SHADOW SELF 2.0, Y’ALL!

Welcome to “Beat The Mental Health Out Of It!” with your hosts, The DEFECTIVE Schizoaffective and IndyPocket!

The show where we have candid, unscripted discussions about everything related to mental health with a twist of humor and no-holds-barred!

In episode 15, we peeled back the layers of embracing “THE SHADOW SELF.”

But hold onto your hats, folks, because we’re doubling down with Nick’s audacious new concept:

“The 2, NEVER 3 ‘e’ System Of Embracing Our Shadow-Selves!”

You might be wondering, “What kind of sorcery is this?”

Well… In “BTMHOOI! Jesus”, we trust?

Now, let’s tackle the elephant in the room (or maybe it’s more like a hippo):

“Pedophilia”

Before you leave a flaming hot comment, HEAR US OUT! We’re not here to promote this abhorrent topic; instead, we’re delving into how to explore the unthinkable safely without dragging anyone into the depths of exploitation.

It’s inevitably controversial—more so than our previous episode—so we’re really putting ourselves on the chopping block to approach this topic in a way that attempts to help those grappling with morally murky compulsions.

In this uncomfortable episode, we’ll explore:

- How our unique framework can apply to any dark desire lurking in the corners of your mind

- Why it’s absolutely crucial to acknowledge our shadow selves and explore those dark urges SAFELY—because every desire deserves a safe outlet, no matter how twisted they may seem

- The dangers of judgment how embracing safe exploration could be the key to preventing real harm in the world

- Acknowledging that while you might not vibe with what’s lurking in someone’s shadow, it’s vital to recognize that everyone has their own dark side, just like you

We’ll also dive into why authenticity is paramount in today’s world, particularly when navigating the treacherous waters of social media as someone managing mental illness.

We also highlight why throwing out half-baked takes after a therapy session can do more harm than good, spotlighting the shady side of organizations like “BetterHelp.” (We love ripping them a new hole!)

Don’t settle for quick fixes from lazy therapists!

Don’t judge a book by its cover… Give us a chance to flip the pages before you burn us!
