In my continuing efforts to provide accurate and helpful information about mental health and mental illness, I'm going to discuss the "cure" for mental illness, though this is definitely a misnomer, as the cure for mental illness isn't that straightforward or simple. Let's talk about it!

This episode is all about self-betrayal. I talk further about how the most important person in your life is looking at you in the mirror. You can't have good mental health as long as your relationship with yourself is in the tank. Let's talk in depth about more true to yourself with some quality shadow work journal prompts to help you tackle this issue.

Ideas like spirituality can come with a lot of baggage. We're not talking about God or religion here. Instead, I'm defining the most important aspect of being human and being alive and how those things have been edged out of therapy. Before you judge, give it a listen.

This episode came flying out of me off the cuff. This is a topic I've wanted to approach for a long time but I've struggled to know the best way to start talking about a loaded and deep topic. In this case, it helped to dive into when I couldn't sleep. This episode is quite raw and honest. I break down some of my thoughts on why love is dead. Just some of them. I also dive into my theory on the competitive vs cooperative relationship dispositions.

There's a lesser known idea out there that you need to spend time being selfish in a certain way in order to become a better person in the world. In this episode, I explore the idea of positive selfishness or the type of selfishness that is required for becoming a better person. I also talk about exactly what this looks like and how to practice it. The hardest part is fearing the judgments of other people.

I'm keeping with the shadow work and subconscious in this episode because of how important it is for real growth and change. Building off the "shattered minds" episode, I talk about how all the emotions and pain that we pack away can take on it's own form that I call the dark ego. I talk about what it is, how it forms and of course, what to do about it.
