Black & White Thinking (Ep. 33)
<p>Binary (Black-and-White) Thinking: Why We Do It, How It Controls Us, and How to Get Free</p><p>Paula D. Atkinson and Lisa K. Kays, discuss binary (black-and-white) thinking and how it shows up in culture, education, media, and clients’ decision-making. Lisa shares reflections from Jane Goodall’s “famous last words” interview, emphasizing that there is no single “right” way to live and that the task is to be yourself. They define ambivalence (having mixed feelings) and cognitive dissonance (stress from holding conflicting beliefs or actions) and connect binary thinking to control, authoritarianism, and white supremacy culture’s “only one right way.” They explore how constant judging fuels anxiety, rumination, and defensiveness, why accepting being “the asshole sometimes” reduces manipulation, and how improv’s “yes, and” rewires rigid thinking toward nuance, paradox, and liberation.</p>

Mental Health In Chaos(Ep. 32)
<p>What If Nothing's Wrong With You?</p><p>Mental Health In Chaos (Ep. 32)</p><p>(Episode recorded September 2025)</p><p>Paula D. Atkinson and Lisa K. Kays discuss the core question “What if nothing is wrong with you?” in the context of todays societal chaos and fascism, especially in Washington, DC, where ICE activity and arrests are creating fear, restriction, and powerlessness. They note many clients “relapsing” into coping behaviors like food restriction, increased drinking, bingeing, and shopping, framing these as attempts to regain control or soothe, and warn that shame and self-ranking reinforce the very dynamics of white supremacy and fascism. They argue there are often no good options, encourage choosing with agency rather than conforming or rebelling, and emphasize “permission” over perfection, empathy without suffering Olympics, and supportive relationships. </p><p>00:00 Welcome and Big Question<br>00:58 Thunderbolts Movie Takeaways<br>04:34 Pop Culture and Fascism Jokes<br>05:26 Unicorn Girl Scam Podcast<br>10:28 Societal Chaos and Relapse<br>12:33 Life in DC Right Now<br>18:00 Control Soothing and Shame<br>21:11 Suffering Olympics and Empathy<br>22:39 Resisting In Groups<br>23:33 Empathy Without Centering<br>24:40 No Win Dilemma<br>27:09 Permission Over Perfection<br>28:50 Activism Without Burnout<br>30:03 Middle Path Agency<br>33:45 No Good Options<br>36:38 Drop The Virtue Tests<br>39:38 Shame Helps Fascists<br>41:24 Closing And Reviews</p>
