This holiday season, I'm most thankful for my therapist. I have a breakthrough regarding my neurotic need to stop being like my parents. I explore the idea of "creating what we defend against" from the Course in Miracles. Also, what does it mean to live small and how do we not do that in 2017? I saw Star Wars and love the Orphan Mythology - how powerful the theme is and how it can be applied to our lives. Also, more on drinking the Motherhood Kool-Aid. I drank more of that shit and found myself deep down a rabbit hole of maternal insecurity. There's so much to get deep on, you may wanna just put on a black turtleneck and beret to listen. Light a cigarette, hide from your boss, LET'S GET DEEP for the last time in 2016!

As my in-laws are here, I sneak into the studio and record this episode. I'm reading about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - just the first half of the book - but I feel like I know where it's heading. No more negative thoughts! Also, let's talk about aging. Why is it perceived as the worst thing imaginable in our culture? Also, is marriage for everyone? And what do you do with a partner/loved one who is addicted to drugs? Do you let them come over for the holidays and make everyone uncomfortable as F*ck? Let's get deep on it and celebrate, yo!

Every time I put an ornament on my tree, I hear my mother's voice "You're doing it wrong! You can't mix gold with silver!" I have a radical thought about liking myself...An emailer asks if she should quit her dream of being a social worker because of a failed first gig. I discuss failure and why it's such a loaded word. Speaking of words, do we have to be ultra sensitive about what words we choose? Did the PC movement of the 90's work? This European-American has some thoughts on that...let's get our lives and get DEEEEEEEP on it.

My whole life, I've wanted to violently beat anyone who chalks up shitty behavior to the phrase "but what IS normal?" Despite the psychological community's insistence that there is no norm, I think there is. If you've grown up in a dysfunctional home, you know for a fact there IS a "normal" and it probably involves not getting hammered and throwing plates of food at each other. In this episode I discuss the traits of adult children of Alcoholics - but I have a feeling you don't need a drunk Mommy or Daddy to relate to a lot of this stuff. Let's get deeeeeeep as fuck on it, bros.

Why do people hate being 40? Usually because their life sucks. You don't have to hate your age just because society expects you to. Also, why are we so afraid of change and what can be done to take the leap into doing something you really want to do? This week I saw some friends I hadn't seen in over 20 years! What I learned is that going for the dreams is terrifying but you have to otherwise you will hate yourself when you're 40. My friends and I took our leaps and here's some stuff I learned along the way.

"Love yourself" is the mantra of plus-sized models and drag queens, but what does that really mean? Does anybody really love themselves?

But is it possible that self-loathing could be a good thing in small doses? Take a listen, bros.
