    Stress

    Hello & welcome to The Social Work Journal podcast. Today's episode is about exploring the numerous factors that cause stress. Oftentimes we confuse stress with anxiety or depression although they may pair hand-in-hand. What's worst is the communal shame or guilt we may experience when we look to others to co-ruminate about our stress. Ironically, engaging our community is vital in helping us process and better cope with stress. Come along a journey of self-exploration and find solace in this place of healing!

    Value

    Welcome to The Social Work Journal podcast! Today's episode is about exploring value; specifically, self-value. Often times our behaviors are mediated by rewards and consequences. This may result in us valuing characteristics such as selflessness as a virtue and consequently may impact our self-esteem. As we are conditioned into valuing the needs of others more than we value ourselves we loose our sense of self-value. Come along this journey to embark upon a discussion in which we can discover ways to set boundaries and uphold our personal boundaries.

    Impulse

    Today's episode of The Social Work Journal discusses impulsivity and explores mental health disorders in which impulsive behaviors are prevalent. Additionally, Deltom utilizes pop-cultural references such as the Will Smith apology address and “The Story of God With Morgan Freeman” to illustrate what impulsive behaviors as well as impulse control disorder may look like on both ends of the spectrum. Join in on the journey of self-reflection as this episode employs us to reassess our own impulses and challenges us to consider extended empathy for others who act impulsively. 0:20 Will Smith’s Apology Address: Why didn’t he apologize to Chris Rock sooner? 1:35 The Elephant in the Brain: Impulses,Collective Reinforcement theory, & the consequences that follow 3:45 Behaviorist Theory & Operant Conditioning: Our behavior is modulated by rewards & consequences 5:30 Impulse Control Disorder: Contributing factors (biological & environmental) 7:30 The DSM-IV & Neurological, Mood, Disruptive-Impulse Control, & Personality Disorders (an examination of symptoms and consequent impulsive behaviors) 24:45 The Story of God With Morgan Freeman: Exploring the experience of an inmate who has Antisocial Personality Disorder & how this impacts his ability to exercise empathy as well as modulate his impulses 28:20 Evil Personified: Extending empathy & reaching a level of understanding to others who act impulsively Support: https://cash.app/$thesocialworkjournal https://www.venmo.com/u/thesocialworkjournal Connect with Deltom: Website: thesocialworkjournal.com Tik Tok: @thesocialworkjournal Instagram: @thesocialworkjournal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesocialworkjournal Ouotes by Deltom: “It’s funny because we all have personal struggles with modulating our impulses but there are some offenses that are more morally regulated in society than others.” “In tying this back into the Will Smith apology address, I also wonder if people would have been empathetic toward him had his response to the question prompt been ‘I don’t know why I didn’t apologize to Chris in my acceptance speech.’” “To answer Morgan Freeman when you are dealing with an outlier or an anomaly as such you can choose to assign a moral standard but you will never be able to reach an understanding of that outlier if your are comparing it to a norm.”

    Algorithm

    Today's episode of The Social Work Journal relates technology to emotions and behaviors. Deltom dives deep into the different types of commonly used algorithms and how they ironically are parallel to the way our cognition regulates our impulses. Additionally, Deltom explores what we see on the internet and how it directly impacts our self-esteem as well as the standards we set for ourselves. Join the journey of self-discovery as this episode employs us to investigate how much of the virtual world is real. 1:30 "Greedy Algorithm" paralleled to impulsivity and cognitive impairment 3:00 "Baysian Theory" & "Prior Probability"- predicting future behavior 9:45 "The Social Dilemma"- algorithm's impact our behaviors and emotions w/o triggering our awareness 10:10 Social media, self-esteem, suicide, and self-harm rates 11:00 & 14:00 "Celebrity World"-comparing ourselves to others, self/societal expectations 12:00 Timeline Envy- posts that effect our self-esteem 12: 45 Kim Kardashian Unfiltered-bashed for looking like a "real" woman 15:00 Connections through COVID-how social media supported loneliness during the shelter-in-place 16:00 False narratives & fake news 20:00 What's Real?-How do we govern our morality & differentiate real from fake Support: https://cash.app/$thesocialworkjournal https://www.venmo.com/u/thesocialworkjournal Get Connected: Website: thesocialworkjournal.com Tik Tok: @thesocialworkjournal Instagram: @thesocialworkjournal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesocialworkjournal Ouotes by Deltom: "That's what artificial intelligence is all about. It's about predicting your future behavior, with past behavior." "Because 'greedy algorithm' is not always reliable in decision making, they use dynamic programming." "Have you every found yourself constantly checking emails and wondered why? For some reason, I get this high whenever I delete emails. I've asked myself, "why" I don't just sit down and take the time to unsubscribe."

  6. Narratives

    Narratives

    Today's episode of The Social Work Journal explores narratives. Deltom theorizes that there are two types of narratives: the narratives we tell ourselves (to justify our behavior or make ourselves feel better) & the narratives we tell others (which are tied to our identity). Throughout this episode, Deltom uses real-life scenarios and references pop-culture to give further context of how narratives are defense mechanisms that cause us to act in a manner that is counterintuitive to our true intentions. 3:45 Our Identity is who we are (we need others to believe "who" we say we are) 5:55 Pleasure Principal (our need to experience pleasure and disregard pain) 7:30 A strong vs. weak ego and our ability to tolerate frustrations 8:00 The overuse of the term "narcissism" 9: 45 Perceived failure (a sense of great loss) 11:15 People are inherently good but behave counterintuitively to their intentions 12:58 Puzzled by projection (Deltom's experience w/the projection defense) 14:52: Reality TV imitates reality (an example of how people use vulnerable/victim narratives as a defense mechanism) Support: https://cash.app/$thesocialworkjournal https://www.venmo.com/u/thesocialworkjournal Get Connected: Website: thesocialworkjournal.com Tik Tok: @thesocialworkjournal Instagram: @thesocialworkjournal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesocialworkjournal Ouotes by Deltom: "People tell themselves the story that makes them feel better" "I believe that as people we are inherently good and we intend to do good" "We are likely to empathize with someone when they tell us a traumatic story. That is your first instinct."

  7. Manipulation

    Manipulation

    Manipulation can be positive when used for the greater good of the whole or to help others. However, manipulation has a negative connotation as it is usually used to favor the needs of the manipulator. In this episode of The Social Work Journal, Deltom theorizes and categorizes tactics commonly used to manipulate others in positive and negative ways. Pop cultural references from reality shows and recent media are used to provide further context as to how manipulation is used and the impact it has on others. Deltom discusses rhetoric in media about “the perfect victim” while referencing “ideal victim theory” and summarizes the discussion by sharing her own experiences as well as how to combat manipulation. 1:00-Defining manipulation/positive manipulation tactics (physical, mental, emotional) 5:30-Negative manipulation tactics (guilt tactics) 8:00- Example from reality show “Selling Sunset” of a comparison manipulation tactic 9:00- Marginalization/comparison tactics 11:30-14:30 Depp vs. Heard and “word salad” and guilt tactics 15:00-Politicizing domestic violence as a gender issue with word salad manipulation tactics 17:15- The “perfect victim” (ideal victim theory) 18:04- Mirroring manipulation tactics and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs 20:14 The vulnerable manipulation tactic (manipulators establishing an intimate connection with others with the intent to manipulate) 22:30-How to combat a manipulator Support: https://cash.app/$thesocialworkjournal https://www.venmo.com/u/thesocialworkjournal Get Connected: Website: thesocialworkjournal.com Tik Tok: @thesocialworkjournal Instagram: @thesocialworkjournal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesocialworkjournal

She said, ‘sometimes people, they don’t treat you bad or they’re not intimidated by you by what you have in the moment. It’s what they see you becoming” -Deltom “Neuroticism is when you have a negative outlook on situations that remind you of a negative experience”
