Depression is too dark and heavy to face alone. So we're told to "reach out for help." But HOW? What words do we use, especially when we might not have the energy or the insight to articulate our struggle? And how the hell are we suppose to come up with effective language that honors we deserve help when depression convinces us no one cares, or that we're a burden. This 2-part podcast will tell you how! Our guest, Sam Dylan Finch, took the time to make a list of 10 Ways to Reach Out. In part two, we will explore the last five of them. Please listen AND share. It's potentially life-saving and certainly life-supporting information. Here is a link to Sam's article which you can print out as a reminder/resource: https://letsqueerthingsup.com/2018/03/03/10-ways-to-reach-out-when-youre-struggling-with-your-mental-health/

For the past two weeks we've explored ways to reach out for support if you are the one struggling. Today we shift gears. What if you know someone who seems really depressed--maybe even suicidal, and they're not reaching out. How do you reach IN? In the first of two episodes, our guest Sam Dylan Finch details ways people have shown up for him in helpful and meaningful ways. Not knowing what to do is not an excuse to do nothing. Sam's blog post with all 11 suggestions: https://letsqueerthingsup.com/2018/08/24/11-important-ways-my-loved-ones-supported-me-during-a-mental-health-crisis/ Links to two previous episodes with ways to reach out: 1) https://soundcloud.com/givingvoicetodepression/asking-for-help-is-not-always-intuitive-sam-dylan-finch 2) https://soundcloud.com/givingvoicetodepression/how-to-ask-for-the-help-you-need-pt-2-sam-dylan-finch

We learned “fight or flight”, then “freeze”. In this episode we explore “fawn”. Fight, Fight Freeze or Fawn. Our body's automatic defense mechanisms that activate when the primal mind (in particular the amygdala) senses danger. Fawning is the behavior most of us know as people pleasing. Seeing it as an automatic defense changes the way I looked at it and made me look at a number of things in a different way. I use a tweet string shared with me by a member of the Misfits, Wanderers and the Rest of Us Community. The author of the string is Sam Dylan Finch and the entire string is available here: The book mentioned in the Episode: Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving: A GUIDE AND MAP FOR RECOVERING FROM CHILDHOOD TRAUMA by Pete Walker Follow Rich on Social: Instagram Twitter Join the Community for Misfits, Wanderers, and the Rest of Us

How many times have you heard: "Reach out if you are struggling." But it's not as easy or clear as it sounds. How? What if you don't even know what you want or need? What if your depression has convinced you no one cares, that you don't deserve help, or that you are a bother to people? It can all sound straight forward and obvious from the outside, or from wellness. But in dark times, or hours of crisis, nothing is clear. An articulate, caring and experienced mental health advocate made a list of 10 Ways to "Reach Out" When You're Struggling With Your Mental Health. We discuss his sixth through tenth suggestions in this episode. Link to Sam's list: letsqueerthingsup.com/2018/03/03/10-…mental-health/ Link to Sam's blog: letsqueerthingsup.com/tag/mental-health/

How many times have you heard: "Reach out if you are struggling." But how? What should you say? When should you say it and to whom? It can all sound straight forward and obvious from the outside, or from wellness. But in dark times, or hours of crisis, nothing is clear. And with depression convincing you noone cares about or would want to help you, it's even more complicated. An articulate, caring and experienced mental health advocate made a list of 10 Ways to "Reach Out" When You're Struggling With Your Mental Health. We discuss his first 5 suggestions in this episode.

Most are familiar with the fight, flight, freeze responses to trauma, but fawn is often overlooked. On this episode of The Sacral Circle, host Janie Terrazas, shares how this passion project helped her to discover the fawning response, and how it subconsciously shaped her life. It was a total eye opener for her. "Suddenly, so much of my past was understood." She covers an insightful article written by Sam Dylan Finch, titled - 7 Subtle Signs Your Trauma Response is to FAWN. Some of the symptoms of fawning are people pleasing tendencies and co-dependency issues. If we want to heal and rise above our trauma, we must become self aware of how our body and mind react to it.

Coach MK and Coach Sarah livestream a weekly QA session for their runners on The Fitness Protection Facebook page and Twitch. Follow the page and join the fun!   MAINTAIN So I am not sure if this is more a podcast question or an ATC question or just random thoughts. But I am thinking a lot lately about being socialized not to take up mental, emotional, and physical space. I only did one year of organized sports as a kid and it was soccer. I was in 1st or 2nd grade and small, playing with boys one or two years older. And I had undiagnosed asthma. Oh and then I did a year of cross country in sixth grade (also small) and was SO slow that I came in dead last every practice and every meet. So far last that I almost missed the bus once. So you can imagine what that did to my self assessment of potential. This is not to ask for pity just to provide context. For the last three races I’ve signed up for I’ve backed out really early in the training. I am self sabotaging in the way that Sam Dylan Finch talks about fawning in relationships. The thought of “competing” is almost too much mental burden to comprehend. The thought of coming in last only reinforces the lessons learned from childhood. But I can’t believe the lesson here is, don’t compete. Don’t race. Don’t try. I just think I never really learned HOW to be aggressive/assertive/taking up space confidently in spaces outside of a precisely defined academic setting (because some of those carry this weight too). How does that urge to compete, urge to give myself permission to best someone else, the subverted or suppressed urge - how does it relate to the body conversation we are having? What are the right small steps to take to STOP trying to shrink physically, fit in emotionally, erase myself athletically while still running - I am 44 and I want to give myself permission to be really angry and fight on behalf of myself! In my head I think to compete I need to have perfect preparation to have a right to participate or any chance of “success” (also apparently personally undefined) - and I don’t think that’s right either. But I don’t have ANY idea how to start unpacking all of this besides obviously talking to my therapist about it, and I thought I’d come to my favorite coaches because I DO think it’s part of this larger conversation. Small steps are the key to get from sedentary to rockstar fitness. Small steps are the key to get from poor nutrition to nurturing yourself. What are the small steps to get from doubting a right to take up space in a race to pushing yourself hard and being badass?   I know we've beat summer running to death, but can you talk a little bit about shuffling/walking at whatever snail pace necessary to keep HR low vs. running at 150-155. What's better? Should we do whatever it takes to keep under 140 or is it better to get out there and get moving even if HR is higher than it should be because it's 90F at 5am and it's humid AF!   Starting the on-ramp in a week. Which means I have 11 weeks until my Marathon (insert minor freak out here, okay now I am better

Many who struggle with mental-health challenges wonder why people don't step up and support us. It may be partly because we don't share what we're going through (for many reasons.) It is also partly because we have not been taught HOW to be there for someone. What should we say? When should we say it? What's helpful? What's not? Our guest, Sam Dylan Finch, shares 11 ways his loved ones have supported him in mental health crises. They are proven, doable things that could really lighten someone's load, or even save a life. We detailed five ways in part one. This episodes explores the final six ways to suit up and show up for someone who is struggling. Please listen and share. The more we know the better we can support our loved ones. And the more they know, the better they can care for us. Complete list: https://letsqueerthingsup.com/2018/08/24/11-important-ways-my-loved-ones-supported-me-during-a-mental-health-crisis/ Link to Sam's How to Reach Out for Support episodes: https://soundcloud.com/givingvoicetodepression/how-to-reach-out-part-one-sam-dylan-finch and https://soundcloud.com/givingvoicetodepression/how-to-reach-out-part-two-sam-dylan-finch

We hear (and say) "reach out for help if you need it." But for many reasons, including stigma, awkwardness, and lack of training, many people -- even those in danger-- do not. So it's our responsibility to learn how to offer help to the people in our lives who may need it. Our guest, Sam Dylan Finch, shares 11 ways his loved ones have supported him in mental health crises. They are proven, doable things that could really lighten someone's load, or even save a life. We detail five ways in part one, and the final six next week in part two. Please listen and share. The more we know the better we can support our loved ones. And the more they know, the better they can care for us.
