S15E7 - Kids on Social Media 36:13

8 days ago36:13

36:13

Send us a text Social media has significant negative effects on youth, including increased rates of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, often due to cyberbullying, exposure to unrealistic body images, and comparison to curated online lives. It can also lead to poor sleep habits, addiction, and a decline in physical activity due to overuse, which often involves spending more than three hours a day on these platforms. Conversely, social media can offer some benefits like enhanced communication, information sharing, and networking opportunities. Negative effects Mental health: Social media use is linked to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Body image and self-esteem: Exposure to edited, "picture-perfect" images can lead to negative body image, body dissatisfaction, and low self-esteem. Cyberbullying: Platforms can be a venue for online harassment, which is linked to mental health problems, including suicidal thoughts. Addiction and behavior: The dopamine-releasing nature of social media can lead to compulsive use and addiction, and the developing adolescent brain is particularly sensitive to social rewards. Sleep disruption: Spending excessive time on social media, especially late at night, disrupts sleep patterns. Unrealistic expectations: It can create a distorted perception of reality and foster unrealistic views of other people's lives. Positive effects Communication and connection: It can help youth connect with others, build communities, and stay in touch. Information and education: Social media can be a tool for information sharing and provide educational opportunities. Networking: It can offer networking opportunities for young people. Awareness: It can help individuals become more aware of certain topics and social issues.

S15E6 - Misconduct Becoming Permissable 41:25

15 days ago41:25

41:25

Send us a text The "broken windows" theory suggests that minor signs of disorder, like a broken window, can lead to more serious crime, and its application to law enforcement has been linked to police misconduct. This happens because aggressively policing minor offenses, such as fare-dodging or jaywalking, can lead to stops and arrests of innocent people, potentially causing more harm than the original offenses. The aggressive approach can lead to complaints about police misconduct and has been criticized for targeting marginalized communities disproportionately. Alternative perspectives and solutions Focus on environment: Some argue that the original theory's focus on the physical environment is sound, but the prescription was faulty. Community-led solutions: Instead of aggressive policing, some suggest investing in community-led solutions and neighborhood improvement programs, such as rehabilitating vacant lots and abandoned buildings. Organizational accountability: For organizations, preventing misconduct involves clear policies, strong leadership, and a culture of ethics and compliance, rather than a "broken windows" disciplinary strategy. Critique of the theory: Critics point to studies that have found no link between minor disorder and serious crime, suggesting the theory is flawed and its application has led to negative consequences for communities. Other applications Workplace misconduct: The theory is sometimes discussed in the context of corporate misconduct, though its application to white-collar crime is debated. Sexual assault enforcement: The "broken windows" theory has also been proposed as a way to address the enforcement gap in sexual assault cases by consistently enforcing laws against low-level street harassment that meets the elements of assault.

S15E4 - A Fright To Remember 40:43

29 days ago40:43

40:43

Send us a text Halloween started with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of winter. The Celts believed the boundary between the living and the dead blurred on the night of October 31st, allowing spirits to roam the earth. They lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off evil spirits. Over time, this evolved with the influence of Christianity, which designated November 1st as All Saints' Day (or All-hallows), and the night before became known as All-Hallows' Eve. The tradition was brought to America by immigrants, where it blended with other customs to develop into the modern holiday celebrated today with activities like trick-or-treating. Ancient origins Samhain: The festival celebrated the end of the harvest and the start of winter, a time of year associated with death. Spirit world: The Celts believed spirits would walk the earth on this night, and they lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off evil spirits. Offerings: They would also leave food outside their homes to appease benign spirits. Christian influence All Saints' Day: In the 8th century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1st as a day to honor all saints. All-Hallows' Eve: This day was also known as "All-hallows," and the night before it began to be called "All-Hallows' Eve," which eventually became Halloween. Blending traditions: All Saints' Day incorporated some of Samhain's traditions, like bonfires and dressing in costumes. Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) began over 3,000 years ago with ancient Mesoamerican cultures, like the Aztecs, who saw death as a continuation of life. These indigenous rituals honored the dead and involved ceremonies to honor the goddess of death, Mictēcacihuātl. After the Spanish conquest, these traditions blended with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, evolving into the modern celebration that takes place on November 1st and 2nd This week we would like to highlight Nursa if you would like to learn more or donate click the link below https://nursa.com/blog/halloween-and-mental-health-best-self-care-ideas-in-2022 Please leave a comment and review our episode and give some feedback on what we can improve on!

S15E3 - Hobbies, Life, and Personal Info 37:49

5 weeks ago37:49

Send us a text Engaging in hobbies is strongly associated with better health, happiness, and life satisfaction, particularly for older adults. The benefits included fewer depressive symptoms and higher self-reported health, and the effects were universal across different countries. While correlation does not prove causation, the findings suggest hobbies provide creative, emotional, and cognitive benefits that are linked to improved well-being. Key findings Improved mental health: Individuals with hobbies reported fewer depressive symptoms and higher life satisfaction. Better overall health: Participants with hobbies reported better self-perceived health. Universally beneficial: The positive associations between hobbies and well-being were found across different countries and cultures. Bidirectional relationship: The study noted a feedback loop, where hobbies contribute to well-being, and good health allows for more hobby engagement. Important considerations The study was observational, meaning it shows a link between hobbies and better health, but does not prove that hobbies are the direct cause. The benefits are linked to the psychological and emotional aspects of hobbies, such as creativity, self-expression, and relaxation. Recent research also suggests that gentler hobbies, such as gardening and social clubs, may be particularly beneficial for well-being. A separate study found that having a hobby is linked to a reduction in all-cause mortality risk.

S15E1 - A Behavior 34:04

7 weeks ago34:04

34:04

Send us a text Behaviorism is a school of psychology emphasizing that environmental factors shape all observable behavior, which is learned through conditioning, rather than internal mental states. It focuses on principles like classical conditioning (associating stimuli) and operant conditioning (learning from consequences through reinforcement and punishment). Key figures include John B. Watson, who advocated for psychology to be an objective science based on what could be seen, and B.F. Skinner, who developed operant conditioning. Key Aspects Focus on the Observable: Behaviorists study actions that can be directly observed and measured, often through statistical and quantitative methods. Environmental Influence: They prioritize the role of environmental factors and learning in shaping behavior. Application in Various Fields: The behavioralist approach has been applied to understand animal and human behavior in psychology, economics, political science, and more. Rejection of Internal States (in some fields): Early behavioralists in psychology and political science sometimes rejected the study of unobservable internal phenomena like thoughts or emotions, though this restriction later led to new approaches. Economic Context: In behavioral economics, a behavioralist believes that cognitive biases and other psychological factors play a significant role in economic decisions, leading to market inefficiencies. Types of Conditioning Classical Conditioning: A process where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a naturally occurring response, leading to the neutral stimulus eliciting the response on its own. Operant Conditioning: Learning through consequences, where behaviors followed by reinforcement (rewards) become more probable, and behaviors followed by punishment become less probable.

S14E12 - A Worry Stone 32:33

8 weeks ago32:33

32:33

Send us a text Worry stones don't have a single origin but evolved from folk practices in ancient cultures, including Greece, Tibet, Ireland, and Native American tribes, who used smooth, naturally eroded stones to soothe anxiety and provide comfort through repetitive rubbing motions. While these early stones were often found in nature, the concept expanded over time to include intentionally crafted stones, sometimes made from specific gemstones, which became popular in alternative healing practices in the 1970s. Ancient Origins Ancient Greece: The concept has roots in ancient Greece, where people used smooth, sea-worn stones for relaxation and to soothe anxiety. Tibet and Ireland: Variations of worry stones were also used in Tibet and Ireland. In Ireland, for example, stones like green Connemara marble were used for good luck. Native American Tribes: Some Native American tribes used worry stones, sometimes made of quartz, passing them down through generations as sacred objects to maintain a sense of connection. How They Work Repetitive Motion: The core idea is the rhythmic motion of rubbing the stone with your thumb, which calms the mind. Pressure Points: This motion is believed to activate pressure points in the hand, helping to release tension and stress. Mindfulness: Worry stones can act as a grounding tool, allowing you to focus your attention and disrupt unhealthy coping mechanisms like nail-biting. Evolution of Worry Stones Natural vs. Crafted: Initially, people used any smooth, naturally eroded stone. Over time, more intentionally crafted stones were made from various materials, including gemstones. Modern Use: Worry stones became more prominent in the alternative medicine and New Age movements starting in the 1970s, seen as a natural aid for stress and a tool for focus during meditation This week we would like to highlight AFSP if you would like to learn more or donate click the link below https://afspwalks.donordrive.com/participants/3420783 Please leave a comment and review our episode and give some feedback on what we can improve on!

Send us a text Going back to therapy is a courageous and normal part of the self-care journey, signaling strength and self-awareness rather than failure. You should return if you're experiencing old symptoms, a new significant life event, or just want to check in with yourself. To prepare, identify your goals, decide whether to see a previous therapist or find a new one, and prepare talking points to share your current feelings and recent experiences. Steps to Take When Returning 1. Reflect on your break and reasons for returning: Think about what led to your previous hiatus and what you hope to gain from therapy now. 2. Define your goals: What do you want to achieve in therapy this time around? Having clear intentions can help the conversation. 3. Choose your therapist: Decide whether to contact your previous therapist or seek a new one who is a better fit for your current needs. 4. Prepare your talking points: Be ready to share your recent life events, current feelings, and what you hope to focus on in your sessions. 5. Communicate openly: Be honest with your therapist about your goals, feelings, and any unresolved issues from the past. Important Mindsets It's not a failure: Therapy is not a one-time fix but an ongoing process. Returning is a sign of strength and self-care. Give yourself grace: Be compassionate with yourself for restarting the process. Trust your instincts: If you feel you need therapy, trust that intuition as a valid reason to seek support.

Send us a text To cope with financial stress, create a realistic budget and financial plan to gain control over your finances, build an emergency fund for unexpected events, and prioritize paying off debt. Address the emotional impact of stress through self-care, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques like meditation. For more complex situations, seek support from a financial advisor or therapist and remember to communicate openly with supportive friends and family. Practical Financial Strategies Create a Budget and Financial Plan: Outline your income and expenses to understand your financial situation and create a game plan to track spending and achieve goals. Build an Emergency Fund: Set aside money for unexpected expenses, which provides peace of mind and prevents further financial difficulties. Tackle Debt: Develop a strategy to pay down debt, focusing on prioritizing repayment to gain more control. Reduce Expenses: Identify areas where you can cut back on non-essential spending to free up money. Find Ways to Increase Income: Explore additional income streams or ways to boost your earnings to improve your financial situation. The vicious cycle: Financial stress leads to poor mental health (anxiety, depression), which reduces productivity and decision-making. Reduced productivity and poor decision-making can worsen financial difficulties. This, in turn, increases financial stress, creating a downward spiral. How to break the cycle: Acknowledge the problem: Recognize that financial stress is a significant issue impacting your well-being. Seek support: Talk to a trusted person or a healthcare professional about your financial worries and mental health. Stay engaged: Continue to see friends, stay active, and maintain your daily routine to foster a sense of control.
