Well, I just wasted my time watching this. I already knew about all of this. I have Treatment Resistant Major Depression and have been on most psychiatric medications which none helped and only made me feel worse. I have had ECT and it helped a little bit. I’m still severely depressed daily and am considered permanently mentally disabled and I am unable to work. I can’t do many things for myself and I can’t take care of myself. I am going to look more into Ketamine treatment and I think my insurance only covers the intranasal type.
This was so validating to hear. I just received my diagnosis in my mid twenties, I have the "pure O" OCD. I have finally started being able to do therapy after finding the right psychiatrist. I finally feel like I have my life back, but I feel robbed that I lost so many years to being a prisoner to an unknown mental illness. This feels like a eureka moment.
Just visited the website and its very helpful. I felt validated by the survivor stories. I'm going to try the cold water method when my next attack comes. Thank you for this advice.
Thank you both for an excellent discussion . I'm in my late 60's and have had depression , anxiety and a drinking problem for over 30 years . 8 antidepressants , Naltrexone and 5 years of talking therapy haven't helped me improve , although I enjoyed therapy , which of course is also beneficial in general . I live in Brazil , where cubensis mushrooms are not illegal - however there are no programs or means to combine a high dose of mushrooms with a trained therapist , at least as far as I know . So instead I microdosed 0.2 every third day for a little less than 2 months on my own . There was no change regarding depression or anxiety , but as of the second dosing day I had absolutely no desire to drink alcohol , which I find amazing after having drunk more than my fair share for over 30 years . Either the placebo effect is the most underrated tool in the homo sapien arsenal , or that very low dose caused some change . 2 months have passed since my last microdose and unfortunately I've gone back to having the occasional drink , although not to the same level as before . Anyway , that's my little story . Again , congratulations for your well presented and informative talk . I will follow up with the books and articles you suggested .
The introduction of the guest is waaay too long in my opinion. It should be done in one simple sentence. The fact that this wasn't the case already made me jump to a random point in the video.
A radical behaviorist’s procedure for emotional control that is contrary to ACT, quickly refutable with a good swift kick. The ideal for any scientist with a great idea is to be able to explain it in a minute, and to confirm or falsify it as quickly. The world record for this arguably goes to the English philosopher Samuel Johnson, who rejected Archbishop Berkeley’s argument that material things only exist in one’s mind by striking his foot against a large stone while proclaiming, “I refute it thusly!” Here is a similarly novel and useful idea that can be confirmed or refuted with a proverbial swift kick, and with it an implicit criticism of behavior analysis, and why radical behaviorism is so important. Basic Facts: Endogenous opioids are induced when we eat, drink, have sex, and relax. Their affective correlate, or how it ‘feels’, is a sense of pleasure. Fun Fact: When we are concurrently perceiving some activity that has a variable and unexpected rate of reward while consuming something pleasurable, opioid activity increases and with it a higher sense of pleasure. In other words, popcorn tastes better when we are watching an exciting movie than when we are watching paint dry. The same effect occurs when we are performing highly variable rewarding or meaningful activity (creating art, doing good deeds, doing productive work) while in a pleasurable relaxed state. (Meaning would be defined as behavior that has branching novel positive implications). This is commonly referred to as ‘flow’ or ‘peak’ experience. So why does this occur? Dopamine-Opioid interactions: or the fact that dopamine activity (elicited by positive novel events, and responsible for a state of arousal, but not pleasure) interacts with our pleasures (as reflected by mid brain opioid systems), and can actually stimulate opioid release, which is reflected in self-reports of greater pleasure. Proof (or kicking the stone): Just get relaxed using a relaxation protocol such as progressive relaxation, eyes closed rest, or mindfulness, and then follow it by exclusively attending to or performing meaningful activity, and avoiding all distraction. Keep it up and you will not only stay relaxed, but continue so with a greater sense of wellbeing or pleasure. A Likely Explanation, as if you need one! A more formal explanation from a neurologically based learning theory (i.e. a radical behaviorism) of this technique is provided on pp. 44-51 in a little open-source book on the psychology of rest linked below. (The flow experience is discussed on pp. 81-86.) The book is based on the work of the distinguished affective neuroscientist Kent Berridge, who was kind to review for accuracy and endorse the work. Implications for behavior analysis: Rest is an affective state that is labile, or changeable, and is not a static and non-affective state, which is incorrectly presumed in the meditation literature. In addition, the modulation of pleasurable affect induced by rest is not dependent upon a species of attention (focal meditation, mindfulness meditation), but is ‘schedule dependent’, or correlates with the variability of schedules or contingencies of reward and the discriminative aspects of incentives (i.e. their cognitive implications). In other words, resting is affective, and its inherent affect is not static but dynamic, as the opioid systems activated by resting protocols can be modulated by dynamic or phasic changes in dopamine systems that are induced by concurrently perceived positive act-outcome discrepancies or expectancies which in turn incent us to avoid distraction and maintain a restful state. Unlike behavior analytic approaches to affect such as RFT and its therapeutic offspring ACT, affect is not altered by highly complex and inferred private cognitive manipulations, but rather by abstract properties of very simple and public response contingencies. Finally, by ignoring how affective salience is dependent upon abstract properties of reinforcement contingencies and how simple patterns of information can enhance or depress affective states from arousal to pleasure, behavior analysts have merely opened the door to competing mentalistic perspectives on many key affective aspects of life, reframed as ‘intrinsic motivation], ‘flow’ or meditative experiences and much more, making psychology into more a matter of creating taxonomies of ghostly motives untethered to reality than creating understanding, and diminishing the importance of behavior analysis in psychology.

I’m not judging anyone. I have been a client of psychiatry for many years and believe in medication for bipolar, bipolar with mixed episodes, paranoid schizophrenia, and deep sadness also psychosis I know that a lot of these medications have messed people's lives up. I was only talking about hypersexuality which I have dealt with. I believe in medicine. I also know that many of these medications have injured people's health. I could go on, and on. but I was only talking about hypersexuality. Just because ( I've been hypersexual at different times) I believe many pills have replaced true prayer and seeking God. I judge no one. If you are going through a hypersexual behavior one should mortify the desires of the flesh. Meaning hypersexuality. Also, many people are so addicted to benzodiazepines. They are taking the drug as prescribed and end up hooked like a fish and the client didn't ask for this yoke of bondage. We need to seek the Lord when we are anxious not to take benzodiazepines that rewire the brain and can take years to be normal again. Some of these medications cause heart disease ( calcium build-up in the arteries) cutting one’s life short. Many of these drugs cause people to gain excessive weight, becoming obese and unhappy. Psychiatrists don’t even know how a lot of these drugs work and yet they will prescribe the same person 12 different meds. to find what works and by that time the person’s brain chemistry is all out of whack. I have intimate friends who have suffered at the hands of a psychiatrist. We have become a pill nation.
@@jonathangolden9299 What post did you take down, and why? You already explained you are NOT judging people with problems, and that you have helped yourself through the Lord, and also, the TRUTH about medications. You have done a positive thing here, NOT a negative thing. I am not sure which posting you have taken down, but keep up the great work in informing people about all the dangerous medications, because you are absolutely correct.
Deborah TruthSeeker After reading my post it seemed a bit harsh and I just wrote out what I was feeling at the moment, which is wrong. You seem like a sweet person and I call you friend. I’m also a truth seeker, so we have something in common. I love you in the Lord. Keep me in your prayers. I’m dealing with some trying matters that would have already broken my back, but for Jesus I’m standing.
I have sca. It’s real and a slavery. It lies like alcohol and drugs a smooth liar. More so. Always leads to emptiness. No matter how it dresses up the lie. This time. Being with others who totally understand is total power.

Awesome! I am a 42 year old who has been working in the community of LA for over 15 years. I am about two weeks out from getting my MSW. This was a great presentation I will use in my practice.
