Dr.’s Gartner and Siegel have long focused this show on highlighting Trump's cognitive decline and personality disorders. Now, with the unsettling post-election atmosphere, we have expanded to address the broader cultural and political repercussions of this era and provide coping mechanisms for it all.

We’ll discuss ABC News' disastrous settlement with Trump, that many see as a preemptive collapse of journalistic integrity. To John and Harry, it marks a dangerous precedent for Trump and the Press, and they predict that it will have a lasting chilling effect on the media.

Dr. Rabinauer and Simone Adams bring a unique perspective to the show, rooted in spiritual inquiry and psychotherapy. Drawing connections between current events and historical experiences, especially the lessons from Nazi Germany, they underscore the importance of finding an inner compass. 

Through practices like inquiry and meditation, they explore how individuals can cultivate a grounded presence that is equipped to handle whatever may come.

Our guests also stress the importance of maintaining balance when engaging with the world and staying true to one's spiritual/moral core. And they’ll offer easy tools you can use every day to foster empathy and counteract the chaos.

As we close out this week’s episode, the Dr.'s share their reflections on the therapeutic power of honest and open dialogue and recommit themselves to always providing a platform for truth and reflection during these uncertain times.
