Baggage Check: Mental Health Talk and Advice

We've all got baggage. But what do we choose to do with it? Every other Friday, licensed clinical psychologist, best-selling author and popular psychology professor Dr. Andrea Bonior takes your mental health questions, and makes you part of the conversation. Join her and other voices as they translate research into real life, and talk about relationships, emotions, health, psychological disorders, stress, finding meaning, work, and occasionally-- just occasionally-- the most obscure dance crazes of 1997. All are welcome, and nothing is off limits. With science, compassion, and humor, she's here to help. https://baggagecheckpodcast.com https://detoxyourthoughts.com

    It's Happening Again: Revisiting Tips to Tackle The Winter Blues

    As we take a production breather (in the cold, dark world of the "fall back" clock shift) we wanted to revisit an episode from a year ago about tackling the Winter blues. Contrary to popular belief, it's not really about temperature, as even folks fortunate enough to be able to wear a tank top at Thanksgiving can still suffer from seasonal blues-- which is mainly due to diminished sunlight. So, do you suffer from some "blahs" as it starts to get dark earlier? Join us to brush up on how to combat it. Follow Baggage Check on Instagram @baggagecheckpodcast and get sneak peeks of upcoming episodes, give your take on guests and show topics, gawk at the very good boy Buster the Dog, and send us your questions! Here's more on Dr. Andrea Bonior and her book Detox Your Thoughts. Here's more on this podcast, which somehow you already found (thank you!)

    Finding Light In the Darkness: For Ourselves and For Our Kids

    With horrifying images circulating amid devastating world news, we wanted to talk today about something that comes up constantly in times of despair: how to find the light, and how to talk to our kids about things that are scary and seemingly unspeakable. What about when we feel like we have no answers ourselves? How can we keep moving forward, setting the boundaries we need to set while also not sticking our head in the sand? We cover all of it-- and hopefully give you some hope-- today in Baggage Check.

    Catching Yourself in Sneaky All-or-None Thinking

    We all do it. Okay, maybe we shouldn't say we all do it-- because that's what we're up against today. We're talking about all-or-none thinking. We've mentioned this type of thinking before on Baggage Check, and how it is a common cognitive distortion that can easily make you more anxious, more depressed, and more irritable. But today we're tackling how to spot it-- and you may be surprised at some of the ways you use it. Join us!

    Fight, Flight, and Freakout: Your Body on Anxiety (And a Surprising Way to Manage It)

    Continuing with our theme of feeeeeeelings, we are devoting today to anxiety, and specifically the way that your body's physiology has been preparing for it for tens of thousands of years. Today we dive deep into the fear response, and why fight/flight/freeze doesn't have to be the enemy. We go through each of the most classic ways that your body physically processes threat-- how they benefit us and how they can be a hindrance, and finally (most importantly!) what we can do about it.
