Link to episode 1 in this series, on psychotic-level NPD: https://youtu.be/IoxUCbNUJUE Link to episode 2 in this series, on borderline-level NPD: https://youtu.be/Oz-C503q_9Y This is the third episode of a four-episode series describing the narcissistic personality style across different levels of severity. Due to the length of the material, this episode has been divided into three parts. This is part one. In this part, Dr. Ettensohn explores the developmental shift from borderline to neurotic-level personality organization, and how this shift transforms the inner life of individuals with narcissistic traits. Part one serves as a conceptual bridge—reviewing core ideas from earlier episodes while highlighting the emergence of psychological capacities that make neurotic-level functioning possible. These include the ability to maintain a continuous sense of self, to recognize others as enduring subjects, and to experience ambivalence, guilt, and loss without fragmentation. Through the lens of psychoanalytic developmental theory, Dr. Ettensohn illustrates how this shift brings with it new emotional burdens: the capacity to grieve, to feel remorse, and to live with an awareness of history. This part introduces the foundational concepts of subjectivity and historicity, which will be explored in greater depth in parts two and three. References: Kernberg, O. F. (1984).

In this episode, Dr. Ettensohn draws on psychodynamic dimensional models of personality development to describe narcissism and NPD at the borderline level. Characterized by identity diffusion, blurred boundaries, and disrupted internal experience, borderline personality organization represents an "in between" level where the perceptions of the self and others float in and out of clear focus. This episode reviews the important concepts of personality style vs. organization, helping the viewer to understand what a personality disorder actually is and why all personality disorders share common features. It discusses the developmental arrests thought to underlie borderline organization and describes common defense mechanisms that characterize this level of object relations. Borderline-level NPD is then discussed using these concepts. The episode concludes with a discussion of treatment. References: Berney, S., de Roten, Y., Beretta, V., Kramer, U., & Despland, J.-N.

I am aware of her original intent to describe that specific patient population. I also use the quote in the video to describe the emotional vulnerabilities that necessitate splitting. Although she was describing BPD specifically, I feel the quote also works for borderline organization in general. The intense emotional vulnerabilities and exposure to unprocessed experience reflect the absence of moderating internal capacities - "skin" so to speak.

In this episode, Dr. Ettensohn draws on psychodynamic dimensional models of personality development to describe narcissism and NPD at the psychotic level. Characterized by compromised reality testing, symbiotic object relations, low integration between parts of the self, and the use of reality-distorting defense mechanisms, psychotic-level NPD represents both the least developmentally mature and most severe form of the disorder. This episode explains the spectrum of personality development, from psychotic to healthy. It then explains the psychotic personality organization in detail, providing descriptions of specific defense mechanisms utilized at this level. Finally, psychotic-level NPD is described.

Psychotherapeutic competencies: Techniques, relationships, and epistemology in systemic practice. Taylor & Francis.Description of book:This book provides a clear and concise description of the multifaceted notion of psychotherapeutic competencies, building on years of research and training and informed by a systemic approach. Psychotherapeutic Competencies clearly describes methodological principles to guide both trainees and experienced therapists through the definition of four levels of systemic competencies and illustrates each principle with compelling clinical case material. The book emphasises the need for therapists to develop relational skills, which allow for the consolidation of a trusting relationship in which change can take place, as well as acquiring a set of methods and techniques. Psychotherapeutic Competencies encourages therapists of all levels of experience and therapeutic backgrounds to develop epistemological competency and to deepen their awareness of the extended contexts in which they operate and of the possible effects of their practice at a social and cultural level. This book will be essential reading for psychotherapists of all therapeutic backgrounds, in practice and in training, who wish to enhance their understanding of competency, context, and clinical skill. It will also be a key text for systemic and relational psychotherapists, trainers, trainees, clinical supervisors, and researchers.

APATA Managing Director Yolande Smith and pioneer specialist in the psychology of the performing artist Elma Linz Kanefield sit down to discuss performance potential, the theme of Kanefield's new book Hamlet's Mirror: Reaching Your Performance Potential Onstage and Off. With 40 years experience counselling performing arts students and artists Kanefield understands what makes performers tick. She has dedicated her life's practice to building better understanding around hard-wiring of the performer and just what it takes to definite your own version of success. "I want the performers with whom I work to gain a conscious awareness of the effect that both their psychological histories and their chosen life as artists have on who they are and how they perform in life, particularly on stage," Kanefield states in Hamlet's Mirror. "I trust them to find that voice within that moves them to fulfil their special performance potential and create a lifetime of sustainable, successful and authentic performances on and off stage." About Elma Elma Linz Kanefield, LCSW, CPC, succumbed to debilitating stage fright as a young performer which left her voice… silent. However, rather than remain devastated and at the effect of her fear, she transformed her fright into her life's calling and became a specialist in the psychology of the performing artist. So passionate was Elma about addressing the special personal and professional needs, challenges and possibilities of performing artists that she relocated in 1980 from the Midwest to New York City to open the only Psychotherapeutic private practice exclusive to performers. For the last four decades Elma has been healing and empowering artists at all ages and stages of their lives and careers. Hamlet's Mirror, Reaching Your Performance Potential Onstage and Off Hamlet's Mirror looks at the stories and experiences of hundreds of performing artists to explain what prevents some from reaching their performance potential and what empowers others to realise it. Kanefield introduces four Performer Personality Profiles: Problem-Ridden, Pugnacious, Promising and Potential-Realised. These personalities reveal and clarify how performing artists move through professional and personal challenges to become the best they can be as people and as performers. You are invited to hold Hamlet's mirror to see how the wisdom and insight that these performers gained can help you too reach your performance potential.

“In traditional, more formal therapy, most of us are taught in school, ‘It's a slippery slope to sexual abuse, don't touch your clients'…In psychedelic therapy, there's an understanding: touch can be beneficial…Deciding to not use an intervention based on your fear of litigation is not ethical.” Welcome to Integrating Psychedelics, featuring insights gleaned from psychedelic experiences and conversations around how to integrate this wisdom into our daily lives. I'm your host, Jenny Weinar, and in today's episode I'm speaking with Sabrina Santa Clara. Sabrina's early career began as a massage therapist, embodiment educator and yoga instructor focused on the interchange of soma, psyche and spirit. She received her Master's in Dance/Movement Therapy and Body Psychotherapy from Naropa University and has been a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist for over 15 years. Sabrina is currently the owner of the Center for Embodied Spirituality and the creator of Psychotherapeutic Touch™, a comprehensive certification training and criteria standard for the ethical and skilled use of touch in therapy. She has also designed the Self Psychedelic Integration Certification program which weaves together IFS, Psychedelic Harm Reduction Integration and other forms of expanded states of consciousness, creative and expressive arts and neoshamanistic ritual. As such, she provides training and consultation in Self Psychedelic Integration, Somatic Psychotherapy, Psychotherapeutic Touch, Embodied Meditation and Internal Family Systems Therapy. Additionally, Sabrina is bilingual (Spanish), culturally mixed, and genderfluid. She is an artist, poet, and dancer who lives in the in-between spaces. In this conversation we discuss: Sabrina's path to psychedelic assisted therapy through dance therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) The danger of the "magic pill" view of psychedelics and the need to assess the potential for harm How Sabrina assesses people's readiness for working with the medicines and prepares them for challenging experiences Why traditional psychotherapy often falls short Psychedelic integration as reconnection work How Internal Family Systems supports work with psychedelics The issue of touch in therapy and Sabrina's framework of Psychotherapeutic Touch™ The importance of consensual touch in healing Sabrina's vision for community healing …and more! You can connect with Sabrina on her website and Instagram. You can connect with me on Instagram, through my website and very occasional newsletter. In addition to providing Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in Philadelphia, I offer Psychedelic Integration Therapy to residents of Pennsylvania, Colorado and New Jersey.

I've really been looking forward to bringing you this episode! After these past few weeks of awesome interviews and amazing chats, this is an opportunity for you and I to just chat about logotherapy and mental wellness... It is human nature to want to label phenomena so that we can better understand it - the same is true with mental health issues or illnesses, but that doesn't always prove to be helpful. In this episode, we explore the nature of diagnosing mental illness, and pull back the curtain on the process of psychotherapy and, specifically, logotherapy.

Sabrina Santa Clara, LPC, R-DMT, CIFST, CPIT, RYT and I discuss the importance of training regarding touch in therapy. Touch can be so healing yet we receive little to no training on how to integrate physical touch in healthy and appropriate ways and how to document these interactions. Sabrina also discusses the healing power of Psychedelic Integration Therapy. Sabrina Santa Clara is a licensed Colorado Counselor and somatic psychotherapist, though she works internationally as an educator, trauma-informed transpersonal coach and spiritual midwife. She was a massage therapist for many years and earned her Master's in Somatic Counseling Psychology from the Buddhist-influenced Naropa University. The dearth of touch training in her program led her to design her course on the Ethics and Fundamentals of Psychotherapeutic Touch™, a comprehensive Certification training on the use of Touch in Therapy. Sabrina is also a psychedelic integration therapist and has designed a training in Self Psychedelic Integration™ which she will be offering for the first time in London this summer. Self Psychedelic Integration combines Internal Family Systems, Harm Reduction Psychedelic Integration, somatic psychology, Creative and Expressive Arts and neo-shamanistic ritual. While this training is helpful for both clinicians and psychedelic sitters, it is aimed at making integration tools available to the solitary medicine journeyer. Sabrina is kicker of boxes and breaker of meaningless rules, and a staunch advocate for adherence to rules rooted in sanity, care and high ethical standards. She is a bicultural, bilingual, gender-fluid, artist, poet and dancer who lives in the in-between spaces. She has an affinity for working with therapists and coaches, spiritual seekers, and people who experience themselves as “outside the norm.”OFFERS & HELPFUL LINKS:Sabrina's websiteFree E-book "16 Skill to Help You Calm Down: Moving from freaked-out to Chilled-out”Counseling Community TikTokJennifer Agee coaching pageCounseling Community Facebook communityCounseling Community InstagramAlaskan Cruise: Experiential Therapeutic Intervention Training for Therapists June 3-10, 2023Portugal Marketing Retreat October 2-7, 2023

Chandler started his entrepreneurial journey after graduating from the University of Nevada Reno with a degree in Biochemistry and forgoing a medical pathway to pursue a brick-and-mortar wellness facility. He then pivoted to an online health practice a year before the COVID lockdowns. After scaling both businesses to the 7-figure level and doing 3000-4000 sales consultations, Chandler was frustrated with the way sales were taught. He was tired of the old-school objection handling, aggressive tactics, and salesy attitude taught by most sales trainers. So, he looked back at what he was doing, combed through his notes, and created Compassion Conversations. A therapeutic-driven, psychological-based sales system centered around compassion and care. Chandler has taught over 3000 people his system of compassion Conversations and has the goal to change and redefine the landscape of sales altogether.

There are all sorts of reasons people seek out a psychedelic experience. For some, psychedelic-assisted therapy helps treat depression, some seek a deeply embodied therapeutic experience to traverse major trauma or grief, and some seek a little magic-an escape from the mundane of the day-to-day 9-5 grind. Whatever it may be, the depth of research and data proving the benefits of a well-integrated embodied psychedelic experience- is making the vision of psychedelic-assisted therapy becoming a recognised/available integrated form of healthcare a realistic vision for the near future. Today Mason chats with Tobias Penno, A government-funded psychedelic researcher and founder of ‘Psychedelic Healthcare'- a therapeutic service specialising in psychedelic integration work in Australia. Tobias talks about the benefits of psychedelic-assisted therapy and its capacity to open up the mind/body interface for deep therapeutic work and mystical experiences that can evolve consciousness. As with all journeys that crack open the psyche- The process of integration after any psychedelic experience (assisted or not) is an essential part of the journey. Tobias explains what integration after a psychedelic experience looks like when done well, the holistic self-work it takes to integrate meaningfully and embody the changes in your life, and how we can benefit from this type of therapy both on an individual and societal level. Mason and Tobias discuss the intersection of the Taoist herbs and a well-integrated psychedelic/plant medicine experience And how these majestic herbs and plant medicines can assist us on the journey towards becoming an evolved elder that embodies health and love in mind, body, spirit. "People come to psychedelics looking for this silver bullet, thinking it's going to suddenly change their life. I think it's important to slow that right down because they're not a silver bullet. They're not right for everyone. There are some people who probably don't need psychedelics- they're already so open, so connected already. They kind of already have an inner psychedelic state, either through other practices or just by nature of their personality. And for them, throwing psychedelics in the mix is probably just adding more chaos than they really need". - Tobias Penno Tobias and Mason discuss: -Ayahuasca. -Somatic work. -What is a Dieta? -Psychedelic integration. -Psychedelic healthcare. -Holotropic breath work. -Plant medicine journeys. -Psychedelic integration groups. -Relational dose psychedelic therapy. -Why psychedelics aren't for everyone. -Somatic mapping and psychotherapy. -Deeper psychotherapeutic types of work. -High-quality preparation before a psychedelic experience. -Psychedelics are great prep for good deep therapeutic work. -Personal and collective integration of a plant medicine journey. -What happens when there is no integration after psychedelics? Who Tobias Penno? Tobias Penno is a government-funded psychedelic researcher at the University of Western Australia (U.W.A.). His first academic publication titled 'How Ayahuasca Offers Psychosocial Wellbeing' won the social work research prize in the school of Medicine, Dentistry, and Health Science at U.W.A. in 2017. Tobias is the current chair of the Australian Psychedelic Society (WA Chapter) and his current doctoral research is titled 'Interpersonal Neurobiology in Psychedelic Healing'. Tobias is also the founder of ‘Psychedelic Healthcare', a therapeutic service specialising in psychedelic integration work in Australia. One day he hopes to provide psychedelic-assisted therapy within an integrated model of emotional healthcare practices.

— We are eternal beings. Regression may gift you with a new perspective on your current life as Vered gently guide you through your journey across multiple lifetimes. Every session is a build-up of the neural pathway connections leading to the awakening and raising of your consciousness. It seems that as the collective consciousness has shifted, so has the recalled experience of past lives. Therefore, in recent times more and more incredible journeys are being experienced. Quantum Physics informs us that we are multidimensional, metaphysical beings. Many people are becoming aware of a renewed sense of purpose, and consequently, wish to awaken others to the possibility of raising consciousness. Combined intention results in critical mass. When we change within, everything around us changes. Valeria Teles interviews Vered — She has been a Psychotherapist, Astrologer and Hypnotherapist for 22 years. Prior to that , she was a High School Teacher , Actor, Spanish /FrenchTranslator/Interpreter, Voice over artist, Linguist and Co- Director of a Company.

As such, she has currently done over 3,700 face-to-face sessions dealing with issues such as life direction ,purpose ,illness and healing ,abductions ,star origins and family relationships.

The inspiration is Love. The aspiration is to awaken new ways of thinking that can lead us to a new way of being, being well.
Later life can often be a time of many different losses, such as loss of friends or loved one, loss of physical functioning and/or health, loss of cognitive acuity, and loss of status. When clients have experienced several of these, it can present challenges to mental health professionals as to how to encourage improved mood and mental health, when interpersonal, physical, social, and financial resources are narrowed. This training will present several approaches within mental health interventions that can help older adults with mental illness who are facing challenges of aging and loss. Dr. Victor Frankl wrote about the importance of developing meaning in life, particularly when faced with seemingly overwhelming difficulties.
This training outlines different types of cognitive impairment often found among older adults. Given a common understanding that mental health services for persons with “dementia” or cognitive impairment cannot be billed for, the presenter will describe Medi-Cal regulations regarding insurance billing for mental health services for persons with cognitive impairment who also have a co-occurring mental illness. This presentation will describe common emotional and other internal experiences of persons with cognitive impairment. There will be a discussion of psychotherapeutic and other mental health interventions that have demonstrated effectiveness in helping older adults, including adjustments that can be made to interventions during a global pandemic.
Older adults exhibit psychotic symptoms for many different reasons. Treatment may require medical and psychiatric intervention, family support, linkages to community services, and more. The role of psychotherapy with older adults that experience psychosis has received little attention. This training will describe a psychotherapeutic approach to treating older adults with psychotic symptoms based on the literature and the presenter's clinical experience. The approach includes outreach to identify individuals in need of help; clinical engagement to develop a working relationship; linkage with needed services; and helping individuals reduce the link between triggers and psychotic symptoms. Differences between treating a person with delusional disorder versus schizophrenia will also be discussed.
FAUZIA, DamnShaq and counsellor Darlington Zvionere discuss performance anxiety and how to overcome it with Vanessa Maria. As part of Resident Advisor's wellness month, and in collaboration with Black Minds Matter, host Vanessa Maria discusses performance anxiety—what it is, how it manifests, how to overcome it—with FAUZIA, DamnShaq and Psychotherapeutic counsellor Darlington Zvionere. Support Black Minds Matter here: http://bit.ly/BMMRA In simple terms, performance anxiety is stage fright. As Zvionere explains, artists may experience everything from clammy hands to stiffness and blurred vision, which then impacts their performance. It's a vicious cycle, he says, as a falter in your performance will likely lead to increased nerves next time. "Be the best you can be in that moment," advises Zvionere. "Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow." In her own experience as a DJ, Maria has suffered from performance anxiety to the point of cancelling shows and relying on the influence of alcohol to calm her nerves. She speaks to DJ, promoter and presenter DamnShaq, known for his "madman" energy in the booth, about the pressure he used to put on himself. He reflects on how the pandemic has allowed him some time to reset and make peace with the fact that his boisterous stage character is not a sustainable way to function day-to-day. For FAUZIA, whose transition from DJing to having a live show has come with a huge increase in pre-performance anxiety, steadying her nerves is a work in progress. She speaks to Vanessa about fine-tuning her set, stepping away from social media and the confidence boost of working with Kelela.

They mention experiences outside of memory and the three types of unconscious memory along with the cognitive map model. They discuss emotion focused therapy, defining emotion, the social constructivist model, and many other topics. Richard D. Lane is a Professor of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience at the University of Arizona. He is a clinical psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and holds a PhD in Experimental Psychology. He is a renowned expert on emotion research and is the author of over 190 papers and book chapters.

I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor / Psychotherapist offering short (6 to 12 sessions) or long term therapy (24 sessions or more). I am also open to ad hoc sessions and therapeutic consultation depending on need and availability. I provide one to one therapy either face to face or via webcam as time or location may make it impractical to attend one of my practice locations. Counselling and psychotherapy can serve a multitude of needs, be it looking at specific issues in your life or working organically to reflect on how the past has influenced you to be the person you are today. This is done through the creation of a safe space where you can talk about anything and everything, without judgement, related to the problems that have arisen in your life by building a relationship based on respect, acceptance, trust and empathy."
Storytime I want to take you back, back in time to a hot June night in 1980 and tell you a story about that time. [cue sound effect] I'm 11 years old and I'm recovering from a third spinal surgery after two previous cervical fusions failed. I'm feeling terrible. I'm in a dark, cold hospital room in a university hospital, just out of post-op and back on the pediatric unit 104 miles from home, immobilized in a full body cast and halo brace, recovering from puking from the general anesthetic, afraid that this surgery failed like the other two. My confidence in surgeons is at a low ebb. The room smells of antiseptic and isolation. Back in those unenlightened days, visiting hours were really limited, so my parents aren't there. But I'm not alone. My sick toddler roommate is lying face down in his crib, sobbing inconsolably. No one comes for him. “Nothing can be done for him -- this will pass,” the professionals had told me when I pressed the call button for him. So I don't bother with the call button anymore. I can't think of anything to do for him either. I feel like he does. We're both miserable. I am in the darkest hour of my life to that point. I'm beginning to wonder if the rest of my life will be a series of horrible, painful, failed surgeries, nighttime isolation and helplessness. So what does little Petey Guy do at the point? My aunt Marlene always used to call me Petey Guy when I was that age. Petey Guy starts to sing. Yes, that's right, I start singing. Do you know what I was singing? Was the 1959 Julie Andrews version of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music? No it wasn't. The Beatles" 1969 classic "Here comes the Sun" by George Harrison? It was not. Was it the 1977 show tune "The Sun will Come out Tomorrow" from the musical Annie? Nope. Guess again. Gloria Gaynor's smash hit in 1977 "I will survive"? Wrong. "Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac, also in 1977? No. How about "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey -- that was it, right. Come on, people. "Don't Stop Believin" came out in 1981. We're in 1980. So chronologically, that wouldn't make sense. No, I was singing a different song, a darker song than any of those, a 1970 song with lyrics written by 14 year old Michael Altman, put to music by his father Robert Altman and sung by Johnny Mandel. A song written for the 1970 movie MASH. Some of you may be following this now. I was singing a song called Suicide is Painless. You're probably familiar with the tune. After the surprise success of the movie, Robert Altman chose it to be the instrumental opening for the hugely popular MASH comedy-drama series that ran on CBS from 1972 to 1983. So even though you know the tune, you might not be familiar with the gaunt, haunting, despairing lyrics. Here's the opening stanza: Through early morning fog I see Visions of the things to beThe pains that are withheld for meI realize and I can seeThat suicide is painlessIt brings on many changesAnd I can take or leave it if I please So a little backstory. My Grandpa Roberts had a magnus chord organ 1960's very popular, lots on the second hand market. Chords press a button with left hand, keyboard with the right. We had one too. Grandpa Roberts had a songbook of popular tune to play on the Magnus Chord Organ --- including Suicide is Painless I recognized the theme from MASH, and it was one of very few songs I learned to play on the Magnus Chord Organ, and I sang the lyrics as I played. But they didn't particularly resonate with me until that post-surgical night in 1980, in the dark, sick, and alone with the crying toddler when my 11 year old heart was so burdened and breaking. Nobody noticed my singing about suicide in the night -- my toddler roommate didn't seem to care. And it wasn't until almost 40 years later that I ever told anyone about it. Intro Welcome to the podcast Interior Integration for Catholics, thank you for being here with me. I no longer go by "Petey Guy," I am better known as clinical psychologist Peter Malinoski The reason this Interior Integration for Catholics podcasts exists is to help you toward loving God, neighbor and yourself in an ordered, healthy, holy way. -- It's about tolerating being loved, and about loving about living out the two great commandments to the hilt, with all of our being, it's about overcoming the natural obstacles to reaching more of our potential, both in the natural and the spiritual realms. Because we take on the tough topics in this podcast, today we are getting into the difficult and complex topic of suicide/ Suicide. Even the word can send shivers up the spine. This episode is titled IIC 76 The Black of Suicide -- What Do the Secular Experts Say? and it's released on July 12, 2021 Today we are looking at the best of current psychological and sociological research -- Episode 73. St. Augustine De Doctrina Christiana. Chapter 40 is a theological text on how to interpret and teach the Scriptures. Moreover, if those who are called philosophers, and especially the Platonists, have said anything that is true and in harmony with our faith, we are not only not to shrink from it, but to claim it for our own use. all branches of heathen learning have not only false and superstitious fancies and heavy burdens of unnecessary toil, which we ought to abhor and avoid; but they contain also liberal instruction which is better adapted to the use of the truth, and some most excellent precepts of morality; and some truths in regard even to the worship of the One God are found among them. Now these are, so to speak, their gold and silver, which they did not create themselves, but dug out of the mines of God's providence which are everywhere scattered abroad In future episode, we will bring in a lot more of the wisdom of the Catholic Church . And in future episodes, we will bring in more Internal Family Systems thinking about our parts and suicide, fascinating stuff there And in future episodes we will be discussing the impact of suicide on parents, spouses, siblings, children and friends who experienced suicide through the death of a loved one. So we are at the beginning of a series of episodes on suicide. This is a critical topic -- A 2017 Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of 1000 American Adults finds that 55% know someone who has committed suicide. One from my 8th grade graduating class One for two classes behind me in high school Let's do an etymological analysis of the word suicide -- you know how much I like to break down words on this podcast, so it's Time for Word Lore [cue sound effect] Where does the English word Suicide come from? "deliberate killing of oneself," 1650s, from Modern Latin suicidium "suicide," from Latin sui "of oneself" (genitive of se "self") + -cidium "a killing," from caedere "to slay" or to strike oneself. How serious is suicide? Lets look the research, let's look at suicide this by the numbers [cue sound effect] Fast Facts How many suicides worldwide each year? About 800,000. About 10 in 100,000 people die each year from suicide Worldwide, suicide accounts for 1.4% of all deaths. Wide range of suicide rates. 98.3 per 100,000 in Greenland, 1.56 per 100,000 in Jamaica. 63X higher. How many suicides in the US? Drawing from CDC and NIMH According to the Center for Disease Control in 2020 -- 44.834 recorded suicides 14.5 deaths per 100,000 population US Men more than 3X as likely as US women to suicide Women 1.4X likely as men to attempt suicide -- use less lethal means Long trend up from 1999 to 2017, leveled off and trending down over last three years. How do people suicide Just a hair over 50% use a firearm 29% are by suffocation 13% are by poisoning Catholics and suicide Data from over the last century consistently reveal that Catholics have a lower suicide rate than Protestants. Not a huge effect, but a persistent one, going all the way back to early social science measurement efforts in 1897 -- Emile Durkheim's work.. Even when controlling for a lot of variables, the denominational effect persisted. Various factors proposed Fear of Hell, mortal sin -- Protestants more accepting of suicide More communitarian approach than individualistic approach to religion and faith Types of Suicide Emile Durkheim -- French philosopher and early sociologist in the late 19 and early 20th Century -- principal architect, along with Max Weber of modern social sciences. He created a normative theory of suicide focusing on the conditions of group life. Proposing four different types of suicide, which include egoistic, altruistic, anomic, and fatalistic, Durkheim began his theory by plotting social regulation on the x-axis of his chart, and social integration on the y-axis. Drawing from a blog post on the Management Development Institute of Singapore website by Dr Amir Singh from March 30, 2020 Egoistic suicide corresponds to a low level of social integration. When one is not well integrated into a social group it can lead to a feeling that they have not made a difference in anyone's lives. when a man becomes socially isolated or feels that he has no place in the society he destroys himself. This is the suicide of self-centered person who lacks altruistic feelings and is usually cut off from main stream of the society. It is committed by individuals who are social outcast and see themselves as being alone or an outsider. These individuals are unable to find their own place in society and have problems adjusting to groups. They received little and no social care. Suicide is seen as a solution for them to free themselves from loneliness or excessive individuation. Altruistic suicide corresponds to too much social integration. This occurs when a group dominates the life of an individual to a degree where they feel meaningless to society. Altruistic suicide occurs when social group involvement is too high. Individuals are so well integrated into the group that they are willing to sacrifice their own life in order to fulfil some obligation for the group. Individuals kill themselves for the collective benefit of the group or for the cause that the group believes in. An example is someone who commits suicide for the sake of a religious or political cause, such as the infamous Japanese Kamikaze pilots of World War II, or the hijackers that crashed the airplanes into the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania in 2001. During World War II, Japanese Kamikaze pilots were willing to lay down their own lives for their countries in the hope that they will win the war. These pilots believed in their nation's cause and were willing to sacrifice their lives. Similarly, suicide bombers around the world were willing to give up their lives in order to make a political or religious statement because they firmly believed in their group's cause. Anomic suicide occurs when one has an insufficient amount of social regulation. This stems from the sociological term anomie, meaning a sense of aimlessness or despair that arises from the inability to reasonably expect life to be predictable. This type of suicide is due to certain breakdown of social equilibrium, such as, suicide after bankruptcy or after winning a lottery. In other words, anomic suicide takes place in a situation which has cropped up suddenly. Anomic suicide is caused by the lack of social regulation and it occurs during high levels of stress and frustration. Anomic suicide stems from sudden and unexpected changes in situations. For example, when individuals suffer extreme financial loss, the disappointment and stress that individuals face may drive them towards committing suicide as a means of escape. Fatalistic suicide results from too much social regulation. An example of this would be when one follows the same routine day after day. This leads to a belief that there is nothing good to look forward to. Durkheim suggested this was the most popular form of suicide for prisoners. This type of suicide is due to overregulation in society. Under the overregulation of a society, when a servant or slave commits suicide, when a barren woman commits suicide, it is the example of fatalistic suicide. Fatalistic suicide occurs when individuals are kept under tight regulation. These individuals are placed under extreme rules or high expectations are set upon them, which removes a person's sense of self or individuality. Slavery and persecution are examples of fatalistic suicide where individuals may feel that they are destined by fate to be in such conditions and choose suicide as the only means of escaping such conditions. In South Korea, celebrities are being put under strict regulations. There was a case where, a singer committed suicide due to exhaustion to keep up with society's rules and regulations. In 2017, celebrity Kim Jonghyun ended his life due to severe depression and the pressure of being in the spotlight as he felt that he could not fulfil the society's expectations of his performance (Lee, 2018). Inadvertent or accidental Suicide Example -- the Choking Game AKA Pass out challenge, flatlining, space monkey -- people strangle themselves to experience a euphoric high -- autoerotic asphyxiation. Discussed this briefly in Episode 69. Example -- drug overdose, heroine laced with fentanyl. Example -- Driving while impaired with alcohol Indirect Suicide -- not taking care of oneself -- poor health habits Smoking Poor diabetes management Risky driving Excessive alcohol or drug use Assisted Suicide -- also known as Mercy killing Risk Factors for Suicide Commonly cited risk factors VeryWell Mind By Nancy Schimelpfening reviewing recent research findings February 19, 2021 Mental Illness Most common -- severe depression -- blue deepening into black Bipolar disorder -- the orange Borderline Personality Disorder Eating Disorders Schizophrenia I have a very different understanding of what's going with these conditions. Traumatic Stress Substance Use and Impulsivity Loss or a fear of Loss Academic failure Being arrested or imprisoned Bullying, shaming, or humiliation, including cyberbullying Financial problems End of a close friendship or romantic relationship Job loss Loss of friends or family acceptance due to revealing your sexual orientation Loss of social status Hopelessness Chronic Pain or Medical Illness Feeling like a burden to others Social Isolation A Cry for Help -- not a cry for attention Accidental Suicide From Suicide Prevention Resource Center website Prior suicide attempt(s) Misuse and abuse of alcohol or other drugs Mental disorders, particularly depression and other mood disorders Access to lethal means Knowing someone who died by suicide, particularly a family member Social isolation Chronic disease and disability Lack of access to behavioral health care Precipitating factors are stressful events that can trigger a suicidal crisis in a vulnerable person. Examples include: End of a relationship or marriage Death of a loved one An arrest Serious financial problems Robin Hood investor Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) Office of Suicide Prevention -- Myths and Facts of Youth Suicide Sources National Mental Health Association Youth Suicide Prevention Education Program The Trevor Project MYTH: Talking about suicide or asking someone if they feel suicidal will encourage suicide attempts. FACT: Talking about suicide provides the opportunity for communication. Fears shared are more likely to diminish. The first step in encouraging a person with thoughts of suicide to live comes from talking about those feelings. A simple inquiry about whether or not the person is intending to end their life can start the conversation. However, talking about suicide should be carefully managed. MYTH: Young people who talk about suicide never attempt or die by suicide. FACT: Talking about suicide can be a plea for help and it can be a late sign in the progression towards a suicide attempt. Those who are most at risk will show other signs apart from talking about suicide. If you have concerns about a young person who talks about suicide: Encourage him/her to talk further and help them to find appropriate counseling assistance. Ask if the person are thinking about making a suicide attempt. Ask if the person has a plan. Think about the completeness of the plan and how dangerous it is. Do not trivialise plans that seem less complete or less dangerous. All suicidal intentions are serious and must be acknowledged as such. Encourage the young person to develop a personal safety plan. This can include time spent with others, check-in points with significant adults/ plans for the future. MYTH: A promise to keep a note unopened and unread should always be kept. FACT: Where the potential for harm, or actual harm, is disclosed then confidentiality cannot be maintained. A sealed note with the request for the note not to be opened is a very strong indicator that something is seriously amiss. A sealed note is a late sign in the progression towards suicide. MYTH: Suicide attempts or deaths happen without warning. FACT: The survivors of a suicide often say that the intention was hidden from them. It is more likely that the intention was just not recognized. These warning signs include: These are really important The recent suicide, or death by other means, of a friend or relative. Previous suicide attempts. Preoccupation with themes of death or expressing suicidal thoughts. Depression, conduct disorder and problems with adjustment such as substance abuse, particularly when two or more of these are present. Giving away prized possessions/ making a will or other final arrangements. Major changes in sleep patterns - too much or too little. Sudden and extreme changes in eating habits/ losing or gaining weight. Withdrawal from friends/ family or other major behavioral changes. Dropping out of group activities. Personality changes such as nervousness, outbursts of anger, impulsive or reckless behavior, or apathy about appearance or health. Frequent irritability or unexplained crying. Lingering expressions of unworthiness or failure. Lack of interest in the future. A sudden lifting of spirits, when there have been other indicators, may point to a decision to end the pain of life through suicide. MYTH: If a person attempts suicide and survives, they will never make a further attempt.FACT: A suicide attempt is regarded as an indicator of further attempts. It is likely that the level of danger will increase with each further suicide attempt. MYTH: Once a person is intent on suicide, there is no way of stopping them.FACT: Suicides can be prevented. People can be helped. Suicidal crises can be relatively short-lived. Immediate practical help such as staying with the person, encouraging them to talk and helping them build plans for the future, can avert the intention to attempt or die by suicide. Such immediate help is valuable at a time of crisis, but appropriate counseling will then be required. MYTH: People who threaten suicide are just seeking attention.FACT: All suicide attempts must be treated as though the person has the intent to die. Do not dismiss a suicide attempt as simply being an attention-gaining device. It is likely the young person has tried to gain attention and, therefore, this attention is needed. The attention they get may well save their lives. -- Thinking of it as calling out for help. Pejorative -- drama queen. MYTH: Suicide is hereditary.FACT: Although suicide can be over-represented in families, attempts are not genetically inherited. Members of families share the same emotional environment, and the death by suicide of one family member may well raise the awareness of suicide as an option for other family members. MYTH: Only certain types of people become suicidal. -- My exampleFACT: Everyone has the potential for suicide. The evidence shows disposing conditions may lead to either suicide attempts or deaths. It is unlikely those who do not have the predisposing conditions (for example, depression, conduct disorder, substance abuse, feeling of rejection, rage, emotional pain and anger) will die by suicide. MYTH: Suicide is painless. -- Remember the Song? FACT: Many suicide methods are very painful. Fictional portrayals of suicide do not usually include the reality of the pain. Maybe 14 year old Michael Altman wasn't entirely correct. MYTH: Depression and self-destructive behavior are rare in young people.FACT: Both forms of behavior are common in adolescents. Depression may manifest itself in ways which are different from its manifestation in adults but it is prevalent in children and adolescents. Self-destructive behavior is most likely to be shown for the first time in adolescence and its incidence is on the rise. MYTH: All young people with thoughts of suicide are depressed.FACT: While depression is a contributory factor in most suicides, it need not be present for a person to attempt or die by suicide. MYTH: Marked and sudden improvement in the mental state of an attempter following a suicidal crisis or depressive period signifies the suicide risk is over.FACT: The opposite may be true. In the three months following an attempt, a young person is at most risk of dying by suicide. The apparent lifting of the problems could mean the person has made a firm decision to die by suicide and feels better because of this decision. MYTH: Once a young person thinks about suicide, they will forever think about suicide.FACT: Most young people who are considering suicide will only be that way for a limited period of their lives. Given proper assistance and support, they will probably recover and continue to lead meaningful and happy lives unhindered by suicidal concerns. MYTH: Young persons thinking about suicide cannot help themselves.FACT: While contemplating suicide, young people may have a distorted perception of their actual life situation and what solutions are appropriate for them to take. However, with support and constructive assistance from caring and informed people around them, young people can gain full self-direction and self-management in their lives. MYTH: The only effective intervention for suicide comes from professional psychotherapists with extensive experience in the area.FACT: All people who interact with adolescents in crisis can help them by way of emotional support and encouragement. Psychotherapeutic interventions also rely heavily on family, and friends providing a network of support. MYTH: Most young people thinking about suicide never seek or ask for help with their problems.FACT: Evidence shows that they often tell their school peers of their thoughts and plans. Most adults with thoughts of suicide visit a medical doctor during the three months prior to killing themselves. Adolescents are more likely to 'ask' for help through non-verbal gestures than to express their situation verbally to others. MYTH: Young people thinking about suicide are always angry when someone intervenes and they will resent that person afterwards.FACT: While it is common for young people to be defensive and resist help at first, these behaviors are often barriers imposed to test how much people care and are prepared to help. For most adolescents considering suicide, it is a relief to have someone genuinely care about them and to be able to share the emotional burden of their plight with another person. When questioned some time later, the vast majority express gratitude for the intervention. MYTH: Break-ups in relationships happen so frequently, they do not cause suicide.FACT: Suicide can be precipitated by the loss of a relationship. MYTH: Young people thinking about suicide are insane or mentally ill.FACT: Although adolescents thinking about suicide are likely to be extremely unhappy and may be classified as having a mood disorder, such as depression, most are not legally insane. However, there are small numbers of individuals whose mental state meets psychiatric criteria for mental illness and who need psychiatric help. MYTH: Most suicides occur in winter months when the weather is poor.FACT: Seasonal variation data are essentially based on adult suicides, with limited adolescent data available. However, it seems adolescent suicidal behavior is most common during the spring and early summer months. MYTH: Suicide is much more common in young people from higher (or lower) socioeconomic status (SES) areas.FACT: The causes of suicidal behavior cut across SES boundaries. While the literature in the area is incomplete, there is no definitive link between SES and suicide. This does not preclude localized tendencies nor trends in a population during a certain period of time. MYTH: Some people are always suicidal.FACT: Nobody is suicidal at all times. The risk of suicide for any individual varies across time, as circumstances change. This is why it is important for regular assessments of the level of risk in individuals who are 'at risk'. MYTH: Every death is preventable.FACT: No matter how well intentioned, alert and diligent people's efforts may be, there is no way of preventing all suicides from occurring. MYTH: The main problem with preventive efforts is trying to implement strategies in an extremely grey area.FACT: The problem is that we lack a complete understanding of youth suicide and know more about what is not known than what is fact. Going deeper: The reaction trio -- these do not just spring up spontaneously-- in the middle of a causal chain. Recognize their impact -- but also see what causes them. Despair -- failure of hope This is an effect and a cause -- what caused the despair Desperation -- Rage -- rage is a reaction -- can lead to Seeking to Punish God Seeking to punish others Other Reason -- these are the core reasons. Attachment needs not met -- Episode 62 A felt sense of safety and protection, deep sense of security felt in the bones Feeling seen and known heard and understood -- felt attunement Felt comfort, reassurance Feeling valued, delighted in, cherished by the attachment figure Felt support for the best self Integrity Needs not met All of the above. Each one of us needs help to develop our sense of self, our identity I exist my existence is separate from others -- I exist in my own right, a separate personIs bounded, has boundaries My identity is stable over time and across different situations -- there is a continuity I can regulate myself -- I have some self-control. Is integrated -- coherent interconnections inside between aspects of experience -- self-cohesion Is active, with agency, can effectively function in the world Is morally good -- ontologically or essentially good and thus has intrinsic value and worth, apart from others' opinions. I can make sense of my experience and the world around me Mission and Purpose in life We also need to make good choices -- seek what is good, true and beautiful in life Suicide Prevention Current secular "wisdom" and teaching on the topic Protective factors are personal or environmental characteristics that help protect people from suicide VeryWell mind article By Nancy Schimelpfening reviewing recent research findings February 19, 2021 Effective behavioral health care Connectedness to individuals, family, community, and social institutions Life skills (including problem solving skills and coping skills, ability to adapt to change) Self-esteem and a sense of purpose or meaning in life Cultural, religious, or personal beliefs that discourage suicide Here's what I think: Let's start way back in the causal chain. Attachment needs met -- see episode 62 Unmet Attachment Needs and Unmet Integrity Need Integrity Needs Met Future focus We really looked at the secular literature in this episode In the next episode -- looking at the juncture of the psychological and the spiritual What does the wisdom of the Catholic Church say about suicide. How does that fit with what the secular experts are saying And what's really exciting we will get into suicide from a parts perspective. The role of exiled parts in suicide, the role of firefighter parts, the role of manager parts. Seeing in more dimension. Most of the conceptualizations we discussed today assume a homogenous personality. One personality. We will also get into Others' Experience of Suicide -- parents, spouses, friends. Intense reactions Came from the blue Very understandable -- especially with the impulsive kind. Pain, shame guilt It was my fault Really natural -- we have parts that want to hold on to the fantasy that we can make everything ok if we just always do the right thing Jesus could not prevent Judas' suicide without violating his free will.

Why do we as a society find it so hard to be compassionate towards people with addictions? Why do we as individuals struggle to see addiction as a #mentalhealth issue and rather believe the media hype and demonisation of our fellow humans? Why are we still opting for imprisonment rather than empathy and treatment, when we know historically the war on drugs is failing and has failed? During #mentalhealthawarenessweek2021, with our co-host Emma Kate Ross from Seas the Mind, our resident Mental Health First Aid instructor and Maud Ray, Psychotherapeutic therapist, to discuss the conversations and contradictions around mental health and addiction, our misunderstandings of the topic and what can be done better on an individual and societal level. #KellysCause #SeasTheMind #addictionawareness #Yachting #Boating #MentalHealth #SuicideAwareness #Yachties #YachtieWorld #Yachts #Boats #YachtingLife #MentalHealthAwareness #DepressionSupport #MentalHealthMatters #YachtCrew #Superyachts #Megayachts #MentalHealthAdvocate #yachtLife #MHAW #fightformh

In this episode, Philip Lance interviews Jack Drescher, a psychoanalyst and psychiatrist who is an expert in psychotherapy with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender patients. The interview focuses on a recently published series articles about LGBT mental health in an online journal of the American Psychiatric Association. The LGBT population group is heterogeneous, meaning that differences among the members of this group are as important as the similarities. In many ways, psychotherapy for this group does not differ from psychotherapy for heterosexual, gender conforming, and cisgender patients, however, concepts and considerations that arise in psychotherapy with LGBT patients can parallel issues that arise in psychotherapy with patients of other stigmatized minority groups. In this interview, the author discusses the concept of minority stress and its relationship with mental health conditions and reviews specific issues that may arise, including being in the closet, coming out of the closet, the psychotherapeutic search for “causes” of sexual orientation and gender identity, and therapist self-disclosure.

The protagonist of the story Flynnagin E. Montgomery exhibits some symptoms of schizophrenia and this rendered me to shed more light on the situation we have in Malta. Schizophrenia is a psychiatric illness and it's one where medication is absolutely fundamental because without it, a state of psychosis could easily manifest.Oriental religions like Buddhism, Hinduism and Daoism could be of aid to our Western society. Their religion resembles a lot of the psychotherapeutic methods that are employed this day and age and living with their mindset is only appropriate to flourish as an individual and give your utmost contribution to society.

Aging is a physiological process accompanied by cognitive decline, principally in memory and executive functions. Alterations in the connectivity of the default mode network (DMN) have been found to participate in cognitive decline, as well as in several neurocognitive disorders. The DMN has antisynchronic activity with attentional networks (task-positive networks (TPN)), which are critical to executive function and memory. Findings pointing to the regulation of the DMN via activation of TPN suggest that it can be used as a strategy for neuroprotection. Meditation is a noninvasive and nonpharmacological technique proven to increase meta-awareness, a cognitive ability which involves the control of both networks. In this review, we discuss the possibility of facilitating healthy aging through the regulation of networks through meditation. We propose that by practicing specific types of meditation, cognitive decline could be slowed, promoting a healthy lifestyle, which may enhance the quality of life for the elderly.

Over 40 million people suffer from anxiety in the United States. Anxiety is when your body prepares to go into fight or flight in the face of perceived danger. Living with chronic anxiety can become debilitating, creeping into all the aspects of your life and leaving you unable to cope with daily activities. Substance abuse is twice as likely to be exhibited in a person dealing with anxiety. That is, self-medicating to lower their anxiety and have a moment of calm and peace. This reprieve is short lived unfortunately. The anxiety increases as the addiction sets in. When the drugs or alcohol wear off, the symptoms or anxiety return and they bring with them the symptoms of withdrawal from the drugs or alcohol as well. This only exacerbates the problem and creates another set of issues for individuals with anxiety. Psychotherapeutic techniques can help you manage your anxiety and help you maintain a life with sobriety. Here are some ways you can reduce anxiety in your life.Begin by going outside and getting some sunshine and exercise. It doesn’t matter if this is only for a few minutes. Start small and build yourself up. Exercise, in general, helps mediate your anxiety symptoms. Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night.Take a moment out of your day to do some deep breathing techniques. They help calm your levels of anxiety. Work on not being as critical and negative. Our levels of anxiety are directly related to how we interpret the world around us and how well we think we can manage them. Just changing how we frame things makes a world of difference. Find a good treatment center or therapist. Finding a good support system is very helpful in dealing with addiction.Educate yourself on what anxiety is. Anxiety with treatment does get better. With some training and tools you too can be living the life you deserve to live. air date: 11/11-16

You didn’t see it coming, What? What! One day, you are intensely in love. You’re cuddling on the couch, reading love poems, feeding each other strawberries and playing with ‘whip cream’. Love between two people is the most dangerous of adventures and the most beautiful. To be loved can be the greatest of compliments and the greatest of burdens. "How could you have missed the signs?" Breaking up is never easy. Your ego and heart are bound to get injured. But, what if you could just see the breakup coming; it might make the whole relationship ‘thang’ easier to stomach. While hindsight is 20/20, there are always warning signals along the way. If you're alone right now, there's a healthier way of thinking that will better prepare you to make fulfilling romantic choices. DrBev, Emotion-R-Us, Psychotherapeutic radio talk show is here to assist you as you gain insight, define goals, and plan actions to achieve effective solutions to satisfying, healthy relationships with “self” and “others”. Learn how to turn everything in your favor when you seize the emotional initiative and take control of your life. What? Didn't they tell you love, passion and relationships are part of the human life condition. ACT LIKE YOU KNOW. HOLLA’ WHAT!!! Are you settling for the wrong person just because it's the right time; hoping to change someone into what you want them to be; not having the foresight to choose someone who can grow and change alongside you; wishfully believing that some magical, transformational person is waiting around the corner to whisk you to your exciting new life. The list is endless and at its core is the need to find someone -- anyone -- to be with, at least until someone better comes along. Emotions can weaken and strengthen our reasoning!!! Not all relationships have to be permanent to be worthwhile. The mission of today’s show is to save you time, pain, and suffering.

Learn how to turn everything in your favor when you seize the emotional initiative and take control of your life. What? Didn't they tell you love, passion and relationships are part of the human life condition. ACT LIKE YOU KNOW. HOLLA’ WHAT!!! Are you settling for the wrong person just because it's the right time; hoping to change someone into what you want them to be; not having the foresight to choose someone who can grow and change alongside you; wishfully believing that some magical, transformational person is waiting around the corner to whisk you to your exciting new life. The list is endless and at its core is the need to find someone -- anyone -- to be with, at least until someone better comes along. Emotions can weaken and strengthen our reasoning!!! Not all relationships have to be permanent to be worthwhile. The mission of today’s show is to save you time, pain, and suffering.
