Today on the show we're talking about supplementing your therapy with every day actions and advice. We talk a bit about health and wellness as well as sharing some of your therapy experience with those closest to you. Therapy doesn't have to live within a vacuum, you can share those experiences with others, what you've learned and apply simple habits to automate a bit of your life to get the most out your ailing brain.

Today on the show we're talking about celebrating the 200th episode of the show! It's been a long journey to get this point and I wanted to celebrate that with a whole lot of thank yous! We're also talking about targeting depression in marketing. Many life coaches, health and wellness types and amateur mental health speakers can misinterpret depression as sadness, guilt, lack of motivation and grief. So, marketers see that as an opportunity for change and start using phrasing like "I can cure yo...

Today on the show we're talking with Dr. Jennifer Bahr, whom I believe is the first doctor we've had on the show. How exciting! We're talking all about naturopathic medicine, clearing up some misconceptions and talking about the goals that she and her team are working towards. I'm certainly open to different perspectives and this episode gave me a new perspective I didn't think I'd go for, so hey, this one's fun. Enjoy!

Today on the show we're talking about self-diagnosis and the dangers associated. I do everything I can on this show to be clear that I recommend going to therapy and getting help professionals. I consider myself to be the gateway drug in that scenario. I, myself, have put too much emphasis on my type of mental illness and sometimes live within those boundaries instead of finding ways to grow. So, let's lie on the couch and chat about that a bit on the latest episode of DOPEamine! http://www.dope...

Today on the show I decided to change up the format a bit. The opening segment is a little longer and the subsequent segments are broken up a bit. I wanted to opportunity to talk about varying topics and break things up as needed. Today's topic is my baby boy. I wanted to make an episode as a keepsake for my infant son so that in 20 years he can listen to this episode and hopefully gain some life lessons to take with him. There are a lot of challenges in the relationship with seeing him and I'm ...

Today on the show we're talking about the mechanic who recently stole a commercial plane in Seattle and the transcripts that transpired between himself and Air Traffic Control. On the surface it looks like an unhinged man making a hasty decision but when you listen to the conversation it becomes a bit darker and a lot sadder to realize that he was going through a bout of mania that ended his life. I relate to some parts of my story which involved me walking in front of a bus. It's a heavy episod...

Today on the show we're talking about the four agreements, a concept of Toltec knowledge from the book of the same name by Don Miguel Ruiz. The Four Agreements changed my perspective forever by giving my tools to both take advantage of my individuality but also get over myself a bit. These are very simple concepts such as Being Impeccable with Your Word, Don't Take Anything Personally, Don't Make Assumptions, and Always Do Your Best. We take some time to break all that down on today's episode of...

Today on the show we're talking about existentialism and flipping the script on its head. We often think about the depth and vastness of the universe when it comes to existentialism but how often do we look in the other direction? The sheer fact that we exist is incredible and can be a way to give ourselves an honest look at what we have and can appreciate in our lives. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Today on the show I'm joined by Molly of The Darling Rage to talk about false affirmations and how they can do more harm than good. We can all do a little more than just tell ourselves that something is going well but look at what is actually going well versus what needs to be worked on. We approach it from different perspectives as a thinker and a feeler. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/happychemicals/message Get full access to DOPEamine at dopeamine.substac...

Today on the show we're talking about that point in mania when you're starting to feel good and productive, when does that become dangerous? It's not always easily to find that point but it's certainly worth looking at to see if we can break it down. I talk about my experience with this and what signs I start to see as I seep into mania.

Today on the show we're talking about Infidelity. It's a bit of a touchy topic but one that is connected to mental health and one that is connected to my personal story.

Today on the show we're talking about social suicide. What I mean by that is using mental health or introversion as an excuse to let go of humans entirely as a means to distant yourself from harming or being harmed by others. I've done it in my past, I've done it lately and can see how bad it's been for me. So let's turn this ship around and listen to the latest episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about the idea of using the phrasing "right now" to help focus negative feelings and outlets in your day to day world. We tend to apply too much pressure to terms like happiness as if one moment of happiness will define the rest of our lives but acknowledging the immediate feeling helps ground those feelings in the moment, which applies to negative feelings as well. So stop what you're doing, close those weary eyes and listen to another lovely episode of DOPEamine...

Today on the show we're talking about seriousness. Being serious all the time...what good does it do? Part of enjoying life is having fun! I know we're all dealing with difficult things, being creative is difficult and starting a business is difficult but to be brooding like batman all the time isn't going to move the needle either. Part of growth is sometimes letting go and having yourself a good time. So don't worry so much. We got this on the latest episode of DOPEamine! More Episodes: http:/...

Today we're talking about the concept of common sense and why I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist. Not only do we talk about why it doesn't exist but why the concept is holding you back from better understanding yourself and the people around you. This one might feel a little difficult if you're so used to just coasting through the vocabulary you use in life or don't like to think too deeply about this stuff but I assume you do, because you're here!

Today on the show I have Bob Dudley with me to discuss a few major topics, one of them being the definition of success. Bob is the product of a difficult youth but with natural ambition to create his own path he was able to take charge of his life and create a new life for himself. Through persistence and a drive to be something more than destiny had in story for him, he made every effort to build something for himself. He's since done that multiple times and now coaches others on how they can d...

Today on the show we're talking about a pretty heavy topic. We're discussing Mental Illness and Violence. Specifically we're discussing domestic violence and the excuses that both parties make for the continued behavior. Whether it's love, the perception of love, upbringing or other external factors that are keeping people from learning about themselves...it's important to realize that abuse always involves having to take personal responsibility for your behavior. Mental illness is not an excuse...

Today on the show we're talking about apathy with being social. Many of us are introverts, many of us don't have the energy to deal with many aspects of the outside world. So, should we feel terrible about that? The short answer is NO! We shouldn't ever feel bad about the boundaries we need to employ. But it's also not always that easy because we don't want to shun ourselves completely from the outside world. So, don't worry, we'll talk all about it on the latest episode of DOPEamine!

This is the one year episode! I've been on the platform for a year, since Anchor 2.0 and life been make a 180-turn ever since. Anchor has allowed me to quickly execute podcasts, speak about topics I never thought I could, and connect with people I never thought I could. I met my lady-friend, @thedarlingrage on this platform and as the platform grows, I'm feeling the perks of that as well.

Females are a bit more difficult to diagnose as having ADHD so we speak a bit the cognitive aspects of ADHD. We also talk about her podcast and some of the topic she speaks about.

Today on the show we're talking about replacing apologies with affirmations. Specifically talking about replacing apologies that come from insecurities and assumptions.

I talk a bit about my past as a difficult learner and how I've been able to take the reigns as an adult to figure out ways to nurture my intelligence without feeling like I'm not able to keep up with the expectations of others. Learning my own style of acquiring information has allowed me to make for lost time in a school system that wasn't focused on my individual needs, which absolutely had a negative effect on my upbring...
