Tom O'Connor, the host of Family Psych Consumer, welcomes his listeners to his podcast community – and walks you through why Family Psych Consumer is providing consumer reporting in mental healthcare NOW and how his content helps parents and families understand the mental healthcare marketplace. Tom takes time to discuss tells his own story as a professional in the mental health care marketplace and his unique perspective as an advisor to parents and families around the US. Tom goes into detail explaining what most listeners experience in their day-to-day life – that they are subject experts on the mental health and disabilities of their loved ones who become patients in the mental health care system. And those parents and family caregivers are marginalized as stakeholders in the treatment decisions and treatment planning for their loved one. In a deeper dive, Tom reviews how psychiatry and mental health care do little to explain to its customers and prospective patients how to understand it, assess it, purchase it or judge its quality. So parents and families are left to guess about a medical service that is highly variable in quality and highly instrumental in the mental welfare of a loved one. He concludes with his vision for a more robust and effective mental health care delivery system designed around caregivers.
Guest Introduction: Brian Tom O’Connor is an actor, theater director, cabaret performer, and formerly depressed guy who stumbled onto the source of joy and happiness in the background of all experience. He is the author of the book, “Awareness Games: Playing With Your Mind to Create Joy.” Interview Summary: In this interview, Brian starts by discussing his background and where he got the idea for his book. He talks about how he suffered from depression for many years, and through his quest to change, discovered the concept of non-duality. We ask Tom to share what he learned from studying non-duality. He describes the process of self-inquiry, the importance of acceptance and love, and where happiness comes from. He then defines awareness and explains how it's both similar and different from mindfulness and meditation. Next, Tom walks us through a short game from his book, called "Expanding and Contracting Awareness". We ask him what people might experience when they first start playing awareness games. Tom then shares some other games, including "Slippery Mind," and "Be a Mirror". He discusses where he got the ideas for these games, as well as some of the feedback that he's gotten from his students. Tom also talks about how becoming more aware has changed his life. He notes that he's not depressed anymore, is more easily able to deal with anxiety, and has more rewarding and connected relationships. Tom then expands on the idea of not controlling things. He explains how being overly controlling of our emotions blocks us from happiness. He offers strategies on how to be more observant and accepting of our emotions. Tom walks us through an awareness game to use when we're feeling bad, called "Include, Include, Include". He also discusses how people can start to develop more awareness in their daily lives. Tom then describes a few of his favorite awareness games: "The Circle of This," "Big Body," and "Wandering Awareness". Finally, we ask Tom to talk about some of the other changes that he's noticed in his life as a result of being more aware. He discusses how his irritability has decreased, and how he's more adept at learning new skills and technologies. He also describes how his relationships have improved, particularly with his husband. Tom emphasizes why it's important to focus on the good qualities in people, and on how you receive everything, rather than focusing on people's faults and trying to change them.
