Hey everyone! 🎙️ Today, we’ve got an amazing episode of the Different Spectrums Podcast featuring Sammy Sullivan, who just won a bronze medal 🥉 in women’s rugby at the 2024 Paris Olympics! We’ll be diving into her journey, from her Olympic highs to getting married 💍 and even becoming a Lego Master 🧱. Sammy opens up about using Lego as a coping mechanism for anxiety and stress, which leads us to a special film discussion on Inside Out 2. We focus on one powerful scene from the movie that touches on panic attacks, anxiety, and the feeling of not being "enough." Sammy shares her personal experiences with anxiety during the Olympics, how she coped, and how mindfulness and a strong support system made a difference. We talk about the post-Olympic blues and the emotional challenge of being away from teammates who fully accept you—something many of us can relate to, especially those in the neurodivergent community. This episode is filled with laughs, emotional moments, and deep reflections on mental health, community, and the power of believing in yourself. We hope Sammy’s story inspires you to find your own support system and reminds you that it’s okay to ask for help. Take care, and thanks for tuning in! 💙 Thanks for checking out Different Spectrums!

  • Gen V: A Discussion on Eating Disorders, Vets, and Trans Identities (also Puppets) [Ft. Dr. Mac]

    Gen V: A Discussion on Eating Disorders, Vets, and Trans Identities (also Puppets) [Ft. Dr. Mac]
    2024/09/05
    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. Today on our podcast, we're thrilled to have Dr. Mac as our special guest. Dr. Mac, who proudly displays a Spider-Man tattoo 🕷️, shares their unique journey as a therapist and the challenges of being different in the field. We delve into the show, starting with a deep dive into eating disorders, focusing particularly on Emma's character. We explore how her struggles with body image and eating originated from childhood shame and abuse, shaping her life as a superhero who must oscillate between bulking up and purging. These scenes are poignant and triggering, shedding light on the daily battles faced by those with eating disorders, from hiding behaviors to the fear of being outed. Transitioning to another character, Sam, we discuss his portrayal of psychosis and autistic traits. We emphasize that individuals with such conditions are more often victims than perpetrators, debunking myths and stigmas surrounding schizophrenia and mental health in general. Trigger warnings are in place, particularly in scenes depicting violence against Sam. Throughout the podcast, we engage in insightful discussions about prevalence, symptoms, and the importance of seeking help. Dr. Mac's alternative approach to therapy adds a refreshing perspective, challenging traditional norms in mental health care. Tune in for an enriching episode where we navigate through these complex topics with empathy and understanding! 🎙️ 0:00 Attention 0:54 Sponsorship 1:57 Intro 6:16 Scenes 19:02 Discussion To find our new guest: Dr. Mac https://www.instagram.com/revealingtheivorytowerpodcast/ https://linktr.ee/Revealingtheivorytower We'd love to hear your ideas for future episodes and connect with you on social media.

Welcome to today’s team-up podcast with Dr. Katrina and licensed clinical therapist Portia! 🎙️ We’re diving into the Hulu show "Not Dead Yet," now in its second season. 📺 This episode focuses on Edward, an autistic character played by an autistic actor, giving us a great chance to discuss autism representation. 🌟 We’ll break down diagnostic criteria for autism but expect some laughs and tangents thanks to our ADHD. 😂 We explore Edward’s need for routine and organization due to OCD, his strong hygiene habits, and his challenges with humor and language nuances. 🧼 Edward’s journey in understanding others' perspectives is also a key point, illustrating how autistic individuals can develop cognitive empathy. 💬 Another critical topic is masking. 🎭 We see Edward sacrificing his own comfort to please a woman he's dating, a situation his best friend calls out. We’ll discuss the harmful effects of masking, comparing it to code-switching experienced by people of color, queer individuals, and women in the workplace. 🌈 Expect personal stories and insights from Katrina, Portia, Dr. Nas, and Spencer. 💬 This episode is packed with energy, humor, and valuable information about autism. We loved collaborating with Katrina and Portia and look forward to more team-ups in the future. 🙌 Enjoy learning about autism and the fun dynamics of our combined podcasts! 🎙️🧠📺 Thanks for checking out Different Spectrums!

  • Pearl: Depression, Anger and Affects of Neglect [Ft. Keshawn Jones]

    Pearl: Depression, Anger and Affects of Neglect [Ft. Keshawn Jones]
    2024/08/22

    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. Today we're joined by one of our favorite followers and guests, Keshawn Jones, owner of the Lost Soul clothing brand. 🎙️ Today, we dive into our first horror film in two years: "Pearl." We analyze the character Pearl, exploring how and why she becomes sociopathic. 🕵️‍♂️ Was she always like this, or did it build over time? Keshawn questions if her need for attention and love mirrors today's social media-driven society. 💔 We examine Pearl's monologue, where she reveals her deep pain, depression, and self-hatred, driven by her husband's departure for war and her trapped life on the farm. This scene, though intense, resonates with many who feel similarly trapped by their past or present circumstances. 🚜 Pearl's story highlights issues of neglect, abusive pasts, and unfulfilled desires, leading to resentment and hatred. It parallels the struggles of those hiding their identities or code-switching, like the queer community or neurodivergent individuals. 🌈 Despite Pearl's tragic path, most people don't harm others but rather themselves, manifesting in self-harm or suicidal thoughts. This film reflects society's craving for attention and the toxic effects of platforms like Instagram and TikTok, especially regarding unrealistic body standards. 📱 We hope you find today's podcast thought-provoking. Trigger warning for intense dialogue. Thanks to Keshawn for joining us, and be sure to check out his merchandise and support his artists. ❤️ Thanks for checking out Different Spectrums!

  • Accepted: Anti-Capitalism, Decolonizing Therapy, and Education [Feat. Kaitlin Baldwin]

    Accepted: Anti-Capitalism, Decolonizing Therapy, and Education [Feat. Kaitlin Baldwin]
    2024/08/15
    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. Today, we're excited to have Canadian therapist Kaitlin Baldwin as our special guest! 🎉 Kaitlin brings us the 2006 comedy "Accepted" to discuss deconstructing capitalism and decolonizing therapy. 🏫💭 We explore what these concepts mean and how to implement them as therapists and healthcare workers. Despite being a comedy, "Accepted" provides a visual representation of the struggles many face daily, especially the lie that getting an education from an elite school guarantees success. 🎓💸 Kaitlin highlights a hilarious scene with the fake president of the university who describes society in a capitalistic way, referring to people as "pimps and hoes"—just cogs in the societal structure. 😂 But underneath the humor, there's a harsh reality: in a capitalistic society, our worth is often tied to our productivity and financial success. We also delve into a scene where students, initially rejected by other institutions, experience their first taste of acceptance. For many of us—whether autistic, queer, or from minority groups—this resonates deeply. 💔🧩 The scene where a boy says it's the first time his father has been proud of him, even though the acceptance is to a fake university, highlights how societal validation impacts our self-worth. We also address the issue of fatphobia through a scene with a young Jonah Hill being bullied. 😢 Kaitlin emphasizes how society often devalues and mistreats those with larger bodies, leading to harmful bullying and abuse. We want to highlight the importance of respecting all bodies and challenging societal norms. We hope you enjoy the episode and the comedic scenes while reflecting on these important issues. Don't forget to check out Kaitlin's business in Canada, where she is currently accepting new clients. 📝 Additionally, she has a petition to improve mandated reporting for suicidal clients, which you can find in the link below.

  • Flubber: Best Mental Health scenes for: neurodivergentance, Love, and Feeling Different

    Flubber: Best Mental Health scenes for: neurodivergentance, Love, and Feeling Different
    2024/08/12
    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. 🎙️ Today, we're diving into the Robin Williams classic Flubber. We’re teaming up for a fun podcast with a bit of an edge, where we’ll explore several intriguing topics. 🌟 First up, we’ll discuss the challenges of being neurodivergent, including how we might be manipulated or overlooked in jobs and academia. 🧠💼 We’ll cover how our work can be stolen or appropriated, often because we struggle with asserting ourselves or setting boundaries. This episode will offer insights on handling these issues and processing the sadness that can come with them. Spencer’s favorite scene features Robin Williams on the basketball court, where his head keeps getting bopped by the ball. 🏀 We’ll use this as a metaphor for trial and error, highlighting how experimentation and failure are normal parts of growth and learning. This applies to mental health, socializing, dating, and more—finding breakthroughs often means enduring some embarrassment and trying new approaches. Next, we’ll discuss a poignant scene where Robin Williams talks about being absent-minded not out of laziness but because of love. ❤️ We’ll explore how love can be both intoxicating and consuming, especially for those who are autistic. We’ll delve into the balance between wanting and needing relationships and how to avoid toxic cycles by understanding oneself before diving into a relationship. Spencer presents a scenario where a young man feels unloved and unappreciated by his partner. 🗣️ Dr. Naz will validate these feelings and offer therapeutic advice on improving communication and understanding in relationships. The key takeaway is that clear communication is essential to ensure both partners' needs are met. Lastly, we’ll talk about finding love or strong friendships and the joy of sharing adventures, even if it means seeing Flubber in unexpected places. 🌈🤖 We pay tribute to Robin Williams, who remains a beloved figure and role model. His humor, empathy, and kindness continue to inspire us. We hope this podcast brings a smile to your face and reminds you that, despite the tough times, laughter and connection are vital. Enjoy the show and remember to check out Flubber for a dose of fun and inspiration. 🌟 0:00 Attention 0:54 Sponsorship 1:57 Intro 5:10 Scenes 15:37 Discussion We'd love to hear your ideas for future episodes and connect with you on social media.

    Creed 3: A Discussion on Mens Mental Health [Feat Dr. Ritch Hall]
    2024/08/08
    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. Today, we have a special podcast with Dr. Ritch Hall, focusing on the hit movie Creed III, directed by and starring Michael B. Jordan. We're recording this during June in honor of Men’s Mental Health Month. 🎥👊 Dr. Hall dives deep into themes of masculinity, trauma, and coping mechanisms. We discuss why it's particularly challenging for men, especially men of color, to seek therapy and how many resort to unhealthy habits like alcohol and drugs to cope with life's difficulties. We start by exploring scenes where Creed interacts with his family and old friend. Dr. Hall explains the pressure of masculinity, why it's hard for men to open up, and how past traumas can lead to destructive behaviors. We focus on Creed's relationship with his wife, his reluctance to share his past traumas, and the impact this has on his family. 👫💔 One powerful scene shows Creed breaking down and finally opening up to his wife, who comforts him and helps him let go of his guilt and shame. This moment highlights the importance of vulnerability and communication in healing. 😢❤️ We also look at Creed's relationship with his best friend, Damian. Their dynamic reveals how unaddressed traumas and resentments can manipulate and damage friendships. Dr. Hall discusses the visual metaphor of the boxing ring as a representation of life's struggles and the constant fight to survive and adapt. 🥊👥 In today's podcast, you'll hear Dr. Hall articulate these complex issues and even engage in a role-play therapy session with Dr. Naz. This new feature will be a regular part of our podcast, offering listeners a firsthand look at therapeutic techniques. 🎙️🛋️ Thanks for checking out Different Spectrums!

    Logan: Aging, Grief and Nothing left to give
    2024/08/05
    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. Today, we delve into the magnificent yet tragic movie Logan. 🦸‍♂️ The film portrays an aging Wolverine and Professor Xavier, confronting the harsh reality of loved ones growing old, their bodies and minds deteriorating, and the inevitable loss we all face. Spencer and Dr. Naz discuss the emotional impact of seeing loved ones decline and how terrifying it is to imagine ourselves in that situation. They explore how to support clients in this phase, acknowledging the loneliness and grief that can accompany old age. In Logan, we see Professor Xavier in a weakened state, which prompts a discussion about the therapist's role in providing validation and support when clients feel utterly alone. Sometimes, all we can do is acknowledge the difficulty and offer companionship. The film also highlights themes of protection and rage, as seen when Logan reacts to the loss of Xavier. This explores how love can manifest as fierce protection, especially when someone dear is harmed. We also examine the role of X-23, Logan's daughter, who represents children caring for aging parents or siblings. Her strength and determination to save and protect Logan are profound, reflecting the burdens some children bear. Logan’s struggles with wanting to die and his nightmares resonate with many who experience anxiety and despair. X-23 confronts him about his desire to give up, and they share moments of vulnerability and connection. The heartbreaking climax, where Logan dies in his daughter's arms, leaves us with a powerful message: "Be better than what they made you." This call to rise above societal expectations and stereotypes is poignant for marginalized identities. Today's podcast is intense and emotional. Spencer and Dr. Naz share tears and hope, encouraging listeners to find healing and joy amidst the pain. 🌟 Take care and continue to laugh with us on this journey.
