Podcasts about scary thoughts

On Ron's Amazing Stories the month of the spooky begins with a terrifying slate of tales. The thought of the day is "scary," and we'll start with that. Next comes a review of a new audiobook, Autumn Nights: 13 Spooky Fall Reads. Then we have a true story from George Garza about his encounter with 18-year-old James on Tombstone Pass.  Our featured story is cited as being one of the most terrifying programs broadcast during The Golden Age Of Radio. It is a suspenseful story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. We end the show with a series of short fictional stories sent in by our listeners. These stories are about lost towns, night lights, closets, and hauntings.  These are just a few of the spooky stories that you will hear on Ron's Amazing Stories this month, so tune in and prepare to be scared.  Featured Story - House in Cypress Canyon Our featured story is consistently cited as one of the most terrifying programs broadcast during The Golden Age Of Radio. It is an episode from the series Suspense. The plot is presented as a "story within a story", framed by a meeting between detective Sam Spade (played by Howard Duff) and his friend who has discovered a manuscript that tells a story that is…well… amazing. It is titled The House in Cypress Canyon and was originally broadcast December 5, 1946. Program Note: Want to hear the RAS episode where Ron talks to Jim Harold about The House in Cypress Canyon. .

You are responsible for your actions, and you can take responsibility of your thoughts, but I don't believe that we are always the conscious creators of our thoughts. While intrusive thoughts can be serious in the sense that they are communicating you have needs desperate to be met and may need more sleep and/or support, I don't believe that a scary thought makes you a bad person.

In today's episode, Gina discusses the tendency of the anxious mind to present individuals with terrifying "what if's". By so doing the anxious mind works itself up further and drives the body into fearful overdrive. In addition to deflating many of the most common "what if's", a unique solution is offered: present the mind with benevolent "what if" thoughts instead. A number of example positive "what if's" are included. Listen in and take advantage of this knowledge today!

We understand that if you've been feeling anxious or stressed for a while, these anxious thoughts may resonate with you. In the midst of chaos, as Sun Tzu wisely said, there is also opportunity. Remembering this, we invite you to consider the potential for opportunity within your "what if" thoughts. We explore common "what if" scenarios, such as the fear of a fast heart rate leading to death or the worry of not being liked in social situations and job interviews. We address concerns about breathing, reassuring you that your body will take care of you even if your breathing feels off. Additionally, we tackle the fear of having a panic attack and nobody coming to your aid, emphasizing the significance of finding evidence to challenge these anxious thoughts. Throughout, we aim to provide understanding, reassurance, and practical strategies for managing these anxious "what if" thoughts. Moving on, we discuss the idea of self-care and finding comfort in our own company. Mindfulness and meditation are suggested as effective practices for spending time with our own minds, as with growth and evolution, the need for outer reassurance and dependence on others diminishes. We address common fears, like the fear of death, being unable to find help, or being trapped in a confined space, offering practical solutions and personal anecdotes. It's important to not let these thoughts dictate our lives and respond to them with humor. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Andy Weir's novel The Martian (2011) is top-shelf hard sci-fi for nerds who love space and MacGyver situations. Just four years after (official) publication, Ridley Scott made a film version starring (South Park voice) Matt Dayyyyyymon. Both versions of the story are fast paced and fun. They aren't exactly horror, but survival stories are often horrific. And this one has a touch of terror and a dash of body horror to make it on the show. We get into how artists and engineers see the world differently, the promises and pitfalls of space travel, and wave our fists at the state of science.

The Craft (1996) is a beloved teen witch movie that helped define the 90s mall goth experience. It also made supporting actress Fairuza Balk a bit of an icon for the heavy eyeshadow crowd. Does this movie still hold up? Blessed be, yes! Other than a lame soundtrack, this is a fun movie with memorable scenes and decent actors.  We talk about what it was like to be a neophyte goth in New Orleans during the late 1900s, witchcraft as a thing that's cool and corny, and the role of life coaches/therapists/Tarot readers in the modern world. Veteran listeners may notice a slight uptick in incoherence from one of the hosts as the episode unfurls its dark wings. It's the curse of edibles. If it all made sense, good job opening your third eye.

On today's episode of the "Helping Families Be Happy" podcast, Christopher Robbins, co-founder of Familius Publishing, husband, father of nine, author, fisherman, backpacker, and aspirational musician based in the Central Valley of California is going to talk to Karen Kleiman. She is a well-known international maternal mental health expert with over 35 years of experience. As an advocate and author of several groundbreaking books on postpartum depression and anxiety, her work has been featured on the internet and within the mental health community. Episode Highlights: 00:49: For decades in 1980, Karen founded the Postpartum Stress Center. A treatment and training facility for prenatal and postpartum depression and anxiety in 2022, she founded the Care and Climate Training Center LLC, which is dedicated to the advancement of clinical expertise and therapeutic strategies for the treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. 02:23: Christopher shares his story and how he learned from his wife that after the birth of one of his children, she went in a deep depression. 04:59: Karen met two women who told stories of not feeling good after they had had their baby some 50 years prior and not telling anybody and sitting alone in the darkness with their shame, pain, sadness, and grief. 06:17: Karen highlights how people are now talking about postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum psychosis. 07:06: Karen shares how can we help our closest family members. 08:04: There are normal hormonal changes and sleep deprivation and all few other things that contribute to a mom's moodiness. 09:26: Karen talks about the speech bubble of new moms where she communicates, that she hasn't slept for two days. She hasn't had a shower. 11:10: Karen talks about the hashtag that they had started. It's hard to be vulnerable when you are a new mom. It's hard to say out loud when you are taking care of an infant. 13:00: What's guiding a new mom's responses are not just the relationship or the cultural expectations. What's guiding this is your own expectations and that often gets in the way no matter what you say she wants to be a good mom. 16:18: Karen talks about the disconnect when super wonderful, attentive husbands are not able to quite get there with their wives. 17:28: For a new mom. don't try to fix anything, just be there and by doing that it helps. 19:23: All new moms cry, but what we want to pay attention to, for example, is how much are you crying? How many times during the day are you crying? 20:11: If postpartum depression symptoms are interfering with your ability to get through the day, then you need more support, says Karen.   22:49: It's ok to not feel good and be a great mom and good moms do have scary thoughts, and we aren't worried about the scary thoughts. 3 Key Highlights Karen explains how it is that women are suffering, not discussing about it and pretending to be, ok? Karen explains how the word postpartum depression means different things to different people, but it's a real thing. Karen explains how the hardest thing about the feelings associated with postpartum depression is that they don't feel like symptoms. Tweetable Quotes "I felt very sad to know that my wife had been struggling with depression after one of our children because I never knew." – Christopher "I hope we are creating safe places for women who learn to go to places where they will be heard and safe." - Karen "We don't want moms to have to diagnose themselves, but we do want to call attention to the fact that there are people who could help her figure out if what she's feeling is ok or not." - Karen "What postpartum women will tell you is it's just not that simple to say I need help." - Karen "I heard someone say to me once they say whenever you meet someone, imagine that it when meet people imagine that at least 50% of them have something really difficult going on their life is that and that estimate is probably really low." - Karen   Resources Mentioned Helping Families Be Happy Podcast Apple Karen: Website Podcast Editing

We continue in the month of May, Mental Health Awareness Month! We always need more awareness and advocacy for mental health in general, but for far too long, maternal mental health has been underrecognized and underdiagnosed. So many people have suffered without good resources and the proper support in place. Today's guest has vast experience with perinatal mental health, and it allows her to see the long view of how far we've come and how far we still need to go. Join us to learn more! Karen Kleiman is a well-known international maternal mental health expert with over 35 years of experience in the field. She is a strong advocate and the author of several groundbreaking books on postpartum depression and anxiety. Her work has been featured online and in the mental health community for decades. In 1998, Karen founded The Postpartum Stress Center, and in 2022, she founded The Karen Kleiman Training Center, which is dedicated to the advancement of clinical expertise and therapeutic strategies for the treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. All of her advanced trainings are heavily influenced by The Art of Holding Perinatal in Distress™ model of intervention, created by Karen. In this conversation, we take a close look at intrusive thoughts and identify those that are normal and those that need an increased level of intervention. Karen's latest book is Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts: A Healing Guide to the Secret Fears of New Mothers. Her other books include The Postpartum Partner, What About Us?, This Isn't What I Expected, The Art of Holding in Therapy, and Dropping the Baby and Other Scary Thoughts.   Show Highlights: Why Karen writes books as a unique avenue to empower moms How the pandemic doubled and tripled exponentially the anxiety and fears for new moms How the “scary thought” range can vary from mild to very awful–and they don't always come with thoughts of hurting your baby or yourself Why postpartum depression doesn't always feel like symptoms–but like the mom is broken How to know if scary thoughts are “too scary” by measuring a mom's distress: How much is it interfering with her ability to get through the day? How much is it interfering with who she is and how she functions? How women are built to function well with very high levels of distress Why Karen hopes her book can help moms ask for help when they need it What the statistics show around intrusive thoughts about harm to a mother's baby How every new mom experiences some obsessions and compulsions around their baby's safety Why the core of Karen's work has become holding space for the authentic suffering of moms when they think they are “fine” Why relationship problems have to be addressed along with postpartum depression and anxiety Why connection to a partner is the #1 most important way to help a suffering mom Resources: Connect with Karen: Website, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Book: Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts, and LinkedIn Check out Karen Kleiman's other books: Website and Amazon Visit www.postpartum.net for resources and support!  Visit www.postpartum.net/professionals/certificate-trainings/ for information on the grief course.   Visit my website, www.wellmindperinatal.com, for more information, resources, and courses you can take today!

Nick “The Tooth” Gullo is a 2x IBJJF Jiu Jitsu Black Belt world champion, co-host of the Infinite Worlds podcast, a writer, lawyer, world traveler, TV Star—and most importantly for this NYE resolution conversation, is absolutely shredded in his 50s. He joins us for the second time to discuss discipline, keto dieting, being kind to yourself, internet hucksters (Liver King, etc.), toxic masculinity, toxic acceptance, male energy, self-help cults, goal setting, and a lot more. This episode doesn't have any horror movie content, but you'll like it if you enjoyed the previous Self Help for Nihilists episodes.

Halloween Ends (2022) is Blumhouse's last shot at making that Michael Meyers money. But rather than do more of what sort of works, they introduce us to the saddest sack character ever and focus the film on his dating life, which is sort of an interesting choice for this insufferable franchise. We don't love it. But Marc doesn't hate it as much, which makes for some high-value conversation. We also talk about A Star is Born, Dirty Harry, Tarantino's new book, and what our Halloween sequels might look like (they're bangers).

Our first DOUBLE FEATURE episode covers Jack Hill's Spider Baby (1967) and Rob Zombie's The Munsters (2022). Why these films together? Well, the straightforward answer is that we watched them the same week—and Sid Haig. But we do weave some viable thematic and cultural webs between the two. We cover incest, cannibalism, Kanye, why secondary writing is terrible, what we've been doing wrong, the DSM-5, first deaths, and quite a bit more. This is a sprawling, classic Scary Thoughts episode and one of our best in months. It turns out weed actually does enhance some performances.

Drag legend and horror icon Peaches Christ (Joshua Grannell) is back for a fourth episode. This time we're exploring the spooky secrets of Terror Vault, a fully immersive haunted theatrical experience that takes audiences on a terrifying journey within the dank, rat-infested walls of the old San Francisco Mint. If you're into haunts, you're going to love this episode. We talk about the origins of Peaches' interest in horror performance, the technical details of running the show, how the piece is written and designed, unethical vampires, and about a million other details that will appeal to the dark nerds who listen to us.

Dan Trachtenberg's 2022 Predator offering, Prey, is one of the better films in the franchise. If you're a truly misguided soul, (like Marc) it might even be your favorite. We talked about what it did well and what could've been better. Before getting to the choppa, we start with a little bit about where Marc's academic journey is taking him.

We're back with yet another episode about a film that fits squarely into the surprisingly extensive dystopian/post-apacolyptic game-show subgenre: 1987's mega hit The Running Man. For this round, Chad Lott and Marc Kate from Scary Thoughts join us to chat about Arnold's epically stilted line readings, the eternal humor of nut shots, deepfake technology, the artistic versatility of a well-timed one-liner, Paula Abdul supremacy, TV personality Richard Dawson's rousing villainy, iconic mustard-hued tracksuit fashion, arrantly misogynistic motifs in 80's action cinema, video game tropes in movies, the apathetic endgame of pervasive disinformation, and whether a piece of mainstream entertainment can ever successfully critique the spectacle of media without appearing hypocritically complicit. It's a rollicking good time! Enjoy!

Karyn Kusama's 2009 film Jennifer's Body, is finding an audience thanks to a mix of #metoo reckoning, queer analysis, oughts nostalgia, and pubic fascination with Megan Fox's hematophagic pairing with male scream queen Machine Gun Kelly. This film hasn't aged well, but our age is treating it well. We discuss whether that old-time patriarchy or a messy script with boring kills led to the initial cold reception of the film.

The second half of Stranger Things 4 was fun. Even Argyle and Lucas managed to have great moments. In this episode we talk about why this season won us over, how drugs help with the enjoyment of art, whether or not there are epochs (and if music in the 80s was one), and whether or not it makes sense to have naked heavy metal girls on a character's wall if it upsets modern sensibilities.

In this episode, I meet with Jenn Holmes, a mom who struggled with anxiety that turned into intrusive, unwanted thoughts once she had her baby. In this episode, we discuss... - her experience with anxiety in general - how her intrusive thoughts started during the first few days of being a mom - her difficulty finding the right support and mental health treatment - the importance of learning about postpartum OCD as a new mom and parent This podcast should not be substituted, nor is meant to act as a substitute, for legitimate mental health treatment/a legitimate mental health treatment provider.

We started our show talking about the first season of Stranger Things, so we are compelled to continue. Thankfully for everyone, the end is nigh. But as Marc is fond of saying, “Don't let our yuck interfere with your yum.” There's still a lot to like about the show, even if it is circling the drain of mediocrity on its way to the septic tank of nostalgia. Our next episode covers the finale.

Completing the circle of talking with the “Scary Thoughts” hosts is Marc Kate. Marc helps the boys break down the beauty of outsider art, talks about why kids shouldn't listen to their parents' music and explains how he fell out of love with Stranger Things.

The Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead 2 (1987) are both unimpeachable classics of horror comedy. After our longest hiatus, we delve into the cult lore of these films and their influence on horror. This episode isn't exactly philosophical, but it's a fun one, especially if you grew up with Sam Raimi's madcap brand of cabin-based mayhem. And for the first time–no major spoilers!

We started Scary Thoughts back in 2016. The years since have been–eventful. This episode rambles hard as we attempt to answer the question, “what have we learned?” Think of it as a director's commentary. We talk about what we thought the show would be, where it's going, our friendship, horror podcasting as a phenomenon, being rooted in the Bay Area, and we tell a bunch of bar stories, which people always seem to like. Thanks for listening.

We touch on so many different really important points that I think everyone will take something from this episode. Highlights:4:30 - Sascha's birth story13:23 - The Baby Blues16:50 - Postpartum Anxiety18:58 - Baby's sleep19:55 - The impact of social media on perinatal mental health23:16 - Transition back to work after maternity leave25:52 - Intrusive thoughts28:50 - Reaching out for help, connecting to supports34:40 - Connecting to our values39:11 - Recovery40:20 - Coping Skills47:27 - Grief49:43 - Baby's 1st birthday54:45 - Experience of having a baby in a pandemic59:19 - Transitioning to daycare in a pandemic1:03:17 - What would you tell yourself in that difficult time?1:04:53 - What supports do we need to help new parents?Resources: Book: Good Moms have Scary Thoughts by Karen Kleiman You can find information about the Peer Mentor program at Postpartum International at https://www.postpartum.net/get-help/peer-mentor-program/You can find us at www.perinatalwellbeing.ca on Instagram @perinatalwellbeing_ontario or by email info@perinatalwellbeing.ca

Don't Look Up came out on Netflix just in time to brighten everyone's 2021 holidays. The director, Adam McKay, is one of the most successful comedy directors ever, but this movie isn't exactly a winner, even if it does have a ton of actors we love. In an episode almost as long as this too-long film, we discuss the few things we liked—and spend most of the episode deriding it. We veer into slightly spicy territory on this one. Does politics ruin comedy? Does anyone like Joe Biden? Can the news be trusted?

This may be the most serious episode of 'THIS Seriously Sucks'. In this episode we talk about the suicidal thoughts some people having when their life is turned upside down.

Nina shares some basic science about all the bizarre stuff going on in your head and talk about why you want to get past 'THIS' and what happens when you do. Plus, super random - Jimmy Stewart jumped off a bridge in 'It's a Wonderful Life' – we watch a movie about suicide each Christmas, so let's all get past feeling awkward talking about it.Opinions expressed in this podcast are those of Nina Sossamon Pogue and her guests, they are not a substitute for professional advice.

*Trigger warning – talk of intrusive harm thoughts. Perhaps surprisingly, having unwanted and intrusive thoughts as a mother is incredibly common, and in fact – almost universal. Yet, how often is this spoken about in motherhood? In this episode I interview Dr Caroline Boyd, a chartered clinical psychologist who is an expert on intrusive, unwanted harm thoughts that mothers have about their babies. We talk about the connection between harm thoughts and actually causing harm to our children, where harm thoughts come from, some reasons as to why we have them, and what we can do in response to these thoughts. Caroline warns against interpreting us having such harm thoughts as meaning we're a ‘bad mother'. We reflect on the projection of perfectionism and mothering myths, and the ways intensive mothering contributes to the stigma, shame, guilt, and challenges that mothers face. You can reach Caroline at https://drcarolineboyd.com/ or through Instagram @_drboyd Note – Fathers do also report experiencing these thoughts too, but to a slightly lesser degree to Mothers.

I asked on my Facebook page what types of topics listeners wanted to hear about on this series "You Aren't Alone", and many people said they struggled with scary thoughts. Since then, I have been paying attention to my own scary thoughts so that I could discuss them on here. I hope that you find this podcast both validating and encouraging.

TRIGGER WARNING. This week I'm talking about intrusive, unwanted harm thoughts with Dr. Caroline Boyd. I didn't realise this before I recorded the episode, but this is a really common issue – as you'll learn, most parents will at some point experience intrusive, scary, harm thoughts about their children. However, it's something that just isn't spoken about, so I'm really glad we're having this conversation. Caroline is a clinical psychologist, a writer and a mother. We speak about: • Where intrusive thoughts come from and why they happen • How to manage them • I share my own experience with intrusive thoughts • Caroline shares her experience and those of some of the people who took part in her study Our intention is that in listening to this you feel comforted and come to realise how normal this is. If you'd like more information, you can head over to Caroline's website. If you are concerned by anything this episode raises please go to your GP.
