Last week we talked about daydreams.... this week let’s talk about the dreams we have night. What are dreams? Can it be helpful to reflect on and interpret dreams? And what can be done to help with nightmares? We each have different perspectives on this one, so polite debate ensues. Send your dream to [email protected] and we'll do our best to interpret it (anonymously, of course)!

Daydreaming, zoning out, and dissociation. What are the differences and when is there a cause for concern? In our first #viral episode of 2021 we examine those times when we're not fully present, for better or worse, by choice or not. Of course we mentioned the relationship between trauma and dissociation. We also dip into 2021 fatigue, our shared love of France, and Ryan's boring lectures.

Reflection time! Looking back on 2020, what themes did we notice in our clients (both positive and negative)? What were the common challenges? How did clients persevere? How can people move through the next few months? All of this along with New Year's Eve traditions and an exploration of the psyche of Olaf from Frozen.

The MHBCP is thrilled to be ambushed by Dr. Joe Dilley, screen time expert and author of The Game is Playing Your Kid. What is the best way to manage screens with kids? How much should we monitor their online activities? If they're on computers for school, how can we limit their social time? Is internet addiction a real thing? All of these questions and more as we hosted our very first guest. (It really was an ambush, btw. Only Ryan knew about this.)

What is burnout? How can we distinguish it from just being tired or stressed? What can we do about it? Burnout is one of the top mental health issues from 2020, impacting work, family, even physical wellbeing. We also discuss mummering, a practice that may bring a few nightmares to our yuletide.
