    Your Therapist Needs Therapy 168 - The Myth of Consensual Violence

    This week Jeremy is talking about duels! Ten paces, turn and fire, except, actually, modern violence looks a lot more like insurance claim denials and qualified immunity than any version of fisticuffs. Jeremy digs into why we still think of violence in only person-to-person terms, and who gets to decide which violence is visible and allowable. Looking for retreat details?

    Your Therapist Needs Therapy 166 - Who Does Community Well?

    This week Jeremy grapples with the paradox that everyone wants community but so few people actually do community well. Using some real life examples from his own lived experience, Jeremy highlights some of the common pitfalls of too many humans interacting with one another, and lays out some of the high points of communities that unfortunately still tend to fail at scale. We wrap this week’s episode looking forward to what changes we can focus on to support better communities in the future.  As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube.

    Your Therapist Needs Therapy 165 - Why Is It So Hard To Be Happy?

    This week Jeremy asks why is it so hard to do the things we actually want to do? He explores the gap between desire and capacity, and why exhaustion, perfectionism, and the lure of immediate gratification can make even the things we love feel like chores. Maybe the answer isn't more discipline, but less shame, less friction, and permission to do things badly simply because we enjoy them.

    Your Therapist Needs Therapy 164 - The Rise of the Tiny Tyrant

    This week Jeremy talks about the tiny tyrants who make everyday life miserable. From HOA presidents and angry customers to sports parents screaming at umpires, we unpacked why small amounts of power can bring out our worst impulses. We explore the psychology and social conditions that turn ordinary people into enforcers, and what it looks like to use the small amounts of power we all have to build community instead of hierarchy.

    Your Therapist Needs Therapy 163 - Your Burnout Is Making Someone Else Money

    This week Jeremy pulls out some cork board and red string to connect all the ways in which late stage capitalism wants you to be burnt out. Jeremy talks about the extractive nature of late stage capitalism and how it creates and then profits from your exhaustion. While self care is always lovely and stress management is never a bad thing, Jeremy makes the case that no rest will ever truly cure burnout as long as capitalism is still the system we live under. Something something revolución. As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube.

    Your Therapist Needs Therapy 162 - Cult Survivors Talking to the Media with Dhyana Levey

    This week Jeremy gets the chance to sit down with Dhyana Levey, a journalist who specializes in working with survivors of insular religious groups. Dhyana and Jeremy chat about the modern hype around cult documentaries, and the spaces where both (either?) the media and survivors can get the story wrong. Dhyana shares some tips about deciding when and how to share a survivor story with the media, and also has some pointers on where more caution is needed.  Dhyana’s work can be found at undooblivion.org, and her former work in sharing stories of survivors is available in the episodes of Generation Cult, available on all major podcast platforms.  As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube.

    Your Therapist Needs Therapy 161 - They Don’t Even Have the Decency to Lie Anymore

    This week Jeremy channels his inner “world’s greatest detective” to be able to look at the overt evil we encounter in the modern world. We ponder on what it means that corruption no longer feels the need to hide itself, war crimes do not merit front page coverage, and the government is full of a cast of villains that would make a comic book writer blush. Jeremy also talks about the mental toll of living in a dystopia so absurd that it outpaces satire. But hey!
