Podcasts about finally what

ICYMI, the last year has been stressful. But we can’t just unplug, wait a few seconds, and hope that everything returns to "normal" again. No matter how much we might want to. That's why today, we're gonna dig into something that’s been generating a lot of buzz over the last few months: mindfulness. First: We’ll hear from a Skimm’r who has used mindfulness to get through some tough moments – at home and in the classroom. Then: It’s time to dig into the science. As in: What even is mindfulness? Why is everyone telling me how great it is? And, is there any actual evidence that it works?  Later: We’ll explore how mindfulness can help us stay engaged with the world around us.  Finally: What better way to wrap things up than by talking tips, techniques, and ways to apply mindfulness to improve our day-to-day? On this episode, you’ll hear from:  Jennifer Hutchins, middle school English teacher and mindfulness practitioner Dr. Tara Brach, clinical psychologist, author, “Radical Compassion: Learning to Love Yourself and Your World with the Practice of R.A.I.N.” Bea Arthur, psychotherapist and CEO, The Difference Jaclyn London, MS, RD, Head of Nutrition & Wellness, WW (Weight Watchers Reimagined) Want more Skimm?  Sign up for our free daily newsletter Email us your questions about what’s going on in the news right now  Skimm'd by Justine Davie, Ciara Long, Elizabeth Smith, and Luke Vargas.

This week, we interview Dr Lucy Johnstone. Lucy is a clinical psychologist, trainer, speaker and writer, and a long-standing critic of the biomedical model of psychiatry. She has worked in adult mental health settings for many years, alternating with academic posts.  Lucy has authored a number of books, including 'Users and Abusers of Psychiatry’(Routledge 2000), and ‘A Straight-talking Introduction to Psychiatric Diagnosis’ (PCCS Books 2014) as well as a number of articles and chapters on topics such as psychiatric diagnosis, formulation and the role of trauma in breakdown. She has a blog on Mad in America.  Lucy kindly took time out talk to me about the new Power Threat Meaning Framework, an ambitious attempt to outline a conceptual alternative to psychiatric diagnosis which was published on January 12th this year by the Division of Clinical Psychology of the British Psychological Society. In this episode we discuss: Lucy’s background and what led her to be interested in mental health work, particularly in terms of being critical of current practice. The importance of acknowledging the reality of people’s experiences of distress along with questioning the dominant explanations for that distress. The fact that the diagnostic model has never been supported by evidence. How imposing a diagnosis often can be very damaging to people, by turning ‘people with problems’ into ‘patients with illnesses.’ Why we need to move towards the survivor slogan of “Instead of asking “What is wrong with you?” ask “What has happened to you?”’ The inception of the Power Threat Meaning Framework, which was funded by the Division of Clinical Psychology of the British Psychological Society, and the five-year journey to its release earlier this year. The composition of the core project team: Lucy, Mary Boyle, John Cromby, Jacqui Dillon, John Read, Peter Kinderman, Eleanor Longden, Dave Harper, Dave Pilgrim and a research assistant Kate Allsopp. The core team consists of psychologists and survivors/campaigners, many of whom are well known to MIA readers. Also involved were a consultancy group of service users/carers; a group of critical readers with a particular focus on diversity; and a number of others who contributed to particular sections or supplied good practice examples. How the Framework itself is not an official DCP or BPS position or policy document, nor is it a plan for services or for any other specific form of implementation. Rather, it is offered as a co-produced academic and conceptual resource to anyone who wishes to take on these ideas and principles and develop them further or translate them into practice. The Framework is necessarily dense because of its aim to move right away from the “DSM/ICD mindset” which is deeply rooted in Western culture. However, there are various accessible summaries of its core principles (see below.) How we already have a number of ways of supporting someone non-diagnostically, but what we didn't have before was a sound, evidence-based alternative to what diagnosis claims, but fails to do, which is to outline patterns in distress. How the Framework acknowledges the irreducible complexity of a person’s responses to their circumstances. The derivation of the title: The Power Threat Meaning Framework. The four main questions, which are: What has happened to you? Translated as “How is Power operating in your life?” How did it affect you? Translated as “What kinds of Threats does this pose?” What sense did you make of it? Translated as “What is the Meaning of these situations and experiences to you?” What did you have to do to survive? Translated as “What kinds of Threat Response are you using?” Finally “What are your strengths?” or “What access to Power resources do you have?” and to pull it all together, “What is your story?” These are not separate questions, since each of them implies and arises out of the others. That the aim is for people to be able to use these ideas and questions for themselves, not necessarily through an interaction with a professional. How the PTM Framework does not recognise a separate group of people who are ‘mentally ill’ but describes how we are all subject to, and affected by, the negative impact of power in some aspects of our lives. How it is particularly important to recognise the role of ideological power, or power over language, meaning and agendas. How the PTM Framework includes the concept of formulation, which is a semi-structured way of putting together someone’s story, but is much wider in scope and for that reason uses the preferred term “narrative” – which may be individual, group or community. How diagnosis often obscures someone's story, and how the Framework aims to help create narratives that restore the links between personal distress and social injustice. What the PTM Framework says about DSM and ICD attitudes to conceptualisations of distress in non-Western cultures. That since we are meaning-making creatures, at a very basic level the principles of power, threat, meaning and threat response apply across time and across cultures, although all expressions and experiences of distress are culturally-shaped. The regrettable exporting of Western psychiatric models across the world. How the Framework does not exclude or deny the role of biology, but integrates it as a mediator and enabler of all human experience, although not something that is always accurate or helpful to view as a primary cause. The reaction to the Framework, both positive and negative. The team very much welcomes feedback, much of which has been very helpful. Some of the more extreme reactions can be understood as predictable responses to the threat posed by the Framework to ideological power. How the reaction outside social media has been overwhelmingly positive. Emphasising again that the Framework is (unlike diagnosis) presented as a completely optional set of ideas, and a work in progress. The project team is very pleased that there is such widespread interest in taking these ideas forward in people’s own lives and settings. People are encouraged to explore these ideas for themselves via the links below. More resources will be added in due course.

What’s possible? What’s next? We close out our 4-part miniseries on Storytelling by looking to the space of the future. Being able to set a future direction gives a sense of purpose in your here and now and draws you forward with intention. But this doesn’t mean it comes naturally. In fact, even though research indicates that simply focusing on the future causes us to be perceived as “leaders,” most of us aren’t in the practice of doing this. Sharon shares her 5 tips for stepping into a future-oriented stance and the gifts it offers. Enjoy! Started out today with a birthday shout out to my most fabulous mama. Happy birthday mom! This episode marks the close of our Storytelling series and we finish up in this series with a look to the future. In that spirit I shared a few of my favorite tips for getting into the future-oriented/visionary mindset (see below). Fun fact: Simply taking a future-oriented stance will cause others to perceive you as a leader.  (What does this look like in practice? It can be as simple as asking questions like: Where are we headed? What’s possible?) 5 Tips For Tapping Into Your Visionary Self 1. Be clear about the kind of future you are imagining The first step to tapping into your visionary self is to BE CLEAR. What kind of a future vision are you imagining? ( A vision for…work? relationships? home? family? whole life?) What’s the time horizon that feels meaningful for your future vision? Finally: What do you want? What do you wish for? Vision is ultimately about desire for where you want to go. You can learn more about the full vision process over on the Blog or in the Go Beyond coloring + activity book on our Shop. 2. Remember the importance of your past and present The past: What is your story up until now. Will it catapult me towards where I want to go? The present: What’s real for us right now? Cozy up to all your present truths and honor them. Don’t let them sidetrack you, but don’t try to ignore them. (It won’t work!) 3. Let go of reality thinking Be able to separate from past and present and be open to possibility, unhindered by by the constraints of what is true today or has been true in the past.  If you really feel stuck here, you might start by doing a written mind dump of all the reality thinking. Usually once we write it down, we can set it aside. Try to see what shows up without the constraints of dialogue. Be quiet with yourself. Experiment with different ways to tap into your vision. Draw. Collage. Write lists. Create a field guild. Whatever. Get your creative juices flowing. A word on timing: If you have a full day to dedicate to visioning, great! But 10 minutes is also stellar! Use the time you have. 4. Be open to surprises I will usually step into visioning by asking people what they already see for their future. You’d be amazed by how much people already know. Tap into your own inner wisdom by listening to the Vision Meditation shared in Episode 5. 5. Let it evolve The more we see, the more our perspective grows and that can change our vision. I think of this as the “Go Beyond” mindset and it is the final and critical piece to leading from a visionary stance versus simply achieving a set vision. We continue to grow and evolve as people and businesses as we move towards our visions and this might mean that our visions will shift and evolve right with us. Be open to it.
