Summary

Attachment 'insecurity" is partly a manifestation of unresolved stress patterns in the child and, by extension, the family. Therapists usually think of stress as interpersonal and dyadic, but you can't isolate individuals from context. We talk about context a lot when it comes to attachment - the circumstances or setting which helps to understand a process more deeply. As Sharon Lambert says in today's episode, you can't "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" if you have no boots. Sue Marriott and Sharon Lambert discuss the unconscious bootstraps communities have that cause blame towards those who are struggling. There is no doubt that poverty impacts physical and emotional health, and thus lifting children out of poverty is a direct intervention in their well-being. Today's session also explores fascinating research on how people use mental health podcasts - join us! www.therapistuncensored.com/join Shownotes here: www.therapistuncensored.com/191

0:06.8	what they are getting is mental health literacy. It's reducing stigma and increasing
0:13.1	health seeking behavior. Men in particular, working class men, who we know have very low levels
0:19.7	of mental health literacy and are the group who are less likely to access mental health supports,
0:25.6	hugely benefited from it. And it was really important during COVID, as well, that came up a
0:30.4	lot that a lot of people felt very isolated and very alone. And when they're listening to mental
0:36.0	health-related podcasts, it gives them a sense of connection and it gives them a sense of hope.
0:41.3	An additional thing was that there are also people who have dyslexia and perhaps other different
0:47.2	people who've experienced a lot of trauma who might find it difficult to concentrate. What they
0:51.6	like about podcasts is they can listen whenever they want and a time that works quite well for them.
0:57.7	And then they can listen to the same episode two or three times until they feel like they've totally
1:03.4	got it. Welcome to Therapist Uncensored. Building on decades of professional experience,
1:10.4	this podcast tackles neurobiology, modern attachment, and more in an honest way that's
1:15.3	helpful in healing humans. Your session begins now with Dr. Ann Kelly and Sue Marriott.
1:28.5	So I'm excited about our sponsor, Zach Dock. So as a therapist, I know it's really become hard
1:33.9	to help people find a therapist or psychiatrist, especially one that's taking new clients. It's
1:39.1	a real struggle. And Zach Dock is a free app that shows you doctors who are patient-reviewed,
1:45.2	take your insurance, and are available when you need them. I mentioned Therapist, but you can
1:49.7	find almost any specialist under the sun, need doctor, a dentist, and you can often see their
1:56.2	schedules and make an appointment all in the app. So that is so cool. And you know, we're finding
2:01.2	a restaurant. We often pour over reviews for just a single meal. And finding a doctor is so much
