In Episode 22 of "Give a Fck Actually with Dr. Alex Wills," we're honored to welcome the remarkable Chase Chewning, host of the acclaimed "Ever Forward Radio." Join us for an intimate and introspective conversation that dives deep into the human experience, all while shedding light on Dr. Wills' transformative book, "Give a Fck Actually: Reclaim Yourself with the 5 Steps of Radical Emotional Acceptance."

Dr. Wills and Chase embark on an unfiltered exploration of life's intricacies. Chase's candid insights provide a powerful backdrop for the book's core principles of radical emotional acceptance.

As we journey through Chase's experiences, we uncover the emotional landscape of military service and medical residency, touching on themes of being "Brainwashed" and the complexities of emotions such as fear, sadness, and vulnerability. The conversation takes a profound turn as we delve into Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, discussions on suicide and death, and the transformative process of dismantling our metaphorical "F*ck Shields" and defense mechanisms.

Chase's own journey of embracing vulnerability and seeking help resonates deeply with Dr. Wills' message. The importance of giving ourselves "Permission to Feel" and recognizing emotions as teachers becomes a poignant lesson in both conversation and book.

Skip Goddard:

I graduated from Boise State in 2003 with a B.S., in Psychology. After working in the field as a community-based rehabilitative worker for a number of years, I was accepted at Naropa University in 2006 and graduated with an M.A. in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology in 2009. While there, I started working with Trauma as a focus as a graduate intern with the Boulder Vet Center. Upon returning to Boise in 2009, I returned to work as a community-based worker where I worked in the community with people suffering from severe and persistent mental health conditions. I would eventually attain my LPC in 2010. I would continue working with the same population for eight years. During this time, I also dabbled in substance abuse treatment, running groups and I also worked as a Hospice Spiritual Care provider. I also gained clinical experience in working with a local ketamine clinic around the time that ketamine was first being used as a psychiatric option for mental health conditions. I would eventually be hired as the director of the Western Idaho Community Crisis Center, where I would assist them to develop the center, treating acute mental health and substance use crises. I stayed with the Center through their opening as well as through the 2020 pandemic. Eventually, I was happy to again cross paths with you starting in early 2021.
