    You're Not Living In Reality: The Spectacle of Commodities

    This episode is about Guy Debord's idea of the spectacle: a social system where life is mediated by images and appearances. It’s not just about watching TV or scrolling through social media—though those are clear examples—but about how everything in society becomes a performance, a show. The spectacle turns real, lived experiences into representations, where appearances matter more than substance. It’s a world where being has turned into appearing, and we are constantly performing, not living. Inspired by: The Philosophize this Podcast  Society of the Spectacle

  7. What'd You Call Me? Stigmatizing Language in EHRs/EMRs

    What'd You Call Me? Stigmatizing Language in EHRs/EMRs

    This is a heavy one! One factor contributing to racial health inequities is implicit bias- or rather the consequences of unchecked biases in healthcare settings.  Implicit or explicit negative attitudes toward patients may adversely impact quality of healthcare and perpetuate health disparities. Stigmatizing language written in a patient’s medical record contributes to attitudes and implicit bias, ergo influencing physician decision-making and treatment. Although medical records are an integral method of communicating about patients, they have been a vector for transmitting implicit bias in the healthcare profession. This episode outlines the importance of mandating that clinicians undergo supplementary training to properly, accurately, and objectively document  patient information on electronic health records (EHRs).

    On Naming Your Emotions: Part 2 of The Mindfulness Series

    Language is our portal to meaning making, and without the right language to describe and articulate our emotions, we may struggle to find healing. We may find that emotions begin to consume us, chip away at our physical and mental well-being, and manifest as destructive behaviors. When we lack the right vocabulary, connection becomes all the more difficult. When our emotional language is limited, we we feel disembodied or disconnected from ourselves and others. Language is pivotal to allowing emotions to guide our behaviors productively, help us make sense of ourselves and the world, and extend compassion to those we listen to. Part of mindfulness is awareness without judgement, and awareness is achieved by discernment. By naming our emotions, we can act as impartial observers without allowing them to overwhelm us. And in that process, we gain control. And come on, we have a cool pre-frontal cortex, we might as well use it!  Follow the Ish Matters Instagram for episode updates and summaries: @ishmatters  Brene Brown: Atlas of The Heart  Gabor Mate: When The Body Says No Emotions wheel: feelingswheel
