When a person is dealing with a stressful situation, they will resort to many different copying mechanisms. In this episode, the panel dives into Intellectualization as one of those mechanisms. They look at how this can go past coping and will become a defensive mechanism if it is not addressed when it happens. This means that when in a relationship, intellectualization can cause stress to build between two people because the emotions that you are feeling are not properly expressed.

We have recently talked a lot about the mental health trauma that organized religion can put people through, but not much has been mentioned about how politics can do the same thing. There is so much information and a lot of opinions that it is hard to know what is right and what is wrong. Then when someone takes the time to vote, they put a lot of pressure on themselves to vote for the “right” person.

In a day and time where everyone is looking to get social media attention, we discuss the topic of How to Accept Yourself.  They look at how addressing this can help you attain the goals you are trying to attain in therapy. While this seems simple, there are barriers that you will face with trying to deal with acceptance of yourself. After addressing the barriers, the panel provides some solutions that you can use to help you.

We did it!!! The show has made it to Episode 200. We introduce the new panel of therapists to accompany Chris. Each therapist is at a different part of their career and they each focus on different areas. This means we will have some great conversations about the different topics of the show regarding mental health.

To start off we will talk about EMDR and how it is used to help deal with traumatic experiences. Is it really the answer that some say it is to help patients deal with emotional distress?

During the research for the show, Chris realized that even though he never addresses it during therapy he noticed how much your mental health state affects it.
