Show 83.5 Dental Anxiety - Encore Presentation

  , ,   
Heavy duty week at Amalgamated Salt and Brimstone. So many people are working their way toward hell we have to open a new branch in Jersey. Not disclosing which Jersey but if you see Zombies that might be the place.

So this is an repeat or as the use to say back in the day an encore presentation of ARP 021. Having a bad tooth and being terrified of going to the dentist.


 
It was much worse when I finally went to the dentist. So much unnecessary pain but I got a podcast out of it.

Show 082 Botox and Worry Journals

  , ,   
Just because a doctor makes a statement doesn't mean that you need to take it as gospel. Always double and triple check it out if the statement seems too good to be true. There is no rush and there is no lack.

In this episode a look at Botox for Depression. Actual more questions than answers. Who, what when, where, how, why, and how much?

Cosmetic surgery, psychiatry and psychology are three different domains of medicine. How does injecting a toxin in a certain region of the face help depression?

And also a look at worry journals. If you have Generalized Anxiety Disorder this could be one of the tools that you use to control the worry machine in your head.

I'm still working on shame and toxic shame; I want to find functional resources so I'm try again in a bit.

Show 079 Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy and Agoraphobia

Rollercoasters, Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy and Agoraphobia are somehow interrelated in this episode. I have to say the real world is far more interesting that what can be conjured up virtually but it does have potential as a treatment option.

Show 078.5 Sometimes It Doesn't Work Out

    
Life is unpredictable. You try to keep the bad things from happening and you can't.

You chug along, try your best but one day the roof leaks, the water heater is rumbling, people try to tap you for cash and all you want is for folks to give you space.

And they freaking will not do that.




So. This is where we are.

My current reality is not that bad. After seven years of faithful service my hard drive is going to meet the Gipper. I'm typing on chicklets and you can only record 90 seconds in MS One Note.



Good quality but limited. Just means I've got a bunch of stuff for next week.
