Hate and the Internet

The Internet is supposed to be a place of information gathering and support. We pay our bills online and we occasionally post about our lives. This open honesty should not invite a keyboard terrorist to verbally eviscerate you. Haters and cruel statements can be extremely challenging. We know that they probably wouldn’t say this to your face. How can humans talk to other strangers in this way? We will go over the hate and stress of this world that has led to this angry nation. Can’t we be nice? Please…..?

Body Dysmorphia and Rumination

Body Dysmorphia Disorder is the excessive focus on one’s appearance or a flaw the patient finds within themselves. This can be something small that others haven’t noticed or seen. To the person with BDD it’s all they can focus on. If body dysmorphia becomes overwhelming the person can become withdrawn and even suicidal. The patient will also carry a lot of anxiety and self esteem issues. BDD affects men and women almost equally. Over 2% of the population suffers from BDD. Today we will focus on the mindset that affects daily life and how to get help. CBT and retraining the mind to process one’s self positively are key. So, join us on another fantastic voyage into the mind!

Kids, Social Media, and Suicide

How often do your children use social media? All day or part of the day. The way you monitor this activity is very important to your child’s mental health and safety.

In this episode, we will talk about the issues related to social media. They can be detrimental if not addressed early. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in kids ages 15-24. Social media is a large part of this epidemic. We will go over what to look for and how to set healthy safe boundaries with your kids.
