Today JD & Col reunite to talk about Worthiness
Are you feeling “good enough”?
JD and Col ask each other and themselves this question. They share thoughts on shame ditches and imposter syndrome, before looking back and taking stock of the 1st season of Mad Practice.
A quick digression on phrases we’ve scratched off the ol’ vocab list like Grandfathered in and Rule of Thumb (which we discovered may not actually have the harmful origins we talked about, but we’re still not using it)

Today JD & Col are bursting with Happiness!
Happiness, what’s there to say? It’s great, right? Turns out Yes, it is, and JD and Col explore their whys and hows they find happiness.
After touching on ideas around shifting from exuberance to contentment, the impermanent happiness, and the dangers of toxic-positivity they play a game by sharing super-specific, happiness-adjacent emotions like…
Duende: The mysterious power we feel when a work of art deeply moves us.
And
Kilig: The feelings of butterflies in your stomach, usually when something romantic or cute takes place.
Or
Nakhes: The pride or delight seen in your child’s accomplishments, no matter how insignificant; naches; k’velen (Hebrew).
And they top it off by coining a few phrases themselves.

Today JD & Col take a tender look at Shame, in our longest episode yet.
Oh Shame, our old, uninvited friend, let’s get into it.
They talk about shame and social media, obsessive self-shame, the paradox of escaping the shame of addictions by burrowing deeper into those exact same addictions, and how nasty it gets when shame is inflicted on others, and a lot more.
They share the hope they find in Mia Mangus’ Transformative Justice accountability framework.
They also mention Dr Gabor Mate’s “Universal Experience of Addiction”.
JD recommends the Kate Bornstein’s amazing Hello, Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks, and Other Outlaws
Col mentions, semi-accurately The New Leaf Project, a one-time cash payment of $7,500 to folks experiencing recent homelessness in Vancouver.

Today JD & Col come together to talk about Loneliness.
How did loneliness become the one emotion equally discussed on the Goop, Jordan Peterson, and Brene Brown podcasts? Why are there Ministries of Loneliness cropping up over the world?
Is there a Loneliness epidemic? When is it a symptom of madness, and when is it a cause? Is it ever-present for us Mad folks?
Let’s discuss.
JD mentions the Vancouver Foundations 2017 report on Loneliness
They refer to a book they love called How To Do Nothing, and some that have some great parts like Bowling Alone and A History of Solitude.

Today JD & Col feel Empathy!
Our two friends both start off feeling pretty overwhelmed by… everything. They work to show empathy towards each other, then towards themselves, then explore empathy in it’s greater sense (and it is pretty great, isn’t it?)
They approach the limits of their empathy and disentangle ideas of self-martyrdom, hero complexes, clocking when the tank is empty, and the difference between understanding and excusing.
They mention the 15 Styles of Distorted Thinking and JD mentions the book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson

Today JD & Col take a good long look at Fear.
They try and tweeze out the difference between fear and danger, and how both can produce body shock for JD and what they do to stay grounded. From body shock they move to Collective Shock (what a trip).
JD reads an original piece of writing “Before It Was A Dog” and mentions the amazing book “The Body Is Not An Apology” by Sonia Renee Taylor.
And Col opens the Christmas present he was/is going to send JD, The Care Manifesto.
