The last of the 3-part series, where we talk about treating original sources of symptoms. I review a few selection from the Trauma section of the book, discussing how to identify trauma, the science of processing, what isn't processing, and what is.

*Be aware that this episode discusses potentially triggering material, including sexual assault.

Part 2 of the series, where we talk about how to change your environment to make it more conducive to healing and growing, mostly by setting (and holding) new boundaries and improving interaction skills. All posts reviewed are in the book 101 Therapy Talks, but you can see more about boundaries on the Instagram page:

Look for "Boundaries Miniseries"

The post in here called "Setting Emotional Boundaries", is also the general sequence for coming to really forgive someone.

Not just another list of tips and tricks. This reviews the posts, "Coping or Numbing?", "Levels of Coping," "Body Language," and "Suppressing and Compartmentalizing" to help us understand what coping really is, what it is not, and what will work short-term, and what will last. Sorry about the sound editing. Still learning :)

I promise you this is way more educational than it is erotic. But, for educational purposes, I am going to be very direct in this discussion about sex. I will be reviewing 4 chapters from the book, which move up the brain in terms of what makes for a functional and fulfilling sexual experience. As we will find, it has much more to do with our individual beliefs, emotions, and culture around sex than any specific techniques.

In today’s episode, I talk about how those of the rising generation are adapting proportionally to their circumstances. It makes a lot of sense what’s happening with psychotropic prescriptions being dealt out to children and suicide rates increasing. As we shall discuss.

The posts I’ll be reviewing today are: Mental Illness Needs Context, Covert Depression And Other Undiagnosable Illnesses, Is There Really More Mental Illness Nowadays, parts 1 and 2. Links found here:
