This week on our shameless mental health podcast. . . Nick, Larissa, and Jeremy clarify some stuff about pornography. When does it become an addiction? Is there such a thing as healthy porn-watching? Is porn always bad for relationships? Why do my wrists hurt? Then, we talk about a common fear to many people: fear of change. It turns out it might not be so harmless to avoid change at all costs. Since life is constantly changing, a fear of change means constant anxiety. Let's talk about ways we can better adapt to change.

This week on our shameless mental health podcast. . . Nick, Larissa, and Jeremy answer another listener's advice questions! We look into the topic of finding balance and rest while also being very driven and performance-oriented. Is it healthy for us to pursue excellence? Is it okay to be average? What if we can't reach our goals? Should we motivate ourselves through high expectations and demands, or is there another way to aim to do something outstanding? Then, Jeremy shares his irrational fear of getting a brain tumor. Larissa asks questions to help him identify where it might have started. Was there something that sparked this fear? Is there anything he can do to overcome this irrational fear?

This week on our shameless mental health podcast. . . Nick, Larissa, and Jeremy answer another listener's advice questions. This time they ask if they should see a licensed therapist or go to a religious leader of their church for relationship advice. We were careful not to give our opinions so quickly but rather took our time considering this from all angles. What are the pros and cons of both? What would benefit the listener's life more? Then, Nick shares the story of his time in outpatient rehab, his struggle with alcohol, and his family history of substance abuse. He explains some of the pitfalls he encountered that may be the reason he struggled. Also, he bought a crossbow while intoxicated. This can't be good.

This week on our shameless mental health podcast. . . Nick, Larissa, and Jeremy answer a listener's advice questions. We answer questions related to mental illness in the workplace, relationship struggles, and how to find a good psychiatrist. Is medication for mental illness bad for you? Are there any medications that will not have serious side-effects? Will it change my personality if I start taking medication? How do I know it will work? What if my doctor prescribes me the wrong thing? We answer all these questions this week.  Then, we talk about "how to think for yourself" from the perspective of Bowenian Therapy. We go in-depth about an interesting concept called "differentiation of self," which blows Nick's mind. It has a lot to do with our struggles with our families and how one can become their own person while also maintaining a good relationship with the family.  CONTACT USHave a question or comment?

This week on our shameless mental health podcast. . . Nick laughs, making the episode worth listening to just to hear his laugh (seriously). We also talk about radical acceptance and how it can be used to reduce our anger, stress, and anxiety. Radical acceptance, in simple terms, is when you accept things out of your control. Is that red traffic light taking too long to turn green? Accepting it helps us relax until the light changes. This is a small example that can be applied to our lives to reduce our stress significantly.Then, we share stories of our own experiences in grief. Larissa takes us through the stages of grief and explains how to healthily apply them to emotionally process the death of a friend or a loved one. Grief affects us all, which is why this topic is too important to ignore.  CONTACT USHave a question or comment? Do you want us to answer your anonymous advice question on the podcast?

This week on our shameless mental health podcast. . . We explore the mental health effects of being tortured! Nick shares his personal experience of being waterboarded by some of his "friends." Is this torture justified to extract information? Is there a more humane way? What are the psychological and physical effects of waterboarding? Then, Larissa takes us into the mindset of a terrorist. What makes someone join a terrorist organization in the first place? We will discuss the strategies used by terrorist organizations to lure teenagers into their groups. We also compare the profile of a terrorist to the profile of a school shooter. As it turns out, there is a lot of overlap.   CONTACT USHave a question or comment?
