holding with less fury, playing is that true, heartbreak
December 17, 2020 20:12 - 1 hour - 71.2 MBSomeone wrote a note asking about some severe heartbreak, they had heard the fuck breakups episode, and I jumped off of that. I kind of didn't address what they were talking about I realized after so I will return to that but hopefully there's stuff in here that resonates with you. come along and hang out with me and my good bad brain for a pretty lengthy chunky brain breather.

what is after severe trauma
July 07, 2020 19:16 - 44 minutes - 40.9 MBWe devoted this episode entirely to one listener's question about what lies after severe trauma. The listener was sexually abused by their father though most of their family has not acknowledged this. Recently their father died and the listener expressed they'd always felt the feelings of trauma would go away with him, but they have not. This is a heavy but very useful episode, we are very fortunate to have Dr. Nick Barr with his extensive experience as a traumatologist to speak to. I just w...
helping with anxiety
July 07, 2020 19:08 - 48 minutes - 44.1 MBI 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 understand it so all my instinctive coping mechanisms only make it worse for the person I love who is experiencing anxiety. So, this ep has good ad...
violence for the nonviolent
June 19, 2020 18:52 - 1 hour - 110 MBHeyoooo 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 person is completely abhorrent. For those of us who are afraid of even the feeling of conflict for its proximity to emotional violence. So, y'know, ...
radicalizing
June 09, 2020 05:06 - 56 minutes - 51.7 MBNo 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 about that. I don't know what I'm gonna be doing with my life, with content and my creations, but... the world is changing. I hope you get someth...

blackpilled masses and family systems therapy
May 27, 2020 04:23 - 1 hour - 59 MBYes 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 mainstream therapy styles. It's interesting! If you wanna submit questions for the livestream either join us live on Sundays at 10am PST at youtu...

help exists
May 27, 2020 04:02 - 1 hour - 66.3 MBAs 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 guess. In this ep I got pretty emotional talking about when I got my ass into therapy at a tough time in my life and that discussion stuck out to me t...
why am i numb to kindness?
May 27, 2020 03:56 - 1 hour - 66.7 MBGetting caught up by dropping the last month or so of livestreams FINALLY. This one starts with me talking to Dr. Nick about some weird numbing responses I have to nice things and we get a question about self-harm behavior that gets into some interesting stuff. It's your typical good bad brain livestream type chat thing!

meds: running out and considering starting
April 20, 2020 02:48 - 1 hour - 95 MBI ran out of meds last week and it resulted in a pretty interesting (and very unpleasant) experience so I talk about that and we answer some questions about studies on psychedelics and then some questions about what to do after being done with a therapist but still feeling like you need help turn into a discussion of when one should maybe consider seeing a psychiatrist. Sorry I messed up the stream again, y'all are the best for being there. Self-care, hydrate, be well. patreon.com/mygoodbad...
values and boundaries: the keys to surviving your brain
April 20, 2020 01:20 - 57 minutes - 78.8 MBWe talked a lot today about themes related to controlling your potentially damaging behaviors despite whatever your brain might be telling you about "reality". In particular related to relationships which might be experiencing difficulties due to covid isolation. We also got into talks about dealing with memory loss and its relation to trauma, depression, and adhd. The themes of values and boundaries also came up as Dr. Nick answered some questions about how to healthily distance oneself fro...
yes but what can i DO? approaching politics and helplessness
April 12, 2020 15:55 - 52 minutes - 71.9 MBHi! 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 trained in our culture to separate politics from, well, everything but especially our mental health. And it makes SENSE that we do that as well, be...
the notion of toxic positivity
April 02, 2020 01:03 - 1 hour - 85 MBHeellloooo everyone, we're back with some more livestream goodness from the depths of quarantine. I wanted to talk to Dr. Nick about the idea of TOXIC POSITIVITY and how to differentiate it from a kind of healthy positivity which I think one requires to self improve. Dr. Nick presents some pretty great functional strategies for helping you change your mind without it being the sort of deranged toxic positive manifestation type of nonsense that can be very discouraging and lacking in compassi...
puppy or lion (managing quarantine with kids and partners)
March 28, 2020 15:53 - 1 hour - 85.4 MBHey everyone! I hope you're finding yourself well in quarantine. I know things are crazy out here so double down on self-care. This livestream found Dr. Nick fielding some questions about quarantine with kids, we talked about managing emotional flooding in tense partner situations when you know it's something you experience. We also talked about some of the potential positive outcomes of this really scary, anxious, and painful time. I know I've been experiencing an increased sense of communi...
quarantine stuff, suicide risk assessment, and defining codependency
March 16, 2020 23:20 - 1 hour - 99.1 MBOH yeah, we're back with Dr. Nick and the whole livestream thing. We talk about quarantine stuff, we talk about assessing suicide risk and how to help people who are deep in stuff like having anxiety attacks and answer some questions about what codependency even is. Resources provided by Dr. Nick related to today's episode can be found at www.patreon.com/mygoodbadbrain which is also where you can throw some cash at the pod if you dig the pod and are in the position to do something like tha...

dealing with our self-harming behavior with maria
January 18, 2020 18:58 - 1 hour - 67.7 MBWe'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. She talks about anxiety, depression, borderline personality, and we find some common ground discussing our tendency to romanticize our dangerous or damaging behaviors. We discuss a bit more than usual about alcohol use as well, more than I think we've talked about on the pod in the past. Sh...
My Good Bad Brain Hotline 1
December 18, 2019 21:33 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBThe first My Good Bad Brain Hotline tape is here and I'm very very honored to share it. You guys were so generous to contribute your experiences to this tape. Your share your personal experiences with various medications, among them are prozac, wellbutrin, lamictal, lamotrigene, and paxil. Some of you also share a bit more deeply about suicide attempts, eating disorders, hospitalization, experiences with anxiety, depression, bipolar... I can only say thank you. This is my favorite episode we...
thanksgiving narratives: stolen truck, new prozac, old stories
November 29, 2019 18:34 - 40 minutes - 74.8 MBHey 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. I had some come to jesus moments about the way I talk to myself which felt connected to some realizations about why I've avoided My Good Bad Brain, and it's connected to linguistic programming and narratives anchored in my past. So this one is a mix of t...
am i just broken should i just give up?
October 31, 2019 20:58 - 1 hour - 55.1 MBHey y'all, how are you? I've missed you. I walked up a little mini mountain to sit and record a brain breather while the sun went down. I used some suggestions from y'all for topics to discuss, which felt very appropriate and timely for myself as well. Things I go through. Thanks for being here with me while I think through it, as always I hope you get something useful out of it. Self-care, hydrate, be well. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

you have to buy into yourself before other people do with Brent Coble
September 20, 2019 22:47 - 1 hour - 71.5 MBHi. 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 stuff you might feel some resonance with this episode. We also talk about some real being a person growing up stuff, partnership and kids and how that...
Is mental illness causing mass shootings?
August 12, 2019 20:49 - 1 hour - 86.3 MBMental 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 guns don't kill people, people kill people... but not just people, mentally ill people kill people! So, let's round up the MENTALLY ILL people and ...
why dogs make us feel good
July 18, 2019 01:37 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MBWhy 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 solo brain breathers just off the cuff will exist again but I did something different today. I hope you learn something and find this episode use...
strugglin' in the meadow
June 26, 2019 01:19 - 56 minutes - 52 MBI 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 damn time. www.patreon.com/mygoodbadbrain Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
clayton farris and i talk about depression and performing and money
June 26, 2019 01:16 - 1 hour - 88.7 MBHere 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 about what being a person is?

pride, narcissism, and acting real with kat foster
June 12, 2019 01:13 - 1 hour - 81.6 MBHi, I am bad at this part because it's usually not long after I've finished recording and editing the podcast and it has that quality of oh my god I'm so close to done please can I just turn this in already and jesus i just listened to myself for so long now I need to write about what i said again it's just like, damn. but anyway, the title is accurate, i talk about pride and some politics and then have a talk with my friend kat foster who is an actor and a person and a friend. we did each o...
emotional flooding, feeling like a burden, depersonalization, and medication changes
May 28, 2019 03:36 - 56 minutes - 51.7 MBHi 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. For topics, I asked on my instagram for some ideas of stuff people might want to hear about and i got a lot of terrific responses. I ran with a few that jumped out at me, for some reason or another, and they're basically just the topics there in the title. I'm excited to see what else happens in this new year, I'm glad to be back to the pod, thank you for being her...
OUR good bad brain 2: anxiety and empathy with kaitlin ugolik - mgbb 52
May 05, 2019 23:22 - 1 hour - 71.2 MBToday I had another listener join me, and I continue to love these convos. Her name is Kaitlin Ugolik Phillips, she is a writer and editor in North Carolina. We talk about generalized anxiety disorder, persistent depressive disorder, and plenty about our typical existential good bad brain stuff. We also talked about empathy and its relationship to technology, I wanted to do this because Kaitlin has a book coming out called The Future of Feeling: Building Empathy in a Tech-Obsessed World and ...
ariana, jim, and deep rest - mgbb 51
April 23, 2019 05:12 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBHere 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 story of "me". We long to stop pretending, and express our raw truth! To give voice to our secret loneliness, our shame, our broken hearts, boredom...
OUR good bad brain with lyndsay cromwell - MGBB 50
April 16, 2019 01:21 - 1 hour - 94.5 MBHi! Okay, today is our first listener interview. Lyndsay Cromwell called in all the way from the Netherlands. She's had some depression and anxiety experiences she talks about as well as dealing with a few years of really difficult family stuff, including the death of her mother. I think you'll find plenty of resonance with what she shares, I certainly did. I think this might be what the pod was meant to be all along. If you'd like to be a guest on My Good Bad Brain, email me at mygoodbadbra...
being a ghost - mgbb 49
April 09, 2019 03:38 - 30 minutes - 28 MBThis 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.

facing mortality and whether or not we can change with kevin abrams - MGBB 48
March 27, 2019 04:12 - 2 hours - 112 MBToday 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 hope you do as well. If you enjoy the podcast and want to support it, go over to http://www.patreon.com/mygoodbadbrain and you can follow jarrett o...
the virtues of being alone, solitude, stoicism, some elusive concept of dignity - MGBB 47
March 23, 2019 02:18 - 58 minutes - 53.4 MBHere'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 it rather deeply. Alone isn't really alone. It's hanging out with yourself. Which is very scary if you don't like yourself. So, y'know, here are ...
gender identity and money and dance and being more possible and true with ava gordy and my good bad brain mgbb 46

If you listen to the first chunk and think you'd be interested in being on the pod, the email to send to is [email protected] I look forwar...
the you're ok tape - MGBB 45
March 05, 2019 23:45 - 1 hour - 67 MBI 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 help me take my mind off things when i can't do it on my own. when im deep into shit, i don't want to discuss my disorders, i just want a nice lil ...
MGBB 44 - "quiet ones" with melisa monts
February 27, 2019 01:21 - 1 hour - 80.5 MBToday 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 Ones. It's one of the few traits you can be assigned not by doing a thing but by NOT doing a thing, and that is so interesting to me, I wanted to ta...
MGBB 43 - helping others is helping yourself
February 14, 2019 00:18 - 47 minutes - 43.3 MBI 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's crowdfunding page and instagram, if you are able to part with a few bucks to try and help out with a very difficult situation a comrade good ba...
MGBB 42 - media, marijuana, and millennial mental health with dario civon
February 05, 2019 00:35 - 2 hours - 110 MBToday 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 reminds me of me, he's an artist and former athlete and just has a vibe that reminds me of me, a person responding to the absurdity of existence wi...
MGBB 41 - impostor syndrome, eating disorders, fear of failure, cycles of self hate
January 29, 2019 03:46 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MBI'm doing a solo one this week, talk about facing bad feelings again, negative sense of self in the form of impostor syndrome and fear of failure/success and how looking at this cycle seems to have illuminated some stuff i have with eating disorders and body dysmorphia, validation and whether i condone it or not for myself, all the flip flops and backbends i'll go through to protect and maintain my illness because not liking myself is part of WHO I AM and if i were able to change that then W...
MGBB 40 - dialogue, discussion, debate with mama terry
January 22, 2019 02:06 - 1 hour - 109 MBToday 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. debate and, well, I think it fundamentally changes how one receives other people and also how you talk to yourself. Anyway, find Terry online under t...
MGBB 39 - children of divorce: impostor syndrome, codependency, and commitment issues with cory demeyers
January 15, 2019 00:26 - 1 hour - 82.3 MBCory DeMeyers joins me today, he's an amazing parkour athlete and stunt performer and coordinator. I wasn't sure what exactly we were gonna explore today but after chatting for a while the themes arose on their own (as they're wont to do!). To other children of divorce out there, I hope you don't feel too attacked by the specificity of our experiences. I think Cory and I both made some realizations here in an episode that's a bit more therapy than I usually skew but no less delightful for th...
MGBB 38 - borderline personality and anorexia with Laura Cassidy
January 09, 2019 01:58 - 1 hour - 77.7 MBHeyyooooo today we're talking with the wonderful Laura Cassidy ( ig: laurakatecassidy ) about borderline personality and eating disorders, specifically anorexia. I felt I learned some stuff about myself here, I've been really releasing and rethinking a lot of my own eating habits since recording this right before the holidays, so I was super grateful for that. Also the discussion around borderline personality is really fascinating, I know very little about this and Laura though I've wondered...
MGBB 37 - RESOLUTIONS (on the road edition!)
January 02, 2019 06:46 - 38 minutes - 35.5 MBI'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 resolutions can be super duper fuckin' helpful for moving into newer, more enjoyable lives as ourselves. I hope your 2018 was okay and I hope your 2019 is...
