In todays episode we are joined by TC Pearson. TC Pearson is the founder and host of The Minnesota Black Robe Regiment show on YouTube and Rumble. He has always been a student of history and culture often commenting and warning others around him of the creeping Authoritarianism of political elites and political celebrities. On April 25th of 2020 TC launched his YouTube channel and headed out for man on the street interviews at a protest against the lockdown orders put in place by Governor Tim Walz in Minnesota. His work grew from there and he started to interview and stand alongside small business owners in Minnesota as their lives and livelihood were stripped from them by unconstitutional edicts. This work put TC in the crosshairs of many public servants in Minnesota and eventually his employer, Sheriff Kevin Torgerson of the Olmsted County Sheriff's Office moved to investigate TC and eventually placed him on administrative leave on April 30th of 2021. Despite the desire of the Kevin Torgerson to fire TC for his dissident views Torgerson was forced to realize that he was fighting a losing battle. Knowing that when he won the court battles with Torgerson TC would have to walk back into a hostile environment where he would never be secure again, he decided to take a settlement and gave up a near thirteen-year career that he had come to love. TC has always hated bullies and stood up to them wherever he encounters them. Today your bullies have the Power of The State and the glamorization of personality disorders on their side, will you stand?

Jake and I are therapists from wildly different backgrounds. When I'm hiking waterfalls in the lush Pacific Northwest, Jake is shooting guns in the Nevada desert. Yet, as it turns out, we see eye-to-eye on a surprising number of things. Why is it important for therapists to check for cultural biases in the least likely places we might think to look? When does “supportive” therapy become counterproductive? And how can therapists help our patients not need us anymore? Then, Jake clears up myths and misconceptions about guns and gun owners.Jake Wiskerchen is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and clinical supervisor who formerly chaired the Nevada Board of Examiners for Marriage and Family Therapists and Clinical Professional Counselors. He hosts two podcasts: Noggin Notes, and Guns and Mental Health. He founded Zephyr Wellness and partners with Walk the Talk America.

We are joined by Chris Gering. A graduate of Northern Arizona University, garnering a Doctorate in Physical Therapy was the logical career path for me following an injury-ridden collegiate baseball career. Aspirations of becoming a graphic designer, commercial pilot, and civil engineer were eventually overshadowed by his fascination with movement dysfunction, injury, and their relationship with physical and emotional well-being. He have been fortunate to apply this passion and knowledge as both a staff physical therapist, clinical director, and now private practice owner. Compassion, inclusivity, empathy, kindness, connection, and trust are at the forefront of my practice. From sports injuries to post-operative conditions, He is committed to providing an extremely personalized, patient-centered, and evidence-based experience to injury and pain recovery.

To keep this level of coordination running smoothly, we often look to others as comparison standards for how to behave, think, and feel. In todays episode, Jake and Elliot dive deep on the topic of comparisons, especially during this COVID pandemic. They discuss how to be aware of the language we use and the comparisons we create in our daily lives and in society. Hope you Enjoy!

Trigger warning: discussion on firearms, suicide, and violence. As the discussion around firearm ownership and accessibility becomes more and more heated in America, the conversation around mental health can be overshadowed. Politics and passion aside; focusing on having accessible mental health care without judgment for everyone (including those who own firearms) is critical. We recorded this episode a few months ago, however, I did not publish it when I planned due to multiple suicides by firearm deaths that happened in our community at the time. I felt the timing was not appropriate at that moment with these incidents still fresh. The more I held on to release, the more incidents kept happening around the country. I realized there would never be a "right" time to talk about it. The right time is now. In this episode, I talk to Jake Wiskerchen, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Zephyr Wellness, and Michael Sodini, Founder of the non-profit Walk the Talk America. They have partnered to make mental health resources more accessible to firearm owners, as well as delivering training to mental health professionals to be more culturally competent when treating people in crisis who own firearms (are afraid of the ramifications of disclosing that information). It was an eye-opening conversation and I learned so much more about the importance of treating the source of the problem and not just the symptom.
