Paramedics vividly recounted the harrowing scene after the lifeless body of John O'Keefe was discovered at 34 Fairview in Karen Read Trail. In a separate startling incident, a naked inmate caused quite a stir at the Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles County, leaving everyone bewildered. Meanwhile, a remarkable twist in a decades-long mystery has emerged: 82-year-old Audrey Backeberg, who vanished without a trace in July 1962 at just 20 years old, has finally been found living out of state. However, the sheriff's office has chosen to keep the exact location under wraps, adding an air of intrigue to her unexpected return.

In this episode of The Tech Trek, Daniel Whatley, co-founder and technical lead at Vividly, shares his journey launching a startup while still a student at MIT. From managing college life during COVID to navigating the CPG industry's digital transformation, Daniel reflects on what it meant to be the youngest in the room, how he grew into executive leadership, and what he wishes he'd known before co-founding a company. A candid look at growth, grit, and the impact of youth in a traditional space.

English novelist Daisy Hildyard envisions the deep time evolution of the coastline of Scarborough, North Yorkshire: from a prehistoric meteor strike, to a 19th-century seaside aquarium devoid of fish, a present-day spate of dead tides, and a future where part of the human population has evolved into a hybrid marine species, drawn back to the cradle of the sea to care for its degraded waters. Vividly narrated by acclaimed British actor Colin Salmon, and created as part of Wild Eye—an art and nature trail in Yorkshire that raises awareness about coastal erosion in the face of climate change—this short story traces the forever-shifting tides of our relationship with the sea.  Read the story.

Today's book is: The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World (Princeton University Press, 2024), by Dr. Allison Pugh, which explores the human connections that underlie our work, arguing that what people do for each other is valuable and worth preserving. Drawing on in-depth interviews and observations with people in a broad range of professions—from physicians, teachers, and coaches to chaplains, therapists, caregivers, and hairdressers—Dr. Pugh develops the concept of “connective labor,” a kind of work that relies on empathy, the spontaneity of human contact, and a mutual recognition of each other's humanity. The threats to connective labor are not only those posed by advances in AI or apps; Dr. Pugh demonstrates how profit-driven campaigns imposing industrial logic shrink the time for workers to connect, enforce new priorities of data and metrics, and introduce standardized practices that hinder our ability to truly see each other. She concludes with profiles of organizations where connective labor thrives, offering practical steps for building a social architecture that works. Vividly illustrating how connective labor enriches the lives of individuals and binds our communities together, The Last Human Job is a compelling argument for us to recognize, value, and protect humane work in an increasingly automated and disconnected world. Our guest is: Dr. Allison Pugh, who is Professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University, and the 2024-25 Vice President of the American Sociological Association. She writes about how people forge connections and find meaning and dignity at work and at home. She is the author of The Tumbleweed Society: Working and Caring in an Age of Insecurity and Longing and Belonging: Parents, Children, and Consumer Culture. Her writing has appeared in leading publications such as The New Yorker, the New York Times, and the New Republic. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, the producer of the Academic Life podcast. She holds a PhD in history, which she uses to explore what stories we tell and what happens to those we never tell.

Vividly illustrating how connective labor enriches the lives of individuals and binds our communities together, The Last Human Job is a compelling argument for us to recognize, value, and protect humane work in an increasingly automated and disconnected world.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and labor-saving technologies like self-checkouts and automated factories, the future of work has never been more uncertain, and even jobs requiring high levels of human interaction are no longer safe. The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World (Princeton UP, 2024) explores the human connections that underlie our work, arguing that what people do for each other in these settings is valuable and worth preserving. Drawing on in-depth interviews and observations with people in a broad range of professions--from physicians, teachers, and coaches to chaplains, therapists, caregivers, and hairdressers--Allison Pugh develops the concept of "connective labor," a kind of work that relies on empathy, the spontaneity of human contact, and a mutual recognition of each other's humanity.

Concern is mounting at the highest echelons of the political establishment, with President Biden reportedly displaying heightened signs of stress over the fate of his bid for a second term, according to NBC News. Recent conversations behind closed doors at the White House have alluded to the discomforting reality that his approval ratings in vital swing states such as Michigan and Georgia are on a downward trend. As these assistants presented him the grim statistics, the President allegedly voiced his frustrations quite vehemently towards his staff. Witnesses within that meeting affirm that President Biden was nothing short of incandescent, a testament provided by the journalistic trio of NBC - Peter Nicholas, Courtney Kube and Carol E. Lee. Following a briefing about his diminishing approval scores in the aftermath of his administration's policies regarding the Israeli-Hamas conflict, the President responded passionately. A key point of contention hinged on these swing states that he triumphed in during the last election, and another loss could spell disaster for his second run at the White House. Vividly, one congressional associate recalled, 'The President was irate, insisting he was making the right decisions irrespective of the political repercussions.' Andrew Bates, a spokesperson for the White House, confirmed that the President's decision-making is oriented towards national security needs and is not swayed by other considerations. Nevertheless, the data doesn't mince words and regardless of how the situation is gauged or packaged, the President's re-election chances present significant cause for worry. As the months have slipped by from that January meeting, the President's approval ratings across nearly all swing states have continued to wither. Former President Donald Trump, is widely expected to vie for the top spot in the 2024 presidential race as the Republican party's nominee, and at this stage, he appears to be enjoying a favorable lead against Biden. As these strategies unfold, another allegation against Trump has been stoked by the Biden camp. Detractors claim Trump implies there would be significant unrest if he were to lose the upcoming election. The allegation rests on a phrase that Trump used during a rally in Ohio, which many have claimed insinuatingly described the country's fate should he lose. Democrats, along with various mainstream media entities in their corner, see this as an attempt to depict Trump as a danger to democracy. But no sooner had this rumor garnered momentum than it lost its wind, fast-tracked to failure by its originators. Some interpret this hasty retreat as a sign of mounting desperation within Biden's team. It seems that no matter how they spin it, the tide is turning increasingly in Trump's favor. The President's staff seems consistently eager to put Trump on the back foot, but trusted allies of Biden have admitted to NBC News that they keep hitting a metaphorical brick wall with the electorate. Notable individuals such as Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) have expressed urgency for the incumbent President to take assertive control of his position. 'President Biden confidently declared himself as the man to beat Trump, and he needs to make good on that promise,' Smith implied. He further appealed for the President to devote his energy towards achievements, rather than expending it on defensive petulance. Other Democrats too, like Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and former Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), despite their high praise for Biden, have expressed a nuanced and critical view, highlighting that the Democrats and the White House have done an inadequate job championing (and conversely, countering) the administration's successes and failures, respectively. Certain anonymous Democrats have also suggested that President Biden may be overly critical of himself for not asserting more control over his cabinet. One member purported, 'I think he's a bit disappointed in himself for not having been more dominating with the team.' Yet, despite these obstacles, senior campaign advisors suggested to NBC News that there is light at the end of the tunnel, that they are optimistic of a turnaround, especially since both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been more proactive on the campaign trail. One advisor said, 'The president and his entire team have been very eager to increase his visibility, with plans in place since the beginning of the election year, as has been standard procedure for past incumbents seeking re-election.' Thus, as the months count down, the road to the next election grows more fraught with complexities and challenges for both the incumbent and the hopefuls. But, as history dictates, the run to the Oval Office has always been a game of intricate stratagems and bold maneuvering.

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are covering one of our most favorite Christmas films, "The Grinch." This version came out in 2000 and stars Jim Carrey. In this episode we cover Reactive Attachment Disorder, Season Affective Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder and the impact of trauma and bullying in early life. We don't leave you feeling hopeless so we also share effective therapy for early childhood disruption and stories of healing. We hope you enjoy! Website Tiktok Instagram Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Fieri, a psychiatrist. And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker. And this is Analyze Scripts, a podcast. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Where two shrinks analyze the depiction of. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Mental health in movies and TV shows. Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriends. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: There is so much misinformation out there. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And it drives us nuts. And if someday we pay off our student loans or land a sponsorship, like with a lay flat airline or a. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Major beauty brand, even better. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And your DSM Five and enjoy. Hi. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Welcome to our December edition of our podcast. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Happy Holidays. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Happy holidays near and far. If you are an international listener, which we did just get Spotify wrapped info, right? We're global, so thank you. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: We are global. Guys, it's official. Our top three countries on spotify were America, Canada and Norway. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Who knew? So loving the northern European aisles. So we are really excited to kind of continue the December edition of some holiday classics. So today we're going to be covering The Grinch, the Jim Carrey version. So there's many versions, obviously. I think at least I'm more familiar with the Jim Carrey one. Then there's the cartoon, right? The original. And then there's the new cartoon, which is really funny and silly, too. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And the new cartoon has some pretty sick beats, has some good music. And, of course, I think we were, like, going back and forth about, do we cover the original or the Jim Carrey version? And I was glad when you agreed we should do Jim Carrey version because it's so good. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. And there's a lot there. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, just like the costuming, the makeup. Every time I watch it, I'm just looking at The Grinch, like, did he just take 10 hours to get in this costume every day? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Probably. I mean, that is a fun fact. All of their facial constructions, the nose for makeup every single day. So I went to at my dance studio growing up, the girl I don't know her name, I should have walked who was climbing up the mountain at the beginning with the boys to, like, the grim. Yeah. So she went to my dance studio. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: No way. Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: So I don't know if she's been in things since, but that was always so exciting. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That's like a hot take. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Anyway. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And Taylor Momson was so adorable as Cindy Lou. I know. And that's obviously, like, pre Gossip Girl, but then she went into Gossip Girl, and then she was, like, the lead singer of that really intense heavy metal band. And I'm not sure what she's doing now, but she's just so adorable and was really perfect for the role. And I just loved all their hairstyles, and I'm assuming they were wigs, but just super cool. And then molly shannon, of course I know. Who doesn't love her? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Some of the people when I looked up the cast list, I was like, oh, yeah, duh. That's them. But their makeup and costuming was so good that it just never even crossed my mind that that was my Shannon. But, like, hello, superstar. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Hello. Oh, my God, we should do Superstars, by the way, side note. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And then I vividly remember this movie coming out. I think I was in late middle school, early high school, and it was like a year when my family was having a hard time and that Faith Hill, Where Are you? Christmas song came out. And it really was like I remember just being like, this is how I feel this year. And even still, it really gets you and I think really speaks to how emotional the holiday season can be as we keep talking about and emphasizing in our holiday episodes. That is a fact that holidays can be hard for people of all ages and backgrounds. And I really loved that this movie and the Grinch story in general really speaks to the meaning of the holidays and that beyond the commercialization of it, it stirs up a lot of big feelings for people. And that's yeah, yeah. Vividly remember hearing that song as a kid and being like just like, oh, speaks to Know. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I mean, Faith Hill is such a wonderful artist. And I think know it came out with the album because Cindy Lou, right? Like, sings in her little beautiful voice, too, in the movie. But then the Faith Hill version, I think, was just like a tear. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yes. And it reminds me of that song. My grown up Christmas list. Have you heard that one? Yeah, similar, right, where you're just like it's just like really I don't know, something about Christmas music really gets me. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I'm a music crier, so if it is hallelujah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, I can easily a lot of the Christmas, even a lot of the church hymns, even not for a sad reason, they're just, like, really moving. Yeah, right. They're so moving. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I was just going to say that reminds me. I recently was at Disney World, and they're doing a lot of their Christmas stuff right now. And I went to what they call the candlelight processional show. I don't know if you've ever heard of it's, at Epcot. So it's this big show that's been going on for 60 years, and they have a big choir, a live band, and then there's always a celebrity narrator who basically narrates the Christian Christmas story, right. And then they sing all the classic Christmas songs with a huge choir. So it's like really emotional, really beautiful. And when I was there, Chrissy Metz from this Is US was the celebrity. Narrator do you know who she is? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I loved. This is us. I feel like in our giveaway, which we'll talk about then in our episode, a lot of people have recommended that to us over the years. But anyway, she was like, balling. She was just, like, so moved by the Christmas story and the big choir. And I think it's just like the music, right? It's, like, so moving. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I attended the online version, but a conference for eating disorders. And it was in the Renfro conference. Yeah, she was one of the keynote speakers, just talking about her experience. And it was like, a couple of people who've been very open about their experience in a larger body and just, like, fat phobia and being an advocate. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh, wow. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, I was really impressed with what she had to yeah. We both kind of just saw her in two different ways than this is us. So she's getting around everywhere. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That's awesome. And actually, I just saw on her Instagram she's coming to New Haven with I guess she's like obviously she's a singer, but I guess with her band or something. Cool. Hey, Chrissy. Matt's, like, we love you. Okay. Anyway, back to the grinch. There's a lot we could talk about. So what jumps out to so I. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Was, you know, using Google as one does when they're looking for movie fun facts and something that I didn't see, but did pop out at me when I was watching the movie. Which is kind of a controversial disorder in the DSM and kind of in I don't know its use, its treatment, but it's a reactive attachment disorder. So I thought of him kind of immediately the Grinch with attachment. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Like, he kind of came from somewhere. We don't know. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: The storks in the sky. Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And he landed outside and then he was cold and alone. I don't know for how long, not a long period of time. But it makes me think of some disrupted attachment and some neglect. And then the two sisters kind of take him in. And then he kind of goes on to continue, though, to not fit in and not have these connections with his peers. And so I thought, just for educational purposes, we could talk a little bit about reactive attention. I've worked I think that's a great idea over the years with it. And again, it's not common. But unfortunately, with the DSM, the current version of it, we only really have two disorders that we can diagnose and bill with. So it's reactive attachment disorder and then the disinhibited social where did it go? Disinhibited social engagement disorder. So everyone really wants there to be way more attachment based disorders. It would be more gentle, I think, with explaining some behavior. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So anyway, like, from childhood to adulthood. Yeah, I think totally. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And we've talked a lot about borderline disorder throughout our movies and TV shows. And there's a lot of talk about borderline often, but not always stemming from attachment issues. DSM, I think Sick should work on that. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. And I think, too, there's so many different schools of thought in terms of psychological development or schools of thought in terms of how do you do psychotherapy? What's sort of your lens that you see things through? And attachment is a big one. That's one that I find myself just naturally gravitating towards. And I've noticed we talk about it a lot on our podcast, almost every character. You and I are really curious about their attachments. Like with the morning show, we were like, oh, finally we saw Corey's mom. We're just constantly wondering, how did people get to be this way? And I think those early years are so important, right? Like between ages zero and five. That really sets the stage psychologically for how you will relate to adults. Really. Like, those early attachments we talked about in our Harry Potter episode with your caregivers are incredibly important. And, yeah, we see the Grinch as a baby, but like an older baby, like six to twelve months, I'd say, based on his head control and vocalizations and things like that. Dropped off on the stoop. So what happened before then? If anything, it's cold. And then he looks totally different from everyone else. And he's super bullied. Like all those scenes with Martha May when he's so excited to give her the valentine or not the valentine. The Christmas angel. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And even the teacher. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I know everyone's like that one scene. Slow laughing, right? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: They're like, yeah, even the teacher. It reminds me of Stepbrothers when the mom gets involved singing songs. Brennan has a know where. It's just like even the adult who's supposed to be protecting you in that. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Space is like adding to it. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think a lot of people, even if you have solid, secure attachment, can relate to feeling bullied or laughed at in school. But he really got it. And we really saw how that made him isolate. Totally. Right. Totally isolate. And it's interesting, right? I think comparing how the Grinch responds to that type of early experience know, in a future episode, we're going to talk about Frozen, how Elsa responds and then isolates herself. It's interesting parallels to me. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. And a common theme in some child movies. I just think it's know something bad happens, which I guess is just a good story. And then how someone responds to that something bad happening or hard or, you know, how they kind of manage to do it. And ideally, if it's a Disney movie, they coped well and kind of come out the other side. But we see that with a Grin. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So, again, when we talk about attachment, again, it's a term used to talk about the connection between an infant and their early caregiver. Usually it's a parent, but not always. It can be a grandparent. It can be someone at an orphanage. Hopefully it's someone that's a good place to start, is we hope there's someone. Right? Hi, scribbles. So then we think about and we've talked about in a lot of our past episodes, like Harry Potter, you a lot of different ones about the different type styles of attachment. We think about secure attachment versus insecure attachment. And then in that umbrella of insecure attachment, we think about avoidant attachment styles versus anxious avoidant attachment styles versus a reactive type of attachment style, right? So when you have a secure attachment, the child knows and feels secure in knowing that their needs will be met by their caregiver. And this develops over time, like for human babies, when you cry, your mother comes to feed you, to change you, to hold you. As the baby gets older, the child begins to be able to tolerate waiting for mom because they've been able to internalize, like, even if I'm crying, I know she will eventually come to me. It's something called object permanence, where I believe it's around 18 months old, where kids can realize, like, okay, even if I don't see my mom, I know she still exists, and when I need her, I know she will hear me and come to get me, even if it's not immediate. So you develop this secure feeling like your needs will be met. When you have insecure attachment, you don't develop that. You can't count on your needs being met, and you react to that in different ways. If you have an anxious attachment style, you're always kind of like wanting it to be met and not really being able to trust, like, will it be met or not? You're always anxious about it. If you have an anxious avoidant attachment style, you have that anxiety and then you kind of avoid social interactions in adulthood, you might not pursue romantic partnership, you might have a hard time making long term friendships, things like that. If you have a totally avoided attachment style, you don't interact with anyone, and you're just like, I can't trust anyone. And then this reactive attachment style is having a really hard time soothing yourself. So I remember seeing this in some kids when I did inpatient child psychiatry rotations who maybe grew up in I specifically remember one case where the child grew up in an orphanage in Russia or somewhere like that and was adopted by a family who'd also adopted like eight other kids but adopted them at like age nine or something. And the kid was having a really hard time adjusting, and it was just like a lot of emotional dysregulation, really hard time feeling soothed, really hard time trusting that anyone is safe to soothe them. It's really sad to see. And so we think that kids with reactive attachment disorder have a really disturbed internal working model of relationships. It's like the most severe version of an attachment disorder. And so that leads to a lot of interpersonal and behavioral problems later in life. Most of them have early childhood neglect, abuse or both especially in that ages zero to five range. Or early loss, like early tragic loss, which then leads to neglect or things like that where their needs aren't met. And I think it's been connected to I don't know the date off the top of my head, but things in adulthood like substance use disorder, mental health disorders, trouble maintaining jobs like stuff like that. But what's been your experience with it? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Similar, just kind of working. I think it's been some of the saddest cases I've worked with and just some of the ones that I feel like really sit with you and I won't forget. And I think that just speaks to how many painful and terrible things that we see and work with families for. It's like this, just for me, has really taken the cake, I think, because treatment feels really difficult and challenging because so much of it has to do with the caregiver. And the caregiver really should be in their own therapy because it's so difficult, really. You have to almost be like it's almost like an impossible expectation which no one's asking the parent to give or the caregiver to give. But you have to really be kind of coaching constantly. Everything's kind of a goal, everything's even a hug. Like a lot of kids with reactive attachment disorder don't like to be touched. So it's like how can you show important love? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Regulate them. Yeah, exactly. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It's just hard. So there's like attachment therapy, play therapy, of course for little ones. There's some residential that they do rad. Sometimes they send them home with a puppy I've seen to develop a bond with something. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, because I was just thinking, as you were saying, that so much of therapy, at least in adults, focuses on the therapeutic alliance which means the connection between the patient and their therapist. And time and time again studies have shown that is the strongest predictor of positive outcomes in therapy is having that connection with your therapist. And for so many patients. If not, I would argue all of them who have attachment struggles, whether they meet criteria for a full fledged attachment disorder or they just have some. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Interpersonal. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Stuff with their parents that they're trying to work through, that gets replicated in the therapeutic relationship. And that can be, like, a great way to work on healing those wounds and learning how to trust other people, at least in the psychodynamic work that I do. And that's going to be so hard with someone with a reactive attachment style because they're going to really struggle to form that alliance with their care with a therapist. And I think that's like the whole goal probably for a really long time in the therapy is just to connect and be a safe place. Right. And similarly if you're adopting a child with this kind of attachment style, I think, but I'm sure we could do a better job that adoption agencies and stuff like help parents learn how to relate to these kiddos and over time but I don't actually know how much support parents get who are adopting. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, I think that's hard. I guess, even thinking of some of the cases where the belief is that some were from the kind of the international adoptions from places in Eastern Europe where we kind of know historically there seems to be a lot of neglect and then other just like horrific cases of child abuse and neglect here right. Early on adoption. So when we think of the Grinch, the point of kind of bringing up reactive attachment disorders, there's so many things. So people there's like antisocial personality disorder people have kind of talked about with him, depression, trauma, of course. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But it's like I think this was. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Just like a little bit of a unique one. But he does demonstrate some of the criteria. So not liking physical touch, he wants to kind of be on his own, being unhappy or sad, it says, without a clear cause. I think we could take the trauma approach that there's always a clear cause with abuse in the case, it's always coming from somewhere but not really expressing emotions. So having a conscience, like struggling with remorse or guilt and then the detachment, withdrawal, kind of all of that. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. And in terms of the DSM Five how, they also include some other symptoms that you might see in children with a reactive attachment disorder, which includes things like poor hygiene, not meeting motor milestones, having trouble with eye contact or social interactions, having blank expressions, appearing like unfocused, not responding socially appropriately to an interpersonal interactions, and stuff like that. And kind of all of that makes sense. Right. Because you learn how to groom yourself from your caregiver, right? Like your caregiver brushes your teeth, brushes your hair, gets you dressed before you know how to do that. So if no one's doing that for you, you don't know to do it for yourself. Right. And so I think you could also see how I just think, like, a trauma informed approach is so important because you could see how someone with this attachment style could be misdiagnosed as like ADHD, odd conduct disorder. And sure, I think there might be a proportion of people with this early childhood trauma and attachment style who go on to develop those things, but it might not actually be that. Right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That's important to emphasize. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: The big years that I feel like that kind of comes out is more which is where the research with reactive attachment disorder is lacking and why it can be a little controversial because there's no long term studies, really about what it turns into. They know a lot from zero to five. But then after it's like, are the kiddos kind of getting a secure attachment, working on it, developing the ability to have close, safe relationships? Or is it kind of taking that other route where it's still not having any relationships and then the behaviors kind of naturally come out of that. It's not like the behaviors first, it's like you're kind of on your own in this big social world. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Exactly right. It's like the former way you described it is like what we see in this movie with the grins who he can develop this secure feeling with. Cindy Lou. Interestingly. A little child. Right? And we always think like children are very pure and kind and so innocent. Right. And as adults, we often say like, gosh, when do we all become know when you're looking at little kids and interestingly, as you were saying that, Portia, I was just thinking like, well, in order to do a long term study, your participants have to keep participating, which in of itself is an attachment. So these people are not going to do that, right, if their attachment isn't healing righteous. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. And I thought his heart growing was to me just like so symbolic of him being and again, it's a movie and it's fast, but his healing and his ability to then connect and he kind of learns that through Cindy Luhu. And then it's safe to kind of try other attachments with his his caregivers. He kind know, reunites with and they put the sweater on him that's like itchy looking. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, but he can tolerate even that. Know, it is like such a beautiful like for therapy in some, right? Like, I guess if Cindy Lou and the Grinch are engaging in play therapy, I guess if you're following my drift, that if you can develop that connection and it can feel safe and if someone in your life can see past all the acting out behaviors, stealing the present, stealing the you know, stealing all the lights. All this stuff the Grinch is doing in anger, which is sort of his way of projecting out all the pain he's holding inside from all his early life experience. If there's someone in your life again, hopefully an adult, not a child, hopefully someone will train someone in your life who can hold on to and keep mirroring back to you that you do have goodness inside. You are worthy of love. I see you for who you are despite all your acting out. I'm not going to leave you, baby. Is that powerful? And don't you wish everyone could have a person like that in your life? I'm just thinking of all the teenage boys I've seen in my work throughout the years who are just really acting out. And you're just like, god, you just need someone to love you. And it's tough. And these behaviors make it hard to do that consistently. Right. But you really need it because they. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Are so naturally kind of pushing others away. But it's like the core purpose of that is to protect. So it's like while others are kind of getting hurt or like, oh, yeah, he's a jerk. I can't believe he did that. It's like obviously some peers, I'm not asking them to have the capacity to do that, but like the caregivers or the adults around or the teachers or the supports, the therapist, it's like, well, why is this happening and how does it benefit him? But he also does have a dog. So now, thinking about animals, was that a tiny little way that even while he was by himself, he was able to develop an attachment with an animal, and that made it easier for them with Cindy Lou, who's also like a little bit, in a way, children are like animals. If you could go with me giving you that positive, unconditional, like, just the consistency. I feel like children in a way, are predictable in that way with just sometimes emotions. And so maybe that was the little crack that opened, allowed Cindy to kind of open the door. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I think that does speak to why could his heart grow? Why could he start to develop this? I think because there's some ability there for that. Right? He must have had some, however small thread of attachment that he knew it was possible there was something in there, whether it was those two sisters that he learned to trust, whether there was something there that led him to getting the dog. Right. And I mean, I've seen so many adult patients with a lot of attachment issues or trauma who really rely on their pets, right? And then there's all of the emotional support animals, which can be exploited, but when it's appropriate, it makes so much sense, right. Even if it's hard to attach to humans, because humans can be cruel sometimes animals, you can develop that attachment. So I think it does speak to the Grinch's ability to develop an attachment. However, it takes time, and it has to be in the right situation. But I think if he had been living alone like a hermit, with no dog, with no desire, then a there wouldn't be a story, there wouldn't be a movie. Right. He just wouldn't go to the Hubilation. He would just kind of be a hermit. Right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I had a question for you, similarly, and I'm curious to hear your perspective about medication. So when I worked with some kiddos who had the diagnosis of reactive attachment disorder, it felt like a similar medication mix for borderline, right? Like an antianxiety, like a risperadol sometimes with respiradone, with aggression. So what else do you see? Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So, again, I'm not a trained child and adolescent psychiatrist, but I would agree with you. In my brief training in child and adolescent psychiatry, during my adult residency training, it was hard because for a while I thought about pursuing child and adolescent, but then I didn't. And one big reason was because I felt like a lot of times as a psychiatrist, it was expected that you would medicate symptoms that at least like on the inpatient settings. I kept thinking, like, they're acting this way because of their home life or because of their parents or they're behaving and totally medicine isn't going to fix that. I would always say to my supervisors, I wish I could just prescribe them new parents. I just want to give them a loving parent. And Dr. Q, one of my favorite teachers of all time, when she would be interviewing kiddos and stuff, who were coming on the unit, she would get a good sense of what's their relationship like with their parents and then also ask them questions like, what do you go to when you're sad? Or who can you talk to when you have a question? Trying to gauge, like, is there someone else in your life? A coach, a teacher? Is there someone? And if there was someone kind of like the Grinch, there must been someone that you hope you can foster that relationship. But I would agree with you. I feel like in terms of the medication side, I think you often end up medicating certain symptoms in hopes it'll help keep the kid in, quote, unquote, behavioral control. And that always just rubs me the wrong way, because it feels like we're not treating the deeper thing or, like, the root cause, but then it's also like, well, how do you get to the root cause if the behaviors are interfering? It's really complicated, right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But yeah, I would agree with you. I think we see. And sometimes that's appropriate. Sometimes when you have patients with something like borderline personality disorder, it is helpful for them to be on a couple of different medications to help treat the different symptoms so that they're in a place of emotional stability, where they can make use of DBT or play therapy if it's a kid. It's just, I think, really hard with kids when the medications we're using can have so many side effects. So it's a really nuanced decision. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. And I think it just makes it hard. And I think we both have said ten times today, but attachment is so tricky, and I think the most vulnerable people are kiddos, and it just can be heartbreaking. When basic needs aren't met, there's abuse, and then, of course, that they're still not in a good place, and I don't know. But another totally agree, kind of just quick note about the Grinch is I thought it was funny someone it made me think of, like, what is it? Sad? Seasonal effective seasonal affective disorder. And it's like, it's always winter there. It's always holiday stress, right? So it's like, it's this perpetual can you imagine? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like, on the one hand, it's like, wow, it might be nice to live in Christmas time all the time, but then on the other, it's like such that's so much pressure, like, such high expectations. And we see that with the competition. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Between the neighbors, with how many lights. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You get on your house. And then there's even the mayor's wife, who has, like, a Barbie body, right, who's using that light gun to get off. That's why loved this version of the movie, because it. Just speaks to that stress in such a comical way. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And it's also for adults with right seeing, like, doing the gun, it's shooting in that little bit, like, sensual way. It was funny. Yeah, it's funny. And it's definitely a part of the must watch list for me, at least for the holidays. Yeah, I love it. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I love this version. I just love Jim Carrey. Like, who doesn't? Yeah, but he's such a good Grinch. It's so good. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Ten out of ten recommend. So thank you for listening today.

I remember VIVIDLY the first time a leader yelled at me at work. I know now that what I was feeling in that moment was shock but back then I had no clue how to address the situation. I knew how to handle conflict with my students but never with someone who was supposed to be in control and in charge. From that conflict and others like it I've learned that avoiding hard conversations still causes disconnection. Whether it's at the company Christmas party or the Thanksgiving table with family when conflict arises the best thing to do is acknowledge it head on but in a warm way. Here are four questions to help take that burning forest fire and turn it into something warm. Something like a small fire to cook vs an inferno that burns everything it touches. Behind every conflict you will find a need for safety, love or belonging but it usually manifests itself in big and sometimes scary ways. Using these four questions in a tactful way next time you find yourself in a confrontation is going to help you and your relationships, I promise. I've tried it. I've helped others with it. Here's what we talked about: 05:00 My first conflict at work 08:40 Question 1 - finding love 10:00 Question 2 - identifying loss 12:05 Question 3 - addressing hurt 14:30 Question 4 - dreaming 18:54 The opportunities ahead

Audible's bold new addition to the Sherlock Holmes universe, Moriarty: The Devils Game, dares to ask: What if Holmes' most villainous nemesis was actually an innocent man?Featuring Dominic Monaghan (Lord of the Rings, Lost) in a riveting lead performance, Moriarty turns one of literature's most famous rivalries on its head, recasting Professor James Moriarty as a desperate fugitive framed for murder–and hunted by dark forces who will stop at nothing to exploit his brilliance.Moriarty finds the professor on the heels of an earth-shattering mathematical breakthrough–a formula so powerful, it can predict the future–and at the scene of a gruesome murder he must solve to prove his innocence. With London's sprawling underworld as their battleground, Moriarty and Holmes match their peerless intellects to gain the ever-shifting upper hand. But as their duel escalates, so does the deadly cost of pursuing the truth. “What will it take to get your justice?” Dr. Watson asks an utterly ensnared Moriarty, “And if do you get it… what will you become?”Vividly brought to life by a sensational cast and meticulously crafted sound design, Moriarty is a heart-pounding series filled with biting wit and shocking twists at every turn.Listen closely - and assume nothing.

When uprisings against colonial rule broke out across the world after 1945, Britain responded with overwhelming and brutal force. Although this period has conventionally been dubbed "postwar," it was punctuated by a succession of hard-fought, long-running conflicts that were geographically diffuse, morally ambiguous, and impervious to neat endings or declarations of victory. Ruthless counterinsurgencies in Malaya, Kenya, and Cyprus rippled through British society, molding a home front defined not by the mass mobilization of resources, but by sentiments of uneasiness and the justifications they generated. Age of Emergency: Living with Violence at the End of the British Empire (Oxford UP, 2023) traces facts and feelings about violence as torture, summary executions, collective punishments, and other ruthless methods were employed in "states of emergency." It examines how Britons at home learned to live with colonial warfare by examining activist campaigns, soldiers' letters, missionary networks, newspaper stories, television dramas, sermons, novels, and plays. As knowledge of brutality spread, so did the tactics of accommodation aimed at undermining it. Some contemporaries cast doubt on facts about violence. Others stressed the unanticipated consequences of intervening to stop it. Still others aestheticized violence by celebrating visions of racial struggle or dramatizing the grim fatalism of dirty wars. Through their voices, Erik Linstrum narrates what violence looked, heard, and felt like as an empire ended, a history with unsettling echoes in our own time. Vividly analyzing how far-off atrocities became domestic problems, Age of Emergency shows that the compromising entanglements of war extended far beyond the conflict zones of empire.

Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig's King: A Life is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. — and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. He casts fresh light on the King family's origins as well as MLK's complex relationships with his wife, father, and fellow activists. King reveals a minister wrestling with his own human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it proved to be a fight to the death. As he follows MLK from the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Memphis, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became our only modern-day founding father — as well as the nation's most mourned martyr. Shermer and Eig discuss: how to write biography • the history of the King family going back to slavery, Jim Crow, etc. • the influence of King Sr. on Martin's intellectual and emotional development and the Ebenezer Baptist Church • King's early experience with racism in the south • King's religious beliefs and the influence of his faith on his civil rights activism • the influence of Gandhi and Reinhold Niebuhr on King's strategic activism and deep belief in nonviolence • King's politics • Malcolm X • Native Americans • gay rights • accusations of plagiarism, and more… Jonathan Eig is a former senior writer for the Wall Street Journal. He is the New York Times bestselling author of several books, including Ali: A Life; Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig; and Opening Day: The Story of Jackie Robinson's First Season. Ken Burns calls him “a master storyteller,” and Eig's books have been listed among the best of the year by the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Sports Illustrated, and Slate. He lives in Chicago with his wife and children.
