Sharing Stories With Psychotherapist Al Galves

Season 1 · Episode 83

Monday, September 21, 2020 • Duration 58:00

Psychotherapist Al Glaves and I will talk about how the medical model of mental illnesses was created and how it is fed by the American Public's acceptance of its harmful and erroneous beliefs. We will speak about the factors that motivate the various "states of being" (in essence, troubled and troubling modes of behavior, expressions of thought and emotional reactions) that are ultimately diagnosed as "mental illnesses and disorders." Finally we will discuss the ways the public can protect itself from the lies of the psychiatric model and Big Pharma and still successfully participate in the process of psychotherapy.

How The False Stories of Mental Illness Can Steal Your Life. Part 3

Season 1 · Episode 82

Tuesday, September 15, 2020 • Duration 41:00

In Part 3 of this series I will discuss the differences between a relationship with a Psychotherapist or other mental health professional that will help rather than hurt those seeking help for emotional pain, difficult relationships or problems realizing a life that is creative and emotionally fulfilling. I will describe what to expect and look for in a relationship that goes beyond the destructive moral labels of psychiaric diagnoses and is based on person to person interactions defined by mutual respect, honesty, openess and lacking in any forms of coercion and intimidation. I refer to the former as psychotherapy which pretends to be a form of medicine and the latter as psycho"therapy" which recognizes, in one way or another, that the interaction is medical in name only. I will argue that many professionals do practice psycho"therapy" inspite of defining their efforts with medical terms such a "therapy," "patient," "mental illnesses and disorders," "symptoms" and the like. store.bookbaby.com/book/psychotherapy-and-the-stories-we-live-by

How The False Stories Of Mental Illness and Mental Health Can steal Your Life

Season 1 · Episode 79

Wednesday, September 9, 2020 • Duration 45:00

A person writes on Twitter "I had so many dreams. Had so many things I wanted to do. I was told I needed to wait for the right cocktail of meds ...so I could be balanced. Days turned into months and years. 20 years gone. Never got to start my life." In todays episode I shall describe how being drawn into the lies of the the mental health industry steals lives and what each person might learn that will allow them to avoid or escape from the traps of our current system of so-called mental health services. I will suggest ways of finding real psychological help by becoming an educated consumer of what is currently available and ultimately being your own life advocate. store.bookbaby.com/book/psychotherapy-and-the-stories-we-live-by

The Story of Race in America as told by Isabel Wilkerson

Season 1 · Episode 77

Wednesday, August 26, 2020 • Duration 34:00

Today I will discuss some of my reactions to Wilkerson's argument that race based on skin color formed the basis of a caste here in America. I will discuss the incredible, mind altering statement that "there are no black peope in Africa.'' I will discuss this from my own vantage point that had my grandparents not left Russia for America I would have most certainly died in a killing field or extermination camp because I belonged to the "Jewish Race." Here in America Judaism is a religion and my race is White. I feel certain this will be the first in a series of podcasts on this vitally important topic. www.store.bookbaby.com/book/psychotherapy-and-the-stories-we-live-by

The Mysterious Story of the Self

Season 1 · Episode 76

Monday, August 24, 2020 • Duration 41:00

Today I will discuss the nature of the self and try to convince my listeners that beginning a sentence that expresses a psychological fact should not be "I am" but "I do" thereby changing the nature of our selves from nouns to verbs. This small grammatical shift allows us to recognize the enormous difference between judging ourselves and judging our actions or behaviors. Once we judge ourselves as a noun the judgment becomes a permanent attribute of our identity and self. Once we judge our behaviors we have an opportunity to change any aspect of our behavior which we (or others) feel is wrong or harmful. The change from "I am" to "I do" also allows us to challenge the psychiatric nonsense of being lablelled as mentally ill or disordered and living with the belief that our selves are permenantly defective. For example, "I am Schizophrenic" changes to "I behave schizophrenically and I can always learn to behave differently." I will also discuss the relationship of our brain's activities to our understanding of self and selves.

The Destructive Myths of Race and Intelligence

Season 1 · Episode 75

Monday, August 10, 2020 • Duration 46:00

I will deconstruct the concepts of race and intelligence and describe how these basically unscientific and invalid concepts have been used to divide and dehumanize human beings and justify the enslavement and murder of millions as well as convince more millions into believing that race, rather than their humanity, is the primary definition of their identities. My guest today will be Dr Chuck Ruby, author of "Smoke and Mirrors: How You Are Being Fooled About Mental Illness" https://chuckruby.com See my book at store.bookbaby.com/book/psychotherapy-and-the-stories-we-live-by

Stories About Human Nature and How They Shape Politics

Season 1 · Episode 74

Monday, July 27, 2020 • Duration 27:00

Are human beings the products of their genes, how they are treated by other human beings in their environments or by a combination of both? Are some human beings basically good and some basically evil? Do we have any control as to how human beings turn out and if so how can we describe that control? I do not pretend to know the answers to these questions but I will try and clarify how to approach these thorny, but very important issues. How do the answers to these questions shape the politics practised in any given family, social group or society?

Season 1 · Episode 73

Monday, July 20, 2020 • Duration 43:00

A critical discussion about Mary Trump's psychological insights about how her family's dynamics shaped the personalities of its members. Dr. Trump is a clincal psychologist and provides a well written, easy to read, and in my opinion an important volume on her theories concerning the rise of Donald Trump and the fall of her father, Freddy, Donald's older brother. I will frame my discussion to include the question as to why and how Donald Trump became the personal savior to millions of American Citizens. www.bookbaby.com/book/psychotherapy-and-the-stories-we-live-by
