on the podcast, a therapist out of the UK who specializes in binge eating.   We cover: The statistics on depression and eating disorders Why depression can get worse during ED recovery The symptoms and spectrum of depression The links between perfectionism, the inner critic and depression How body image and depression interact Tools and mindset shifts to manage depression   To learn more from or contact Sarah: Instagram: @the_binge_eating_therapist  Website: https://thebingeeatingtherapist.com/# Podcast: Life After Diets Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBingeEatingTherapist To learn more about working with me, click this link: bit.ly/elenakwebsite

April 21, 2024 - Sunday 9:30AM MPR 1 Speaker   Speaker: Glen Hitchcock   The Jesus Who Welcomes You Home - John 21:9-19 Unique Insights There are unique insights into the thinking of the disciples in that unusual period between the resurrection and establishment of the church in Acts. No one, not even the disciples of Jesus, understood what God had accomplished in Jesus' death and resurrection. There was a period of 50 days when God's greatest success seemed a failure from the human viewpoint. Passover and the days of unleavened bread being completed, the disciples had no need to stay in Jerusalem – they went home. GOOD NEWS, JESUS WELCOMES YOU HOME! JESUS WELCOMES US WHEN Overtaken By Separation & Loneliness, 1-2. Our Best Efforts Result In Emptiness, 3-5. Our Vision Is Not Always Clear, 5-14. Our Failure Is Undeniable, 15-19. When Overtaken by Separation & Loneliness, 1-2. The disciples were greatly discouraged after the crucifixion, and despite several post-resurrection appearances there seemed to be lingering doubts among some. The anxiety of separation & loneliness did not force them to quit. They came in Galilee in obedience to Jesus's command (Matt. 28:10)… “to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.” Question? Do You Think the Disciples Were Being Tested? When Our Best Efforts Result In Emptiness, 3-4 These men were fishermen, and perhaps they needed food and money to provide for their living expenses. Their night labors apart from Jesus proved to be unproductive. Truth: “Until one can clearly see Jesus, our labors are in vain” (John 15:4-5). Jesus Welcomes The Weary and Heavy Laden, (Matt. 11:28-30) in contrast to the Wicked and Lazy (Prov. 13:4; Matt. 25:26). When Our Vision is Unclear, 5-13 The disciples come in before dawn with no fish, Jesus--whom they do not recognize--directs them to cast on the right side - they catch 153 large fish. The catch is large enough to make John identify the Man on the shore, and he tells Peter, v-7. Peter, dressed in his undergarments alone, jumps in and immediately heads to shore, v-7. There, Jesus has cooked a meal for them and welcomes them to break their fast and eat, v-12. These 7 disciples know who Jesus is; the dawn breaks, and they eat breakfast with Jesus, vs. 12-13. When Failure is Undeniable, 15-19 “Character is built on the debris of our despair.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Painful Conversation, 15-19 Perfecting Of Character Present Concern Plan Of Christ   Four Basic Realities Concerning Failure Decisive. There are a hundred ways in which one can be declared a failure, but few in which one can be called a success. Distortive. A feeling of failure in one area of endeavor often distorts meaning in all other areas. Depressive. Societal stress on the significance of failure is so powerful that any failure produces a sense of defeatism which can lead one to unquestionably define one's whole life as a failure. Diminishing. The common result of failure in any endeavor is the disconnect of personal initiative, drive, self-confidence, and determination. PAINFUL CONVERSATION, 15-19 To appreciate the awkwardness and painfulness of the moment for Peter, remember a few facts: The night of the betrayal Peter had emphatically declared that even if everyone else deserted Jesus, he would not desert Jesus. He then did desert Jesus at the arrest. Later, as he returned to the Jewish proceedings, 3 times he denied Jesus. Luke 22:61 states that upon the third denial that Jesus looked at him, he remembered Jesus' prediction, and he went into the night weeping bitterly. Luke 24:34 states that the Lord soon after the resurrection appeared to Peter, but no information is given regarding this appearance and what was said. The first recorded interaction between the risen Jesus and Peter, following the resurrection, is John 21. PAINFUL CONVERSATION 1.On the betrayal night, Peter before all the disciples had emphatically declared that he would not desert Jesus. In John 21, before 6 of those same disciples, Jesus begins to question Peter concerning his devotion. 2.Three times Peter denied the Lord; three times the Lord now asks Peter if Peter loves Him. Can you sense the pain, and the awkwardness Peter must have felt? Jesus is not being cruel; Jesus knows that Peter must find his open commitment and resolve again. Peter must face what he has done, and he must face how he feels about Jesus! Jesus in essence, asked Peter, “Peter, where are you in OUR relationship?” (He made Peter state where he was). PERFECTING OF CHARACTER HERE IS A PROCESS RARELY EVIDENCED BY SOCIETY While Peter is fishing in the debris of failure and despair, Jesus is pruning his character for faithfulness and devotion! Jesus is totally unconcerned about what Peter has done; Jesus is only concerned about where Peter is in his feelings for and devotion to Jesus! Jesus did not question Peter about the denial. He did not ask him if he had learned his lesson. He did not ask him how he felt about what he had done He did not ask for some statement of repentance. He did not lecture Peter on what he had done. Jesus did not say, “Peter, I told you so.” He did not tell Peter that from now on, you better believe anything I say! He did not dwell on how weak Peter was or how badly it hurt to hear Peter's denials. Jesus wanted to know one thing and one thing alone — “Peter, do you love me?” How it hurts for someone you have loved dearly to have reason to question your love! How it must have hurt for Jesus to even feel the need to ask. Lesson to remember, “We are never defeated unless we give up on God.” (Ronald Reagan). Jesus didn't give up on Peter & Peter didn't on God! Jesus had the same job for Peter to do in John 21 that He had for Peter before that last night. Jesus planned on using Peter to do the work He originally committed to Peter. The Fact That Peter Had Failed Had No Bearing On Jesus' Plans For Peter. If Peter still loved Jesus, his failure had changed nothing. Jesus was completely unconcerned about past failure; he was concerned only about future service and unselfishness. “A series of failures may culminate in the best possible result.” (Gisela Richter) Peter's failures in his denials had not destroyed his ability to accomplish the Lord's purpose in his life. Jesus wanted to make an apostle out of a man who had failed. Jesus wanted to use this man who failed to preach the first gospel sermon to the Gentiles. There was no reason for those divine plans not to come to pass if Peter still loved Jesus and was not ashamed to admit it publicly. For this to happen: Peter had to accept his failure. He could not offer excuses for his failure. He had to accept responsibility for his failure. He had to put his failure in the past. Peter had to accept forgiveness. He needed forgiveness for what he'd done. He had to be open to the forgiveness and to welcome the forgiveness. Peter had to accept the task the Lord wanted him to do. He could not let feelings of unworthiness keep him from doing the work. He could not let feelings of embarrassment or shame keep him from it. He had to believe he could do what the Lord wanted done. Peter had to have enough faith and love to recover his commitment and devotion – and try! PRESENT CONCERN Peter Underscores A Truth We Need To Freely Admit. It hurts to submit to the Lord's use after we fail. Why? The realities of failure cause us to fish in our own despair! Satan feeds us the bait and we can't get off the hook! When we make a bad mistake, when we really blow it, it is much easier to hide; to build a big, defensive wall of elaborate excuses; or to pretend nothing really happened. Everyone finds it humiliating to face unnecessary failure. We believe before the failure that we were better persons than that.[Fishing in our despair] We were confident we were good enough people that we would not do something like that. We had respect for ourselves. Then to make a mistake which we knew we should not make truly humiliates us. In that humiliation, we feel like we ought to fade into the background rather than getting involved in God's service. IT IS HUMBLING TO FAIL We are not as strong as we surely were. We cannot trust our own strength as much as we thought we could. [The first problem of Self, not sin] We become keenly aware of OUR total dependence on the Lord. It hurts to serve after failure because it is hard for us to take our eyes off the mistake. Commitment after failure often does draw others attention. There will be some who are skeptical. Yet, no one will be as aware of our mistakes as we are. THE PLAN OF CHRIST Take Careful Note Of What He Did Three times He asked Peter if Peter loved Him, and every time He asked Peter to do the work the Lord had planned for him. [This Pointed to the Future NOT the Failure] Jesus had said, “Peter, if you love Me, I want you to do the work I have prepared for you.” Loving Jesus means putting the failure behind and getting on with the Lord's work. Learn from failure but move on to faithfulness – “Welcome” to the future. The whole situation was so painful to Peter, he could not stand it. He confessed he loved Jesus, but that was not enough. It was as though Peter was saying, “Lord, please don't ask me anymore; You know me--in fact, You know all things, so You must know I love you! The 3rd time grieved Peter so much he resorted to the oldest tactic of man; he asked, “What about him?” talking of John. Vs. 20-21. Jesus reply in essence was this: “My plans for him are of not real concern to you.” - “Right now, he is not the issue,” vs. 22. “I expect you to do what I know you can do,” v-22 “follow me” A POWERFUL LESSON FOR US “WELCOME” Our failures have no bearing on the Lord's plans to use our lives if we have love enough for Him to recover from the failure. For the Lord to achieve His will after our failure, We Must: The Jesus Who “Welcomes” Us We All Fail, Remember: Our failures do not mean an end to the Lord's plans to make use of us! Let us not be defined by our failures but by our faithful devotion to serve the Risen Savior Who Welcomes us! The only time you can't afford to fail is the very last time you try! So quit taking Satan's bait while making Jesus wait! Commit to the cause of Christ now! Matt. 11:28-30.   Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU_TWtlSDKc   Duration 41:04

MESSAGE NOTES: http://bible.com/events/49218651RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.org/Have you or a loved one ever experienced depression? Depressive episodes are so prevalent in the United States, and you can find help and hope in the Bible. In Numbers 11:17, Moses has been crying out to God in his depression, and God responds that he will pour his Spirit upon people who will help Moses. You have a purpose, and you do not have to go through your depression alone. When you or your loved one are struggling, be help and be hope for one another.

Dr. Roger McIntyre, Professor of Psychiatry and Pharmacology at the University of Toronto and Head of the Mood Disorders Psychopharmacology Unit at the University Health Network in Toronto, Canada, returns to introduce depressive disorders. We differentiate normal "low mood" from conditions that warrant a psychiatric diagnosis. We discuss historical subtypes of depression and the current DSM specifiers for major depressive disorder. We review epidemiology, discuss the neurophysiology of depressive disorders, and then dive into treatment options.

Depressive episodes can completely change how you function. From isolation to depriving yourself of things that feel good, from constant sleeping to insomnia, from lethargy to excessive energy. Whatever your specific experiences, life just seems to grind to a halt during a depressive episode. But that doesn't have to be the norm for you, and I'm going to talk through how to change it for yourself.
