1 - What is Depression? Prevent it with Love and Friendship

Here we’ll connect your brain’s pleasure with your mind’s purpose by looking at how we experience pleasure in the brain. We’ll look at the brain chemical dopamine and the fun-loving limbic system. Why does nature give us pleasure at all? Food, drink, sex, shopping, it all feels good. Dr Heim takes us for a ride in the desert.

11 - Dopamine and the Brain (Addiction 2)

Ever wondered what goes on in your brain? Here we spend just a little time gasping in awe at the wonder of the universe contained inside your skull; some of what your brain can do, the numbers associated with the brain, the amazing things we don't understand.

S2E01 - Your Amazing Brain

As a psychiatrist sub-specializing in trauma, I have worked with many people battling borderline personality disorder. This podcast looks at FIVE INSIGHTS to help you manage and work through BPD to boost you on your journey through this illness. It’s worth knowing all you can to get on top of it, because you’re worth it.

S2E09: Borderline Personality Disorder: Five Insights to help you

Grab a cuppa, pop on your slippers, and enjoy. This fund-raising webinar is part of Zonta’s efforts to help prevent domestic violence. We look at mental health impacts of Covid-19, an outreach to university students, female psychiatric issues, and mental health “boosts” peppered with theatrical entertainment.

S4E02: A Covid look at Women’s Mental Health

First part in a new series on overcoming negative and useless thoughts. What we think and feel determine much of our quality of life. Here we look at what are thoughts, some scientific and philosophical ideas about thoughts and some models of the brain: it’s more like a vibrant city than a computer. The two basic thought skills are introduced.

S4E03: Overcome negative & useless thoughts (1) Intro & What are thoughts?

Negative thinking is not always useless and positive thinking is not always useful. This is discussed by an important story. We then start applying the two basic thought skills to help you notice your thoughts and start working on them to help make your mind a better place to be. We start chucking out some garbage: garbage out!

#40 Overcome negative & useless thoughts (2) Applying the two basic skills

Our thoughts have power over us because we believe them. Why not challenge their authority instead? Here we put thoughts through the wringer of logic, keeping emotions out, understanding what we can & can’t control, and proactively working on them. We find COLDMOP errors and correct them by ANT EATing.

#41 Overcome Negative and Useless Thoughts (3) Is my thinking correct?

By doing something active and useful we can make ourselves feel capable and useful. This generates a bunch of useful thoughts to crowd out the useless thoughts. It can be fun to BE A DOER and be rewarded for it. Acquire skills, exercise, and do anything useful to find an antidote to useless thoughts

#42 Overcome Negative and Useless Thoughts (4) Don’t just think, do something!

You are separate from your thoughts. They have their story, you have yours. They’re the problem, you’re not. Writing creative stories can equip you to capture your thoughts and direct them towards your preferred thought-life. You have important allies in your battle against useless thoughts: your values, your skills, and people who care.

#43 Overcome Negative and Useless Thoughts (5) Tell the story of your thoughts.

Useless thoughts? So what. Leave them alone. Let them be. Let them sulk in a corner of your mind while you get on with what you want to do in life. Easier said than done, but it’s possible if you can accept your thoughts, separate from your thoughts, value your values, commit to living out your values and noticing it all

#44 Overcome Negative and Useless Thoughts (6) What if I just accept my useless thoughts?

We’ll expose the roots of your useless thoughts. Are they from your childhood? Did someone else put them there? Are they driven from your unconscious mind? Psychoanalysis has some insights that are relevant to us here. We explore six insights for you to understand, accept, resolve, forgive and let go so you can choose to concentrate what’s useful.

#45 Overcome Negative and Useless Thoughts (7) A-hah! So that’s the root-cause of my thoughts.
