[00:00:15] Come on in, take a seat.
[00:00:21] Hey, everybody, welcome to episode three hundred and five of the virtual couch, I'm your host. Tony Overbay am a licensed marriage and family therapist. A certified mine will have a coach, writer, speaker, husband, father of four ultra marathon runner and creator of the Path Back, an online pornography recovery program that is helping people reclaim their lives from the effects of turning to pornography as a coping mechanism. And last week I did an episode. It was part one of two. Today is not part two that'll be coming in a week from now, but I did part one of two of just how to get the shame out of turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms in general. Yes, we were talking about pornography, but as the feedback that I got attested to that the turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms does fit for anything, whether it's turning to food or your phone or binge watching shows on any of the streaming services. So we've got Part two coming up next week and I have received several questions. So if you have questions, go to Tony over bakam and click on the contact me or contact us or some sort of contact form and feel free to ask your questions. If there are things that I can answer and I will cover those in next week's episode. But today we are going to talk about context and I have been speaking a lot lately and I have been starting most of the talks. I usually have some fun facts about the differences of men and women and how their brain works, and that's always fun because we really do work a little bit differently.
[00:01:42] And I'll give you an example of that. Let me let me talk about one that I share often. Actually, I'll give you a couple. These are really fun. And the first one is neuropsychologist Professor Reuben Gur of the University of Pennsylvania used brain scan tests to show that when a man's brain is in a resting state, at least 70 percent of its electrical electrical activity is shut down. Scans of women's brains showed 90 percent activity during the same state, he said, confirming that women are constantly receiving and analyzing information from their environment. And then my bit that follows is that if I would make the joke that if I'm working with a couple and I've been working with the guy in particular, so when his wife turns to him and says, Hey, what are you thinking? And he says nothing, that there's actual data that shows that he's not really thinking of much of anything that at least 70 percent of his electrical activity...
