  • The Ego & It’s Defenses
    Ego: id, ego, and super-ego will use “defense mechanisms” to protect you. Becoming more aware of your ego’s patterned defenses is a helpful pre-requisite for choosing to change.

  • The Ego & It’s Defenses
    After F3 & F4, I wanted a podcast that emphasizes the point that feelings are wise and thoughts/actions are defensive (rightfully so & still helpful to us humans) - but I would rather be wise than defensive. Feelings don’t do anything but communicate a message. Thoughts and actions are… defensive.

  • Meditation
    As we start Season 4 in crazy times, I encourage you to meditate. Here is a starting point. Whatever you get out of it, you get out of it. Whatever stirs, can be insightful. Enjoy. Note: Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu

  • Policy Part I
    This is for all the first responder activists who ask me for psychological policy information. It’s just a start, but maybe someday we can make a positive, relevant, and significant difference for first responders.

  • It doesn’t EVER get better
    It doesn’t get better or easier, but you can get wiser. Life will always be challenging. You have a choice to face difficulty or not. My hope is that you learn to cope. Dog snores in the background, enjoy!
