The Mental Breakdown

Welcome to The Mental Breakdown Morning Show! Each weekday morning, we will to help get your day off to a great start. As 2016 winds down, seniors (high school and college, alike) are keenly aware that graduation is right around the corner. For those in high school, this means that adulthood is right around the corner. Whether they are going to college or entering the workforce, in six short months, high school is over. For those in college, a similar transition will take place, leaving them to venture out into the workforce with a college degree. But what of this phenomenon of failure to launch and what does it mean for our future?

Welcome to The Mental Breakdown Morning Show! Each weekday morning, we will to help get your day off to a great start. A few weeks ago, we completed a two week series on relationships. And last week, we talked about technology. The interactions of these two issues, though, create new problems. What happens when a relationship is ending, but the partners stay virtually connected?

Welcome to The Mental Breakdown Morning Show! Each weekday morning, we will to help get your day off to a great start. Last weekend, Dr. Berney attended a Holiday Party held at a banquet hall in a local Inn. While there, he spoke with a woman from the Inn who told him about two employees, one in management and one on the staff, with sensory limitations - one is blind and the other deaf. Such stories are heart warming, as they demonstrate the essence of perseverance despite apparent limitations. On this morning's show, we talk about overcoming limitations and how obstacles only stop us if we refuse to look for a way around them.

Monday - Weekday Start-up

Tuesday - Mental Health in the News

How do we learn to empathize? How do we know when someone is being sarcastic or flirting or confrontational? All of these skills are gained through social interactions. Trial and error. We have an interaction, interpret it, respond, and experience the reaction from the other person. If they respond positively, then we interpreted their intent correctly. If they respond negatively, well... it is back to the interpretation drawing board. But this learning only happens with face-to-face interactions. When you can see the other person's micro-expressions and combine those physical cues with the tone, inflection, and content from the verbal cues. Healthy social interactions are difficult and require practice. But what happens when the majority of our interactions turn virtual? What happens when your primary method of communication is via instant messaging and texting?

In today's podcast, Dr. Berney and Dr. Richard discuss the impact of technology of social and emotional development. They review the effect technology has had on the development of empathy and what parents can and should do to help prevent this from happening to their children.
