Legal rights groups urge school leaders not to adopt Texas' Bible-infused curriculumThe Texas Tribune, By Jaden Edison, on January 30, 2025https://www.texastribune.org/2025/01/30/texas-aclu-bible-bluebonnet-curriculum/#:~:text=The%20American%20Civil%20Liberties%20Union,Learning%2C%20would%20%22unlawfully%20impose%20a The Texas State Board of Education's recent adoption of the Blue Bonnet curriculum, a Bible-infused educational program, has sparked legal concerns and pushback from civil rights groups. Critics argue that the curriculum heavily integrates Christian ideology, downplays significant historical events like slavery and civil rights struggles, and promotes religious favoritism in public education. Supporters, on the other hand, defend it as a necessary inclusion to properly teach students about history and the influence of Christianity. Adding fuel to the controversy, the state is offering schools $60 per student to implement the curriculum, raising concerns about whether this amounts to coercion. Legal organizations are warning school districts of potential constitutional violations, particularly regarding the separation of church and state. Texas now joins other states like Louisiana and Oklahoma in pushing religiously motivated education policies, with legal battles looming on the horizon. The broader issue at play is where the line should be drawn between education and indoctrination. If a curriculum truly aimed to educate about religious diversity, it would include perspectives from multiple faiths, rather than elevating Christianity above all others. Yet, attempts to introduce other religious viewpoints often meet resistance. A recent Supreme Court ruling weakened the “Lemon Test,” a key standard for determining church-state separation, further blurring the legal boundaries. The concern now is that similar religiously motivated educational policies could spread unchecked, challenging secular principles in public education. This push for Christian-centric education also exposes the hypocrisy in religious privilege. If proponents argue that the majority should dictate educational content in a democracy, then why aren't non-Christian perspectives equally considered? While groups like the Satanic Temple and some Jewish organizations have challenged such policies in court, these efforts often receive less attention. The core issue remains: why does Christianity receive special treatment while other faiths and secular viewpoints are marginalized? With legal battles ahead, the role of religion in public schools may soon face even greater scrutiny.The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.07.3 featuring Cynthia McDonald, Helen Greene, Eli Slack and Kelley LaughlinBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

Hosts: Greg Skordas and Leah Murray The state Legislature is still in session and a new bill is working its way through the system, HB269 Public School History Curricula Amendments, which would require schools to display a poster detailing the Ten Commandments. This week that bill underwent some changes in committee, and it now says that the Ten Commandments can be taught in public schools—not that they have to be. Is this bill in violation of the Lemon Test?
Hosts: Greg Skordas and Leah Murray Eye on the Hill: HB269 Public School History Curricula Amendments The state Legislature is still in session and a new bill is working its way through the system, HB269 Public School History Curricula Amendments, which would require schools to display a poster detailing the Ten Commandments. This week that bill underwent some changes in committee, and it now says that the Ten Commandments can be taught in public schools—not that they have to be. Is this bill in violation of the Lemon Test? Eye on the Hill: HB290 Ranked Choice Voting Amendments There are a couple of interesting election stories happening in Utah this week. When things start to go down we like to bring in a County Clerk to tell us about what’s happening. Davis County Clerk Brian McKenzie joins Greg and Leah to talk about what happened in Cache County and discuss the status of ranked choice voting in Utah. Eye on the Hill with the Government Records Access and Management Act There is an important bill in our government, which is known as the Sunshine Law. Public bodies are supposed to do their work openly and in front of the public. The power that individual citizens have to open those records comes from the GRAMA (Government Records Access and Management Act), which allows us to access records. Leah and Greg listen to an interview with First Amendment Lawyer Jeff Hunt, where he explains this using examples from current legislation. Utah State Board of Education votes to request for Natalie Cline’s resignation The Utah State Board of Education voted unanimously Wednesday night requesting that embattled board member Natalie Cline resign immediately. Natalie Cline is saying that the Board moved too fast and that she had no due process. Doesn’t due process only apply in criminal cases? Does it apply to boards dealing with their own members? Is higher education still worth it? According to a new policy brief by the Kem C. Gardner institute, there are several reasons why higher education is necessary and important. Some of those reasons include greater economic stability and valuable benefits added to society and to Utah's economy. Leah and Greg break down some of the other big takeaways from the report.

The cases involving affirmative action and Lorie Smith and 303 Creative have received the most attention from the recent Supreme Court term, but another ruling has important implications for religious liberty. The Court ruled that U.S. Post Office employee Gerald Groff could not be forced to work on Sundays. Thanks are due to Groff and his lawyers at The First Liberty Institute. In the past, employers could get away with merely offering lip service to religious exemptions for workers because any vaguely defined “undue hardship” for the bosses overrode their faith concerns. Now, employers must demonstrate that accommodating an employee's faith would entail a “substantial increased cost” before demanding their conformity. The ruling is a final blow to the “now abrogated” Lemon Test that hampered religious liberty for a half-century. It also provides legal standing for challenging other impositions on religious liberty at work—such as being forced to use “preferred pronouns,” or post rainbow flags, or join “pride” marches.

In this episode, Legal Director Jess Braverman and Special Projects Advisor Erin Maye Quade discuss how religion is being used to expand and limit civil rights. The Supreme Court's Kennedy v. Bremerton School District case called into question the use of the Lemon Test for Establishment Clause violations and raised questions about religion in public spaces. Title IX's exemption for religious organizations raises concerns about discrimination protection for women in religious-affiliated institutions. A critique of the Supreme Court for not relying on facts or precedent in recent cases. The Minnesota Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination, but has discriminatory exemptions for LGBTQ people. The Affordable Care Act and emergency contraception are also discussed in relation to Supreme Court cases. The Minnesota Human Rights Act is one of the strongest in the country, but it also has exceptions and discriminatory language. ### Visit the "Gender Justice" Website here and "Unrestrict Minnesota" here.

In TRP YouTube Episode 93, Dr. Shannon Holzer, Ph.D., a First Amendment Religion Clause scholar at Houston Baptist University joins TRP podcast today to discuss Kennedy v. Bremerton School District (decided 27 June 2022, US Supreme Court). The case involved a football coach who had been fired for praying on the football field after the game. The case is significant because it appears that the Court got rid of the infamous “Lemon” test that it sometimes had used in the past to resolve cases of this type. We discuss the “Lemon” test and some of the history and tradition of First Amendment Religion Clause jurisprudence as a part of our discussion.

Audio of the opinion of the Court in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District (2022). High School Football Coach Joseph Kennedy prayed aloud with a number of students during and after school games on numerous occasions. When the Bremerton School District asked him to stop, citing the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, Kennedy refused, rallying significant local support. He sued the school district, arguing that the only Constitutional rights that had been violated were his, under the First Amendment as well as Title Seven of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. When the case made it before the Supreme Court, the question was whether the prayer of an employee of a public school during school sports activities was protected speech under the Establishment Clause of the Constitution, and if so, whether the school could prohibit the public prayer in an effort to avoid violating the Establishment Clause? The Court held that both the free exercise and the free speech clauses protect personal religious observance, like Joseph Kennedy's prayers, from government reprisal. One of the things that makes this decision so significant is that it replaced the legal standard the Court had used for the previous five decades, the Lemon Test, with a new standard loosely defined as a consideration or analysis of historical practices and understandings. The Lemon Test was established in the opinion of the Court in Lemon v. Kurtzman, which I just so happened to read last episode.

Audio of the 1971 Opinion of the Court in Lemon v. Kurtzman. In 1968 and 1969 Pennsylvania and Rhode Island passed similar laws that allocated state funding to supplement the teaching of secular material in private religious schools. In both cases, tax-paying citizens sued to have the respective state laws declared unconstitutional, arguing that they violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. When these cases, combined, made it before the Supreme Court, they agreed. The Court held that a statute must pass a three-pronged test (known as the Lemon test) in order to avoid violating the Establishment Clause. According to the Lemon test, the statute must have three things: a secular legislative purpose, its principal or primary effect must be one that neither promotes nor inhibits religion, and it must not foster “excessive government entanglement with religion.” All three of the prongs in the test had to be satisfied for a law to survive a challenge under the Establishment Clause. And I use the past-tense "had" just now because, earlier this year, the Supreme Court held, in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, that the Lemon test shall no longer be the legal standard for determining whether a law violates the establishment clause. Instead, the Court shall rely solely on an analysis historical practices and understandings rather than any kind of test regarding the law's legislative purpose, effects, or possible entanglement between government and religion.

In response to the recent Dobbs decision and the Supreme Court's clear, consistent support for religious liberty throughout this term, many progressives are warning of an imminent “Christian theocracy.” Among the loudest voices predicting our collective doom are mainstream media outlets. For example, a recent story in Reuters claimed, “U.S. Supreme Court Takes Aim at Separation of Church and State.” What's missing in virtually all of these pieces is a proper understanding of the “establishment clause.” The establishment clause is derived from the opening lines of the First Amendment which states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …” There are two ways this statement is commonly misunderstood. First, it is often described as establishing a “wall of separation between church and state.” In fact, those words are found nowhere in the Constitution. The phrase actually was coined later in a letter by Thomas Jefferson. Second, and more importantly, it is assumed that if organized religion cannot be supported by the state, then secularism is somehow “neutral.” Thus, by default, anything goes as long as it's “secular.” Understanding the historical context is essential. In the 18th century, an “established” religion referred to an official state church. In the U.S., individual states had already established churches, such as the Anglican Church in Virginia. The First Amendment specifically applied to Congress and prohibited a national church. To prefer the Anglican Church over the Congregationalists or Presbyterians would, at the time, mean alienating certain citizens and entire states. States continued to have established churches well into the 19th century. In addition, the First Amendment was not intended to prohibit religious activities in governmental institutions. From the very beginning, Congress started each session with prayer. That continues today and is led by an official chaplain. Our founding fathers, particularly James Madison, believed that religious liberty was an innate right, and inseparable from the freedom of conscience. He also believed that religion would better flourish in a free marketplace of ideas. That thinking was the basis for the free exercise clause. This understanding of the freedom of conscience is the foundation for the other freedoms protected in the First Amendment. Without conscience rights, we cannot truly speak, write, assemble, or advocate freely from our deepest beliefs. That's why the freedom of religion is often called “the first freedom.” Its position in the Bill of Rights highlights its importance. Although the rights of conscience should not be controversial, somehow, that's what they have become. How this happened is worth considering. By claiming secularism to be neutral, proponents of secularism ,as far back as the 19th century, attempted to broadly apply laws originally intended by Protestants to prevent Catholic schools from accessing state funds. In the 20th-century, secularists embraced the concept of “a living Constitution” in order to transform the meaning of the First Amendment, attempting to keep religious institutions from accessing state funds and allowing only “secular” views in the public arena. Though many court cases illustrate this, among the more important was Torcaso v. Watkins (1961), which declared unconstitutional Maryland's requirement that officeholders state belief in God. Rather than ruling on the basis of Article VI, which prohibits religious tests for public office, the Supreme Court ruled on the basis of the establishment clause of the First Amendment and of the Fourteenth Amendment, which prohibits states from violating the rights guaranteed to U.S. citizens. The same line of reasoning has since been used to challenge prayers at public meetings, Bible studies in schools, and nativity scenes on public property. In the process, the First Amendment was turned on its head, taking a clause intended to keep the state from backing any one denomination and construing it to position the state in opposition to all organized religions. In footnote 11 of the Torcaso v. Watkins decision, Justice Hugo Black listed secular humanism as one of a number of religions “which do not teach what would generally be considered a belief in the existence of God.” Calling humanism a religion was not outlandish. For a century, humanists such as John Dewey and Julian Huxley had defined their beliefs as a religion. After all, secularism involves certain claims about the cosmos, existence, and human nature. And yet in 1994, the Ninth Circuit Court ruled in Peloza v. Capistrano Unified School District that while “religion” should be broadly interpreted for free exercise clause purposes, “anything ‘arguably non-religious' should not be considered religious in applying the establishment clause.” In other words, secular organizations were able to play both sides, qualifying as a religion for the free exercise clause but free from constraints from the establishment clause. To further determine whether religious activities could utilize public spaces, the Supreme Court derived the so-called “Lemon Test” in the case Lemon v. Kurzman (1991). According to this rule, a religious activity is only licit on public grounds if it performs a secular purpose, neither advances nor inhibits religion, and does not foster excessive government entanglement in religion. This test maintained an obviously secular bias: Secular organizations were not required to pass any tests to obtain access. In the recent decision in the Coach Kennedy case, the Supreme Court continued its long-overdue corrections to the anti-religious way the First Amendment had been interpreted. Particularly by unequivocally tossing the “Lemon Test,” the Court has stopped the active suppression of religious beliefs and practice. We ought not fear an impending theocracy, but instead welcome a redress to the unjust and ahistorical understandings of religion.
It was a very subjective “skeleton” that came out of the closet when needed.

Wake the Faith up Slayer… This is Garth Heckman with the David Alliance and you can reach me at TDAgiantslayer@gmail.com Brought to you by wellbuiltbody.com Gym Apparel for men and women that rocks and shocks and ain't for everybody - but just might be for you. What is a problem a setback… Well it's an opportunity… ever hear someone say “you see a problem and I see an opportunity”. It sounds so righteous and confident and even brash… You know the “I'm an overcomer and I turn lemons into lemonade”. But what if a problem, pain, setback, dilemma, obstacle, headache, doubt… call it what you will (maybe just call it life) what if its not seen as an opportunity to overcome, but rather as a test to prove your commitment to Christ. What if you never achieve a positive outcome from that bad in your life? What if it becomes your thorn in your side like the apostle Paul. You never do get out of debt. You never do get healthy. You never do have your own company. You never do gain a healthy relationship with that person. You might see it as a failure… you might second guess and blame your sin or your inconsistencies as to why you don't have your breakthrough…. OR you can simply see it as a test that you will pass. A test that allows you to say to God - I will serve you no matter what! In the Good, the bad, the ugly and the unknown - I will love you and serve you. NOW you might wince at that and think… gee Garth is that all you got. It seems a little naive - but look at the opposite. If everything is going well for you than your commitment to God and love for him is pretty disingenuous. You prove your love and commitment not in the luxury of life, but in the fire of life. When a young couple gets married they are typically in the throes of infatuation… Everything is good, they are young and healthy, full of hopes and dreams… Yes they love each other in the sense that they have strong emotions for one another… but love is an action and actions are proven in times of fire, hardship, pain, discomfort, monotony and even sin. Micah 7:8 the prophet says Do not gloat over my enemy, tho I have fallen I will get back up. Lets put legs on this verse… Do not let my problems take over my mind and beat me up and tell me my problems are bigger than my desire to serve God. Because even tho I have problems, I will continue to serve him regardless… I will always get back up! Micah is choosing to revel in his problems… for in those moments in his life he gets to prove his love for God. I once had a conversation with a man who's wife had an affair with another man. Now this was a good husband, a Godly man but his wife had lots of baggage and abuse from her childhood and much of that led to her having an affair. When I asked him why he didn't leave her he said “well that was my opportunity to prove to her that I truly do love her in good times and bad times… the greater the test the greater the proof of my love for her”. And guess what- it made their marriage stronger than ever. She expected him to leave, she expected him to move on, he had a biblical right to do so… but when he stayed she was convinced that he must truly love her. When you have a problem that might seem to never end, then it might just be a never ending opportunity to prove how much you love God.
We've all heard the phrase “separation of church and state,” but do we know where it came from? Guest Professor Philip Hamburger gets us into the history of the Establishment Clause, the flaws in the “separation” theory, and why a memorial cross on public property in Bladensburg, Maryland, deserves to stay.
“Religious liberty” is a phrase that we often hear, particularly in news stories revolving around Supreme Court decisions. But what is religious liberty and why is it often referred to as “the first liberty?” These are among the questions addressed in Kenneth Starr's 2021 book, Religious Liberty in Crisis: Exercising Your Faith in an Age of Uncertainty (Encounter, 2021) Although Judge Starr possesses impeccable scholarly credentials, the book is intended for general readers. It is an informative blend of American legal and constitutional history and a primer for all of us about a crucial component of our set of rights as citizens. Even if you are not religious, the book will endow you with a greater understanding of an issue that frequently roils the body politic and that is both timeless and of ongoing concern. Think Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission—decided by the Supreme Court in 2018. Luckily, we have with us today one of America's leading lawyers to walk us through the fascinating history of religious liberty and give us the lowdown on what we need to know should we find ourselves facing a choice between honoring our sabbath day and keeping our jobs. Kenneth Starr has been a figure of great note on the American legal landscape for decades. He is perhaps best known for his role in the Whitewater investigation during the Clinton administration and as a key member of Donald Trump's defense team in the latter's first impeachment trial. He has been among other things, a federal judge at the highest levels, a law school dean and a university president. Most significantly in terms of the subject matter of his new book and thus the main focus of our interview, he is a long-time champion of religious liberty and, as solicitor general under George HW Bush, argued before the Supreme Court such notable religious liberty and freedom of speech cases as Westside Community Schools v. Mergens, in which the Supreme Court found that a Bible club has the same right of equal access on school grounds as any other student-led organization. Judge Starr employs that famous case to illustrate one of the concepts discussed in book, equality. It is a cause dear to his heart and probably even more so given own quite humble origins in his home state of Texas. The common man aspects of Starr's background have enabled him to make this book approachable to its intended broad-ranging audience. Most of us at one time or another have found ourselves in school, work or business environments or simply driving along a highway and it is surprising how often questions involving religious liberty pop up for average people in such settings. Starr guides the reader engagingly and expertly through such questions as: What is the Lemon Test? What do you need to know about religious liberty as a parent, public school or college student, teacher, small business owner or employee? How have wedding cakes, monuments in the shape of Christian crosses, public displays of the Ten Commandments on government property, and government-subsidized school bus rides played into all of this? What is “accommodation” in this context and when might you need to seek one and what should you do if you are denied it? What is the relationship between free speech and religious liberty? We welcome Judge Starr, a Christian gentleman of the first order. Give a listen. Hope J. Leman is a grants researcher. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Here in this video I talk to Juan Carlos Gouveia about his biochemical background; now working with the mind as a rapid transformational therapist and clinical hypnotherapist; the Lemon Test; mind being only in the now; forgiveness being paramount; an example of how trauma from childhood can affect us; a human tendency to generalize ideas and people; his services being beyond hypnosis; the language of the subconscious being emotional; some of his clients going to a past life as the source of the 'first occurrence'; common thought distortions we have about ourselves & others; importance of resolving things not just consciously but subconsciously as well; "if there is a will, there is way - otherwise you're making excuses"; 54:50 exam procrastination inquiry; 'chunking' our time; our needs in day - certainty, uncertainty, significance, connection - need of a balance in life & the subconscious mind blocking wishes of the conscious mind.

This case explores the rise and fall of the so-called Lemon Test from the case of Lemon v. Kurtzman (1971). The Lemon Test was an important part of the Supreme Court's approach to the Establishment Clause for the last half century, but the recent case of American Legion v. American Humanist Association (2019) eschewed reliance on the Lemon Test and cast doubt on its continued relevance.
It's a 97% Trump-free episode! First we have to cover the bullet points Andrew foolishly thought we could get to last week, including questions like: does a 50-50 Senate mean no more Majority Leader McConnell? and what consequences should there be for law firms that take Trump's money and file frivolous election lawsuits? and more! Then we get to the main signature deep dive, and it's not a happy one. ***content note: this episode contains discussion of sexual assault.*** Some Jehovah's Witnesses church leaders emotionally abused a rape victim, who was a minor, and she very justifiably sued them. But the backwards-ass Mormon judges of Utah conveniently decided churches can do... whatever. While this is likely to be overturned by the Supreme Court, it also might damage Church-State Separation along the way.

The Lemon Test is the main proponent in religious monuments and symbols being torn down. While the American Legion case didn’t overrule the Lemon Test, the Justices expressed significant skepticism of it. Learn more at FirstLiberty.org/Briefing. Over the last few episodes, we have been making our way through First Liberty’s latest Supreme Court case, The American Legion v. AHA. Today, it’s all about Lemon. Of course, we’re not talking about citrus, but the test stemming from the court’s decision in Lemon v. Kurtzman from several decades ago. Lemonhas been the primary means by which opponents of religiously expressive monuments, symbols, and practices have torn down, erased, or ended them. But, thanks to The American Legion case, those days are over. In the words of a plurality of Justices, “Lemon ambitiously attempted to distill from the Court’s existing case law a test that would bring order and predictability to Establishment Clause decision making.” But it didn’t. So, the plurality expressed significant skepticism of the test, but stopped short of overruling it. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, concurring, evaluated all the ways the Lemontest has been applied, concluding that unless the state action is coercive, monuments and practices rooted in our history and tradition are just fine. Justice Neil Gorsuch called Lemon“a misadventure.” Justice Clarence Thomas, also concurring, agreed with the plurality’s thinking, but said, “I would take the logical next step and overrule the Lemon test in all contexts.” Bottom line for those who wish to attack religiously expressive monuments, symbols, or practices, they’re going to have to find another case. We’ll wrap up our evaluation of this case in our next episode. To learn how First Liberty is protecting religious liberty for all Americans, visit FirstLiberty.org.
This is Albert Mohler for Townhall.com. Among the decisions coming out of the Supreme Court this term was a big case on religious liberty. By a 7-2 margin, the court found that the memorial cross in Bladensburg, Maryland could remain. The 40-foot cross—now on public land—has honored the World War I dead for nearly a hundred years. It’s an enormous win. A very key take-away is what the court did with the “Lemon Test”—the test of the constitutionality of government involvement when it comes to religion. The problem with the Lemon Test—resulting from a 1971 case—is that it has always been subjective and often used in ways that are hostile to religious expression. In his concurring opinion, Justice Neil Gorsuch declared simply, “Lemon was a misadventure”—and a majority of the justices made clear that “the Lemon Test” is no more. That’s good news. And by a convincing 7-2 majority, the Supreme Court of the United States said that the Bladensburg cross, and thus other similar crosses and religious expressions, can stand. That, too, is very good news. I’m Albert Mohler.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Know and accept that you’re enough. Our guest for this week is Marisa Peer, a best-selling author, motivational speaker, a leading celebrity therapist and a pioneering hypnotherapist trainer.Marisa began her journey studying to become a child psychologist but has later built on her career by earning further qualifications at the institute from the Hypnosis Training Institute of Los Angeles and the Pritikin Longevity Centre. She possesses a deep insight into the world of nutrition as well and was introduced to it through her own personal struggles. Marisa herself had been battling with an eating disorder throughout the first 20 years of her life.Her title of a best-selling author came to be as a result of 4 remarkably successful books, on various subjects. From teaching you improve your life by reprogramming your brain, Marisa will help you establish healthier relationships with the food you eat, build and fortify your self-esteem and self-confidence, and even increase your fertility! The subject of her last book titled You Can Be Younger was a revolutionary approach to the age-old question of how to stay young. She elaborates on how positive thinking can lead to the arrest of the aging process, all made possible by the power of your subconscious mind.Marisa is also the UK’s leading motivational speaker, and over the years, her lectures and talks have become available all over the internet. She has held two Ted Talks, one on the topic of the gaining connection and avoiding rejection, and the other focusing on how training your mind can help you go beyond your perceived and constructed limits. Her YouTube channel also has a ton of free useful mini-courses you can explore and try out.Marisa’s renowned for her therapy work, with an astonishing list of clients that include many of the world’s finest international superstars, CEOs, Olympic athletes and even royalty! Aside from sharing her wonderful anecdotes, spot on analogies and profound wisdom, she will be giving us precious insight into her innovative process called Rapid Transformational Therapy, or RTT.A Case of a Modern Day Celebrity in Distress“I don’t do what other therapists do.” - Marisa PeerMany of Marisa’s clients are very popular celebrities and she was very kind to share details of a specific case involving an actor in time of mental crisis. He has refused to go to work, expressing symptoms and behavior Marisa immediately recognizes and shines a new light on the problems presented.“If I was a doctor giving you a diagnosis, here’s my diagnosis - you just don’t think you’re good enough do you?” - Marisa PeerThe first part of her process involves detective-like work, where she intends to quickly determine the root of the problem, usually dating to the period of early childhood. The second part is metaphorically compared to dentistry, as she is determined to pull out and remove all of the negativity clouding over her client.Her fast-paced approach to therapy has given her client the much needed mental clarity, a fresh definition of his problems and most importantly, a direct way of dealing with them. The self-conditioning and positive self-talk seek to imprint the mind with a simple, precise and a positive message - “I am enough”.At the end of the segment, she also reflects on a particular case in which her patient had a severe problem with alcohol. The main distinction Marisa made right off the bat was between the presenting and the underlying problem. While conventional therapy may suggest dealing with alcoholism as the key strategy, Marisa shifts focus to the underlying problem - the fact that her client has been perceiving himself as “unlovable”.“You can put someone like that in AA, you can detox them, but you’re detoxing the problem, and not what lies beneath.” - Marisa PeerThe Main Causes of Mental Health ProblemsWe are constantly hearing about many different mental health issues and disorders that we should be guarding ourselves against, but Marisa breaks them down into three basic concepts:I’m not enoughI’m differentWhat I want is not availableWe’ve gone through the first problem to some detail in the first part of our conversation, and some of his variations (eg. “I’m not lovable enough” or “I’m not wealthy enough”).The second issue is a matter of failing to fit in. Not being able to connect and avoid rejection, which are the fundamental needs we all need to fulfill in our everyday lives. The fear of being rejected often plays out as a self-fulfilling prophecy, leaving the person with a rationalization that they can not connect because they are different. The feeling that people troubled with this type of problem are left with is what is commonly referred to as depression.The last issue is the problem of not being able to have or acquire something that is desired. But in its core, wanting something that is not available, is a problem of having negative, destructive, unconscious beliefs that ultimately determine your life and prove to be self-fulfilling.“You make your beliefs, and then your beliefs make you.” - Marisa PeerThe Effects That Positive and Negative Self-talk Have on Your Mental Health“There’s nothing that will grow your self-esteem like praise, and nothing will diminish it like your own criticism.” - Marisa PeerThe self-dialogue is an essential tool that ultimately leads to change. Whether you decide to speak to yourself in a positive, optimistic way, or in a negative, pessimistic and at times fatalistic manner, your mind will react and adapt accordingly. Everyday conversations with ourselves leave a pattern in our subconscious, that inevitably affect the way we think and feel. These patterns are primarily imprinted in early childhood, and they determine our future character, personality and, ultimately, our behavior. The fear of rejection plays an enormous part in this process.“We don’t die from rejection but it still feels like we will.” - Marisa PeerMarisa demonstrates the power of self-dialogue and its effect on our mind through two very clever thought experiments. The Lemon Test, in which the listener is guided to visualize eating a lemon, which is inevitably followed by an increase in salivation.“Your mind doesn’t care if what you tell it is right or wrong, good or bad, healthy or unhealthy. It just lets it in.” - Marisa PeerThe other experiment explores the direct link between negative self-talk and our physical strength. When we say bad things to ourselves and think destructive thoughts we become weak. But it also works in the opposite direction. The better our thoughts are, the stronger we will feel.“Negative thoughts physically weaken your body.” - Marisa PeerWhat is RRT and How Does It Work?The main inspiration that has lead Marisa to develop Rapid Transformational Therapy came from a discrepancy between the fact that we live in a fast-track world, and that conventional therapy takes too long. RTT aims to determine the fundamental, underlying problem quickly, and resolve it within one or two therapy sessions. Using practical techniques based on hypnotherapy and self-dialogue, Marisa empowers her clients and gives them a practical way of rewiring their software and dealing with their issues.Finally, Marisa emphasizes the importance of recognizing when you’re in trouble, polluted by fears that can cause all sorts of rationalizations. It is crucial to find strength at that moment, be mindful and talk yourself out of it.“You’re allowed to make a mistake, you’re not allowed to beat yourself up and make yourself sick. Because you’re a human!” - Marisa PeerConnect with Marisa:Twitter: https://twitter.com/marisapeer?lang=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/marisa.peer.therapy/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/marisapeertherapy/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/user/MarisaPeer1Website:https://www.marisapeer.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
