Today on the show we talk about insignificance. Specifically the feeling of "Why does anything matter?" to which I ask "Why does anything have to matter?" It's a tricky questions and a tricky conversation but I've been dealing with the depths of purpose, reality and my mental health for over 20 years, so I've got a thing or two to share on the topic. Buckle up, cause it's a bumpy ride but by the time it's over you should feel a sense of letting a lot of that heaviness go and just be able to have yourself a good ol' time on the latest episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about breaking the cycle of abuse. It's an episode focused on helping former abusers understanding how they can stop being an abuser and also not be susceptible to abuse themselves. I specifically talk about it in the context of romantic relationships but it can apply to family or work dynamics as well, in some cases.

I talk about how romantic relationships are about 3 entities, not 2...you, your partner and the relationship. I talk a bit about control and how that affects relationships along with projections of insecurity.

I hope you'll join on this episode to find a better way for all of us to expression love and boundaries on this episode of DOPEamine!

On this special episode of DOPEamine we talk about Father's day and what it means to me as a father who is away from his son, some of the stigma associated and how we can continue to be better men even as we face the challenges of fatherhood. I've been lucky enough to learn how to be a grown man through personal examples and through my personal self-development journey. I also just watched Tony Robbins' "I'm not your guru" so naturally I was a bit inspired. Let's lace up our boots, set up some explosives and launch this episode into space on the latest episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show I wanted to talk a heavy but important topic: Celebrity Deaths. With the recent passing of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, the internet is agape with the shock of frustration of losing two important people in the world. With that frustration comes additional frustrations from the responses from the crowd. From the ignorant to the unhelpful, we breakdown the different types of responses and how even you can have an impact on your immediate support system. The point of this show is to share how only sharing the suicide hotline isn't enough for us to contribute to the well-being of the human race. I thank you guys for listening to this very important episode of DOPEamine.

Today on the show let's talk about introversion. What does it really mean to be an introvert? How does it affect your energy and your mental health? I talk a bit about the stigma surrounding many introverts and the variety of introverts that exist. We also talk a bit about extroverts and how they can be misunderstood as well. I wanted to talk about introverts specifically because much of world seems to have a more natural understanding of extroverts but introverts remains either a mystery or mislabeled. So let's explore all of that on today's episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show I wanted to talk about Thinking and Feeling. I wanted to talk about this concept in abstract terms but mentions of Myers-Briggs does come up. It's the inspiration for this episode. Thinking and Feeling is often thought of Thinking vs. Feeling. Thinking being in reference to analytical thinking and Feeling more focused on emotions. Often they are at odds but in this episode we talk about the difference along with how we bridge the gap to help ourselves think or feel a little better in given scenarios or to better understand someone who uses the opposite function more often. I think it's an interesting show and I hope you enjoy it as well!

Today on the show we're talking about emotional abuse, particular female to male emotional abuse. Much of what is said in this episode can apply to all matters of abuse but there are a few distinct differences when it comes from female to male. Men, in particular, face different challenges when it comes to lack of a support system, their own stigma, and pressure to keep the family unit together or wanting to maintain a sexual relationship. We talk about all of this and more on the next episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show I wanted to talk about Cognitive Empathy. What does that mean? That means, that as more of a thinker type, I've always had a hard time relating to people and how they simply "feel" things. I've always had to learn more about people by asking questions, looking for signs and learning about systems like MBTI. I've developed a better understanding of my past through this development and hopefully I can help you, too!

Today on the show I talk about Honoring Mental Health in a Relationship. In it's most simplest terms, that's about respect and loving one another through every little difficult. Sometimes you have to set boundaries but remember that it's not about control, it's about putting checks and balances in place to make sure that you're cultivating the life and relationship that you want for each other. Speaking to one another about what you're dealing with is also important. We also talk about relationships in which one partner has issues and the other doesn't as well as relationships in which both partners have difficulties.
