DISCUSSION WITH DR. LEXX: HOW TO BALANCE THE EGO (PT. 3)
Episode Summary
On his 16th birthday, Dr. Apples’ mother was kidnapped by fairies and replaced with a doll. Each year on his birthday, he’s presented a doll, which has his mother’s essence. He’s travelled to various planets, dimensions, and realms, questioned, tortured, and pried his way for clues. He’s on a mission to find his mother.
Welcome to the Dr. Apples Universe.
Our host, Lacye A. Brown, is the creator, visual artist, and producer of the Dr Apples Universe (she’s also one of Dr Apples’ assistants).
In this episode of Talk About Apples, Lacye talks to Dr. Lexx James (also known as Dr. Lexx). She is a certified sexologist, licensed marriage and family therapist, founder of the Institute for Sexuality and Intimacy, and best-selling author.
Today, they talk about the purpose of the Dr. Apples character and the theme of “The Ego” from Chapter 1.
Dr. Lexx tells us a bit about identifying an unbalanced ego and the steps you could take if you have discovered it an imbalance in your own ego (check out the Johari Window, it is an amazing starting point to discover your sense of self).

Welcome to the Dr. Apples interview series. I'm your host, Lacye. And today we delve into the captivating folklore of Dr. Apples. In this episode, we're not just recounting his story, but diving deeper into the theme of the ego. Join us as we dissect this compelling aspect of Dr. Apples journey and uncover the profound insights hidden within. This is part three. So, Dr. Lexx, what would be a sign of an unbalanced ego for, I would say, someone in their late 20s or early 30s? I'm a tad bit curious about that age range.
Dr. Lexx: 00:56
So, late 20s, early 30s is usually when we're looking at people starting to build intimacy. or they go into isolation, right? This is typically a time when people start to be social at work or social at school, starting to maybe have serious dating relationships, whoever they're dating. So, a sign that the ego is unbalanced there would be a lot of I don't want to say self-centeredness, self-absorption. So, everything is about self. We've all probably met those people, right, where they only talk about themselves. Or even if you bring something up, they bring something up in relation of themselves. Not for closeness, but so the conversation can shift back to them.
So, we start to see that, oh, well, you're not taking care of me, but you're also abandoning me. And everything is so much me centered. And then on the flip side, we see perfectionism. Right. So, people who are highly critical of anybody who goes against whatever set rules that that person has decided and not just for them, but for all of society. Well, this is the way I do it.
So, this is the way that everybody else should do it, because this is the way that's the best. That is an unchecked ego. Like, well, no, you know, you can cut paper hearts a bunch of different ways. I just choose it this way. Well, you're wrong. Like, um, I don't know if I want to be your friend anymore. I'm good. Great. Let's end this date now. But that's a sign that ego is, is much, much, much bigger and out of control than you might want to deal with.
