31. Grief. You have 180 days to get over it. Apr 07, 2022

Show notes

Grief is a normal human response to loss. However, Prolonged Grief Disorder was recently added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This attempts to establish an “acceptable” duration to mourn the loss of a loved one. The consequences of this could be profound. We need to openly share and normalize our experiences with grief.

On today’s podcast we discuss prolonged grief disorder.

If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911. If you're considering suicide, call 1-800-273-TALK to speak with a skilled trained counselor.

30. Do we create our own heaven and hell? Mar 24, 2022

Show notes

If today was the last day of your life, how would you live? By defining your values and purpose in this world, those virtues will provide the guardrails on your path every day. The wisdom of the stoics has been passed down through centuries. However, we ignore that wisdom and let the noise of today distract us from what is truly important.

On today’s podcast we look to the stoics for the ideas and lessons to create a life worth living.

29. Predicting the future Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

The world is moving fast. The global pandemic forced many industries to accelerate their digital transformation forward in order to survive. And the mental health system is no different. The need for mental health services forced clients to become comfortable with telehealth services, direct-to-consumer apps or simply into an already overwhelmed and often dubious system. A system that soon probably won’t look like the system that exists today.

On today’s podcast we look forward to the year 2030 to predict the future of the mental health system.

27. Should I fire my therapist? Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

Can therapy be harmful? The belief that “just talking” leads to change is a common misconception. For many, it’s their behaviors in life that contribute to a pattern of negativity. Ineffective therapy creates emotional dependence with no purpose, no direction or scientific backing. Good therapy prepares you for the end of therapy.

On today’s podcast we discuss when therapy can be harmful.

26. Is mental illness contagious? Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

There is a disturbing trend amongst teens in the U.S. seeking to identify as “mentally ill” and achieve a diagnosis as a means of establishing a group identity.

Human behaviors and emotions are contagious. We learn behaviors through the modeling of others to be accepted into the group. This has always existed.

What is contributing to this dramatic increase?

On today’s podcast we discuss the contagion effect on mental illness.

25. The Sociopath Next Door Feb 17, 2022

Show notes

Pop culture and film have characterized sociopaths, or psychopaths, as manipulative murderers and criminals. Individuals like that surely exist, but portrayals are based upon those in the news or incarcerated criminals. But who are the people that lie and manipulate to gain power without physically harming?

Harvard psychologist Martha Stout, Ph.D. published the book The Sociopath Next Door in 2006. She reveals 4% of the population meets the criteria for sociopaths. They possess no conscience, feel no guilt, or remorse.

On today’s podcast we discuss sociopathy.

23. Mass producing obedience in public schools Jan 27, 2022

Show notes

During the early 1900’s, the United States went through a period of rapid expansion establishing a free public school system. Educators believed that higher levels of education would improve citizenship and produce the managerial and professional leadership needed for modernization.

The structure of education migrated towards a top-down hierarchy, with age based classrooms and a curriculum designed to meet societal needs. Critics describe this structure as a “factory model school” designed to teach obedience in preparation for a life spent working in factories.

Here we are in the year 2022. The United States is primarily a service based economy with many avenues for entrepreneurial exploration. And how has the public school system adapted? By pursuing a policy of “No Child Left Behind” that established standardized exams in math and language to determine federal funding. The unintended consequence of this approach is a curriculum designed to simply take the test.

Does the environment of the public school system limit individual thought, new ideas and innovation?

On today’s podcast Roger, Kelly and Sean discuss the Public School System.
