#thewellnesstalks Podcast Jonathan Arenburg, Counsellor, published author, and mental health blogger

When I started The Road To Mental Wellness in February of 2019, the goal was a simple one. Help myself through the darkest moments of my mental health battle and try to help others along the way.

I am very proud to say that I have accomplished both of those missions. I not only surpassed my own expectations, but I have reached even more people with my book, also entitled The Road To Mental Wellness.

Sadly however, I am not well enough to tackle all this mental health stuff for more than a few hours a day. Yet, despite this fact, I am putting what energy I do have into it, whilst at the same time knowing my limits.

And that’s what matters. All I need is time to heal, a passion and a purpose to keep me going. And Wala, I have a life worth living.

In February Jonathan will be a speaker at this Stop Depression summit. A summit that will provide those in attendance with the most up to date information on the subject of depression.

I am honored to be taking part in such a wonderfully resource rich summit with some of the foremost experts in the field.

Why I hate Tic Tok- Are we destroying our selves and the very fabric of society? Here’s some food for thought.



Man, what a world we live in. I mean these computers and their modern-day capacities, I can bank from my phone, turn off my lights at home from work, and use GPS to get around? It’s mind blowing when you think about it. None of these amazing technologies were around when I was a kid

For me, the early to mid-eighties were the golden years of my childhood. And in those days, so too was the height of my imagination. Man, I’d love to have that vibrant and rich imagination today. As a content creator, this would be of a tremendous benefit to my work. Alas, adulthood has a way of eroding the power of daydreaming for example. So, like millions of modern adults, I do my best with what this mid-life brain has at its disposal.

Regardless of the dulling down effect brought on by the decades of mental illness, bills, and everyday life, 1980 something was my heyday. At least in a stress-free and creative sense.

I and many kids of that age grew up on the idea that the future was going to be amazing. More than that though, human life was going to be filled with hope and ease. (Kinda like a typical childhood). We grew up on Transformers, the Jetsons, G.I. Joe, and Star Trek. They all provided us with a moral lesson and a hope for peace.

Alternatively, we also had movies like The Terminator, Judge Dread, and Robocop. These films showed a very bleak and hopeless future thanks to tech. Personally, all of them held my attention and scared the life out of me, all at the same time.

Healing with your bros – This often-overlooked thing can be just as helpful for men as talking it out can be for others. So, get together and hang with your bros!



“Men, we need to talk more. We can’t stay silent about our innermost demons.” As a counselor and mental-health writer, man, and advocate, I couldn’t agree more. Taking time to battle what’s taking you apart from the inside is indeed helpful. My advice? Seek actual therapy to tackle what ails you. Trust me, my man friends, therapy is a safe one-on-one place. It’s perfect for those who don’t like to bare their souls to others.

Humans – We are oblivious to what makes us tick, but in reality, we are what we are. Read on to find out what that is



I am, we are only human. But what does to mean to be human? Well, it’s a complicated question with even more complicated answers. Ones I haven’t all the answers to but I, nonetheless, have a few ideas.

While it must be said, I am nowhere near an expert on what makes humans tick, I do however, have some knowledge. As someone who’s a trained counsellor and has worked with highly behavioural; and aggressive individuals for almost two decades, I’ve learned a thing or two.

Humans operate on a spectrum and aren't really that great at self-evaluation. that is to say that we aren't good at achieving the closes we can come to being balance. Whether it be diet, mental and or physical health, we tend to overcorrect and end up on the deficit end of the spectrum or the surplus side. Either end can arguably be really damaging.  So, essentially, the closer we are to the center line, the healthier we are (homeostasis)
