Podcasts about stigmas

Moses Williams is an 18-year-old Social/Self-Pres 5w6 who is also on the autism spectrum. Moses describes growing up feeling that adults were hiding the truth, that essential information was missing, and that everyone else somehow knew how to be human in a way he didn't. We talk about his often obsessive fascination with taboo topics—pornography, sexual deviance, violence—not to provoke, but to answer the horrifying question: “Am I stupid for not knowing this already?” He recounts a personal collapse that left him with three options: become a sanitized version of himself, disappear entirely, or dismantle and reform collective assumptions entirely. This conversation also explores intellectual separatism, the pressure to adapt to norms that feel senseless, and the slow, reluctant emergence of a heart that wants something real. This episode contains references to pornography, sexual deviance, and suicide. Listener discretion advised.

Guest: Lora Ruth Wogu, Migrant Health Alliance Ireland

In this enlightening episode of "Crafting a Meaningful Life," host Mary Crafts welcomes Brian Higgins, founder of the nonprofit Mental Healthy F.I.T., to explore the crucial topic of mental health awareness. Brian shares his personal and professional experiences shaped by growing up in conflict-ridden Northern Ireland, later grappling with PTSD, addiction, and homelessness. The discussion delves into how creativity, particularly through film, can serve as an impactful therapeutic medium for mental health awareness. Throughout the conversation, Mary and Brian discuss the stigmas surrounding mental health and how storytelling can bridge the disconnect often found in traditional therapeutic approaches. With a focus on Mental Health Awareness Month, the episode emphasizes the significance of asking for help and understanding the universal nature of emotional experience. By coupling Brian's lived experiences and inventive initiatives through his nonprofit, the podcast highlights how creative outlets can inspire healing and change while also providing listeners with innovative ways to reframe their challenges.   About the Guest: Brian Higgins: Brian Higgins is the founder of "Mental Healthy F.I.T.", a national nonprofit organization based in Salt Lake City, Utah. "F.I.T." stands for Films, Ideas, and Tips, focusing on leveraging the power of creative media to promote mental health awareness and support. Born in Northern Ireland, Brian grew up amid the conflicts known as "The Troubles," which significantly impacted his life and led to his personal journey dealing with PTSD. With a diverse background that spans conflict zones and community work, Higgins has become an advocate for mental health, using storytelling and film as therapeutic tools to foster understanding and healing. Episode Summary: Key Takeaways: Mental health struggles can be addressed through creative outlets like film, which help in expressing difficult emotions constructively. Stigmas around mental health persist, but the conversation stresses that everyone's life involves elements of mental wellness exploration. Brian's journey from Northern Ireland's conflicts to pioneering Mental Healthy F.I.T. exemplifies the potential for recovery and community contribution through creativity. Asking for help and acknowledging personal struggles are critical steps toward healing, which are supported by engaging with various therapeutic modalities. The concept of viewing traumatic memories differently, as demonstrated by Brian's 'banana' technique, shows the power of creative thinking in coping with PTSD.   Resources: Mental Healthy F.I.T.: Website TED Talk by Brian Higgins   To grasp the full depth of this compelling conversation, listen to the entire episode.

Key Points:George's background and servicesGeorge introduces himself as a 52-year-old male escort who provides a "sensual and caring" connection for women, often those who have not had intimacy for a long time. He explains that his services go beyond just physical intimacy, and that he aims to provide tenderness, affection, and a safe space for his clients.Addressing the loneliness epidemic Cam notes that George's services seem to address a significant need, as many women experience loneliness, especially those living alone. George agrees, stating that his clients often crave basic human touch and connection that they are missing in their daily lives.Debunking misconceptions about escort workCam acknowledges that there are many misconceptions about what escort work entails, with the assumption that it is purely transactional. George emphasizes that for him, the emotional and companionship aspects are far more important than the physical, and that he aims to provide a truly caring and nurturing experience for his clients.Navigating boundaries and authenticityGeorge discusses how he maintains boundaries and authenticity in his work, noting that while he uses a pseudonym, he is largely the same person in his personal life as he is with clients. He explains the importance of understanding each client's needs and desires in order to provide the best possible experience.Destigmatizing women seeking male escort services George believes that the key to destigmatizing women seeking male escort services is for women to feel empowered to acknowledge and embrace their desires, without shame or judgment. He advocates for more open and honest conversations around intimacy and human connection.Closing thoughts on kindness and curiosityIn closing, George emphasizes the importance of being kind, curious, and attentive in relationships, both personal and professional. He believes that these qualities are the foundation for meaningful connections and fulfilling experiences.Relevant linksGeorge Goulburn's Website:https://www.georgegoulburn.com/

Send us a textAward-winning multimedia artist Dez, also known as Loveartpix, joins us to share his remarkable journey of living with autism and challenging societal misconceptions.  With a confident demeanor that often leads others to question his diagnosis, Dez opens up about the emotional hurdles and stigmas he faces.  Through his story, we aim to foster a greater understanding of neurodivergence and emphasize the importance of supporting individuals on the autism spectrum. Dez's experience sheds light on the diverse spectrum of autism, encouraging listeners to rethink preconceived notions and embrace a more inclusive perspective.Navigating the labyrinth of mental health diagnoses, Dez recounts his tumultuous path, initially misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder before his eventual autism diagnosis provided clarity and understanding. This revelation was transformative, especially as he prepared for parenthood, and highlights the need for neurodivergent-informed mental health services. The episode delves into the additional layers of ADHD and racial trauma, revealing the complexities of Dez's journey and underscoring the necessity for tailored support systems and continued research in these areas.Art emerges as a beacon of expression and empowerment throughout Dez's life. By harnessing the power of creative outlets like the Pixart app, Dez channels his focus and manages mental exhaustion, finding solace and self-discovery in the process. His artistic endeavors are not just personal but also societal, as he works to establish a neurodivergent art focus group in a maximum security prison and prepares for a solo exhibition in Manchester. Dez's story is a testament to the transformative power of art, and he invites listeners to share their own stories, reinforcing the message that no one is alone in this journey.https://tonymantor.comhttps://Facebook.com/tonymantorhttps://instagram.com/tonymantorhttps://twitter.com/tonymantorhttps://youtube.com/tonymantormusicintro/outro music bed written by T.

Mental health is a crucial topic that often goes unaddressed, yet it affects everyone in some way. The hosts dive deep into the importance of discussing mental health openly, emphasizing that just as our bodies can experience illness, so can our minds. They explore the stigma surrounding mental health issues, reflecting on how past generations often swept these concerns under the rug, leading to a culture of silence. Through personal anecdotes and shared experiences, they highlight the necessity of seeking support, whether through friends, family, or professional help. Ultimately, the conversation underscores that no one should navigate their struggles alone, and reaching out can pave the way for healing and understanding.Takeaways: Mental health is a crucial topic that should be openly discussed within the Christian community. Stigmas surrounding mental illness can lead to isolation, but sharing experiences can promote healing. Gratitude can counter anxiety and fear, as our minds cannot focus on both simultaneously. It is essential to have a support system in place to help navigate mental health struggles. Communication is key in relationships; suppressing feelings can lead to bigger issues later on. Seeking professional help, such as therapy or counseling, is a valuable step for recovery.
