what is after severe trauma 44:41

4+ y ago44:41

44:41

We devoted this episode entirely to one listener's question about what lies after severe trauma.

helping with anxiety 48:06

4+ y ago48:06

48:06

I have bad adhd and while I certainly experience anxiety along with my depression, I have taken for granted my understanding (or more accurately lack thereof) in other people who experience really serious anxiety. So, I wanted to take this opportunity with Dr. Nick to own up to how I can make anxiety for my loved ones worse because I don't really u…

violence for the nonviolent 1:20:11

4+ y ago1:20:11

1:20:11

Heyoooo so as the world continues in its revolutionary spirit and reactionary status quo fascists become increasingly belligerent and violent, I wanted to talk about violence again. And specifically why I think it's worth investigating violence especially for those of us who are disinclined to it. For those of us whom the idea of hurting another pe…

radicalizing 56:27

4+ y ago56:27

56:27

No one's free unless everyone's free. I had a lengthy mini brain breather at the beginning of this and then you can hear me and Dr. Nick go OFF about the state of the world. I do not believe we can expect true mental health if we are not living in accordance with our values and trying to liberate the oppressed around us, y'know? So. This is kind of…

Yes this starts off with Dr. Nick and I talking about basically things inspired by all the weirdos of the world who want everyone to die for haircuts or whatever and then someone asks a question about Family Systems Therapy and specifically an offshoot of that called Internal Family Systems Therapy and it gets into a discussion of less orthodox or …

1:12:26

As usual we talk about a bunch of stuff and I have ADHD real bad y'know so I can't remember like all of what we talked about nor can I remember always to take notes about it so I tend to just remember the thing that stood out to me the most which might not even be the biggest part of the ep but IDK that's just the nature of me and this thing I gues…

Hi! I'm rapidly just posting last week's show because it's time for THIS week's show again and, y'know, what even is "time management"?? On this episode, after I figure out some technical problems (natch) Dr. Nick and I got into some discussions about, well, politics. Politics feel like a third rail for me on this program sometimes, because we're t…

1:01:52

Heellloooo everyone, we're back with some more livestream goodness from the depths of quarantine.

We've returned to a new year with the old Our Good Bad Brain format. I talk a bit about the new year and facing our cycles of relearning, and then we get into a really nice talk with Maria from Australia.

thanksgiving narratives: stolen truck, new prozac, old stories 40:22

40:22

Hey y'all. A bunch has happened in my personal life since we last spoke, so here's me reflecting on a bunch of it. I started a new antidepressant after a bit of an episode possibly precipitated by some cannabis sobriety. My truck got stolen.

Thanks for being here with me while I think through it, as always I hope you…

you have to buy into yourself before other people do with Brent Coble 1:18:02

5y ago1:18:02

1:18:02

Hi. I have a conversation here for you to listen to again today. Brent Coble is on the pod, he's got ADHD and depression and what he describes (i'm paraphrasing) the soup of being a person. He makes stuff for a living, both in a hands on way and more in the development, executive side of things. If you suffer from any kind of impostor syndrome stuf…

Is mental illness causing mass shootings? 1:34:16

5y ago1:34:16

1:34:16

Mental illness and mass shootings. When people talk about a "mental health" problem in this country every time there's a mass shooting, it hits our ears and minds in a way that seems correct. Surely one must be mentally ill to commit such an atrocity!? This is especially a favorite argument to make ahead of any sort of gun restriction, a sort of gu…

why dogs make us feel good 26:08

Why do dogs help our mental health? Why do they make us feel good? Learn a little about your brain, the effect of boops and bleps upon it, and why even emotional support peacocks and kangaroos might be good for your own Good Bad Brain. For regular listeners: I'm trying something different. I'm sure interviews with guests, with listener guests, and …

56:46

I thought about calling this one "bad brain bad world" but that seemed so bleak. Even though this one IS kind of dark and DOES involve truly evil family history I learned about and I talk a lot about how bad the world is and how much it hurts be a person so often but hey, that's what it's about sometimes! I'd be fake as fuck if I was sunny all the …

Here we are here we are here we are. I talk with Clayton Farris, who is very much a kindred spirit. Also a performer, and I'll warn you there tare more ACTORS to come on this show but here's the thing: aren't we ALL pretending to be people? So doesn't it make sense that people who professionally pretend to be people would be interesting to talk to …

Hi my good bad brain friends. We have officially made it to year 2 of this thing. I thought I'd kick off with a brain breather.

ariana, jim, and deep rest - mgbb 51 34:40

34:40

Here is the full text that Jim tweeted at Ariana and I had some reaction to: "The word 'depressed' can be spoken as DEEP REST We can choose to view depression not as a mental illness but as a state of Deep Rest, a spiritual exhaustion that we enter into when we are de-pressed (pressed down) by the weight of the false self, the mask, the mind-made s…

Hi! Okay, today is our first listener interview. Lyndsay Cromwell called in all the way from the Netherlands.

being a ghost - mgbb 49 30:32

5+ y ago30:32

30:32

This is a brain breather. The brain breathers are becoming more abstract and also more personal, I suppose. I started intending to be exploring certain feelings of fractured identity and ended up explaining a kind of emptiness I've been experiencing. I hope you get something out of spending time here in this odd little jacuzzi of my brain juices. S…

facing mortality and whether or not we can change with kevin abrams - MGBB 48 2:01:49

2:01:49

Today I talk with Kevin Abrams, a producer and writer and generally creative fellow. I intended to talk about facing mortality, a thing he experienced this last year due to illness, and the conversation really ends up being about whether or not we, and people we know and love every day, are actually capable of change. I enjoyed this immensely, I ho…

the virtues of being alone, solitude, stoicism, some elusive concept of dignity - MGBB 47 58:18

5+ y ago58:18

58:18

Here's a brain breather, a solo ep this week. I'm thinking a lot about being alone. There is such importance in us fomenting connection and togetherness and reminding each other we are not alone in our existence, our joys and struggles alike. But what about being alone? I have come to love my aloneness and find great value in it, when I use to fear…

I received a tweet that read "podcast idea: an episode for people who are really struggling with their mental stuff and want to feel like someone cares about them. it would be super chill, like "wow our brain sucks sometimes. you will feel better, but in the meantime, i am here for you" as someone who doesn't have friends, i don't have anyone to he…

MGBB 44 - "quiet ones" with melisa monts 1:27:58

5+ y ago1:27:58

1:27:58

Today Melisa Monts, who is a wonderful writer-director-producer, joins me on My Good Bad Brain and we talk a lot around this idea of being "quiet". You know what I mean? Like the idea of someone who isn't uncomfortable being quiet and holding their space, those people are assigned ideas like they're wallflowers, solitary, brooding, meek... Quiet On…

MGBB 43 - helping others is helping yourself 47:16

5+ y ago47:16

47:16

I had a wacky week that involved a lot of circumstances that put my focus outside of myself and feel I had some revelations about the mechanisms of our powerful brains and perhaps some ways to hack these atypical brains of ours to improve our lived experiences and live serving the people and things we love. Also, here's a link to a fellow listener'…

Today my buddy Dario Civon comes by and we talk about this book he wrote, I'm Not Moving Out, I'm Not Getting a Job, Screw You: A Millennial Field Guide + Gen Z, and specifically about this odd moment in history and what it seems to do for existential questions and mental health in general. Dario is someone I know through online, he's someone who r…

MGBB 40 - dialogue, discussion, debate with mama terry 1:59:16

6y ago1:59:16

1:59:16

Today was our first attempt at a remote interview! It mostly went pretty well, I think. I'm sort of weird and listless today, my grandpa died last night and death puts me in a weird detached headspace, but anyway, Terry is amazing, we sort of recreate our first conversation where Terry introduced me to the concept of dialogue vs. discussion vs. deb…

Cory DeMeyers joins me today, he's an amazing parkour athlete and stunt performer and coordinator.

To other children of divorce out there, I hope you don't feel too attacked by the specificity of our experien…

MGBB 37 - RESOLUTIONS (on the road edition!) 38:45

I'm solo for this ep (unless you count all the frogs and bugs chiming in from the jungle and also the string of family and friends coming through the porch where I was recording) and I thought I'd take this time to reflect upon public resolutions I made last year at this time and whether or not I followed through with them and why I think resolutio…
